Cinderella Crazy
I just want to live longer!

Ashley and Bellena were on their way home after taking their orders. Bellena was still trying to calm herself down after seeing her nona challenge someone whose name was very familiar to her ears.

'There will be no problems, everything will be fine. Mr. Ristoff will ignore Miss as usual.'

Inwardly, he tries to believe that something is very unlikely to happen.

"Lo know Marion tortured your employer?" Ashley asked who was not worried about Ristoff's identity in the least.

"Yeah. All the workers in the residence knew it too."

Instantly, Ashley's hand grabbed Bellena's neck sitting in front of her and pulled her closer.

"Why didn't you say? You want the cave tortured, huh?"

"No, Goddess! If it was you, I thought you'd be okay."

Ashley tightened her chuckle making Bellena's face start to burn.

"It doesn't mean you don't have to say, s*alan."

"M- af-amba-" Bellena tried to beg for mercy even though her voice was unclear due to the airflow in her throat being obstructed.

Ashley let go of her giggles, letting the girl breathe again. He coughed a few times, feeling his throat as if it was still choking.

"Gua would rather attack first than be attacked first, understand?"

Bellena nodded quickly to understand the mistake she had made. That's the mistake Bellena made. But for someone with a position as the chairman of a mafia organization, delaying such information can be very fatal.

"Now there's just the mistress of Stepmother, and it'll be happy ending."

Hearing Ashley's words, Bellena shuddered to feel something bad was about to happen. Not because Marion was about to be killed, but the way Ashley got rid of Marion might have led Bellena to end up on the execution table.

Spontaneous he defies Ashley to act rashly. Bellena asks if Ashley is 100% sure that her target is Marion, and of course not, Ashley even strongly doubts that Marion is the target of Ashelia's revenge.

But he didn't care, he just needed to try it, then silence the people home about it. His impatience did indeed make his decision taken a little rashly.

Bellena tries to scare Ashley by saying that it is likely that Marion has someone else supporting her from behind. It was possible that that person was one of the factions fighting their faction and intended to control the Ristoff family by sending Marion over.

Ashley predicted it, but she still wanted to do it. He assumes that he should interrogate Marion and make her confess before killing her. Ashley's used to this.

However, it is true that he will also be in danger if Marion turns out not to be the target. He has no connection with anyone working in the legal field to clean up his deeds.

Ashley thought, did he really have to fight all those people alone? They don't even know their abilities.

Although Ashley was able to fight some people alone, it was still a very dangerous reckless act in practice. He did not want to die silly just because he could not read his own limits.

Seeing the slight hesitation in Ashley's eyes, Bellena multiplied the reason. He said that Vincent was also very concerned about Marion, it could make Ashley discovered if he intended to kill Marion without careful planning.

Ashley never really noticed Vincent's every move. He was not aware of that fact. He thought for a moment about what would happen if he was caught killing his father's favorite woman.

Ashley's hair stood up, her face slightly paled. Ashley immediately turned her face away and undoed her intention to kill Marion inside the house.

It was not Vincent's actions that he imagined, but his papa's actions in the real world.

It doesn't matter if Marion is really the target. It is likely that only Bellena will bear the aftermath and Ashley returns to her world. But if it is wrong, then he must also bear it.

Silent. Only the sound of the car parts rubbing against each other could be heard. Not a word came out of the mouths of the two girls. Bellena then began to lower the tension within him. He was relieved to extend his life a little longer.

"Lo messing around with the cave?" Ashley said suddenly, making all of Bellena's muscles stiffen again.

He shook his head quickly.

"I don't mean to play you, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing!"

'I just want to live longer!' Shouts in the heart.

Ashley did not respond at all. It was as if he was ignoring the girl. Ashley knows exactly why Bellena said all that. Then somehow, the reasons given by Bellena were able to make Ashley become calmer.

He no longer felt rushed.

After her mind calmed down, Ashley became more rational in making decisions.

Previously, he became excited after getting a gun to end the life of Ashelia's stepmother. But now, the thing he had to do first was, ascertain whether Marion was right was the target of Ashelia.

They had to keep watching Marion. Find out who the connections are, and let him act to see what Marion's plan is.

At least 80%. Ashley decides whether to kill Marion or not.

...****************...

After arriving at their residence, Ashley and Bellena negotiate about the routine activities of Marion.

Marion loves to socialize. Although there were some who sneered at her because of her background and circumstances, Marion still liked to gather with many people.

Therefore, the connection is very much. It is not easy to distinguish whether they are just friends or political colleagues in carrying out their mission.

The next obstacle was that Marion had one personal servant, but that person also never talked about Marion to the other servants. Although only about 2 years of knowing Marion, she had become a very loyal servant to the woman. I don't know what made him so loyal, seeing Marion's behavior to Ashelia was no good.

On leaving the residence, Marion would be escorted by a knight, strangely enough, only one of the knights was always escorting Marion.

From the rumors that Bellena heard as well, the knight was one of Vincent's confidences that was given to Marion. Therefore, his ability need not be doubted.

Ashley thought for a moment. These three things are enough to prevent her from proving that Marion is a spy, but Ashley clearly suspects the three of them.

He felt he had to test them, and see how they responded. Just to see if they are hiding something.

The two of them stopped there, as someone knocked on Ashley's door.

"It's lunch time, miss." Said a woman from behind the door.

Ashley gets up from her seat, while carrying her new wand, Ashley and Bellena go to the dining room.

Just before entering the dining room, Ashley met a large-looking woman who had challenged him once. He bows his head and greets Ashley according to the standards set by his nona.

He just does not know, if the problems he thinks have been resolved will be lifted again.
