"Lathel?!" Lafien turned her head when she heard the familiar voice, a happy smile appearing on her thin face.
"You've gotten a lot thinner than before." Lathel said as he noticed that Lafien was actually quite thin.
Her cheeks were no longer as plump as before, revealing high cheekbones; her eyes were slightly dark, her hands were clearly skinny, and her skin was pale like an anaemic patient.
Lafien forced a smile: "This… I… haven't had much of an appetite lately, so…"
"Are you having problems? Or is this place making you uncomfortable?"
"That…" Lafien heard Lathel ask, feeling a little warm in his heart: "No, I still feel fine. It's just… Lathel, will you… forgive ?"
Lafien asked, and she raised her head to look at him; her eyes carried a kind of expectation, also mixed with a bit of worry.
Lathel smiled reassuringly at her: "I have never forgiven you…"
Lafien was startled, her emotions suddenly surging like a volcano.
"Because I don't feel you're at fault," Lathel continued.
"Ah! That…" Lafien was taken from one surprise to another by Lathel, her eyes carrying a hint of joy: "Thank you, Lathel."
"Alright, I have another matter to discuss with you this ti. Lafien, do you want to return to the church?" Lathel suddenly asked.
Lafien bowed her head in silence; after a while, she replied: "I… can return to the church? You also know that I am a half-vampire; will the Church accept soone like ?"
Lathel heard that and also realized that Lafien's situation seed to be worse than he thought.
However… he seed to have found so thod: "Don't worry; I have a way to help you."
"Heh?!"
…
At the royal palace, Lathel and Lafien stood in the main hall. On the throne was Catheryne; however, there was no one else in this place besides them.
"This ti going to the church, you not only carry the great responsibility of the Empire, but you are also the representative of this Empire." Catheryne frowned and said: "Even so, I still hope you don't feel pressured."
"If the church oppresses you, leave; this empire and I will always welco you back as a true hero."
'Aww!!!' Catheryne, although serious and majestic on the outside, was crying loudly in her heart: 'My son… he has to go to the church; I cannot follow him…'
Hearing this, Lathel felt even more pressure. This ti, he not only had to confront the Church and the Pope, but there were also many dangers that he did not know about.
"Besides…" Catheryne continued, waving her hand.
A group of soldiers escorted Ikarys into the main hall; Lathel was startled when he saw this scene.
Didn't Ikarys escape? Why is he still here? Could it be… Catheryne has successfully captured him?
Lafien also opened her mouth wide at this mont; of course she knew who Ikarys was; after all, he had often helped her before.
She just wondered… Why was he here and why was he imprisoned?
Since Lafien had been imprisoned for a long ti, she wasn't up to date with many things, and she didn't even know what happened during the 'Genius Convention'.
She looked at Lathel; he sighed and said: "It's a long story. I'll tell you when we get on the road."
Lafien obediently nodded; at this mont, it seed like she had completely transford into a different person.
She was no longer impulsive. At this mont, she was like a little cat, just sitting still and waiting for orders from Lathel.
When Ikarys saw Lafien, his eyes lit up: 'My mission!'
Yes, Lafien was the main mission that the System had given him.
Because he couldn't solve Lafien's mission, he didn't receive any additional rewards from the system and was eventually trapped in this place, unable to escape.
Is Lafien important?
Of course, that was also the reason he ventured into the Karol Empire to find her.
But… fuck! Ikarys never thought that Lafien would be imprisoned for using illegal drugs.
What kind of nonsense is this?
But the one who imprisoned her was Laura, so Ikarys could do nothing but persuade Laura.
You must know that Laura is just a fake identity; Laura's real identity is the 'Sword of Justice', She is the terror of many kingdoms and even ancient clans.
Even the Pope didn't want to confront her, so naturally, Ikarys didn't dare to snatch Lafien from Laura's hands.
But Ikarys' mission was to make Lafien admire and secretly love him; if it was before, it would have been a simple mission.
Now it's different; with his current situation, her not looking down on him is already the best thing for him.
Catheryne spoke up at this mont, interrupting Ikarys' train of thought: "Lathel, I hand you over to Ikarys; how you deal with him is up to you."
"No! I…"
SLAP!
The sound of a soldier's hand colliding with Ikarys' face rang out.
Ikarys was slapped so hard that his face was tilted to one side, and a tooth and hair flew out of his mouth.
The pain made him angry, but there was nothing he could do now.
'Damn it! Damn it! Lathel, I swear I will get revenge; I will pay you back a hundredfold for what you did today.'
Lathel felt Ikarys' murderous gaze but pretended not to care.
He was used to this anyway; even if Ikarys looked at him more often, it didn't scare him.
On the contrary, after Catheryne said so, Lathel suddenly thought of a thod that could erode Ikarys's male lead aura.
"So… Catheryne, can I bring him along to the church?"
Hearing Lathel say that, Catheryne and Ikarys were both a little surprised.
Catheryne looked at Lathel and asked softly, "You should know how dangerous what you are doing is."
"Of course, what I'm about to do is no different than releasing a tiger back into the wild." Lathel said with a smile: "However, I can guarantee that nothing will happen."
"Besides… there is one thing I hope you can agree to."
Catheryne nodded slightly: "Speak."
"That is… I want to bring two people, that is, my master, Lilith, and my friend, Rakka."
Catheryne imdiately agreed upon hearing this; she naturally knew who Lilith and Rakka were.
Besides, with Lilith following along, Lathel's safety would be guaranteed.
"Okay! Do you want to let Laura follow you?"
"That…" Lathel frowned, rembering Laura; he was afraid that letting her follow him would result in a battle with Lilith.
"No need! Just Lilith and Rakka will be enough." Lathel said with a smile.
He chose these two people for his own reasons.
First, Lilith was his master, soone who would never betray him, and besides, she was also very strong.
With her by his side, he could rest assured of his safety. Even if he was attacked, he could escape from the church.
What about Rakka?
Needless to say, he is the male lead, so having him follow is naturally to deal with the other male leads, especially Ikarys.
One possesses absolute power; the other possesses an absolute male lead aura. As long as these two people follow him, he no longer fears any danger.
…
A mont later, Rakka and Lilith entered the great hall; along with Lathel, they waited for the church people to co pick them up.
Of course, Rakka and Lilith had already agreed to follow Lathel, which was why things happened so quickly.
Rakka also wanted to go and see what kind of place the church was. Besides, he wanted to beco a god, so he had to go to a place with strong prayer energy to study.
The church was an ideal place for him to study, so he definitely wouldn't miss this opportunity.
Rakka glanced at Ikarys, his expression turning unpleasant.
"What's the matter?" Lathle noticed Rakka's gaze and imdiately asked.
"No, it's just… I feel like that brat makes feel uncomfortable, even though this is the first ti I've t him." Rakka crossed her arms and frowned.
'As expected… male leads can't live together.' Lathel thought to herself.
The male lead's enemy, besides the villain, is also another male lead.
However, in the novel, there will be no second male lead. But this world is very chaotic, as male and female leads appear as many as stars in the sky.
Of course, this world can only accommodate one male lead.
So what if two male leads et? They would confront each other.
'Bringing Rakka along was the best decision I ever made.' Lathel thought to himself.
He knew… that the journey from here to the church, and his stay at the church, would not be peaceful.
Surely Ikarys would not ekly accept being imprisoned like this.
So there is only one problem, and that is the problem from Ikarys.
But why would Lathel risk taking Ikarys back to the church?
Because he wanted to see… When faced with the benefits of developnt and the male lead's halo, how would the Church choose?
If they choose Ikarys, then Lathel will find a way to leave the church and discard the dicine formula he showed Lumiana earlier.
Anyway, he has many other formulas, and those formulas are many tis more effective than that formula.
So, all that remained was to wait and see what the Church would decide; no, to be more precise, he wanted to see what Lumiana would decide.
