“Really?” Laura smiled and said, her voice carrying a bit of playfulness: “Usually, men with high status and talent like you treat women like toys or ornaments.”
Lathel shook his head: “I don’t have such perverted hobbies. If you don’t trust me, then you can leave; anyway, I won’t force you to be my girlfriend.”
“Oh! It looks like you’re trying to make me hate you.”
“I…”
“Very good; you are very interesting.” Laura interrupted Lathel’s words: “Your success has made me pay more attention to you.”
She walked up to him, stretched out her index finger, gently lifted his chin, and smiled: “Your plan has succeeded; I’m starting to feel more interested in you than before.”
Lathel: “…”
‘Did I have any plans? Why don’t I know?’
“You misunderstood, I…”
“You don’t need to explain; I know what you’re going to say.” Laura put her finger on his lips, signalling him not to continue talking.
“Ack! You…”
Laura suddenly hugged Lathel’s waist with one arm while she dragged her fingers from his lips to his chin.
She stared at him, making him feel a bit embarrassed.
“Hm… Laura, you… Can you let me go? There are still people watching us here.”
Listening to Lathel, Laura smiled and replied: “What’s wrong? Do you feel shy?”
“That’s exactly what it is.”
“Hahaha… Lathel, you’re really interesting. I’m a woman, I don’t feel shy, why would a man like you feel shy?”
Lathel: “…”
At this moment, he remembered a saying he once heard when he lived on Earth.
‘If you don’t feel ashamed, the people around you will feel ashamed.’
For example, if you are sitting in a coffee shop and you try to get up but slip and fall on the ground, everyone will look at you and make you feel embarrassed. If you quickly stand up, many people will laugh at you and scold you for being stupid.
But what if you don’t stand up?
What if… when you fall, you lie still on the ground and don’t get up?
In the first ten seconds, everyone will laugh at you and call you stupid. But then, when they don’t see you stand up, they will notice that something is wrong.
After a while, if you still don’t stand up, everyone around you will start to worry and get scared.
At this time, many people who are afraid that something is wrong will quickly leave the cafe, and others will approach you to see if you are okay or not.
Even the cafe’s manager will appear with a worried look on his face. At that time, you just need to stand up, then go out normally, and the people around you will be the ones who should thank you.
They will thank you because you’re okay; you can still stand up.
It is a normal psychological state in society.
At this time, too, Laura did not feel shy. When people entered the room and saw her hugging him, they felt a bit shy, and they didn’t want to ruin their atmosphere, so they quickly left.
“Have you ever kissed before?” Laura suddenly asked, their faces so close that Lathel could feel her warm breath.
Lathel swallowed her saliva and nodded slightly: “Once…”
“Ah! It seems… I can’t have your first kiss. But… from now on… every day, I will take away your first kiss of the day.”
“This… um… um…uck…” Lathel was about to say something when Laura bowed her head and kissed him on the lips.
Then came her fierce attack, her soft tongue carrying the most wonderful taste in the world slowly entering his mouth.
Lathel, of course, resisted, but not significantly. After that, he also immersed himself in lust.
However, he could feel Laura’s hand lifting his chin, slowly touching his chest, then moving underneath, creeping into his pants.
“Um… um…” Lathel tried to push Laura away, but he couldn’t; she was much stronger than him.
“Um… you… um.. uck…” Just as Lathel opened his mouth to say something, Laura’s mouth locked his mouth, and her tongue quickly searched for his tongue, attacking his tongue and making him breathless.
A moment later, their lips parted, and Lathel also took this opportunity to step back and straighten his clothes.
Laura looked at him with greed. She raised the hand that had touched the thing inside his pants to smell it.
Lathel raised his head; he saw Laura sniffing her hand, and worse, she stretched out her tongue and licked each finger as if those fingers still had some extremely delicious sauce on them.
“Um… the taste isn’t bad.”
Lathel: “…”
He felt like crying. Are any of these female leads normal? He felt that no female lead was normal. 𝑖.𝘤ℴ𝘮
This morning he was forced to kiss Lilith, and he almost lost his first time.
After escaping from Lilith, Laura forced him to kiss her. She even touched his ‘weapon’.
“You… pervert!” Lathel didn’t know what to say, so he just scolded her.
“That’s right, even if you scold me, you have to accept it.” Laura used a towel to wipe her hands clean, then smiled contemptuously: “You need me to save Lafien, do you want her to return to that dark place again?”
“If I want, I promise she will live forever in that dark room until she dies.”
Hearing that, Lathel gritted her teeth and felt a bit desperate. Does he also have to endure this kind of situation until Lafien is released?
“But… you…”
While Lathel was speaking, Laura walked up to him, held his face with both hands, and said: “Okay, be obedient and be my boyfriend, I promise you won’t regret it.”
Lathel: “…”
“If you resist, you will only make me feel more interested.” Laura said, her eyes suddenly filled with greed and madness, making Lathel shiver in fear.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Suddenly, a strange sound rang out like a bell.
Laura frowned, let go of his face, and took out a card from her pocket. That card was vibrating and making a sound like a bell.
She put the card back in her pocket and smiled seductively: “Okay, we’re done for today. I will come find you tomorrow.”
After she finished speaking, Laura left, leaving Lathel in disbelief.
In fact, this was only the second time he had met Laura. The first time was at Ryne’s castle.
At that time, Laura came to arrest him and Lafien for banned substances, and the second time he had met her was today.
That day, he felt strange when Laura treated him completely differently than Alec.
He was invited into the living room to drink tea. As for Alec, he was taken into an interrogation room and even tortured.
‘Could it be that I guessed wrong? Laura is not a heroine, is she a villainess?’
‘Wait! This seems more accurate. Because she made the male lead uncomfortable and even tortured the male lead.’
‘With the nature of the male lead Alec, he will definitely take revenge, he will even try to kill Laura.’
‘So… in the series where Alec is the main character, Laura is the villainess.’
‘But… this is just my speculation, there is no information to prove it.’
‘The question is… if Laura is a villainess, then… Can I put her in my harem?’
Lathel frowned and thought, in fact, Laura was the type of strong woman who wanted to get what she wanted at all costs.
But… he’s just afraid that Laura is a strong, toxic woman who won’t let him form a harem.
Besides, if Laura is truly a female villain and he becomes her man, he will definitely suffer the same fate as her, becoming a villain.
Lathel sighed and shook his head. He stood up, not wanting to think anymore. No matter how much he thought, he couldn’t change anything.
He was about to leave the gem store when manager Kiin appeared and smiled: “Duke Lathel, just in time, my store imported a large number of gems, do you want to take a look?”
“That ‘Hidden Gem’ thing again?” Lathel sighed. Because of this game, he got into trouble, and some people even died.
“Ack! No, it’s just… in the group of gems that were just brought to the store, there is a rather strange gem. I think you will be interested.”
Hearing that, Lathel frowned and said: “Not interested. Sorry, I’m busy and need to go.”
“Ack! Then…” Before Manager Kiin could finish speaking, Lathel left.
He also knew that that mysterious rock was definitely Alec’s opportunity. He didn’t want to get into any more trouble, so leaving was necessary.
Lathel also felt strange. Why did Alec’s opportunities keep appearing in front of him as if saying: ‘Hey! Come and catch me.’
Please… You are Alec’s opportunity, not mine; what’s the use of appearing before me?
Lathel shook his head dejectedly and left.
…
Outside, Laura walked to a small alley, then stopped. There didn’t seem to be anyone around this place; even though it was noon, this place didn’t seem to receive any sunlight at all.
She crossed her arms over her chest, frowned, and said, “Do you want to see me?”
As soon as the words ended, in front of her, a woman wearing a white robe and a white mask appeared on her face.
The woman looked at Laura and said: “I represent the church, I have come to ask you to release Lafien.”
“Oh! She was involved in a serious case, as she broke the law in this empire. Do you think I can forgive her easily?” Laura smiled disdainfully.
“Do you want to confront the church?”
“No, no, no… Hahahaha…” Laura laughed and said: “You misspoke.”
“More precisely… Does the Church want to confront the Karol Empire?”
The woman in the white robe was angry, her hands clenched: “Are you doubting the power of the church?”
“If the Church wants, we can level this entire empire and reduce this place to a pile of ashes.”
“Hahaha… it’s easy to say, but difficult to do. Many people say the same thing as you, but no one can do it.” Laura said contemptuously: “Up until now, have any priests been able to preach inside the Karol empire?”
“You…”
“Enough!” Suddenly, another voice rang out. A young man appeared next to a woman wearing a white robe.
She saw that young man, quickly knelt on one knee, bowed her head, and said: “Young master…”
The young man is about 180 cm tall. He was wearing a white robe with a yellow pattern on it that radiated a gentle light.
More specifically, his face seemed to be covered by a layer of fog, making it impossible to see clearly.
That young man looked at Laura and said: “This is our first meeting; it is an honour to meet the legendary ‘Sword of Justice’.”
