Lilith saw the look Claire had in her eyes and the way she held the medicine box that Lathel had given her, and realized that something was wrong.
Lilith smiled and said: “You have very good talent, but you are not well-trained, so you can only stop here.”
“If you want, I can help you become stronger. At least…”
She glanced towards Malina, then looked back at Claire and continued speaking: “At least… you can protect her.”
Hearing that, Claire bowed her head and said: “But… I…”
“Ah! Don’t worry, I won’t charge you money, but…” Lilith smiled, then lowered her head and whispered into Claire’s ear.
Akna, who was standing nearby, didn’t know what Lilith said, but Claire’s face turned red, and her expression was extremely embarrassed.
Even so, Claire still nodded, pursed her lips, and said: “I… I understand. I accept.”
“Hehehehe… don’t worry, I won’t force you.” Lilith smiled and patted Claire’s shoulder.
“No.” Claire shook her head: “I really want to become stronger, besides… I… I also…”
“Alright! You don’t need to speak.” Lilith stood up and said, “You should worry about your wound first, I will treat Malina.”
Lilith approached Malina and examined her body, which seemed to have been run over by a carriage. Lilith smiled and said: “Hope you can cherish this second life.”
…
Outside, after Lathel left the room, he did not return to the bedroom but immediately went outside.
A maid approached him and asked: “Young Master, do you want to go out?”
Lathel nodded and hurriedly said: “Prepare the carriage, I want to go to Enchanter Tower.”
“Yes, young master.”
Immediately after that, Lathel quickly headed to the Enchanter Tower. After all, at night, there were very few people outside, so the drake could easily move faster.
Inside the medical room, Alec was comfortably enjoying his sleep when a terrible sound rang out.
BAM!
The door to the medical room was opened violently. Lathel came in. Alec saw him and immediately wanted to scream.
However, Lathel’s voice interrupted his words: “Silence!”
Alec: “…”
He opened his mouth to look at Lathel. This was the first time he had seen Lathel so serious.
Combined with the noble robe, Lathel’s aura at this moment made him a little scared.
Lathel now carried an extremely serious, angry aura, like a king looking down at a beggar.
Alec could only tremble and stammer as he looked at Lathel: “You… you… what do you want?” I am warning you, this is the Enchanter Tower, you cannot kill me.”
“I… you and I… both have a peace contract.”
“I said… shut up!” Lathel said,?coldly.
Alec was really quiet, he wanted to leave this place immediately because Lathel was really scaring him.
“I will ask questions, you will answer me, understand?” Lathel continued.
Alec nodded instinctively.
“Good! Why didn’t you save Malina?
Hearing that, Alec was startled. He frowned and replied: “Because… I… I don’t have money. Besides, she’s been abandoned by her family, so what’s the point in saving her?”
“Even if she is saved, her value to me is extremely low, it is not worth me spending so many precious medicinal herbs to save her.”
Hearing that, Lathel frowned. Once again, he confirmed that Alec was indeed a ‘dark protagonist’.
To save Malina, he needed her to commensurate with what he would spend.
Lathel shook his head and said: “Do you know that she likes you very much? She was beaten almost to death because of the trouble you caused.”
“What?!” Alec was now more alert. Hearing Lathel’s questioning, he angrily shouted: “Are you joking with me?” This world is like that, the weak must obey the strong.”
“She was beaten like that because she was too weak, and she didn’t have any status in her own family.”
“If those people wanted revenge, they would have come to me, not her.”
“She is in this situation because she is too weak, and she does not have the ability to resist.”
The maid standing next to Lathel frowned. It was the Wolf girl who worked for him as a coachman and had almost killed Alec.
She walked closer to Alec, causing Alec to be alarmed. The scene from that morning appeared in his mind, and he shouted: “Oy! You… what are you planning to do?”
Lathel now raised his hand, blocking the maid. The maid looked at Lathel, but he just shook his head slightly.
The maid then looked at Alec angrily and said: “Don’t let me see you outside, otherwise, I’ll break all your limbs.”
“Ah! Lathel, you should manage that whore, she’s just a servant, but she dares to threaten me?” Although Alec was a little scared, he still had his own arrogance.
“Am I wrong? Isn’t it because Malina was so useless and they couldn’t take revenge on me that they targeted her.”
Hearing that, Lathel frowned and said: “Don’t you feel guilty? Because of the trouble you caused, she was nearly beaten to death, but you didn’t save her. Don’t you feel ashamed for doing so?”
“Ashamed? Why should I feel ashamed?” Alec shouted: “Lathel, like I said, this world is like that. She is weak, so it is normal for her to be beaten to death.”
“What if those idiots want to take revenge on me? Good! Let them come here, no matter how many people, I will kill all of them.”
“Kill until there is no one left in their family, then I will stop.”
Lathel sighed, this type of ‘Dark Protagonist’ made him feel a bit uncomfortable. He didn’t understand why many readers liked this type of main character.
He shook his head and said: “Good! I don’t want to be rude to you either, I have a deal to make with you.”
“I do not want to!” Alec immediately responded.
“You have no choice.” Lathel immediately spoke with an extremely cold voice, and the maid next to him also began to clench her fists. .
“You… you can’t come near me.” Alec quickly shouted. In fact, he didn’t understand why Lathel’s aura was so frightening.
You have to know that he is the main character, and Lathel… Alec didn’t even know what role Lathel played, but he didn’t care.
However, Alec saw Lathel’s aura and began to wonder if Lathel was a main character or not? He even wondered if Lathel was also someone from Earth like him?
In fact, Lathel used to own a company. Besides his friendliness, the temperament of a leader is something he also had.
As for Alec, in his previous life he was just a useless person, he was always hiding in his room like a mouse, so how could he have the same temperament as Lathel?
Lathel then continued: “Even if you don’t want to, you have to make this deal with me, otherwise, I’ll let her tear your ‘daisy’ apart again.”
Alec shivered, his spine felt extremely cold. His both hands immediately went down to his butt, covering his ‘daisy’.
“You…what do you want from me? I… I have no money right now.” Alec said quickly.
“Don’t worry, this transaction is completely beneficial to you.” Lathel shook his head and said: “I will pretend to be you and save Malina.”
“What?!” Alec was startled and shouted.
“Wait!” Lathel sighed and continued: “On one condition, you will continue your relationship with Malina, whether as herknight,lover, or whatever the hell it is.”
“Just go back to her like before. And… I need you to manage her and not let her continue to cause trouble for me, understand?”
Alec felt extremely confused.
But Lathel continued: “Also, I don’t want you to cause me trouble. I don’t understand why you and Malina always want to target me, but I just want peace, do you understand?”
“I… I…” Alec stammered, his brain had not yet realized what was happening: “You… why? Why are you doing this?”
“You don’t need to know, you just need to know that in this transaction, the person who benefits the most is you. If you don’t need it, then I’ll find someone else.” Lathel said impatiently.
Hearing that, Alec quickly said: “No! No! Don’t worry! I agree! But you must not break your promise, you must tell her that I sacrificed a lot to save her.”
“Alright!” Lathel held his forehead, he felt that talking to Alec made him too tired.
“So… tomorrow, I will take Malina back to her clan, what you want to do next is up to you.” Lathel frowned and said: “But you should remember, don’t mention the fact that I saved her.”
“The one who saved her was you, understand?”
Alec nodded: “Understood!”
“Both of you, shouldn’t cause trouble for me, understand?”
“Understood… But… Why does Master Lilith always favor you?” Alec suddenly asked.
“That depends on your ability.” Lathel angrily shouted: “Is it my fault that you can’t make her like you?” It’s a fair competition, understand?”
“I… I understand!” Alec stammered.
“Good, I hope you’ll keep your promise, don’t make me have to tear your ‘daisy’ off a third time.”
Having finished speaking, Lathel immediately turned around and left. The maid following him looked at Alec, raised her middle finger, then turned and left.
Alec, who was sitting on the bed, still did not understand what was happening. He also didn’t understand why Lathel saved Malina but let him take all the credit.
This is too bizarre.
However, Alec didn’t find any tricks, so he wondered if it could be that… Lathel really hates Malina because she is the child of a prostitute?
“It must be so, he hates Malina because she is the daughter of a prostitute.”
“Huh! I thought he was a good person, but in the end, he wants to abandon Malina because he thinks she isn’t ‘clean’.”
“Good! Then… I have to open my arms and add one more person to my heart.”
“Ah! I am indeed a good person, I don’t care about Malina’s identity, I only like her body… no, her personality.”
Medos: “…”
Medos, who was taking refuge inside Alec’s body, listened to what he said but he pretended not to hear anything.
At this time, Medos began to feel a little worried about his and Alec’s future. 𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝑜𝑚
Outside, Lathel returned to the carriage. The maid walking next to him suddenly spoke: “Young Master, I don’t understand.”
“Hm?! You don’t understand why I am doing this, do you?” Lathel replied with a smile.
“That’s right.”
He stopped right in front of the Enchanter Tower door, he watched the gloomy sky gradually disappear, revealing the bright moonlight.
“I… just want peace.”
