Ashton Harbor

"Finally, they are coming," said the man with the staff, with joy all over his face.

He had just got the confirmation. They are sending the ships, filled with the hordes of undead and powerhouse.Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com

Their numbers are big, enough for not only sweeping the three cities but also the entire region.

"The wait is nearly over," said the armored man.

In a few weeks, when the time is right. They will send the horde; it shouldn't take more than a month.

If it had been six months ago. It would have been a lot quicker, but the imperial bitch had galvanized the imperial navy.

It isn't as strong as when the emperor was alive, but still strong enough to create trouble.

There are also the bastards merchants. Their navy had heightened their presence.

Those bastards aren't weak; they had defeated the imperial armada of Harsoth, so badly that they weren't able to recover fully, even after a decade.

So, we will need to be very careful.

I am still angry at higher-ups. They should have let me attack with the force we have here already; at least Greltheaven.

If they had. We would have the legacy in our control and all the

I had every detail about it, including the guess of essence it could produce each month and the value of the plants.

I think it's the reason why, they are finally sending the hordes. If they capture, the Grelheaven; they will have the biggest legacy by size under their control.

We have legacies on the island higher in grade, but smaller in size, than the velvet garden.

Eva

"So, you are really staying?" asked Cara, and I smiled at my girl.

She already knew the answer.

It had been ten days since the opening, and we were still here.

I will be here, but she is leaving.

"I will miss, you, Mom," she said and hugged me. "Me too, sweet child," I said and hugged her back with tears dripping from my eyes.

I am going to miss her, a lot.

It is the first time; I will be staying away from my children for a long time.

I didn't like it, but I need to. It was a chance; I had been waiting for all my life.

"You are going to ask him today?" she asked, and I nodded.

"Will he agree?" he asked.

"I don't know," I replied. "There is also a question of whether he will be able to do it or not," I added, to that she nodded.

Every legacy is different and has different rules. He might want to give me the mist, but will he be able to?

The beauticians, the chefs, and the girls could use the mist, but they were part of the establishment when it became the legacy.

A jeweler was not.

Even if it didn't happen. I don't plan to return. Since I came here, my mind is bubbling with inspiration. It had been a long time since I had been inspired as such.

She turned to the store and sighed.

It is full. It's always full, even at midnight. Most of them were men at that time, unlike now when most patrons are women.

More than half of our patrons are from the merchant state, but there are some coming from Inam and other close cities of the empire.

Many had come specifically to shop at the store.

There are also more men than there are at the store like these.

90% of the things we sell are for the ladies. We would have sold more for the men, but the designs aren't good enough.

It needs to be good enough, before we bring it to the store, especially now.

I am searching for them and even trying to poach some designers from the other boutiques.

I could see the look in the eye of customers; the same look when they see the prominent boutique stores.

I wanted it. I craved for it. I had failed, but now I had succeeded.

I reached the elevator that led to the top floor. There were guards there, but they didn't stop me.

The elevator is only for Silver and important people like Carla and others.

Ting!

The door opened, and I stepped out, before walking toward the office.

Silver only stays two days a week in the legacy. The other five days, she stays in the manor with his siblings. Today is one of two days.

I reached his office and turned toward the tiny but luxurious waiting room. As there are still ten minutes to the meeting.

In the legacy, everything is a pure luxury, but the waiting room is clearly something.

Miss Rolgath had done a wonderful job. Cara is in talks with her for renovation for our stores. We have an interior designer, but Miss Rolgath is better.

"Miss Eva, you can go in," said the secretary, surprising me. There are still over ten minutes before the appointment.

Click!

I nodded and walked toward the office, before stepping inside as guards opened the door.

"Lord Silver," I greeted, the young man sitting behind the table.

I also nodded at Margaux and Ina, sitting there.

"Eva," he said and offered me a seat.

"What can I do for you, Eva?" I asked, with a faint smile hanging on his face.

It made him look quite handsome. I couldn't help but feel attracted to it.

He is younger than my children by a good decade and I shouldn't feel attracted to him. I never get attracted to the younger men, but I do toward him,

I have been since that incident on the island.

I quickly pushed away thoughts and cleared my mind. It's very important; I can not let myself be distracted by useless thoughts.

"I was hoping. If you could give me access to the mist?" I asked.

There was no change on his face, not even a surprise, as if he expected it.

"I want to work on jewelry; the mist will help a lot with the new ideas, I have in my mind," I added after a moment of pause, but there was no change in his expression.

"The emotion essence is valuable Eva. I am giving so much to the plants. To a lot of people, that there barely remained anything for me," he said.

I felt relieved. It's not an outright rejection, nor did he say, he couldn't.

Now, I have to make him an offer, he can't reject. Thankfully, I have prepared for it and it's quite good.

"I know, but I will make it worth it. I am quite good at what I do. I am one of the best in the whole of Namdar. Most importantly, you'll get half of every piece sold," I said, looking.

There was no change in his face. I opened my mouth to put up the offer.

It is not something I want to do, but I need the mist. I am willing to suffer the loss if needed to be.

I was about to speak when a smile appeared on his face.

"I can give you the mist, but with conditions," he said. I just nodded and waited for him to lay them all out.

I hope they are not beyond, what I could give.

"First, every piece, that you make will be sold in the store in the tower. Second, every piece will need to pass through us before being sold,"

"Third..."

He laid out seven conditions. The way he laid them out; it's clear, he had already thought about them.

"I agree," I agreed after a few seconds of silence.

Some of them are tough, like every piece passing through his eyes before being sold, but they are not as harsh as I am willing to go.

"Good. Give me your hand," he said, and I did.

My body shuddered as his hand touched mine. It took all my will to keep my face straight.

"Done, now you will be able to control the mist," he said, releasing my hand.

It took me a moment for me to control myself before I bowed.

"Thank you, Lord Silver," I said with joy.

"You can call me Remus when we are alone, Eva," he said, and my heart fluttered.

"Thank you, Remus," I said.
