------------------------------------------

After Allyria knew the truth and saw her sister getting ready to meet the man and using the perfume, she started teasing Ashara. She asked her if she would let the man have a part of her in the first meeting. Ashara was mad at Allyria. As Ashara would not do that unless she thought that he was the man she wanted.

Allyria helped her sister make an excuse and leave the castle. She told Ashara that Ashara owed her favor before letting her go.

Ashara signaled Edward to follow her to the last stand in the inn. She did not want anyone to recognize her. She was the sister of the lord, after all. Plus, everyone in Westeros knew about the famous Ashara Dayne, so How could the Smallfolks in Starfall not know her?

Edward gave her a small nod before following her to the last stand. The inn was not full by this time, so there were many empty stands in the inn.

When both of them sat down, Ashara revealed a part of her face. She wanted to talk to Edward, so it would be improper without taking off her veil.

"I see you are alright, Ed. I usually do not give people a second chance." Said Ashara trying to tease Edward with her smile. She was also waiting to meet him. She wanted to know at least if he was the heir of some lord. Her brother had told her that The Young Lord Baratheon was coming to Starfall the next weak to discuss some business. He wanted to introduce her to him, and if she could be his wife, Starfall would stand to gain a lot.

Ashara was annoyed. Usually, she would not care and would just do what her brother told her. But after meeting Edward, she was not able to take him out of her mind. So she thought if the man she met the day before was the heir of a house, she might be able to convince her brother to pass on lord Baratheon to her sister.

Ashara had heard a lot about lord Baratheon a lot in the previous year. Everyone in Westeros had already heard at least a piece of news about him. And although Dorne always had disputes with Stormsland, It had been calm since a century ago. But she was not like her sister. Although her sister was daring like her, Allyria did not mind getting herself into a political marriage. But she hated something like that. She wanted to search for a man she would love, although he would also be an heir to some lord.

"Enough of that, Aren't you going to tell me your name?" Asked Edward as he looked at her violet eyes. Edward was so mesmerized the last time he met Ashara and did not ask her about her name. That was a little rude of him. But since he saw her again, he wanted to know her name.

"Ash. You can call me Ash." Said Ashara as she looked at Edward. She did not want to tell him her name as many people heard about her. She wanted to know everything about Edward before telling him her full name.

"Ash..." Edward repeated her name multiple times before looking at her again. He did not know what to talk about as it was his first time to fall for a girl.

So, all Edward did was stare at her without saying anything. Ashara stayed silent for few minutes. She wanted to check on him this time as she did not have the time to do that the last time. After some minutes passed and Edward did not say a word, Ashara got annoyed a little. She decided to start the conversation.

"Stared enough." Said Ashara with some sarcasm in her voice. She wanted to break this state and made Edward talk instead of just staring at her. He could at least stare at her breasts a little instead of her eyes.

Edward did not say a word and just shook his head. He wanted to only stare at her eyes.

But Edward knew that he might annoy her, so he shifted his gaze a little to take a breath. He then turned back to Ashara and started to talk.

"So, Ash. You are not married, right?" Asked Edward. That was the most critical question in his mind. If she said yes, he was ready to kill the husband.

Ashara was surprised for a second. The first words that came from Edward's mouth were if she was married. They did not even know each other that well for him to ask this question.

After being surprised for a moment, Ashara decided to answer this question to test Edward. She wanted to see if Edward only wanted her for her beautiful face and if he treated her as a slut. After all, when noticing a beautiful woman walking on the streets without guards, everyone would likely think she was a Smallfolks. That would be the best guess if not a slut.

"I am not. But might be in a few days." Said Ashara with some mystery. She was referring to Lord Baratheon, who her brother wanted to introduce her to him. She wanted to see Edward's reaction after hearing such news. She wanted to know if he was serious enough to ask a woman, who he had just met, to marry him.

After hearing this news, Edward's face turned dark. He was ready to kill the man if it was required.

"Who is it?" Asked Edward with an angry voice. He would challenge the man to ask for Ash's hand. If he refused, Edward would send his men to kill the man. No one was going to take Ash from him. Edward was ready to really kidnap her at the moment.

Seeing that Edward was really furious, Ashara was pleased a little. At least Edward was serious a little about her and did not treat her like a whore. Now, it was the time to see if he would be scared if he knew that she was a daughter of a lord and she might marry a lord.
