Chapter 246 Lathel overthinking

"This..." Lathel hesitated; he really didn't want to compete with the male lead's event, but... he also couldn't see another person dying and not try to save them.

Lathel truly respected Bourban, and he felt that Count Bourban was a true man.

However, he also didn't want to get into too much trouble.

Lathel frowned, then ordered: "Akna, call Rolen here."

"Yes..." Akna nodded and left.

A moment later, Akna came carrying Rolen.

Rolen happily walked up to Lathel, smiled, and said: "Young master, hehehe..."

Lathel: "..."

'It seems this girl has truly considered herself my servant.'

He felt that if Alec found out about this, he would definitely peel off his skin and use it as a floor mat.

"Rolen, you only work here as a part-time worker. You should remember, your master is Alec."

Hearing Lathel's words, Rolen was startled; her eyes became wet, and she shouted: "Ah! Young master, do you want to chase me away?"

"Ack! No, what I mean is..."

"Hehehe... that's fine. Here, I can eat a lot of things I've never eaten before." Rolen smiled and said: "I can even eat freely; no one competes with me."

Seeing Rolen happy, he didn't want to say anything more.

Lathel sighed and said: "Okay, I have a mission for you. Rolen, go find Alec, and give him this letter."

"Duke Lathel." Straghor suddenly spoke: "This... this is not very good."

"No problem." Lathel clasped her hands and stopped Straghor's words: "I know what to do. I assure you, Alec will successfully treat Earl Bourban's daughter."

"If he fails, I will let my teacher, Fifth Elder Lilith, save her, okay?"

Hearing that, Straghor frowned and thought. Very quickly, he decided to nod and agree with Lathel's way of doing things.

"Good!" Lathel gave Rolen the letter of introduction that Straghor once gave him: "Give this letter to Alec; he will know what to do."

"If he asks where you got this letter from, tell him that you stole it from the Adventurer Quest Centre."

"If he asks what's inside, just say you don't know and that you've never seen it." This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

"If Alec doesn't ask, then keep quiet. Understand?"

"Ah! I... I understand." Rolen was startled and stared at Lathel.

He continued: "Ah! Before you leave, change into another outfit; don't let Alec know you're working as a servant here."

"If he asks where you've been lately, you'll say you were on a mission to upgrade his Adventurer ID card."

"I will give you a few gold coins as proof. If he asks for proof, take them out and give them to him, understand?"

"I... I understand." Rolen stammered in response.

"Good! Akna, take her to change into another set of clothes; use her old clothes or another cheap outfit; don't let Alec get suspicious." Lathel looked towards Akna and said.

Akna bowed her head and replied: "Yes, Young Master."

After Akna left with Rolen, Straghor did not want to stay here for long. He looked towards Lathel, smiled, and said: "Duke Lathel, if you need any information, please contact me; I will definitely not disappoint you."

"Ah! Even the mysteries in the Royal Family?" Lathel smiled and asked.

"Hm... That's okay, but it takes a lot of effort, and besides... even if you know about it, don't spread it outside, as there will be a lot of trouble coming your way."

Lathel: "..."

"AAA!!" Lathel was startled and shouted: "Why are you here?"

"Because you called me."

"What I mean is... I thought you just went out."

"If Young Master needs me, I will appear immediately."

Lathel: "..."

At this moment, he did not feel safe at all. And he could be sure that one of the three lipstick stains on his chest belonged to Akna.

Lathel shook his head, not wanting to think any more. He frowned and said: "From now on, Captain Laura is not allowed to enter our castle."

"Sorry, I can't do that."

"Why?"

"Because she is the captain of the security team. If you oppose her, she will cause trouble for Master Ryne's business."

Lathel frowned when he heard that. He didn't want to bother Ryne. Finally, he sighed and said: "Okay, then leave her alone. Anyway, I don't believe that Captain Laura has enough free time to come see me every day."

"Ah! Where is Lilith? I haven't seen her since this morning."

As soon as Lathel finished speaking, he felt Akna's gaze on his chest.

"Cough!" Lathel pretended to cough. He frowned and asked: "Oy! Did you hear what I asked?"

"Ah! In the morning, I saw her hastily leave your room, then disappear. She also didn't tell me anything, so I don't know where she is." Akna said, a little startled.

Lathel glanced at Akna, who seemed to be able to connect the information he knew and guess what happened.

"Ah! There is very interesting information in the newspaper today, young master. Do you want to see it?"

Hearing Akna's question, he felt a little curious: "Uhm!"

Akna gave him a newspaper, and on the first page was an extremely large headline: "Using 1,000,000 gold coins to buy a prostitute's first night, stupid or too rich?"

"Hm... 1,000,000 gold coins... Akna, is this a lot of money?" Lathel asked confusedly.

Akna shook her head: "No, Young Master. It's only a small amount of money, but it is a huge amount to buy a prostitute's first night."

"Normally, the price ranges from 10,000 to a maximum of 70,000 gold coins."

"Heh?! How do you know this?" Lathel looked at Akna and asked.

Akna smiled: "Because I need to know more information to serve Young Master."

Lathel: "..."

He continued reading this article. After a while, he opened his eyes wide as he saw Alec's picture in the newspaper: "What the hell is that? Alec?!"

Lathel was filled with disbelief. A male protagonist went into a brothel to buy a prostitute's first night.

He even used a price 10 times higher than normal to buy her first night.

Is this world crazy, or am I too backward?

'Wait!' Lathel suddenly thought of a common plot in novels: 'Perhaps... the prostitute that Alec bought the first night was definitely not an ordinary woman.'

'That's right, how could the male lead be so miserable that he would sleep with a prostitute? Surely that girl is no ordinary girl.'

'After buying her first night, he would discover that the girl was a princess or someone of high status.'

'What would happen next was... hm... that girl would admire Alec's talent and dignity and become his woman.'

'Of course, she also possesses some kind of special ability that can help Alec and make his future path brighter.'

Lathel sighed at this moment, feeling a little jealous: 'The male protagonist always meets good women wherever he goes, and I... am surrounded by strange women; when will I have a harem?'
