Chapter 242 Why are you crying?

At midnight, the party finally came to an end. Lathel carried Charlotte, who was about to fall asleep, to a special room that Ryne had prepared.

He also felt that Ryne was very thoughtful. At first, he thought that she knew Charlotte's identity as a vampire; however, she just thought that Charlotte was poisoned by some kind of poison, and that's why she slept so much.

After all, in this Empire, there were a few people who suffered from strange diseases that could not be cured, so Charlotte's problem did not make her too suspicious.

Even the daughter of Count Bourban had the same symptoms as Charlotte. However, the other girl had been sleeping for many years, while Charlotte could occasionally wake up.

Speaking of Count Bourban's daughter, Lathel remembered the invitation Straghor had given him to come and treat her.

However, he didn't care too much. If Count Bourban's daughter was really an event for Alec, then Alec would definitely appear at the right time.

Otherwise, Lathel could also wait until she couldn't stand it anymore and then go and save her.

Lathel carried Charlotte in her arms and went to a rather special room. This room had only one bed and quite a few windows.

He gently placed her on the bed, but Charlotte opened her eyes, startling him: "Charlotte, you..."

"Lathel... Will you wait for me?" This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Hearing Charlotte's question, he smiled and said: "Of course, we have a contract with each other; besides... I also want to see how beautiful you will be when you grow up."

Charlotte nodded, then... she suddenly hugged his neck and offered her small and soft lips.

Lathel was really surprised, he didn't think that a naive and stupid girl like Charlotte could do this.

However, he did not resist; on the contrary, he was the one who took the initiative, as he attacked the inside of her mouth.

Charlotte looking like a 10-year-old actually made him a little worried, but her real age was much more than 1,000.

Charlotte's small mouth also responded awkwardly as she gently sucked Lathel's tongue.

A moment later, the two separated, Charlotte looked at him with dreamy eyes and said: "Lathel... you... wait for me. Next time, I will... be more mature."

"Uhm! I will wait for you."

As soon as Lathel finished speaking, Charlotte slowly closed her eyes, and her breathing entered a stable state.

At this moment, he knew that Charlotte had completely fallen asleep. He sighed, gently covered her with the blanket, kissed her forehead, and left the room.

Outside, Akna was waiting for him. Seeing him leave the room, she immediately bowed her head and said: "Young master, don't worry, the other maids will protect and take care of her."

"Uhm! Thank you."

"Young master, there is no need to thank me, this is what I need to do." Akna replied: "Besides... Master is waiting for the young master in his private room."

"I know."

Lathel followed Akna, and as they were moving through the dark hallway, Akna suddenly spoke: "Young master, thank you for today's meal."

"Hm?! There's no need to thank me, I need to thank you and everyone else." Lathel smiled and said, "Hopefully you guys can take care of Charlotte if I'm not here."

"Yes, that is my responsibility and everyone's. Besides..." Akna suddenly stopped walking; she turned her head and stared at him, making him a little embarrassed: "Young master, when will you have a girlfriend?"

"Or is..."

"Oy! I know what you're thinking." Lathel said uncomfortably. He shook his head and sighed: "I like women; however, I'm a bit picky, as it's not everything I can eat."

Hearing that, Akna stared at him. After a moment, she nodded and said: "Yes, young master. If you need to solve the problem of 'that' then call me anytime you want."

Lathel: "..."

"Mom, do you like to eat this dish?"

"Mon, are you tired?"

"Let me massage your shoulders."

"You must eat on time; don't skip any meals, understand?"

"Why do you always care so much about work? You have to take time to care for yourself too."

"Mom... sorry, did I do something wrong? Why did you leave?"

"I... sorry. Thank you for adopting me, mom."

"Ryne!" Suddenly, Lathel's voice rang out, causing Ryne to return to reality.

He looked at her with worried eyes: "Are you okay?"

"Ah! I... I'm fine."

"So... why are you crying?"

Ryne heard that and touched her eyes, her tears were dripping. Although there were not many tears, it was enough for Lathel to see that she seemed to have something difficult to say.

She smiled, her smile carrying a bit of pain and nostalgia: "Lathel, can you hold my hand for a bit?"

Lathel didn't hesitate, he immediately used both of his hands to hold her chubby hand.

Even though her hands were very large, her skin was very soft, like a baby's skin.

"Don't you hate me?"

"Why do I hate you?" Lathel asked confusedly.

"Because... my appearance, I..."

"No, you are very beautiful." Lathel said smiling.

"You don't have to lie. Even if you tell the truth, I won't be angry with you."

Lathel shook her head: "No, I'm telling the truth. Ryne, people are judged by two characteristics: appearance and personality."

"Appearance can help you win the sympathy of others the moment you meet. But if your personality is not good, no one will want to continue to see you or interact with you."

"And if your personality is good but you don't have beauty, perhaps at first they will be a little worried and uncomfortable when interacting with you."

"But... in the long run, people will realise that being with you is more comfortable than being with someone with a bad personality."

Hearing that, Ryne also held Lathel's hand tightly, her face showed nostalgia, accompanied by a slight blush as if she were drunk.

"Besides..." Lathel suddenly continued: "It seems like you've lost a bit of weight too, right?"

"Ah! That's right. How did you find out?" Ryne was a bit surprised, she also didn't think Lathel could find out about this: "I... lost 3kg."

Lathel nodded: "Uhm! I also realized that. Great, this is a good start."

"How did you notice?" Ryne asked confusedly.

"Ah! Because the fat around your neck area is slightly reduced, the dress you wear also appears to be about 0.7 mm looser. Especially the waist, it is no longer so tight that it looks like the dress is about to tear."

Ryne: "..."
