Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

---- Chapter 2282 Aspen looked like a fiery red sprite weaving through the crowd. The Grand Hall had five floors total, with the first and second floors packed with various VIP guests carrying wine glasses and chatting with their elegant female companions. When Aspen appeared alone in the first-floor lobby, someone on the second floor immediately noticed her, his eyes lighting up. "Kyrie, that woman is absolutely stunning! She's such an eye- catcher." Kyrie's subordinate, Noah, was the first to be smitten, licking his lips as he spoke.

Kyrie was putting on airs while chatting with a foreigner, speaking broken Westral with the same few phrases over and over. "Oh, yes! Very good! Wonderful!" When he heard Noah's comment, he immediately smiled and excused himself from the foreigner in front of him. Then, his gaze looked downstairs, and he immediately spotted Aspen. "Who's that lady? She doesn't seem like she's from Chetvine," Kyrie said, stroking the short stubble on his chin as excitement rushed through him. When Aspen came upstairs, his heart burned even hotter.

She ---- was a knockout, an absolute knockout, and she did not even have a man beside her. If he did not make a move, it would be a crime against nature. So, Kyrie handed his wine glass to Noah, straightened his military uniform, and put on a gentlemanly demeanor as he approached with a smile. "Hello, miss. Are you perhaps lost? Perhaps I, as a general, could be of some service to you." Aspen looked at him with an expression of shy surprise. "Oh, | wouldn't dare trouble you, General.

I'm just looking for the restroom." Her timid look and darting eyes nearly made Kyrie lose control 'on the spot. He had been obsessed with Luna and still wanted to get close to Isabelle of the Robertson family to secure a powerful alliance. However, the moment he saw Aspen, Luna completely faded from his mind. Tonight was looking promising. Heart pounding, Kyrie stretched out his hand. "May | ask your name, miss? The restrooms here are a little hidden, so allow me to escort you personally." Aspen hesitated, then extended her delicate hand. "Well... alright.

But wouldn't | be wasting your time, General?" "Not at all, not one bit," Kyrie said immediately. "To serve a ---- beauty like you is my greatest honor." Since she had not rejected him, Kyrie's heart nearly exploded with joy. He thought she was basically saying yes to him. He was even impressed with himself, landing such a natural-born beauty with one move. He stole a glance at Aspen's long, elegant back, and his mind began to wander. Tonight, he would make sure to enjoy certain parts of her, and the thought made him grin.

Just like that, Aspen followed Kyrie's lead to a secluded restroom in the second-floor corridor. He even specifically turned back to warn his subordinates not to follow them. His several subordinates all showed knowing smirks, understanding exactly what he was planning to do. At the restroom door, Aspen bit her lip. "This is far enough, General. Thank you for walking me, but you should go back to your guests." Kyrie smiled and stepped forward, reaching out to wrap his arm around Aspen's waist. "No rush.

What | want to do right now is spend some time with you, beautiful." Aspen giggled and twisted away with ease, dodging his hand." General, this is still a public place. You really shouldn't behave like this here."
