Lathel was so scared that he wanted to find a place to hide, but he still tried to bravely face her.
‘Please don’t be so quiet, I’m very scared.’
‘Oy! Is anyone there? Quickly protect me…’
Lathel kept screaming in his heart, he even decided that if the situation got worse, he would use Cauldron to protect him.
How would Cauldron protect him?
Of course, he will turn Cauldron into its giant form and then hide inside him.
“Sorry…”
“Heh?!” Lathel thought he heard wrong, his eyes were filled with confusion as he looked at Lilith.
Lilith bowed her head, rubbed the corners of her skirt with both hands, and said with a sulky expression: “Sorry. I… I didn’t pay attention to your thoughts.”
“But… but… I want us to get closer to each other, is that okay?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her head, revealing her teary eyes and two lines of tears on her cheeks that had not yet dried.
Her face at this moment was both extremely pitiful and also extremely beautiful.
Lathel: “…”
If Lilith was angry, he could easily handle it, but she wasn’t angry at all. On the contrary, she apologized to him, and this made him feel like he was punching a pillow.
It didn’t make him feel more comfortable; on the contrary, it made him feel like his arm was sinking deeper into the pillow.
Lathel didn’t know how to answer this question; the atmosphere, which was stuffy, heavy, and filled with the smell of gunpowder, had now turned cute.
“Let me go!” Suddenly, a voice rang out, startling both him and Lilith.
Lilith gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart: ‘Damn it! Who broke the atmosphere filled with my love?’
The two turned around and saw a group of maids blocking a woman.
The woman was wearing a white robe; she had black hair and a beautiful face, but she was also showing determination to move towards Lathel.
“Lafien?! Is she finally back?” Lathel saw Lafien and felt a little happy.
After all, she ran away because he spoke to her harshly. Now that she had returned safely, he was completely at ease.
Lafien was a half-vampire which means her status was a bit special. If she wanders outside for too long and is discovered by other people, lathel was afraid that the consequences will be extremely terrible.
Lafien saw Lathel and was immediately happy, but when she saw Lilith, her eyes became angry and filled with murderous intent.
Lathel then spoke up: “Lafien, have you returned?”
“Huh! That’s right, are you disappointed that I’m back?” Lafien said contemptuously.
Lathel: “…”
‘Is she still angry?’ He secretly thought to himself, however, he didn’t want to let her cause trouble anymore.
“You don’t have to say that, I…”
“Ah! I know!” Lafien interrupted what Lathel was saying: “I came back and ruined the romantic atmosphere between you and that bitch, so are you disappointed?”
Lathel frowned. He glanced at Lilith. Lilith’s expression at this time was also confused as she looked at him.
He shook his head and sighed: “Lafien, you seem to have misunderstood something. Lilith and I are just teacher and student.”
“Teacher and student?!” Lafien smiled contemptuously: “Which teacher and student stay together at night and lie in the same bed? Do you think that I’ll believe you?” 𝘳.𝑐𝘰
“Let me go!” Lafien pushed the surrounding maids away.
This made Lathel frown, and he said: “Okay! Don’t stop her; let her talk to me.”
“I don’t need to talk to you.” Lafien said as she took out a small box from her pocket: “Take this pill, and I will pretend that nothing happened.”
Lathel glanced at Lafien, his eyes gradually becoming impatient: “Lafien, I am not a child; I do not easily believe what people say.”
“You suddenly ran away, then suddenly returned, I don’t blame you. Now, you brought out a strange pill and asked me to take it…”
“Lafien, do you think I am somehow stupid?”
“You…” Lafien gritted his teeth.
“Besides.” Lathel sighed and said: “This place is not your home, nor is it my home. But you suddenly barged in like this; don’t you feel embarrassed?”
“Why should I feel ashamed?” Lafien shouted: “You are the one who should feel ashamed. You and that bitch are like two animals in heat.”
Lathel furrowed his brows; he felt like Lafien had misunderstood something. He thought back carefully and deduced that she had probably seen him massaging Lilith.
However, it was very dark at that time, perhaps Lafien misunderstood that he and Lilith had…
“Did you see when we did that?” Lilith suddenly spoke up.
Lathel: “…”
‘Don’t talk so vaguely, okay? It’s a massage, not ‘that’.’
Lathel wanted to cry, he had the feeling that Lilith was afraid this couldn’t get any more complicated.
“Hahaha… I immediately knew you were doing ‘that’.” Lafien laughed loudly.
“That’s right. Even if we do ‘that’? What does it have to do with you?” Lilith put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and spoke extremely proudly.
Lathel: “…”
‘Oy! Can you talk properly?’
“Enough!” Lathel sighed and said: “Lafien, you have misunderstood what happened. That day…”
“I know, you guys did the deed.” Lafien said contemptuously.
Lathel: “…”
‘Can you let me finish?’
“I don’t care anymore.” Lafien continued: “You just need to swallow this pill, I will forgive everything you have done and all your mistakes.”
Lathel shook his head and sighed: “Don’t be so naive. I don’t even know what medicine it is. Just because you tell me to take it doesn’t mean I have to take it.”
“If you don’t take it, I will…” Lafien gritted her teeth and said.
“What will you do? Lathel frowned and asked.
“I will… I will…” Lafien faltered, unable to find a reason to threaten Lathel.
After all, her life depends on Lathel, so how could she threaten him?
At this time, a servant approached and whispered in his ear. Lathel frowned upon hearing that, but he still nodded and replied: “I understand.”
At this time, Lathel looked towards Lafien and said: “Good, if I take that pill, you will pretend that nothing happened, right?”
“Master!” The servants standing around quickly spoke up.
“Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.” Lathel waved his hand and said.
“What the hell are you doing? Give it back to me!” Lafien shouted.
In the blink of an eye, Lilith took the medicine box from Lafien’s hand and opened it. Inside the box was a black pill that emitted an extremely strong scent.
“This is…” Lilith frowned and said: “This is the ‘Dream Butterfly’, why do you have this?”
Hearing Lilith’s question, Lafien angrily shouted: “What the hell are butterfly wings in dreams? You don’t need to know how I got it!”
Lilith frowned, her face extremely serious: “Lafien, you seem to have caused a huge disaster. This pill is called ‘Dream Butterfly’, a powerful narcotic that can immerse the user in hallucinations.”
“Is it that terrible?” Lathel frowned and asked. In fact, the maid earlier told him that it was a type of narcotic, but she did not specify how powerful its effects were.
Lilith glanced at Lathel and explained: “No, it is much more powerful than you think.”
“As far as I can see, this pill is 15 times stronger than the normal version. That means… Lathel, if you take this pill, you will go into shock and die.”
Lathel took a deep breath; he did not think that the pill was so terrible.
He looked towards the servants. They saw Lathel’s eyes and nodded as if proving that what Lilith had just said was completely correct.
Lathel breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, he hadn’t taken that pill, otherwise, the consequences would have been extremely scary.
He was afraid that even if he possessed the talents of ‘Healing’ and ‘Adaptation’, he wouldn’t be able to withstand the effects of that pill.
Lilith continued speaking: “Lathel, no matter how strong you are, you cannot take this pill. Even high-level fighters who take this pill will definitely die.”
“You’re lying!” Lafien suddenly shouted: “You don’t want Lathel to take that pill, do you?”
“You’re just trying to trick everyone. Quickly give it back to me!”
Lilith frowned and looked at Lafien seriously: “Lafien, you are about to die.”
“What?! What the hell are you talking about?!” Lafien spoke angrily.
Lilith shook her head: “Don’t you know what’s going to happen? The ‘Dream Butterfly’ is a banned drug in the Karol Empire; anyone who uses, deals with, or possesses this drug will be punished with imprisonment.”
“However, with the terrible content of this pill, I’m afraid… your end will be death.”
“You… you… you talk nonsense. This pill is clearly the ‘truth pill’, he told me so.” Lafien seemed to realize the severity of the problem, as she hastily explained.
“Are you talking about this pill? Who gave you this pill?” Lilith said with a frown, her eyes starting to become dangerous and filled with murderous intent.
“I… I can’t tell you.”
“Good!” Lilith shook her head and said: “It is true that there is no medicine that can save you. If you don’t tell the truth, then… you can only wait for death.”
“Besides, your crime is even worse because you dared to poison a Duke. Lafien, I’m afraid you won’t live until tomorrow.”
Lafien took a step back, her eyes filled with disbelief. Lathel also wanted to rescue her at this time. He knew Lafien must have been tricked by someone, as he couldn’t believe that she could do such terrible things.
BAM!
At this moment, a loud explosion rang out, and smoke and dust clouded the atmosphere. A group of people dressed in heavy armor and leopard clothes rushed into the garden.
Laura walked in front, her face full of seriousness and determination. She wore light armor, held a sword, and glanced around.
The servants did not stop them, on the contrary, they retreated back, standing close to Lathel to protect him.
Laura looked over everyone, then spoke: “Who are Lathel and Lafien?”
Hearing that, Lathel felt a little confused and glanced at the servants. They also stood silently. Even though he felt confused, he still answered: “I am Lathel, and she is Lafien.”
“Good!” Laura nodded, then waved her hand. Her followers immediately pointed their weapons at Lathel and Lafien.
The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.
Laura said loudly: “Someone reported that you are using and trading illegal drugs. Please follow me to the investigation room to continue investigating this matter.”
“If you resist, I will take it as a threat, and of course, even if you are a Duke, I still have the right to kill you.”
