Lathel was stunned, his brain had not yet had time to load the content of what Lilith had just said.
A moment later, he stood up and shouted: “What?! I… she… she is my student? How did that happen?”
Lilith pouted, she brought the food on the table closer to vent her anger. Then she stabbed the fork into the plate so hard that it punctured the plate.
Bang!
The sharp sound rang out, making Lathel shiver.
Lilith glanced at Lathel with eyes filled with murderous intent: “What’s wrong? I am your teacher, can’t I decide on small things like this?”
Lathel frowned. He felt that his plan was being disrupted by Lilith: “Teacher… how can I do that? She… I… I can’t teach her anything.”
Lilith snorted: “Huh! I don’t need you to teach her either. You are only her teacher in name, in reality, I will be the one to teach her.”
“But…”
“Enough!” Lathel was about to say something more, but Lilith immediately interrupted him: “Lathel, remember, you also said I am your teacher, that’s why you must listen to my words. ”
“I… if that’s the case, then you can let her be your student, right?” Lathel was trying to find a way to push Claire out of his life, but Lilith was making this difficult.
Lilith gritted her teeth and glared: “The number of students I can have right now is 3. I can’t accept Claire. That’s why letting you be her teacher is the best solution.”
“But… I… I can’t be her teacher.”
“Are you deaf?” Lilith angrily shouted: “I said… I will teach her, you are her teacher in name only.”
Lathel was also angry when he heard that. He did not want to become a puppet who was always controlled by Lilith.
“No matter what you say, I don’t want to become her teacher.”
“Ah! Do you think you are strong enough to refute my words?” Lilith laughed coldly, and she also stood up. Her terrifying aura turned into a hurricane that made Lathel shiver.
But he also mustered all his courage to continue: “I said… I will not be her teacher.”
Claire saw the air filled with the smell of gunpowder and said in fear: “I… everyone… I… I don’t need to be his student, I…”
“Shut up!” Lilith shouted: “You have no right to speak here.”
Claire: (╥ ﹏ ╥)
“Lathel, you have to listen to what I say, even if you don’t want to. I am your teacher, you have no right to refuse.”
“You are my teacher, I agree with that. But I don’t want her and Malina to affect my life.” Lathel said angrily.
“You also know that the condition for me to save them is that they must not cause trouble for me or bother me.”
“Lilith, you doing this means you’re letting them meddle in my life, so is everything I did before meaningless?”
Lilith was about to say something when Claire started crying. Although her face didn’t show any emotion, her tears flowed like two streams.
Lilith laughed contemptuously: “Ah! Look, a man is making a poor girl cry, are you a man too?”
Lathel: “…”
‘If you want to know whether I’m a man or not, lie on the bed and take off all your clothes, and you’ll know the answer right away.’
Lathel silently cursed in his heart, of course, he did not dare to say it out loud.
Even though he saw Claire crying, he also felt that his words were a bit excessive. However, thinking about his beautiful life in the future, he had to be even colder.
Malina and Claire were both problematic, if they were near him, trouble would definitely find him.
Besides… Malina is a ‘green tea’ type of girl, and she will definitely find a way to trap him and harm him.
Although Claire is not a ‘green tea’ type of girl, she is Malina’s servant. So she will definitely follow Malina’s orders.
Therefore, the best solution is to stay away from these two girls.
But now, Lilith seems to be destroying his plans and his entire life.
Claire said softly: “Lathel, sorry for making you uncomfortable. You saved me, but… I am doing things that make you uncomfortable.”
“Sorry… I’m really sorry…”
Hearing that, Lathel sighed, shook his head, and said: “Okay, you can be my student.”
“But…” Claire was extremely happy. Not because she was going to be taught by Lilith, but because she could be with him.
“Enough! I have one condition, if Lilith and you break this condition, even if I die, I will find a way to leave Karol.”
Lilith gritted her teeth: “Do you dare?”
“You can try it.” Lathel frowned and said: “Even though I am cowardly, weak, and stupid, I also have my limits. If you don’t believe it, like I said, you can try me.”
Lathel and Lilith’s eyes met, and it seemed as if electric sparks were shooting out between their eyes, as neither of them was willing to back down.
Lilith then sat down tiredly in her chair. She folded her arms across her chest and looked in the other direction, with discomfort on her face.
“Say it! What are your conditions?” Lilith said angrily.
“It’s very simple, anyway, the one who will teach her is you, so I don’t need to show up.” Lathel frowned as he spoke.
“Impossible!” Lilith shouted: “Even if you are only a teacher by name, you still have to appear.”
“Besides… I don’t want to teach both of you in two different places, that would be too troublesome.”
“Then you don’t need to teach me anything.” Lathel shrugged and said.
“That’s not even good.” Lilith immediately replied.
“What’s wrong?! Since Alec became your student, you haven’t taught him anything.” Lathel gritted his teeth as he spoke.
“Because he doesn’t need me to teach him.”
“Then I don’t need you to teach me.”
“Ah! You want to die, right?” Lilith now clenched her hands, and a blue vein appeared on her forehead.
Lathel shivered: “Oy! Oy! Oy! You… What do you want to do? This place is my home.”
“I won’t hit you, I will… rape you to death.” Lilith gritted her teeth and said, her face turning a little red.
Lathel: “…”
‘What the hell? Does Lilith know that I’m a supporting character, and she’s the heroine, so I can’t touch her?’
‘Even if she doesn’t know, but… raping me to death… this woman is too cruel.’
Lathel panicked, he had never heard of such terrible punishment.
He shook his head and said: “You… you can’t do that. I… I can change the conditions.”
“Huh!” Lilith snorted.
Lathel frowned. He didn’t know what to change the condition into so he could maintain his peaceful life.
Claire also felt very embarrassed right now, as she was constantly causing trouble for him. She also felt extremely disappointed that Lathel always wanted to stay away from her.
However, Claire could understand Lathel’s feelings right now. Maybe… because what Malina did before made Lathel feel uncomfortable, so he was trying to stay away from them.
But she didn’t blame Lathel, even though Malina trapped Lathel twice, he still chose to save them.
Lathel even took out his ‘Original Spirit Water’ to save Malina, and she received a premium 4-star recovery pill to recover from her injuries.
It could be said that Lathel had given them a lot, but he only needed one thing, which was for them not to bother him.
That was a completely beneficial condition for Malina and Claire, but… Claire didn’t understand why she felt a bit of pain in her heart, like a needle was being stuck in it.
Lathel thought for a long time, and finally, he decided: “Okay, then… my final limit is Malina. You can come here so Lilith can teach you, but I don’t expect Malina to know about this.”
“To be more precise… I don’t care what method you use. As long as Malina doesn’t know about our relationship, it’s okay.”
“As long as she doesn’t bother me, set me up, or cause trouble for me, it’s fine. Do you understand?
Hearing that, Claire raised her head to look at him.
He saw Claire’s wet eyes and could only grit his teeth and say: “This is my final limit, if you don’t agree then…”
“I agree!” Claire spoke up: “Thank you, Lathel, you are very kind… you are really kind…”
Lathel saw Claire smiling while tears were still falling and sighed: “Okay, no need to thank me. I just don’t want to let my peaceful life be destroyed.”
“No!” Claire suddenly shouted: “I will never do that. Regarding Malina, I will try to convince her to trust me, okay?”
“Alright! Let’s continue to have breakfast, Lilith, are you not satisfied?” Lathel looked towards Lilith and said uncomfortably.
“Huh!” She didn’t answer and continued to eat with her head down.
Claire felt a bit embarrassed, servants weren’t supposed to sit with nobles, but… seeing Lilith and Lathel seemingly not paying attention to this, Claire felt extremely warm in her heart.
Time quickly passed, and another maid informed them that Malina seemed to be about to wake up.
That’s why Lathel quickly ordered Claire and Malina to be brought back to the Montague family.
When Claire left, she still felt a bit nostalgic and turned to look at Lathel.
Lathel shrugged: “No need to look at me, you can come here to have breakfast with me tomorrow. I won’t stop you either.”
Hearing that, Claire smiled: “Um! Thank you, Lathel…”
Watching Claire leave, Lilith pouted: “Huh! You are kind to her, but indifferent to me.”
Lathel: “…”
“Teacher… can you not say that?” Lathel sighed and said: “I also care about you very much. If you say I don’t care about you, then you can return my shoes.”
“Stingy!” Lilith backed away as if afraid that Lathel would actually take them back.
Lathel shook his head: “Okay, I’m not that petty. Teacher… I have some questions to ask you, seriously, very seriously.”
Lilith glanced at Lathel, then sighed and asked: “You’re going to ask about magic skills, right?”
“Ah! How do you know?” Lathel was a bit surprised, he hadn’t even mentioned anything related to magic, but Lilith immediately realized what he was going to ask about.
“Of course I know what you are thinking.” Lilith pouted and said: “Anyway, your physical strength and close combat ability have become very good, sooner or later you will definitely learn to use magic.”
Lathel forced a smile: “So… I can use magic skills?”
Lilith looked at him for a long moment, then shook her head and said: “Basically… I don’t know anymore.”
Lathel: “…”
