Chapter 174 Do you consider me a pillow?

***

Hearing that, Lathel frowned. He felt that what he heard from Moharo was completely different from what he knew and what Radius had told him.

'Could it be that the rules have been temporarily changed?'

He didn't know why this happened, but it seemed like this problem didn't affect him too much.

Lathel silently remembered that Radius had told him that it would be safer for him to just go to the east and that the monsters there were also very weak.

He glanced at Claire, then sighed and said: "Claire, you should remember to go to the east area."

"Heh?!" Claire tilted her head to look at him and asked: "Why?"

"Because I heard from a friend that that place is safer and the monsters there are weaker than other places."

Hearing Lathel's words, Claire nodded, and admiration filled her eyes as she looked at him: "Thank you, Lathel. Thanks for sharing such important information with a servant like me."

"Okay, no need to thank me. When I have nowhere to go, I hope you can support me." Lathel said teasingly.

Hearing that, Claire immediately became serious, as she thought of a very bright future.

She thought of a future where Lathel was kicked out of the Duchess's castle, and she rode in a luxurious carriage to pick him up.

Then they... they...

Claire didn't dare to think anymore, her face turned red, her whole body became hotter, and she started trembling.

Lathel didn't pay attention to Claire's expression at this time, he was just secretly hoping that when he teleported to the 'Black Bone' forest, he wouldn't have to face Alec or Harris.

Moharo, who was on the stone platform, started muttering some strange language.

A moment later, he raised his hand, and countless beams of light shot out from the centre of the shining magic circle on the stone platform.

Those beams of light rushed towards the people standing in the yard, waiting.

When the beam of light reached Lathel and Claire, Claire moved closer towards him,and held his hand tightly.

Lathel was caught off guard and looked towards her, but before he could say anything, the light enveloped them inside.

When that light disappeared, everyone in the yard also disappeared.

...

In the monitoring room, Farmyrth smiled happily and said: "Emperess, this second round of competition will be shown live to the high-ranking nobles and royal families of the surrounding kingdoms. If you don't like it, I can..."

"No need!" Catheryne said softly: "It's also good for them to look closely at the process."

"I want them to see what the young generation of the Karol Empire will be like."

Hearing that, Farmyrth bowed his head and replied: "Yes, but... as far as I know, among the participants in this entrance exam, there are many candidates who are spies of other influences."

"I'm afraid they will try to destroy our geniuses in this round."

Catheryne shook her head and said: "No need to worry. The people entering this competition are all under level 30, and those spies also have the highest level of only 30."

"If those so-called 'geniuses' can't survive against such low-level spies, then they don't deserve to live."

BAM!

A loud noise rang out, as if some glass object had just broken.

"That bitch Catheryne thinks her little Empire can withstand the fury of the Church?"

The kneeling woman trembled, then softly said: "Holy Lady, there is something the Pope wants me to tell you."

"Hm?! Pope?" The saintess asked, a little surprised.

"That's right. The Pope said... We must not interfere in the world of ordinary people."

The Saintess was silent for a moment when she heard that, then a burst of laughter like a silver bell rang out: "Hahahaha... hahahahaha..."

"Very good! Very good! Okay, I know, you can go."

"Yes, Holy Maiden."

After that woman left, the Saintess's voice rang out again: "Catheryne, you can protect him for a year, ten years, but can you protect him forever? Hahahaha...."

...

Lathel slowly opened his eyes and saw a sky full of stars but no moon.

He was now lying on the grass. On top of him was Claire, who seemed to be unconscious as she laid her head on his chest.

Lathel: "..."

"Um..." Claire moaned softly, even rubbing her head against his chest like a kitten.

"Oy! Do you think of me as a body pillow?"

Claire was immediately startled when she heard Lathel's voice, her eyes widening. However, she greedily touched his sides a bit, then helped him slowly sit up.

"I... I'm sorry. I don't understand why I'm lying on top of you." Claire said shyly, however, she felt a little nostalgic as she was missing lying on his chest.

'Very warm, very secure, I really want to lie down a little longer.'

'Ah! I wonder if he thinks I'm a bad girl?'

...

BAM!

Amleth sat in the room, and her hand holding the glass of wine immediately crushed it.

"Hahahaha..." Farmyrth laughed loudly: "Amleth, look at your little man being harassed by another woman."

"A! She even lay on top of him, touched him, and rubbed his chest, that feeling must have been very comfortable, right?"

"Ah! Sorry, I think you probably haven't even touched him yet. Sorry, but I find it very funny, hahahaha..."

Amleth glanced at Farmyrth, her eyes filled with murderous intent as if she wanted to tear Farmyrth into a million pieces: "If you want to die, I will let you die in the most painful way, Principal Farmyrth."

"Want me to die? You can try." Farmyrth said, her voice carrying provocation.

"Enough!" Catheryne shouted: "One is the principal of the magic academy, the other holds the empire's finances in his hands. You two quarrelled over such a man, don't you feel ashamed?"

Amleth gritted her teeth, glanced at Catheryne, then bowed her head and said softly: "I'm sorry, Queen, I lost a bit of control."

"Hehehe... Love is a wonderful thing." Farmyrth glanced at Catheryne,looked back at Amleth, and then teasingly said: "Even if I'm embarrassed, I still want to try loving a man, to know what it feels like."

Farmyrth said as she licked her lips, her expression filled with greed, as she looked towards Amleth.
