A New Enemy
THE NIGHT OF ASTY AND CHAOL'S DEPARTURE
As soon as their carriage had left the palace grounds, King Vaughn immediately summoned the Captain of the Guards, Victor Ironfield. The King's mind was in complete disarray, he was incredibly shaken by Chaol's waggery. Though he hid how his knees shook under his robes, he was sure that the balls of sweat forming under her crown was evident throughout his conversation with the count.
"Your Majesty," the captain croaked from behind him. "What do we do now? We are losing them."
He gritted his teeth bitterly. 'Lose them? Am I really going to lose them?' he thought.
"I can still send my guards to follow them. Please give me your orders, Your Majesty!"

Asty walked along the lonely corridors of Chaol's premises. It was daytime and yet everything around her seemed so quiet and passive.Daytime in her village was like chaos. Everybody would wake up to the sound of people yelling and animals moaning. If she were to walk along with the farms and square, her ears would be bombarded by the sound of carts and fishermen yelling at the passersby to buy their goods.She was not used to such a quiet environment. No yelling. No children laughing. No whispers about her. Just plain silence and the chirping of birds.Asty continued to drag her feet. She was alone. Chaol had excused himself that he was going to rest and had only accompanied her for breakfast. The maid earlier too, excused herself that she was going to sleep.

"What do you mean by that?"He loosened his grip from her and allowed her to breathe. Asty took a step backward, her eyes still locked on to the male. "I don't understand.""Your blood," he bellowed. "is special to me."Asty lowered her head and looked at her arms. "This blood... running in my veins, is it the reason why you bought me?"Chaol smiled. "I only need a little portion of it—"

It has been half an hour since Asty had stayed hidden behind these huge pots, pretending to be unseen amongst the darkness.She could see her clearly from behind her as she was washing the dishes at the sink. Asty's terrible attempt at hiding was clearly reflected upon the maid's glass plate. She heaved a sigh and continued to ignore Asty, playing along with her tactics.Asty remained hidden, intently looking at the maid with curious, gleaming eyes. "I want to be friends with her!" she mumbles under her breath.The maid turned around and pretended not to see her while placing the finished plates inside the cupboards.

Chaol stole glances at Asty who was observing the movement of the flame in the fireplace. The young woman's eyes were locked upon the ashy trace as she brought some biscuits inside her mouth.Vanilla-flavored confectionery cookies. These are the same snacks the King had offered them before they had left the Palace. He was reminded carefully to give the can of cookies to Asty so that she could eat them.The King also had this scowl on his face when he told him not to dare take a single piece of it. He was cruel. He remembered his words clearly:"Give this to her and only her alone. You are not to take a bite of a single piece. I expect her feedback during her visit to the Palace."Asty noticed the Count staring at her as she bit the cookies
