236 Level 30 (1)

A couple of hours later, Jonathan and his army finally headed back towards Deja. Staying there any longer was pointless as neither Jonathan nor Ashton had anything else to say to each other.

However, despite showing his strong stance and not allowing Ashton to take Mera's clone in for interrogation, Jonathan had made it clear that no matter how strong Ashton was, in the end, he had to heed his command. 

Well, at least that's what he thought. But Ashton only gave up on interrogating Mera's clone when Astaroth informed him that interrogating the clone would prove useless. Since the clone would think of herself as the actual person and would not accept that she was a clone. 

In the end, interrogating her would prove to be a waste of time. On the other hand, giving her up would mend whatever little bit of fracture his words might have caused between Jonathan and his relationship.
