Gwendolyn Ashenfall

Upon hearing Oliver's trembling voice call out to her from within her comforting embrace, Gwen couldn't help but feel a sense of elation. It seemed that things were going exceptionally well for her.

She expected some reaction from Oliver since she knew he was a man, but still, she couldn't help but feel weird seeing Oliver, who had similar facial features to Victoria looking scared.

"I'm really sorry for not coming earlier, kid," Gwen said, as she looked at the people behind her. She hinted at them to guard the area to make sure nobody else entered the area.

Oliver's eyes betrayed his fear as he glanced at Gwen, but it didn't take long for his anxious expression to transform into genuine happiness upon meeting her as he found a bigger bird than Karen that he could possibly use. Being aware of Gwen's power beforehand, Oliver spared himself the need for any demonstration to gauge her capabilities.

"Did that woman do something to you? Let me see," Taking a towel from one of her followers, Gwen wiped all the blood on Oliver's face and took a closer look at him.

'Hold back! Hold back, Gwendolyn, it is not the time yet, I should use his power first, without scaring him'

Gwen thought as her eyes observed Oliver's chest and flaccid penis, which was wet with Karen's saliva. Seeing that a frown came to her face, but she quickly hid it without showing her real feelings.

"Quickly bring some water, he must be feeling disgusted by the saliva of that woman," She shouted annoyed and just like earlier her underlings quickly did what she asked and brought some water.

"Leave now, I will call for you when I finish talking with him," she commanded, her irritation evident in her voice. The underlings swiftly retreated, leaving her alone with the man who seemed to have won Lady Gwendolyn Ashenfall's attention.

With the room now empty, she took a deep breath, trying to compose herself before addressing the man standing before her. He seemed unperturbed by the situation, maintaining a calm demeanour.

"I heard what happened inside the castle," she began, her tone now more measured. "To think that woman suddenly disappeared, it's hard to believe,"

Oliver knew Lady Ashenfall and his mother had a past of rivalry as well as friendship that wasn't the greatest. He was amazed by her information-gathering ability despite being in this prison, and that alone showed him that Havoc Bay was something more than a prison for the empire.

"If you heard that much, then you should know why I'm here," Oliver said showing he was impressed by her ability which brought a smile to her face.

At the same time, she poured some water on Oliver's body and started to clean him like she was some kind of a maid, but deep inside she was dying with her lust going wild. Oliver, being the sole son in a household surrounded by amorous maids, two sisters, and an enchanting mother, could discern her true intentions all too clearly.

"Well, aren't we both the same? We are here under the charge of treason against the empire," She said with a smile and finished cleaning his body without looking at him too much because she knew that his body would cause her to act true to herself.

"..."

Oliver thought for a moment about the negative and positive of being with this woman. He knew so many things about her, but at the same time, she also knew too many things about him. He knew she was a high-risk, high gain if he decided to join her. But still, he wanted to wait and see because he felt something was missing.

"Oliver, what are you going to do now? You can't stay alone in this prison because there are a lot of things happening that won't be good for you," Gwen said like she was trying to say something without giving the context. "Why don't you join me? After all, both of us are the same,"

"I'm just a powerless man, Lady Ashenfall, I don't think I can help you with your goals," Oliver answered her to which she smiled like he said something hilarious.

"You, powerless, I don't know if you trying to act dumb or trying to be humble but-" She paused for a minute and touched Oliver's head. "You are the only man in this land that can use a resonance and the church believes that you're the reincarnation of the nameless giant,"

Oliver listened to her words like he was having a lifetime of secrets and potential revealed to him in an instant.

"Empress might have sent you here, but I'm pretty sure she must be getting ready to rescue you or hide you, after all you are not someone that should be in this prison, no matter how dangerous your crime is,"

"..."

Oliver listened to all her compliments without disturbing or questioning and then he decided to ask what he had been dying to ask.

"If all of this is true," Oliver began cautiously, "then what do you want with me, Lady Ashenfall?"

Gwen's expression softened, and she looked into Oliver's eyes with a determined yet compassionate gaze. "I want to help you, Oliver. You may see yourself as a powerless man, but I see great potential in you. The empire needs strong individuals like you, and I need a strong individual like you,"

She leaned closer, lowering her voice to a whisper, "The truth is, I aim to overthrow the current royal family. The family that threw you in here, If you join me, I will make sure to search about Victoria and we can deal with your sister."

He was surprised to see her knowing more than she should and couldn't help but be impressed with her ability to find information.

"Lady Ashenfall, I know you're a powerful woman, but can you really overthrow a whole empire despite being in prison?" Oliver's fearful and confused look suddenly disappeared, which confused Gwen but she knew his concerns were not foolish, so she ignored the changes.

But before she could answer his question, one of her underlings suddenly knocked on the door aggressively showing something was wrong and Gwen suddenly looked at the door with an annoying look.

"It looks like I have run out of time, I will meet you again, Oliver, think about my request until then," She suddenly turned around leaving the towel on Oliver's body, which helped him to cover himself. "And believe me when I say I can overthrow an empire, I have the power to do that, after all, I only lost to your mother in both wits and power,"

Gwen strode purposefully towards the door, her blond hair covering her back and Oliver noticed how erotic and attractive she was despite being in this prison. She had a perfect figure with an amorous ass which swayed left and right every time she took a step, but most of all her curvy figure caught Oliver's interest as she was one of the most beautiful women he had seen.

*Tsk

"What a shame! If she wasn't a huge sadistic woman that liked to dominate men and make them slaves, she would look even more beautiful," Oliver muttered to himself, as he was reminded of the real behaviour of Lady Gwendolyn Ashenfall, who had a reputation among the men as someone they shouldn't get close to.
