He had just raised his foot, preparing to move towards Lafien, when Medos’s voice rang in his head: “What are you planning to do?”
Alec snorted and said: “Seeing a sad beauty, a gentleman’s job is to comfort her and give her a strong shoulder that she can lean on.”
“Don’t talk nonsense…” Medos shouted: “If you covet her body, just say it directly; don’t pretend to be a gentleman.”
“Huh! So what? What effect does it have on you?” Alec said angrily: “I’m a man, she’s a woman, can’t I flirt with her if I want to?”
“You misunderstood what I meant.” Medos sighed: “What I mean is… she seems to be Lathel’s woman; you shouldn’t approach her.”
“Lathel’s woman? So what?” Alec shouted angrily: “Looking at her now, it seems like she has finally seen through Lathels lies.”
“This is the best opportunity to reach her. While she is lonely, I’ll give her a strong shoulder to cry on, and I’ll be the sun that warms her heart.”
Medos: “…”
“You should remember.” Medos tried to dissuade Alec: “Every time you do something related to Lathel, you fail miserably. Do you want to continue like this?”
“Just like when you were at the Montague family, without Lathel there, you could easily flex; you even face-slapped the people around you.”
Alec said angrily: “Shut up! Teacher, can you stop trying to belittle me and overestimate Lathel?” 𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝑜𝑚
“If you weren’t hiding inside the necklace I’m wearing, I’m afraid I’d think you were Lathel’s teacher.”
“It’s just a small failure, how can I give up? Besides… I don’t believe that I will always fail.”
Medos: “…”
He felt like this was the second time he had heard that sentence from Alec.
Alec didn’t care about Medos anymore; he hurriedly walked towards Lafien, however, because his ‘daisy’ was still in pain, his gait was extremely unsightly.
“La…Lafien…”
A voice rang out. Lafien was startled, and she turned her head to look towards the source of the sound.
However, what met her eyes was not the person she was expecting, so her eyes, which were filled with hope, instantly became even more desperate.
But when she saw clearly that the person whose voice she heard was Alec, Lafien’s desperate eyes showed a bit of contempt.
Alec saw Lafien’s eyes and gritted his teeth, trying to control his anger.
He walked up to Lafien, smiled friendly, and said: “Lafien… why are you here? Lathel… is not coming with you?”
Hearing Alec mention Lathel, she turned her head and looked in the other direction: “It has nothing to do with you.”
Alec smirked, feeling extremely happy: ‘Great, it seems I guessed right. Lafien must have seen Lathel’s true self.’
He tilted his head, trying to see Lafien’s face clearly hidden by the hood of her cloak: “Miss Lafien, it seems you are in trouble, I can help you.”
Hearing that, Lafien glanced at Alec sharply, which scared him a little.
Alec quickly explained: “Miss Lafien, I have no bad intentions. I am confronting you because you are with Lathel; my opponent is him, not you.”
“I also realized that our conflict was just a misunderstanding. I really wanted to apologize to you, but I couldn’t find the opportunity. That’s why…”
“Sorry… Miss Lafien.”
When Lafien heard Alec’s sincere voice, her body suddenly trembled slightly. She gritted her teeth and nodded. “I know; I don’t need you to care. Get out.”
She turned around and left in a hurry.
Alec saw that Lafien did not resist, nor did she intend to fight with him, he immediately felt that this was the right time for him to ‘attack’.
He ran in front of Lafien, and using a voice filled with determination, he said, “Miss Lafien, as a gentleman, I cannot leave a beautiful woman like you while your eyes are still wet. you are unstable.”
“I can help you, Miss Lafien. Trust me, for me, Lathel is my opponent; you were just deceived by him.”
“Why?” Hearing this, Lafien was startled and said: “How did you know I was tricked by Lathel?”
She also never told anyone about this. After yesterday evening, she seemed to just wander on the street, thinking a lot about what happened.
Lafien hoped that it was all just a misunderstanding, however, Lilith’s lewd moans came from inside Lathel’s bedroom…
Add to that the image of Lathel sitting on Lilith, she couldn’t trust him anymore.
Hearing that, Alec immediately smiled. He felt so happy that he wanted to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate: ‘Bingo!!! Hahahaha… Lathel, I can finally grasp your tail.’
Alec smiled lightly and said: “Of course I know Lathel’s nature very well. I met him before he met you.”
“At that time, I advised him many times that he should not use his lies to deceive others.”
“However…” Alec suddenly sighed and continued, his face showing disappointment: “It seemed like he didn’t listen to what I said; he even protested, thinking that I was blocking his future path.”
“Finally… Miss Lafien, you have seen it. He and I had to go down two different paths. When we meet, we are enemies.”
“But I didn’t expect that in just a short time, he would be able to trick you and that poor girl even more.”
Hearing that, Lafien frowned, and in her heart, she began to connect the events from the moment she came to rescue the church’s law enforcement group. 𝘪𝑎.𝘤𝑜𝑚
At that time… she didn’t understand why these people attacked Lathel. Lafien also thought that Lathel was the one who took the church’s five-colored elemental stone.
Besides, there was also a pure-blood vampire. No, Charlotte was not simply a pure-blood vampire; she was a blood queen.
Now, Lafien thinks back and feels there are too many unreasonable things that she ignored. How could a normal person live with the Blood Queen?
Why does the Blood Queen trust Lathel so much?
Why did members of the church’s law enforcement attack Lathel and not the Blood Queen?
Lafien thought of only one reason…
‘Could it be that… Lathel really took the five-colored elemental stone? However, he knew he couldn’t escape, so he used the Blood Queen to kill them?’
‘No, he didn’t kill me. Why does he want me alive?’
‘It seems Lathel has some other plans. Not good. Since I met him, I seem to have completely lost my guard. Now that I think about it carefully… this feels like a trap.’
Lafien shivered, feeling remorseful for her own foolishness.
Alec saw Lafien falling into thought and continued: “Miss Lafien, I think… I can help you. However, I also know that you do not completely trust me, so I have a way to make you trust me.”
Hearing that, Lafien glanced at Alec: “What do you mean?”
Alec took out a porcelain bottle as small as two fingers from his pockets and said: “Miss Lafien, this is a medicine that can help you know what Lathel is thinking, called ‘truth medicine’. ”
Lafien frowned; it seemed like she still didn’t believe what Alec just said: “Are you kidding me?”
“Ack!” Alec was a bit startled, but he quickly explained: “In fact, this is just a general way to talk about this drug. This drug is simply an anesthetic, but it causes the user to enter a dreamy state, not quite a coma.”
“In that state, the person taking this medicine cannot resist or think about anything else, even lying.”
“At that time, no matter what you ask, Lathel will tell the truth, hell will be unable to lie.”
“Don’t worry, this medicine doesn’t have any side effects. Like I said, it’s just like an anesthetic. After Lathel wakes up, he won’t remember what happened.”
Hearing that, Lafien immediately reached out to take the porcelain vase in Alec’s hand.
However, Alec was faster; he immediately retreated, smiled, and said: “Miss Lafien, I didn’t say I would give you this for free.”
Lafien frowned: “Oh! Do you want gold coins? I’m sorry, I don’t have any gold coins.”
Alec shook his head: “Hahaha… Lady Lafien, you look down on me too much. To me, even a mountain of gold coins cannot compare to a place in your heart.”
“Miss Lafien, I want to make a deal with you; do you accept?”
“Transaction?” Lafien asked confusedly.
“That’s right. I’ll give you this potion on the condition that you will stop opposing me, okay?”
Hearing that, Lafien felt even more confused: “What do you mean…”
“We can start by becoming friends.” Alec smiled; his smile was like warm sunlight.
Alec was really handsome; it’s just… the way he dresses makes him look like a country bumpkin.
Lafien saw Alec’s smile and felt a little worried, but she wanted to know the truth and what Lathel was really planning.
Besides… being Alec’s friend wouldn’t affect her too much.
Lafien nodded and said: “Okay, but I’ll say this, even if I become your friend, I won’t help you much. No, to be more precise, I won’t help you at all. Do you understand?”
“Hahaha… I already said I don’t need you to help me; I just need you…” Alec said as he walked in front of Lafien, reached out his hand, and stroked Lafien’s black hair: “I just need… a position.” only in your heart.”
Lafien raised her head to look at him and suddenly waved her hand, pushing him away. Alec was caught off guard and was suddenly pushed away by Lafien, her enormous force causing him to fall to the ground.
His buttocks were in intimate contact with the ground. Alec winced, his eyes widening, and he could feel that his ‘daisy’ seemed to be tearing open again.
Lafien also took this opportunity and took the porcelain vase in his hand: “I agree to this transaction. But I have important things to do first.”
She finished speaking and left immediately, but Alec still couldn’t stand up.
Some passersby saw Alec falling to the ground with an extremely scary expression so they came closer to help him.
“Wait!” The man who wanted to help him suddenly stopped. He frowned and shouted: “What the hell is that? Why is this kid’s butt yellow and red?”
“AAA!! He… his butt is spitting blood, spitting it out… Hew!!”
“That’s disgusting. Quick, use the crystal ball to save this image.”
“Amazing! This will shock the entire Karol capital! A young man sat in the middle of the road to… Hew!! So rotten!”
At this moment, Alec could not move, two drops of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes, as if saying…
‘In this life… I have nothing left to lose.’
