Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 2345

Alfredo was Holtrien's Sword Saint, ranked third on the Titan List. With nothing but himself and his blade, he was powerful enough to single-handedly guard the border.

That was not even all. Ten years ago, Alfredo, wielding his deadly sword, had publicly announced to the world that his martial arts had reached the third stage of martial emperor.

And in these past ten years, who knew if Alfredo had reached the fourth stage, or even maxed out at the fifth stage of martial emperor.

For Sheena to have even a 10% chance against him was already incredibly fortunate.

"Does Patriarch Donovan also approve of you challenging Alfredo?" Andrew asked again.

Sheena was considered the future of the Lloyd family royal line, and to a certain extent, her importance was no less than Andrew's.

Donovan was the current head of the Lloyds, and Andrew could not imagine him allowing Sheena to face Alfredo.

Alfredo was notorious for his pride. If she angered him and he crippled her beyond healing, it would be a disaster.

Sheena replied, "Grandpa initially didn't recommend I do this. But you know me… Once I've made up my mind, no one can control me. My battle with Alfredo is inevitable."

Andrew nodded. "Alright then. When you go to Swordhaven Keep, I'll go with you."

Sheena turned to look at him. "Don't. Swordhaven Keep is a death trap for you."

Andrew smiled. "It's not that bad! First, I have no grudge with Swordhaven Keep. Second, I'm just there to back you up. What's there to be afraid of?"

Sheena casually dropped a bombshell. "Alfredo's first wife died many years ago during a sword duel with someone. For the next 30 years, he never looked for anyone else. Just when everyone thought this sword genius would remain alone forever, a beautiful woman appeared. He loved this woman even more than his first wife. He even built a stargazing tower for her at Swordhaven Keep."

Natasha also perked up her ears, waiting for the answer.

They had only heard Reginald's thunderous reputation but had never seen him.

Sheena chuckled and deliberately dragged it out. "You want to know about your future father-in-law's past, huh? Alright, I'm in a good mood today, so I'll tell you a few things.

"In Chetvine, they say there are the Ten Great Beauties, the Ten Great Ladies, the Ten Great Temptresses… You name it. Gorgeous, talented women from the best families, and plenty of them."

She continued, "Just among the noble ladies from the five great clans, there were at least 20 who got tangled up with Uncle Reginald. And outside Chetvine, across Holtrien? Easily 100 women he once charmed, and every one of them fell head over heels for him."

Natasha's eyes widened in disbelief. "T-That can't be possible. He's supposed to be the core of the Lloyd royal family. And he raised a son like Andrew, so how could he… how could he…"
