Ryne: “…”
“What the hell are you talking about?” She was a little annoyed and tapped him on the head: “This is my money, why do you think that I produce pirated money?”
Lathel pouted: “So your money is this much? I feel like this empire’s treasury doesn’t have as much money as you do.”
“Of course!” Ryne smiled and said: “My business is very good.”
“Better than Amleth’s?”
“Hm?! This…” Ryne sighed: “Of course it’s not as good as hers.” However, I can at least let you live in wealth for 1,000 years without worrying about money.”
Lathel: “…”
After hearing Ryne’s words, he felt as if he were an animal kept in a cage.
Lathel shook her head and said: “Mom, I can make money; you don’t need to give me that much.”
“But…”
“Alright.” Lathel interrupted Ryne: “Then… I will take 200 million gold coins. If I need more, I will ask you to get more.”
“Good!” Ryne happily said: “Lathel, in business, failure is normal. Don’t try too hard, even if you fail, I will provide resources for you to start again.”
“I am very rich; no matter how much gold you want, I have enough to give you. Understand?”
Hearing that, Lathel nodded: “I understand.”
He and Ryne talked a little more, then she left, leaving him alone in the room.
Knock! Knock!
There was a knock on the door. Lathel frowned and said: “Who?!”
“Ah! I am Fuxian.”
“Fuxian?” Lathel remembered the girl Ryne had talked about; he sighed and replied: “Come in!”
The door opened, and a young woman wearing a black dress with red patterns on it entered.
She walked lightly but still carried a noble beauty like a colossus.
Her long black hair was like a waterfall, and her pretty Asian face was slightly red at this moment.
She walked in front of Lathel and knelt down.
Lathel: “…” Σ (°ロ ° )
“Oy! What are you doing? He quickly stepped forward and helped her stand up, but she still tried to kneel on the ground.
“I… I am your fiancee. I hope you can help me and love me; please don’t beat me or sell me to a brothel.”
“I truly thank you for accepting to be my fiance.”
She finished speaking and put her head on the ground as if she were bowing to him.
Lathel was so surprised that he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
“What the hell are you talking about? Why would I sell you to a brothel?”
“Heh?!” Fuxian raised her head, her face carrying a bit of innocence and confusion: “Really?”
“Are you really not going to sell me to a brothel?”
“That’s right.” Lathel sighed and nodded.
“But… I’m afraid you’ll get bored of me and sell me after using me.”
“This…”
“Ah! You hesitated, which means you have that thought, right?” Fuxian suddenly cried loudly: “Huhuhu… Why is my fate so painful?”
“Perhaps… This is truly the destiny given to me by the gods. I don’t know if I’ll make it or not, but… please… Gods, tell me… if I’m sold, what should I do?”
Lathel: “…” ( ￣ ￣ |||)
“Oy! Please calm down a bit.” He felt a bit of a headache and said: “Stand up, I will definitely not sell you. I just think your thoughts are strange.”
“Heh?! Are you… I… am I really that strange?” Fuxian suddenly cried even more horribly than before, her tears flowing out like two streams, startling Lathel.
“No! What I mean is…”
“Sorry! Sorry! You’re right, everyone always says I’m a strange person.” Fuxian cried and said: “But I don’t want to be weird like this.”
“My father also said I was strange, then kicked me out of the family.”
“People call me a comet, call me a fool, call me a weirdo… huhuhu…. I don’t want to be called that.”
“I tried to be as normal as possible, but people still didn’t feel like I was normal.”
“I don’t know what to do anymore, huhuhu…”
Lathel: “…”
‘What the hell is happening?’ In his heart, he silently scolded: ‘What’s the matter with this girl?’
‘Wait! Could it be… is she the overthinking type?’
Lathel had met this type of person when she lived on earth. They were all extremely talented people, but they have low self-esteem and suffer from overthinking.
They always think very highly of themselves and act a bit strangely, so people can’t get close to them and think they’re really strange.
But when you understand them well, you will feel that they are not strange. On the contrary, you will be surprised at what is going on in their minds.
It’s like an extremely giant world full of colours and countless magical things that no one can understand.
Lathel thought that since Fuxian could become the queen’s successor, she would definitely have something more special than others.
He frowned, thought for a moment, then sat down, interrupting her words: “Fuxian, have you ever eaten cake?”
“Cake?” Fuxian was muttering when he heard Lathel’s voice. She raised her head to look at him and asked in confusion.
Lathel took out of his storage space a small donut-like cake, covered with a layer of soft and sweet cream.
This was the first time he made this type of cake, and he didn’t know what it tasted like.
Even though Lathel ate it and felt it was delicious, he still needed some ‘volunteers’ to test it.
Anyway… Lathel didn’t like sweets too much, so perhaps his opinion will be a bit distorted.
Fuxian saw the cake in Lathel’s hand and felt confused. This was the first time she had seen a cake like this.
She didn’t even know whether the cream layer on top of the cake was edible or not.
“This… Can I eat it?”
Lathel nodded: “Of course, you can eat it.”
After he finished speaking, he handed the cake to Fuxian. She held the cake in her hand and gently bit a piece.
The cake entered her mouth, and a soft and sweet feeling exploded in her mouth, making her taste buds feel like they were immersed in a symphony.
“Wow! This is… this is…” Fuxian’s eyes shone like two stars looking at the cake in her hand: “Lathel, where did you buy this cake? I want to buy one like it.”
“You can’t buy it.”
“Heh?!” Listening to Lathel, Fuxian asked in confusion: “Could it be that… it… has it become extinct?”
She started crying: “Huhuhu… Duke of Cakes, you are so miserable, have you been eaten by everyone? Has your family, your clan, been eaten up?”
Lathel: “…”
‘What the hell is a Pastry Duke? She even gave the cake a title.’
He sighed and shook his head: “No! Because… this is a cake that I made myself, you can’t buy it anywhere else.”
“Do you like it?”
“Heh?! You made it?” Fuxian had disbelief on her face: “Really? You… you know how to cook? Do you know how to make cakes?”
Lathel nodded: “Well… If you like, I can make cakes for you to eat every day.”
“As long as… you become my wife, I will definitely let you eat many delicious dishes like that.”
“WOW!!!” Fuxian’s eyes shone, and the sparkling light startled Lathel: “I agree! From now on, I am your wife. Lathel…”
She immediately bowed to him again, then raised her head and smiled happily: “Next time, please help me. This is my first time being a wife; there will probably be many things that make you unhappy, but I hope you can teach me more.”
“Once again, I am truly grateful that you accept me as your wife.”
Lathel: “…”
He didn’t know whether to be happy or sad. A cake could be exchanged for a beautiful woman. Is there anything simpler in this world than what he just did?
‘However… even if I let Fuxian be my wife, the system won’t issue a notification to warn me.’
‘So there will be two cases… she is not the female protagonist, or… I can steal the male protagonist’s opportunity somehow without affecting the laws of this world.’
‘According to the rules of this world, I can’t steal the female lead’s harem and the male lead’s opportunity.’
‘But… maybe there’s still a loophole that can help me get around those rules.’
“But… I cannot be by your side for the time being.” Fuxian suddenly continued; she bowed her head, her voice carrying a bit of shame: “I… I need to work for the Queen, that’s why, I…”
“Okay, I understand.” Lathel smiled and said: “Everyone has their own mission, I don’t blame you at all.”
“You just go back to the queen and study well, I will have the servants bring you cakes every day.”
“Heh! Lathel… you are so kind.” Fuxian’s eyes were wet as if he were about to cry: “This is the first time someone has treated me so well, huhuhu…”
“But… I… I don’t have anything to give you. I’m very poor, the Queen doesn’t even pay me.”
“What?!” Lathel frowned, He took out a bag of gold coins and gave it to Fuxian: “I don’t think the Queen is such a stingy person.”
“Achoo!” Ryne was sitting in the carriage when she suddenly sneezed and felt confused: “Strange, I feel like someone is saying bad things about me.”
“Fuxian, why are you talking for so long? Could it be… they…” Ryne suddenly thought of what happened between Lathel and Akna yesterday in the garden.
“Hopefully that happens soon, so… we can continue to train Fuxian with peace of mind.”
Returning to Lathel, after giving Fuxian some gold coins and cakes, she happily left. She even promised that she would come back to find him if she had free time.
After Fuxian left, Lathel breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that there had been too many troubles in just one morning.
“System, open my personal information panel.”
