Lathel suddenly stopped walking, turned around, glanced at her, sighed, and said: "Arine, I need ti to accept this, but... maybe we can still be friends."
Having finished speaking, he did not wait for Arine to answer before turning around and leaving.
Seeing Lathel disappear, Arine cried... She cried fiercely; her tears flowed like rain, and her eyes were bloodshot. She also felt a sharp pain inside, as if her heart had been broken.
"Lathel… why? Why can't you accept ?"
*Sigh* A sigh rang out, and a white figure appeared next to Arine.
"Arine, do you really like him?" The white figure spoke up.
Arine did not turn her head to look at that person, nor was she surprised when that person appeared here. She just nodded slightly: "Yes, I did everything to et him; in the end... what I received in return was only indifference."
"What… should I do?"
"The Holy Maiden and normal people cannot love each other." The white figure spoke again: "If you continue, you and he will only receive a painful outco."
Arine shook her head and said: "No, even so, I still want to try. I've co this far; I don't want to give up easily."
"Pope, you once said… love knows no class or status, right?"
"That's right." The Pope nodded: "However, your and his status are extrely special."
"What do you an…"
The Pope sighed: "What I an is... you are destined to beco another man's woman. That is the child of the world's will, and he... he is not the child of the world's will; he is just an ordinary person."
"So what?" Arine frowned. She suddenly changed emotions so quickly that it was dizzying: "My destiny, I will hold it in my hands. I don't care what trash the child of the world's will is. "
"I only know one thing… I like Lathel, and I will definitely stay by his side forever."
After Arine finished speaking, she imdiately left. The Pope stood still and sighed: "This world seems crazy. Could it be… that I was wrong?"
"The child of the world's will is like a devil, the one who carries the apocalyptic trumpet acts like a hero."
"What should we do?"
…
Lathel had many thoughts in his mind, and he also felt tired.
After seeing many mories from the world where he helped Dandite fix the bug, his emotions and personality also changed a lot.
Lathel sat in the carriage and looked into the distance as he questioned the significance of his existence in this world.
While he was thinking, the carriage returned to the castle.
BAM!
As soon as he got out of the carriage, a ray of light flashed, flew straight into the sky, and then exploded.
The fireworks were very beautiful, like a flower with various colours, making him a bit surprised.
"That is…" Lathel looked at the sky and muttered.
"Congratulations on your return, Young Master."
The voices of many maids rang out in unison. Lathel looked into the distance, at the main gate of the castle.
There, the maids stood on both sides. In the middle, a woman he was very familiar with stood there, holding a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
"Akna…" Lathel muttered.
Seeing Akna, suddenly another mory appeared in his mind.
He rembered when he was still living on earth, on his birthday.
However, his work was too much, and his wife at the ti was dating soone else behind his back, so it seed like no one rembered his birthday.
Lathel didn't care too much; for him, birthdays were just an anniversary that brought people closer to the scythe of death.
That evening, after 11 p.m., there was a knock on the door. His female secretary entered his office, holding a bouquet of flowers in one hand and carrying a birthday cake in the other.
"Happy birthday, director."
"Welco back, Master." Akna spoke, pulling Lathel's mind back to reality.
He looked at Akna, and suddenly he felt that Akna was very similar to his secretary, who was on Earth.
Akna walked up to him, looked at him, and smiled. Her eyes contained countless emotions that seed to be on the verge of exploding.
He bowed his head and asked softly: "Why did you give flowers?"
"Why can't I give flowers?"
"I am a man."
"Why can't n receive flowers?"
"Because… I…"
"People often say that the only ti a man receives a bouquet of flowers is when he dies." Akna smiled and said: "However... master, I want to give you flowers to let you know that... I'm still here; I can always give you flowers."
Lathel realised one thing... Akna was actually his female secretary.
Since he knew that Arine had overco the barrier of two worlds to et him, he easily accepted Akna.
After all, she had pursued him in her previous life and didn't even hesitate to call herself the third wheel. Even though she was rejected by him many tis, she still tried to love him.
That touched him.
Lathel smiled and said softly: "Thank you, Akna. No, to be more precise…Kanae."
Akna was startled; her eyes opened wide, and tears suddenly flowed out.
Lathel gently wiped Akna's tears: "Don't cry, in this place, there won't be any barriers anymore."
Akna bit her lip and nodded: "Uhm! I already know. But don't call Kanae; now I'm Akna. I will be your maid and your woman."
When Akna heard Lathel say her true na when she was still alive on Earth, she knew… Lathel recognised her true identity.
"This is a new world; we are new people. I approached you... because I really love you, not with any other intentions."
"Director, no, master. Will you accept my love?"
Lathel nodded slightly: "Of course. In this place, we don't have any ethical barriers at all. Just… do you accept that I have many won?"
Akna shook her head: "Compared to losing you forever, this is just a small thing. Just being able to be by your side, receiving your love… that's enough."
Lathel patted Akna's head as if he were seeing his female secretary. At that ti, he also liked her, but because he was a married man, he could not accept her feelings.
In this world, polygamy was widely accepted.
As long as Akna accepts that, it's fine.
What if Akna didn't accept? Lathel didn't know what to do either; he just thought that he would try convincing her.
However, Akna exceeded his expectations by easily accepting this; maybe... she loved him more than he thought.
"Okay…" Akna happily pushed the bouquet of flowers into Lathel's hand: "Let's start the party first; we will talk again. Everyone is waiting for us."
"Ah! Where is Ryne?" Lathel suddenly rembered sothing and asked.
"That…" Akna didn't know how to answer and finally found a basic reason: "She's busy; she'll co soon."
"I know." Lathel nodded and smiled.
"Fuxian…" Catheryne sighed: "You deal with today's matters first; I will co back tomorrow."
…
"Ah! Queen, you... you can't throw away like this." Fuxian cried while kneeling on the ground, bowing her head, and speaking.
Catheryne gritted her teeth; she knew that Lathel didn't like partying with nobles so she just held it normally and she planned to use her identity as Ryne to attend the party at the castle with Lathel.
In the end... before she could leave, Fuxian blocked her way, crying and holding her back.
"Fuxian…" Catheryne sighed: "You deal with today's matters first; I will co back tomorrow."
"But… you have been saying that since seven days ago." Fuxian cried as she spoke.
Catheryne: "…"
Catheryne blushed with embarrassnt, trying to find a reason: "This... today is the last ti, the last ti, hahahaha..."
"Queen, I haven't bathed in seven days, and I haven't even had a proper al or a good night's sleep." Fuxian said sadly.
"Okay, tomorrow I will give you leave, okay?"
"No! Queen, I want to go to the party with you tonight."
Catheryne: "…"
Finally, Catheryne sighed: "Okay! You can follow , but don't let anyone know."
"Hehehehe…" Fuxian quickly wiped her tears, then sneaked out of the palace with Catheryne.
"Queen, where are you going?"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, startling Ryne: "I... wait!"
She was about to say sothing when she suddenly rembered that she was now Ryne, not Catheryne.
"You…"
"Hahaha… Queen, don't worry." A woman stepped out of the darkness, wearing light armour and brown hair. On her face was a cheerful smile, which was a bit mysterious.
"Ah! What…what are you talking about?" Ryne tried to look worried: "I'm not the queen, you..."
"Okay, you don't need to hide it."
Hearing that, Ryne sighed and said: "Captain Laura, what do you want?"
Laura shrugged, bowed her head, and said: "Queen, I just want to go with you to the party with Lathel."
"You…" Hearing that, Ryne frowned as she looked at Laura in confusion.
"Lathel is my boyfriend; it's normal for to visit him, right?"
Ryne: "…"
