Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) Chapter 3376

Shiloh asked quietly, “How did you two end up together?”

Nyx replied coolly, “He pursued me. In the end, he wouldn’t leave me alone, so I agreed.”

Shiloh didn’t quite believe that, but she said calmly, “If you didn’t like him, then why stay by his side and risk your life with him? If I were you, I would have turned around and gone back to the Outlands.”

Nyx let out a sharp laugh. “That’s why you’re not me. You have no idea what I’m thinking. But I know exactly what you’re thinking. Don’t think that just because you had his child, you’re special.”

She added coolly, “Later on, I can give him one too.”

Shiloh’s smile turned cold. “Can you guarantee you’d give him a son, though? The Lloyd royal family isn’t some ordinary household. A son is the one who stands to carry everything forward.”

Nyx shot back without missing a beat. “That’s pretty outdated thinking, don’t you think? Who says it has to be a son? Sheena Lloyd is a woman, and she’s about to take over as head of the family. So don’t tell me a daughter can’t hold her own.”

Shiloh gave a slight shrug. “Maybe where you come from, men and women are treated the same. But in Holtrien, it’s different.”

“Having a son carries more weight, and that’s just the reality. Old-fashioned? Maybe. But it’s still true.”

Nyx refused to back down. “Fine. If one child isn’t enough, I’ll have three or four. If it really comes down to it, I’ll have ten. That should cover it.”

Shiloh went completely silent.

Nyx’s face flushed the moment the words left her mouth, realizing she had taken things a little too far.

A brief silence settled between them as they both stared down at the enemy camp below, still and dark in the distance.

Then Nyx exhaled softly.

“Look. I’m sorry.”

“I shouldn’t be picking a fight with you. We’re standing here side by side, about to go into battle together, and here I am starting drama.”

She glanced at Shiloh.

“You raised Remyn on your own from the beginning, Shiloh. I genuinely respect that. And Remyn is a sweetheart. I already love that kid.”

Shiloh hadn’t expected the sudden shift. For a moment, she simply let the words sink in.

Then a small, genuine smile crossed her face.

“I’m not usually the type to let people in easily,” she admitted. “But the fact that you love Remyn is enough for me.”

“I’m done competing with you.”

They looked at each other, a quiet sense of mutual respect forming between them.

Then both of them blushed and turned away at the same time.

Nyx cleared her throat.

“For the record, Andrew didn’t chase me down. I liked him too. I just didn’t want to admit it back then.”

Shiloh smiled.

“I know.”

They shared another knowing smile.

At that moment, Andrew began issuing orders.

“All of you, wait for my signal.”

With that, he shot down the hillside at incredible speed. His movement became almost impossible to track with the naked eye.

Like a gust of wind, he vanished into the darkness.

The Cavendish family’s fighters stared after him, genuinely stunned. They traded wide-eyed looks with one another before turning to Nyx and Shiloh for some kind of explanation.

Nyx spoke calmly.

“Relax. If Andrew says he’ll do it, he will.”

Andrew covered more than a hundred yards in less than a second.

Near the allied camp stood towering watchtowers, manned around the clock. The mounted floodlights were paired with heavy firepower capable of shredding anyone who approached.

At that moment, one of the three watchtowers’ searchlights flickered and paused briefly.

Then it resumed as if nothing had happened.

In that split second, the soldier inside had already been killed by Andrew with a single strike.

Moments later, the guards in the second and third watchtowers had their necks snapped as well.

However, Andrew did not shut off the floodlights.

Instead, he took control of one and flashed it three times toward the hillside.

That was the signal for a full assault.

Nyx and Shiloh charged forward first.

The fifty Cavendish elites followed behind them in a surge of excitement.

With no one left in the towers, the lights still shone brightly, creating the illusion that everything was normal.

In reality, the guards were already dead.

So Nyx and the others advanced boldly under the bright beams, closing in on the camp.

Before long, they began setting fires, killing guards, and destroying structures and key supplies.

The chaos they created was massive.

Only then did the blaring alarm erupt.

Red lights flashed, and the siren wailed like a ghostly scream across the entire allied camp.

In the central command room, Azrael jolted awake instantly.

He yanked open the curtains and saw explosions and flames tearing through the camp outside.

Fury ignited in his eyes.

“How dare they! They’re asking for death!”

“All units, assemble immediately and counterattack!”
