The next morning, Lathel woke up refreshed; he felt that he had a good sleep. The morning sunlight shining into the room through the window made him feel as if he had returned to Earth.
There were only two things that reminded him that this place was still a fantasy world. The first reason was that Charlotte was lying in his lap, and secondly, there was no traffic noise.
Lying on the soft bed, he felt as if the past 7 days were just a dream.
But this was the first time since he came to this world that he slept in a clean bed with Charlotte.
In fact, back at her castle, the bed she slept on was nothing more than a pile of trash.
Lathel did not rush to sit up; rather, he opened the system information panel.
…

…
Lathel looked at his personal information panel and felt a little worried. Although he had many occupations, skills, and high-ranking talents, he actually didn’t have any offensive skills.
If he really needed to fight, he wouldn’t be able to do anything more than use his own strength to fight.
[Ding! Congratulations on surviving to day 8, do you want to ‘sign in’ today?]
Lathel saw the system’s notice board and was secretly grateful because he was still alive today.
Then he nodded and said, “Sign in!”
[Ding! Signed in successfully; you have received the ‘comet card’.]
“Comet card?” Lathel felt strange, his eyes looking towards the card floating in front of him.
“Information.”
[Ding! The comet card was used successfully.]
Another system notification appeared, and immediately after that, the card disappeared as if it had never appeared.
Lathel: “…” .
“Oy! System, is there a bug? I haven’t had time to see the information on that card; I haven’t even used it yet. Why has that card disappeared?” Lathel asked, feeling uncomfortable.
But the system remained silent, without any response. Lathel also lay still and waited. After more than 10 minutes, he finally had to sigh, as he didn’t receive anything today.
But he didn’t feel sad, as long as he was alive, he could still use the?’sign in system’, so he considered today to be the day the system rested.
Lathel gently left the bed and avoided waking Charlotte, then he went to the kitchen.
Yesterday, he toured this house. The kitchen was also very complete. Besides, there were also some fresh vegetables in the kitchen, perhaps Brevil had prepared them for him yesterday.
He considered making a delicious breakfast today. After all, he had been living in the forest for a while, the ingredients and supplies he had then were lacking, so he couldn’t cook comfortably.
As soon as he left the room, he immediately saw Lafien coming down from the upper floor.
“Ack! Lafien, good morning…” Lathel said shyly, after all, he still hadn’t forgotten what happened last night, and now seeing her again made him feel a bit embarrassed.
When Lafien saw him, she gritted her teeth, her face turned slightly red, and she turned to leave.
“Lafien!”
Lathel spoke, and Lafien stopped walking: “I… you… do you want breakfast?”
Lafien: “…”
…
More than 400 miles north of the capital Karol, a girl was sitting in a carriage, that carriage was also heading towards the capital Karol.
The girl had yellow hair that was tied in a neat bun. She was also wearing a black and white dress, with a red cape over it.
In her hand, she also held something that looked like a stick but was covered by a layer of white cloth, making it impossible to see what it was.
Her face was very beautiful but it looked as if she had just woken up, and she was not yet fully awake
Suddenly, in the sky, a ray of light shined down on the top of her head, something entered her head and then disappeared.
Everything happened in less than a second, but the girl was suddenly startled and looked into the distance.
“Ah! I… that’s right, I need to find master.”
Then, the girl hugged the stick like object, bowed her head, and closed her eyes as if she were sleeping.
…
Back to Lathel, at this time, he had finished preparing breakfast. The table was quite full with three plates of soup, a plate of bread, three glasses of milk and three pieces of grilled meat that smelled nice.
When Lafien and Charlotte saw the dishes Lathel had prepared, their eyes shone.
“Okay, let’s have breakfast…” Lathel said with a smile.
Charlotte couldn’t wait any longer and started eating, however, she didn’t use a knife, fork or spoon, instead she just started eating with her hands like someone who has been starved for a long time.
Lathel sighed and said: “Charlotte, eat slowly, no one will take it from you.”
“You should use a spoon, fork, and knife, you use it like this…” Lathel was very patient,?he used a handkerchief to wipe her face, then instructed her on how to hold the eating utensils.
Charlotte pouted, her face full of dissatisfaction but she also obediently followed Lathel’s instructions.
Seeing this, Lafien bit her lip and felt a bit uncomfortable. But when she ate, she was surprised because these dishes were so delicious.
“Well… is it to your liking?”
Lathel’s voice rang out. As Lafien saw him smiling and looking at her, she felt a little embarrassed.
Lafien bowed her head and said softly: “It’s okay…”
Lathel nodded: “If you want to eat something or you have any preference, just tell me and I will make it according to your preferences.”
“I… I don’t have any special interests.” Lafien said shyly, as if she was avoiding his eyes.
As Lathel held Charlotte’s hand and showed her how to use the eating utensils, he said: “About last night… I… am sorry.”
Lafien heard that and was silent. After a while, she raised her head and looked at him with wet eyes as if she was about to cry.
“Ack!” Lathel was startled: “You… don’t cry, I’m sorry. In fact, last night I planned to let Charlotte suck your blood, but she slept too soundly, so… I… I sucked your blood.”
“Because… the situation at that time was too urgent, if I continued to ignore you, I’m afraid…”
Lafien bit her lip and nodded slightly: “I understand… but… I remember when you sucked my blood, you licked my neck.”
Lathel: “…”
“This… I…” Lathel hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
“Next time…” Lafien spoke again: “Next time I forbid you from licking my neck, otherwise, even if I die, I will kill you.”
Seeing Lafien’s eyes filled with murderous intent, Lathel nodded: “Of course, next time I will let Charlotte suck your blood, I won’t touch you.”
“Huh!” Lafien snorted, then lowered her head to continue eating, however, when she heard Lathel’s words, she felt loss in her heart.
…
After having breakfast, Lathel left Lafien and Charlotte at home and went alone to the Enchanter Tower.
He also didn’t want yesterday’s incident to repeat itself. After all, Lafien and Charlotte were not Lilith’s opponents, and bringing them along would only put them in more danger.
Besides… Lilith could also capture them to threaten him.
On the contrary, he also did not want to limit their freedom. Lafien also cannot harm Charlotte because there is a blood slave contract between them.
Arriving at the gate of the Enchanter Tower, he met the gatekeeper again. When the gatekeeper saw him, he smiled and said: “We meet again, Mr. Lathel.”
“Ack! You don’t have to call me so formally, you can just call me Lathel.” Lathel forced a smile and said.
“No way, you are now a student of the Fifth Elder, your position is a hundred times higher than a gatekeeper like me.” The gatekeeper said seriously.
“I’m just a student, also I don’t know if I can continue to be her student or not. You can just call me Lathel. If you call me too formally, I won’t talk to you anymore.”
The gatekeeper scratched his head, sighed and said: “Good! Lathel… hahaha… I also didn’t think you were friendlier than those arrogant students.”
Lathel shook his head: “I don’t know how significant it is to become a student of this place. I only know that if you respect everyone, you will be respected by everyone.”
The gatekeeper heard that and laughed loudly: “Hahahaha… you have spoken very well, that’s great… That’s right, if you respect everyone, everyone will respect you.”
He said as he took out a small card from his pocket and gave it to Lathel: “If you need any help, please contact me. Even though I’m just an ordinary gatekeeper, at the very least, I know a lot of things that other people don’t know.”
Lathel saw that the card the gatekeeper gave him was no different from the card Brevil gave him, so he took it, then placed it in his storage space.
“Um, I know.”
“My name is Straghor Molder, you can call me Straghor. As thanks for your friendliness, I can give you quite interesting news.”
“Hmm?!” Hearing that, Lathel asked with some interest: “What news?”
“In the area reserved for high-ranking Nobles, Earl Bourban’s daughter contracted a disease, and he offered a reward of 100,000 gold coins and a secret gift to anyone who could cure that disease.”
Hearing that, Lathel frowned. He felt as if this information did not belong to him.
That’s right, he felt like it was the main character’s opportunity. If we follow the motifs of the novels, the girl with the disease is very beautiful, but the only person who can cure that disease is the male protagonist.
In this situation, the male lead is definitely Alec. After a successful treatment, Alec will not only capture the girl’s heart, but he will also receive help from Count Bourban.
Lathel frowned and asked: “Is that girl… beautiful?”
“This… I’m not sure either. It seems like no one has seen her real face clearly. But there are many reports that Count Bourban’s daughter is very ugly, that’s why he locked her in his castle and doesn’t let her go out.”
“Heh?! Really?”
“That’s right. There is also a rumor that Bourban’s daughter is a hybrid between a human and a member of the Beast race, and that she is extremely ugly. Moreover people say that because he cares alot about his reputation, he locked her in his basement.” Straghor explained.
“However, I lean more toward the latter.”
“Why?” Lathel asked.
“Because before, Count Bourban was lost in the forest, then was captured and raped by a Beast tribe woman.”
Lathel: “…”
“Wait! What you mean is… Bourban was raped by a Beast woman, and then she gave birth to Bourban’s daughter.”
“That’s right.”
Lathel: Σ (O_O)
‘This world… is so strange.’
