Demon Emperor's Rise: Becoming The Greatest Villain For My Daughter

"My star magic?" Ana was also confused, not understanding what Asher's goal was.

Ever since Ana came to this world and grew older, she became more cautious of her surroundings. She didn't know why she was like this, but she guessed it might be from her first father, Max. She came to understand that an assassin had to be cautious of everything, so she felt she got this perk from her first father.

"Yes, I bring no harm. I am just curious, and you might also like to know some stuff, right?" Asher stared right into Ana's eyes as if he could see through her.

Fortunately for Ana, Asher truly did. Ana really wanted to know many things, as she couldn't get much information by just staying at a small place.

And it wasn't like Asher knew Ana's deep secret. He had come to the understanding that people would likely have some sort of secret in their hearts that they wanted to know, so he just exploited that.

"Okay, I will follow you." Ana dropped her guard and decided to go with Asher.

A smile bloomed on Asher's face. He then signaled for them to follow him. "You two can come too, or you can also go separate ways."

Lily agreed with no sign of hesitation. "I will follow Ana."

This made Ana inwardly very happy. She looked at Lily and nodded her head, to which Lily also nodded back, bravely indicating that — I am with you.

However, on the other hand, Hueg refused. "You guys can go, I will go on my own."

Ana looked carefully and saw that Hueg's facial expression was not right; it felt to her that he was burying something deep inside him. But she didn't ask, as they were both still strangers.

A glint appeared in Asher's eyes, which he quickly retracted. 'Interesting, it looks like they are not a couple, but something is flaring up.'

Asher might look young, but he had his fair share of experience in life already. So, he was able to grasp something.

Hueg looked at Ana and Lily with a deadpan yet smiling face. "I will see you guys in the academy; till then, I hope you guys are fine."

"Will see you later." Lily gave a small wave of her hand at Hueg, while Ana just glanced at Hueg's leaving back.

Then they followed behind Asher to go to his carriage, but at that moment, they were stopped by Marley's voice. They turned their heads to the side and saw Marley standing with his back arched.

Marley closed his eyes and asked with a smile on his face. "Senior Asher, I am also in their group. So, can I tag along?"

Marley had seen Asher's power and was in awe, as he felt Asher was as strong as his father, who was a viscount. 'I can't let this chance slip. If I can somehow get on his side, my position to get my father's throne is guaranteed.'

Marley wasn't the only child that his father had, there were many. Among his brothers and sisters, there are some more talented than him, so he could only get the chance to fight for the throne.

"Oh, you are with their group." Asher made a surprised expression and then said it apologetically. "But I am sorry to say this. My carriage is already full, so you have to wait for the spare carriages to arrive and pick you up. I hope you understand."

Then, without giving Marley a chance to respond, Asher took Ana and Lily away. Marley just stood there in a complete daze and woke up hearing a small snicker coming from Ana and Lily.

'I will remember this.' Marley squeezed his hands in anger while vowing in his heart as madness flashed in his eyes.

On the other hand, Ana and Lily couldn't hold back their laughter after seeing Marley in such a situation, despite being tense earlier. Asher just smiled at their laughter, seemingly not caring much. But Ana and Lily quickly returned back to their normal composure.

A few minutes later, they arrived before Asher's carriage, which wasn't as fancy as they expected. His carriage was fully made of mahogany wood, except for the tires, which had a touch of metal in them.

Asher could see the surprised expression on Ana and Lily's faces, so he explained to them. "You see, I don't need a carriage most of the time, as with my powers I can reach the capital in less than a minute."

Ana and Lily came to an understanding; this also made Ana think to herself. 'From what I have seen of his fight earlier, I can assume he uses space magic, and this also further proves it. But I can't say it with a guarantee.'

Ana felt she was able to capture what Asher's power was, but she still wasn't sure, as speed is something that varies with power level and user ability. She was also not able to clearly see Asher's element.

After they sat inside the carriage, it started moving forward.

At that moment, Asher spoke with his arms crossed. "So, let's first start with our introductions. I already told mine earlier, may I know your ladies?"

"I am Ana Silveria, daughter of Arash Silveria and Vienna Silveria. I am from Migotanie City." Ana gave a short introduction of herself, and then it was Lily's turn. "I am Lily Tarakov, daughter of Fiarta Tarakov."

"Oh," Asher then said with a smile. "It is nice to meet you."

"Now, we should go down to business." Saying that Asher's face turned stern. Ana and Lily also felt the tense atmosphere.

Asher looked into Ana's eyes and said, like he was giving an order. "I want you to work under me. Be my right hand."

Ana was stupefied at such an invitation. She wasn't able to quite understand Asher, she thought Asher wanted to discuss about her power, and she would also get to know many things, but not in such a situation that she felt might change the course of her path.

Ana asked, squinting her eyes. "Why do you want me to work under you?"
