Ashley fixed her gaze on him, her lips curling into a smile that held no warmth. “You’re entertaining guests. I wouldn’t want to intrude.”

Oliver replied coolly. “It’s no trouble. In fact, you know them all.”

Her fingers clenched into fists, knuckles turning white. Of course, she knew who was inside.

Slowly, she turned away. “I have matters to attend to. I won’t be staying.”

Oliver watched her retreating figure, a smirk playing at his lips before he turned back inside.

Silence filled the hall.

Ashley. Of course, they all knew who she was.

Deangelo, seeing Oliver return alone, raised a brow. “Didn’t you say Ashley was here?”

“I had hoped to introduce her to you all, but for some reason, she refuses to meet with guests today,” Oliver said with a faint note of apology.

Deangelo inwardly scoffed, though his face betrayed nothing.

One of the generals finally spoke up, “Forgive my boldness, but were those letters submitted to the King by Ashley herself?”

Oliver’s gaze turned sharp as he leveled it at the man. “Watch your words. The King has chosen not to pursue the matter. Why do you keep bringing it up? It doesn’t matter who handed the letters to the King. What matters is that it happened. You’ve all confessed, and the King has already issued his punishment. Since the matter hasn’t been made public, keep your mouth shut.”

The general stiffened. “Yes. I misspoke.”

Their visit today had been for a private discussion. While the King had decreed that their sons and nephews be conscripted into the army as punishment, the severity of the sentence seemed surprisingly mild. They couldn’t tell whether Oliver had risked his life to plead for them or if there was another reason behind the King’s leniency. Today, they had come to probe for answers.

But the fact that Ashley had been outside, clearly within earshot, yet had deliberately chosen not to enter, raised questions.
