Chapter 179 Will he hate me?

Chapter 179 Will he hate me?

?In the middle of the night, the atmosphere became increasingly heavy and dark, and on the ground, countless cuts and burns were everywhere.

Alec and Harris fought for a long time, but in the end, they still couldn't decide the winner.

Both of them were breathing heavily and looking at each other with caution.

Alec frowned, while mentally cursing: 'Does this bastard have unlimited stamina? Why doesn't my Black Rose Flame have any effect on him?'

Medos seemed to know what Alec was thinking and spoke up: "Like I said, his talent and sword are very strange. It seems to be able to cut off your energy source, so your skills cannot fully utilise its inherent power."

"You should be careful. Although he doesn't have much combat experience, he is extremely well-trained, so his foundation is much stronger than yours."

Hearing that, Alec felt extremely angry. After all, he is a male protagonist, so how can the main character's foundation be weaker than others?

Harris was also starting to get exhausted at this point. He didn't think that even though Alec looked like he was from a low-class background, he had extremely rich fighting experience.

There were even a few times when he almost suffered many disadvantages when fighting Alec.

"Hahaha..." Harris laughed loudly: "Do you think I have enough qualifications to cooperate with you?"

Alec frowned: "Do you really want to kill Lathel?"

"Of course!"

Hearing Harris's response, Alec withdrew his sword, then shook his head and sighed: "I can't help you."

Hearing this, Harris felt strange and immediately asked: "Why?"

"Because I was tricked by him into signing a peace contract, I cannot harm him." Alec sighed and said: "Besides, this contract was created by my teacher, the Fifth Elder of the Enchanter Tower, so I cannot break it."

"Ah! It seems... you are also his victim."

"That's right." Alec gritted his teeth and said: "He always acts kind, but that's just a cover for his lies and corruption."

"I saw his true face, it's just... The people around him are stupid,?and no one believes that he is a liar."

"I also really want to cooperate with you, however... Sorry."

"It's okay..." Harris also put his sword back, smiled, and said: "You and he only signed a peace contract, but he and I did not. Of course, if you can't deal with him, you can deal with his friends."

"Hm?! What do you mean..." Alec frowned.

Harris continued: "A successful play is one with many actors doing well in their roles."

"Lathel can lie successfully because behind him there are many other people helping him, making his lies more believable."

"I'm in charge of dealing with Lathel, and you... you're in charge of cutting off his relationship with his friends."

"So, we all achieve the goal we want. It's just... I'm going the straight way, and you're using a longer road."

Alec smiled with excitement. "Your plan seems very interesting, so... happy cooperation."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand. Seeing that, Harris also reached out and shook hands with him: "Happy cooperation."

Although the two of them shook hands, in their hearts, they were both thinking about how to destroy each other after killing Lathel.

Alec and Harris withdrew their hands.

At this time, Alec spoke up: "What are you going to do next?"

"We are still too weak right now." Harris shook his head and said, "I plan to practice patiently for the time being, I'll wait until I have enough strength and power, and then take revenge."

"No problem." Lathel glanced at Claire, shrugged, and said: "A good night's sleep is also very effective in helping us restore our health and spirit."

"Anyway, there was nothing special or dangerous yesterday, so I was able to sleep a little, don't worry."

"Sleep?!" Claire was startled and asked: "You... what do you mean... you slept outside?"

"That's right." He said as he pointed his chin towards a small log near the tent: "I laid my head on that log and slept from midnight until morning."

Claire opened her mouth, unable to believe what Lathel was saying.

A nobleman, a Duke, slept on the grass and rested his head on a log.

And she, an ordinary servant, slept in a safe tent, lying on a soft mattress and covered with a warm blanket.

Is the world crazy, or is she crazy?

"Lathel, you... aren't you angry?"

Hearing that, Lathel frowned, feeling confused: "Why would I be angry? I also don't want to let a beautiful girl like you sleep outside."

Claire was startled, as she stared at Lathel, she was speechless and her whole body trembled.

Her heart was beating like a war drum, her face was red, and her eyes were wet as if she were about to cry.

'Why... Why are you so good?'

'Why in this world is there such a blinding light like you?'

Claire placed her hand on her chest, clenched her teeth, and tried to stop tears from flowing. She then silently swore in her heart: 'Lathel, I like you. I won't give up, I swear, I will try my best to be able to stand by your side, I'll make sure I'm suitable for you.'

Lathel turned around and said: "Breakfast is finished, can you... heh?!"

He saw Claire's expression and was startled: "You... what are you doing?"

Claire quickly shook her head: "No, I'm just wondering why you're so good."

"Lathel... what if... what if I like you?You... would you hate me?"

Lathel: "..."

He felt shocked and he did not know how to answer Claire.

Lathel felt that Claire was very serious, but remembering what she had said, he found it hard to believe her.

Suddenly, he remembered that Claire had gone through an extremely painful past, which made him think of something.

Upon seeing that Lathel did not answer, Claire began to feel worried.

'Will he hate me?'

'After all I'm just a servant, how could he like me?'

'I'm so stupid, why did I say that?'

'But I do not regret it. Even if he hates me, I still spoke my mind.'

Lathel approached, patted Claire on the shoulder, and said: "Sit down, I want to tell you something."

"Heh?!" Claire was a bit surprised, but did as Lathel said.

As Lathel athel sat across from Claire, he felt pity for her. He sighed and began to speak: "Claire, you rarely eat anything sweet, so when you taste honey, you think that only honey is sweet."

"You can't think that because someone treats you well that person is the only one who will treat you well in this World."

"Don't keep that notion. Women who easily trust people who treat them nicely are easily hurt and deceived in love."
