------------------------------------------
Edward had to amend his plans a little to be suitable for the new situation. He was not ready to cast Ashara away, but he also did not want a woman to control him, even if she was his wife.
Edward just had to corrupt her thinking and make her a psychopath like him. If Ashara desired more power, he was sure that she would even betray the Dayne's for her children. It was an intriguing idea, and Edward was really thinking of implementing it.
Seeing that Edward had fallen in thought, Ashara was a little disappointed. She thought that Edward was thinking again about his decision after hearing that he would have to fight Lord Baratheon. Well, How could she blame him? No one wanted to die.
"I know it's hard. You could forget about anything I said earlier." Ashara said that as she attempted to stand and leave, but Edward caught her hand at once.
"Sit down." Said Edward in a threatening tone. He was behaving like an idiot for the past two days. Was he going to allow the reason for all that to leave just like that?
Ashara took a glance at Edward before she sat again on her seat. She realized she behaved a little out of her character. Was she shy and wanted to leave because she was embarrassed? She was the daring Ashara Dayne. She did not mind having an affair with the man she liked in Harrenhall. How could she get embarrassed just like that?
Ashara could only look at the man that had caused this change in her character. What was he going to say now? She waited for his answer.
"Don't look at me like that. I would visit your brother when Lord Baratheon arrives. I am going to challenge him." Said Edward as he wanted to torture her a little as she was the reason for his brain's malfunction.
Ashara looked at him for a moment before smiling. She liked this side of him as She always had a thing for the strong and daring men.
They continued talking for another hour before Ashara Excused herself to return to her home. Ashara wanted to know his real name and the house he came from, but Edward continued to avoid the questions. Edward wanted her to be in the dark till the time he met her brother. It was a good idea of revenge.
Ashara was not satisfied with his answer. That was why they decided to meet in another two days. It would be the last time before Lord Baratheon visited her house. Ashara wanted to know Edward's Identity before that day. She wanted to be able to say something about Edward to her brother.
Five days passed in a blink of an eye. During those three days, Edward was finally able to return to his normal state of mind. He was able to concentrate more. He did not think of Ashara the whole time like the first few days after he met her. Though, that did not reduce any of his determination to marry Ashara. He just was able to think more rationally.
Edward met Ashara one time during those days. Although Ashara still tried to figure anything about Edward, she did not manage to do so. Edward was taking revenge on her for making him look like an idiot. Although it was his fault as he was the one who was so mesmerized by her beauty, He still blamed her for being so beautiful that he was not able to resist.
Edward wanted to know more about Ashara, her personality, and her everything. So Edward spent his time with her talking about small things while she was literally dying with anger. Edward did not satisfy any of her answers. He only answered the irrelevant questions and asked her about the small things.
Ashara left after that in anger while threatening him if he did not come, she would chop his little brother down there. She also warned him that Lord Baratheon was no easy opponent, and if they fought, Ed was going to lose. So she advised Ed to try and use his words and not his sword.
Edward found it funny. She was warning him against himself. Would not it be an excellent play if he could appear with two characters at the same time? Edward dismissed this thought and tried to think of a more creative way to make it funnier when he visited the Daynes.
At the moment, Edward was on his way to meet Arnold Dayne, Ashara's older brother(I gave this name to her unknown brother), formally. Edward was supposed to arrive on a vessel to Starfall. That's why he had taken a boat with his men and waited for their ship in the sea. That was his plan since he arrived at Starfall a week earlier.
Edward did not plan to meet Ashara this early on. He was enjoying his time while gathering some information about her. He had deemed her unsuitable, even before meeting her. It was just that their fateful encounter that made him fall in love with her.
After meeting the rest of his men on the ship and traveling to Starfall's port, Edward dressed himself nicely this time. He had been wearing ordinary clothes the whole week.
It was just that Edward was hiding his identity and did not want anyone to think he was a lord. Of course, he did not raise his sigil or rode any horse in the city.
Edward and his men were about to reach their destination. Edward did not bring his brother or his insistent mother. Cassana wanted to come personally to talk about the Engagement with House Dayne, but Edward refused. He had no intention to marry Ashara, so why he would take his mother.
Edward had brought ten men when he came a week ago, and with the other ninety that he met on the ship, he had one hundred men with him.
At the moment, They were marching in a disciplined formation while riding on horses. Edward was riding in the middle.
