Chapter 246 Lathel overthinking
“This…” Lathel hesitated; he really didn’t want to compete with the male lead’s event, but… he also couldn’t see another person dying and not try to save them.
Lathel truly respected Bourban, and he felt that Count Bourban was a true man.
However, he also didn’t want to get into too much trouble.
Lathel frowned, then ordered: “Akna, call Rolen here.”
“Yes…” Akna nodded and left.
A moment later, Akna came carrying Rolen.
Rolen happily walked up to Lathel, smiled, and said: “Young master, hehehe…”
Lathel: “…”
‘It seems this girl has truly considered herself my servant.’
He felt that if Alec found out about this, he would definitely peel off his skin and use it as a floor mat.
“Rolen, you only work here as a part-time worker. You should remember, your master is Alec.”
Hearing Lathel’s words, Rolen was startled; her eyes became wet, and she shouted: “Ah! Young master, do you want to chase me away?”
“Ack! No, what I mean is…”
“Hehehe… that’s fine. Here, I can eat a lot of things I’ve never eaten before.” Rolen smiled and said: “I can even eat freely; no one competes with me.”
Seeing Rolen happy, he didn’t want to say anything more.
Lathel sighed and said: “Okay, I have a mission for you. Rolen, go find Alec, and give him this letter.”
“Duke Lathel.” Straghor suddenly spoke: “This… this is not very good.”
“No problem.” Lathel clasped her hands and stopped Straghor’s words: “I know what to do. I assure you, Alec will successfully treat Earl Bourban’s daughter.”
“If he fails, I will let my teacher, Fifth Elder Lilith, save her, okay?”
Hearing that, Straghor frowned and thought. Very quickly, he decided to nod and agree with Lathel’s way of doing things.
“Good!” Lathel gave Rolen the letter of introduction that Straghor once gave him: “Give this letter to Alec; he will know what to do.”
“If he asks where you got this letter from, tell him that you stole it from the Adventurer Quest Centre.”
“If he asks what’s inside, just say you don’t know and that you’ve never seen it.”
“If Alec doesn’t ask, then keep quiet. Understand?”
“Ah! I… I understand.” Rolen was startled and stared at Lathel.
He continued: “Ah! Before you leave, change into another outfit; don’t let Alec know you’re working as a servant here.”
“If he asks where you’ve been lately, you’ll say you were on a mission to upgrade his Adventurer ID card.”
“I will give you a few gold coins as proof. If he asks for proof, take them out and give them to him, understand?”
“I… I understand.” Rolen stammered in response.
“Good! Akna, take her to change into another set of clothes; use her old clothes or another cheap outfit; don’t let Alec get suspicious.” Lathel looked towards Akna and said.
Akna bowed her head and replied: “Yes, Young Master.”
After Akna left with Rolen, Straghor did not want to stay here for long. He looked towards Lathel, smiled, and said: “Duke Lathel, if you need any information, please contact me; I will definitely not disappoint you.”
“Ah! Even the mysteries in the Royal Family?” Lathel smiled and asked.
“Hm… That’s okay, but it takes a lot of effort, and besides… even if you know about it, don’t spread it outside, as there will be a lot of trouble coming your way.”
Lathel: “…”
‘Oy! I was just joking. Do you have to be so serious?’
‘Wait! Do you really know the secrets of the Royal Family?’
Lathel had to look at Straghor differently. It seemed that Straghor was not just an ordinary Enchanter Tower gatekeeper; he was also an extremely excellent intelligence agent.
“Okay, if I need you, I will come to you.”
“Duke Lathel, about Captain Laura…” Straghor suddenly continued: “I really hope you and her will become a couple.”
“Hm?! Why?” Lathel asked confusedly.
“Duke Lathel, I can’t say too much, but Captain Laura’s status is not normal. With her by your side, no one in this empire—no, this continent—will dare cause trouble with you.”
Lathel heard Straghor speak and immediately frowned. However, Straghor did not explain much, as he immediately left.
…
In the hallway, Akna glanced at Rolen and asked: “Do you seem to find something confusing?” 𝘪𝘦.𝘤𝑜
Rolen scratched her head, then nodded: “Uhm! I feel… it seems like Young Master gave the mission a bit… No, too carefully.”
“Didn’t your master do the same?” Akna frowned and asked.
Rolen shook his head: “He only gives orders, the rest I can only handle myself.”
“Oh!” Akna seemed to realise something and continued to ask: “Do you feel happy and comfortable here?”
“Of course!” Rolen immediately replied: “In this place, I feel super happy and super comfortable.”
“The food is delicious, the mattress is also very soft, and also… no one competes with me.”
“The salary is also very high. 500 gold coins a month, huhuhu… Even if I work all year and try to save and steal from others, it still won’t be enough for 500 gold coins.”
Looking at Rolen laughing and crying like a child, Akna also felt that she was a bit pitiful.
“Don’t worry…” Akna comforted: “As long as you are loyal to the Young Master, you will never suffer.”
“Uhm! I will try my best to carry out the mission for Young Master.”
“Remember what Young Master told you, understand?”
“Of course! I’m not stupid; I’m very smart.”
Akna: “…”
…
Returning to Lathel, he sat on the sofa and thought about many things. He also didn’t see Lilith. If she were here, she would probably appear next to him.
Lathel pondered what he should do today.
“Ah! I don’t have anything to do today, maybe I should go to the library.” Lathel muttered.
In fact, the last time he set foot in the library, he was interrupted by Alec and Malina. This time, he wanted to go to the library in this world to learn more about the talents he possessed.
Besides, he wanted to find out a little information about the vampire’s curse.
Suddenly, Lathel thought about what Straghor said: ‘Strange, what he means is…Laura’s identity as Chief of the Security Team is fake, is she…really many times more influential than that?’
‘With her protection, no one on this entire continent will dare cause trouble with me. It sounds like Laura is the boss villain.’
‘Wait! That means my guess is correct. Maybe Laura really is a villain.’
‘No OK! That means I need to stay away from her; otherwise, I will also turn from a normal supporting character into a villain.’
“When will Akna come back?” Lathel wondered.
“Yes.”
“AAA!!” Lathel was startled and shouted: “Why are you here?”
“Because you called me.”
“What I mean is… I thought you just went out.”
“If Young Master needs me, I will appear immediately.”
Lathel: “…”
At this moment, he did not feel safe at all. And he could be sure that one of the three lipstick stains on his chest belonged to Akna.
Lathel shook his head, not wanting to think any more. He frowned and said: “From now on, Captain Laura is not allowed to enter our castle.”
“Sorry, I can’t do that.”
“Why?”
“Because she is the captain of the security team. If you oppose her, she will cause trouble for Master Ryne’s business.”
Lathel frowned when he heard that. He didn’t want to bother Ryne. Finally, he sighed and said: “Okay, then leave her alone. Anyway, I don’t believe that Captain Laura has enough free time to come see me every day.”
“Ah! Where is Lilith? I haven’t seen her since this morning.”
As soon as Lathel finished speaking, he felt Akna’s gaze on his chest.
“Cough!” Lathel pretended to cough. He frowned and asked: “Oy! Did you hear what I asked?”
“Ah! In the morning, I saw her hastily leave your room, then disappear. She also didn’t tell me anything, so I don’t know where she is.” Akna said, a little startled.
Lathel glanced at Akna, who seemed to be able to connect the information he knew and guess what happened.
“Ah! There is very interesting information in the newspaper today, young master. Do you want to see it?”
Hearing Akna’s question, he felt a little curious: “Uhm!”
Akna gave him a newspaper, and on the first page was an extremely large headline: “Using 1,000,000 gold coins to buy a prostitute’s first night, stupid or too rich?”
“Hm… 1,000,000 gold coins… Akna, is this a lot of money?” Lathel asked confusedly.
Akna shook her head: “No, Young Master. It’s only a small amount of money, but it is a huge amount to buy a prostitute’s first night.”
“Normally, the price ranges from 10,000 to a maximum of 70,000 gold coins.”
“Heh?! How do you know this?” Lathel looked at Akna and asked.
Akna smiled: “Because I need to know more information to serve Young Master.”
Lathel: “…”
He continued reading this article. After a while, he opened his eyes wide as he saw Alec’s picture in the newspaper: “What the hell is that? Alec?!”
Lathel was filled with disbelief. A male protagonist went into a brothel to buy a prostitute’s first night.
He even used a price 10 times higher than normal to buy her first night.
Is this world crazy, or am I too backward?
‘Wait!’ Lathel suddenly thought of a common plot in novels: ‘Perhaps… the prostitute that Alec bought the first night was definitely not an ordinary woman.’
‘That’s right, how could the male lead be so miserable that he would sleep with a prostitute? Surely that girl is no ordinary girl.’
‘After buying her first night, he would discover that the girl was a princess or someone of high status.’
‘What would happen next was… hm… that girl would admire Alec’s talent and dignity and become his woman.’ 𝘪.𝘤𝑜𝘮
‘Of course, she also possesses some kind of special ability that can help Alec and make his future path brighter.’
Lathel sighed at this moment, feeling a little jealous: ‘The male protagonist always meets good women wherever he goes, and I… am surrounded by strange women; when will I have a harem?’
