“Good for me?” Lathel frowned.
Amleth hastily explained: “Lathel, you are too weak; you don’t even have the will to become stronger. That’s why I want to use the Bathetto family as your stepping stone.”
“Amleth, you are putting me in danger; do you know that? Do you know that Banetto, or, to be more precise, Harris, is dangerous?”
“Hahahaha…” Amleth laughed; her laughter was like the sound of wind chimes, clear and seductive: “Lathel, you’re worrying too much.”
“I have studied Harris very carefully, and of course, I know him very well. Not too weak, not too strong, just a suitable opponent for you to practice with.”
“Besides, if any fatal danger occurs, I will definitely save you. He’s just a bug; if I just swing my foot, I can stomp him to death.”
Lathel looked at Amleth with eyes full of confusion and a bit of discomfort: “Amleth, do you know what happened just three days ago, during the third round of the exam?”
“What do you mean?” Amleth asked confusedly: “Do you mean the fight between you and those two bugs? Hahahaha… I knew.”
“Lathel, you are so strong; you easily took care of those two bugs. Even though they are alive, I believe you can kill them easily, right?”
Lathel frowned. At this moment, he realised that the truth about that fight seemed to have been hidden by Farmyrth and Lilith.
In fact, that fight was not simple because even the Demon Lord or Darkness King participated.
He knew of the Darkness King’s existence thanks to Viva and Cauldron telling him.
‘It seems… Amleth is thinking too simply. However, if I tell the truth now, she will definitely not believe me.’
‘Even if she believes what I say, she may not be able to imagine the severity of the fight.’
Lathel frowned, not knowing how to solve this problem.
“Lathel… Are you upset with what I did?” Amleth said, her voice suddenly cold and a little frantic.
Lathel shivered, feeling nervous. He shook his head and said: “No, I just feel that you seem to care about me a lot.”
“Of course!” Amleth quickly spoke: “Lathel, I care about you very much. I love you very much. Everything I do is only for your good.”
“Lathel, I…”
“But…” Lathel suddenly spoke, interrupting Amleth’s words: “You make me feel troubled.”
“What?!” Amleth was startled, his eyes filled with disbelief.
“Did you know that Harris has an extremely strange talent?”
“What do you mean…”
“He seems to be a student of the Darkness King.”
“Heh?!” Amleth was extremely surprised. She frowned and glanced towards Melyne.
Melyne shook her head again, looking like she didn’t know this either.
“I almost died in his hands.”
Amleth: ??!!!
She opened her eyes wide and stammered an explanation: “This… Lathel, I… I… I didn’t think he was that strong. I… I just wanted to use that idiot as a stepping stone for you.”
Lathel sighed and shook her head: “You disappoint me. Amleth, I know you want what’s best for me, but you didn’t research Harris thoroughly.”
“Now, I’m afraid that the Darkness King has made him stronger, and my life will be in danger.”
“I… I… Lathel…” Amleth gritted his teeth, trying to calm Lathel: “Don’t worry, I will let my assassination team kill him. I promise, tomorrow, no, tonight, he will definitely die.”
“Huh! If he was that easy to kill, I would have done it a long time ago.” Lathel pretended to be annoyed and angry: “Harris is no longer an ordinary chess piece in your hand.”
“The Demon Lord and Darkness King both protect him; tell me, what should I do?”
Hearing that, Amleth was even more surprised; she did not know that the Demon Lord also appeared in this matter.
However, she didn’t think that Lathel would lie, and besides, she completely believed what Lathel had just said.
“Sorry, Lathel, I…”
“Enough!” Lathel sighed, interrupting Amleth’s words: “I don’t intend to blame you, but… Amleth, I also need private space.”
“I am not a puppet for you to control, do you understand?”
Hearing that, Amleth’s eyes suddenly became wet, followed by two streams of tears.
She gritted her teeth and muttered: “Sorry… sorry… I… I…”
Her body trembled violently, continuously backing away. At this moment, Amleth suddenly felt that Lathel was slowly moving further away from her.
If he constantly avoids her, it will only make her feel like she is hunting. This would stimulate her and even make her feel aroused.
But… When Lathel faced her directly and expressed his attitude and feelings, she felt afraid.
Just like a hunter hunting a deer but the deer gets mad and attacks the hunter.
This would make the hunter startled, scared, and unable to understand what happened.
Amleth had absolutely no idea why things got out of her control.
“Sorry, Lathel… I… I…” Amleth stammered, and she pursed her lips tightly as all the words she had prepared evaporated.
“Okay, I just hope you don’t act so rashly anymore.” Lathel sighed and said: “I have my own life and thoughts. I don’t want to become anyone’s child. Do you understand?”
“I… I understand.” Amleth bowed her head, unable to control her emotions as she cried.
Suddenly, something warm covered her entire body.
It was a very warm feeling. The masculine scent entered her nose as a man’s arms hugged her tightly.
This is something that she has always wanted.
Being hugged by the man she missed the most, loved the most, and craved the most.
She greedily smelled his masculine scent, and she was rubbing her own flesh against his.
“Lathel…” Amleth was extremely surprised; she never thought that this scene would happen, and it does right now.
Lathel frowned. He waited for the system’s punishment notification, but no notification appeared.
‘Strange, could it be… I can say this to a female lead?’ Lathel thought to herself.
He hugged Amleth for two purposes.
First, he wanted to reassure her. He speculated that Amleth was a Yandere type, and if he let her negative emotions exceed normal levels, he was afraid the one in danger would be him.
Up until now, Lathel’s words were only to find the limits of Amleth’s feelings, and he also wanted to find out… whether she really liked him or not.
Up until now, Lathel’s words were only to find the limits of Amleth’s feelings, and he also wanted to find out… whether she The second purpose is to find the system’s limits. If he wants to use Amleth, he has to pay a price. Of course, the price he had to pay included intimate contact with her.
That’s why he wanted to find out where the limit was so that he could contact the female lead.
‘If I hug the female lead, the system still won’t give you a warning message. So…’
Lathel decided to go further. He gently lifted Amleth’s chin, and they gazed at each other, making Amleth’s face blush.
At this moment, he could admire her entire beauty.
She was very beautiful—so beautiful that it made him want to immerse himself in her beauty.
Two streams of tears remained on her face, making her look a little pitiful and stimulating the feeling of wanting to protect her in his heart.
However, Lathel was still able to maintain his composure; he softly said: “I don’t hate you; I just want you to be a little obedient…”
Amleth opened her eyes wide, feeling that Lathel was now extremely handsome, cool,and dazzling…
“I… I…” Amleth stammered. She suddenly remembered her past life. Lathel had given her a lot of sweetness and a lot of tenderness, but she didn’t appreciate it at all.
She even thought that it was something Lathel had to do, so she didn’t care too much about him.
It wasn’t until he died that she felt the coldness of the house when it lost its warmth.
She felt that other men’s sweet words were extremely disgusting, nauseating, and full of lies.
Only when Lathel said those words did her heart beat faster with excitement. He was the only one who could make her blush with embarrassment and make her feel so sweet that she wanted to be immersed in his words forever.
But when he died, she knew that even if she regretted it, it was too late. It was she who pushed him away from herself; it was she who killed him.
‘No… I…. It’s not my fault. It’s because he didn’t trust me.’
‘He… he took the initiative to distance himself from me; it was his fault. But… I’m ready to forgive him; I’m ready to love him again.’
In her heart, Amleth quickly denied all her sins, blaming them all on Lathel’s head.
But not only that, she also felt that she was very selfless because she forgave all the mistakes she threw at Lathel.
She believes she is doing him a favour by loving him again.
Of course, Lathel didn’t know any of that, as he’s just trying to find the highest limit of the system.
“Don’t try to control me; it will only make me feel uncomfortable and hate you more.”
Amleth nodded slightly: “Sorry, I… I just want what’s best for you.”
Lathel nodded, then slowly let go of Amleth and left. Seeing this, Melyne stood aside, bowed her head, and let Lathel go.
Lathel walked to the door and suddenly stopped. He sighed and said: “Next time, I will come to drink tea, not to question you.”
After speaking, he left, leaving Amleth happy: “I understand.”
Akna glanced at Amleth, then also left, with many thoughts in her mind that made her uncomfortable.
Amleth saw their backs disappear. As soon as the door closed, she plopped down on the sofa and happily picked up the glass that Lathel had just used.
“Aww!!! So great… Lathel will be my friend; from best friend to lover, it is just a piece of paper apart, hahahaha…”
“Master, I feel that young master has changed too quickly.” Melyne suddenly spoke up.
Amleth didn’t pay attention to Melyne’s words; she stretched out her wet tongue and gently licked around the rim of the glass: “Uhm… Lathel’s saliva still lingers a little on the glass…”
Melyne: “…”
