Evan panted as he looked around him. Multiple people, including a big, muscled man, lie on the ground as they groan in pain. The other men who watched ran away, fearing losing their life.
Evan swung his sword with blood before he sheathed it back and started walking away.
As he walked towards the inn, Evan recalled what Gilbert had reported.
Ashley Harriston is the illegitimate daughter of Count Percival Harriston. Her mother's name is Dorothea, a lowly maid who worked at the Harriston mansion and was assaulted by the Count, resulting in Ashley's birth. Upon knowing it, Countess Reeva exiled the mother from the estate. Her mother then gave birth to her in Port Town and worked at a pub. Ashley and her mother lived here until ten years ago when her mother died of the disease.
