Chapter 158 Malina's plan
Suddenly, a voice rang out. Lathel turned his head and immediately saw Claire; however, a second later, he turned to face the other direction.
"You… change your clothes first and then continue."
Hearing Lathel's words, Claire looked back at her clothes. It was torn in many places, moreover, her thighs and chest were exposed, especially the chest, revealing a somewhat adorable pink bra.
Claire immediately covered her chest with both hands, her face turning red. She glanced at Lathel, then bowed her head, smiling shyly: 'Could it be that… Has he seen it yet?'
'If he saw it… then... Did he like it? Or does he not like this color?'
'Maybe he doesn't like it, after all, pink is too childish; what girl would wear pink?'
Although Lathel saw Claire's bra, she didn't seem angry at all. On the contrary, she felt a little embarrassed. Besides, she felt a little disappointed.
Claire thought that if she had known that something like this would happen, she would definitely have worn other, sexier, more mature lingerie.
She followed a maid into the castle to change clothes.
Lilith glanced at Lathel and pouted: "Huh! You dare to seduce my student; later, I will..."
"Alright!" Lathel quickly stopped: "Isn't that enough for you to beat her and tear her clothes?"
Lilith looked at Lathel: "Hm… Do you want to look? If you want, I will…"
"No!" Lathel said calmly.
"Huhuhuh… Am I not attractive?"
Lathel sighed: "I've told you many times. Lilith, you must cherish your body and not let others see it, understand?"
"Uhm! I understand!"
He continued: "Your body can only be seen and touched by the person you love."
"Heh?! But… you looked at me and touched me…" Lilith said shyly. She covered her face with her hands, but her ears could still be seen turning red.
Lathel: "…"
He frowned, revealing his disdain: "Please!!! It's because you asked me to massage you, that's why..."
"But you can also refuse. But you didn't refuse, that means you also want to touch my body, right?" Lilith's hands were on her hips; she puffed out her chest and spoke with great confidence.
Lathel gritted his teeth, his face showing a painful smile as he thought: 'Why are you so smart right now?'
"You… you…" Lathel stammered, not knowing how to explain.
"Young master!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out next to him. A maid appeared, bowed her head, and said: "Young master, Miss Amleth sent you a bouquet of roses."
As soon as she finished speaking, another maid held a bouquet of 10 delicately arranged roses.
In the middle of that bouquet was a very special sunflower, radiating yellow light.
Lathel frowned. He didn't even look at the bouquet of flowers. He immediately said in annoyance: "Throw it away."
"Yes!" The two maids felt a bit strange. They, of course, knew who Amleth was and what she meant by giving the rose to their young master.
However, this was the young master's order, so the maids could only do what Lathel said.
Just as the two maids turned around and were about to leave, Lathel spoke again: "Wait!"
"Yes, young master, are you going to accept this bouquet of flowers?" That maid spoke up.
Lathel shook her head: "No, you'd better burn it. Remember, don't inhale the scent of the flowers; don't also let the pollen or thorns of the roses prick your hands."
"Okay, let's burn it. Besides, if there is anything from Amleth in the future, just burn it or throw it somewhere far away, as far away as possible."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, signaling that he didn't care.
The two maids looked at each other when they heard that, then bowed their heads in response and left with the bouquet of flowers.
Lilith was also confused and asked: "Oy! My student Amleth, why did she give you gifts?"
Lathel shrugged, indicating that he himself did not understand: "How should I know? You should rather ask your student."
"Besides…" Lilith tilted her head, looked at the two maids carrying the beautiful bouquet of flowers to burn, and asked in confusion: "Why do you want to burn that bouquet?"
Lathel shook his head: "Lilith, how long have you been Amleth's teacher?"
"Hm…" Lilith tilted her head in thought: "About… 170 years."
"170 years?" Lathel was startled, but when he thought about the lifespan of the inhabitants of this world, he felt that it was normal: "Over the past 170 years, do you know what her personality is like?"
Lilith scratched her head and said embarrassedly: "Hehehe... I don't want to hide it from you either, in fact, the number of times I see Amleth is very few."
"Heh?! What do you mean..." He asked in confusion.
She nodded and said: "At first, she wanted to become my student. At that time, I had no intention of accepting anyone as a student. However, she allowed me to study in peace and do whatever I liked, so…"
Lilith smiled shyly, and Lathel also realized that she accepted Amleth as a student just because she wanted to get the benefits that Amleth brought.
However, the strange thing is, why did Amleth want to become Lilith's student?
You must know that with Amleth's identity, she can let even the owner of the Enchanter Tower be her tutor, and she doesn't need to become anyone's student.
"Besides…" Lilith continued: "Amleth doesn't seem to need me to teach her, she only occasionally asks a few questions, then leaves."
Lathel tilted her head to look at Lilith, then sighed and said: "Amleth... seems to be plotting something."
"Don't think too much." Lilith laughed and said: "Hahaha… I feel like she really likes you. Don't worry, although I am you and Amleth's teacher, I can help you and her get together."
Lathel: "…"
'I thank you, I thank your entire family.'
"Alright!" He sighed and said: "I don't need it, besides... if you can control her, then tell her to stop bothering me."
"Hm…" Lilith gave Lathel a puzzled look, but she didn't ask anything more.
"Sorry…" Claire came out, now wearing a new maid outfit: "Sorry for making you wait so long, Master Lathel."
Lathel frowned and asked: "What did you just call me?"
"Teacher… Lathel…" Claire bowed her head and stammered.
He sighed and replied: "There's no need to call me teacher. I won't teach you anything anyway. You just call me Lathel."
"But… I'm just a servant, a servant can't call a noble's name."
"I don't care if you're a servant or a beggar." Lathel shrugged: "I will allow you to call me Lathel. You can call me Lathel, understand?"
Claire pursed her lips, bowed her head, and her face turned a little red: "So... Lathel."
Although she was a little embarrassed, Claire was extremely happy, she felt the distance between her and Lathel get a little closer.
What's more important is…
'Lathel… he's so warm. It seems he doesn't despise me because I'm a servant.'
'So... Do I have a chance?'
'No! No! No! Why would I think of that?'
She immediately threw out the strange thoughts in her head.
"Um!" Lathel nodded and asked: "Do you have something to tell me?"
Claire gritted her teeth, feeling a bit embarrassed, and said: "Sorry, Lathel. I… I can't stop Malina."
"Since you saved her, both she and Mardian think that the person who saved her was Alec. That's why Malina is crazy, and she wants to take revenge on Anela."
Lathel nodded. He knew Anela was Mardian's first wife; after all, when Malina was injured, Claire told him about the situation in the Montague family.
"Will Mardian remain silent? Anela is his wife, won't he protect his wife?" Lathel frowned and asked.
Claire shook her head: "In fact, although Anela is Mardian's wife, Anela's family is sinking deeper and deeper into the Montague family, making Mardian uncomfortable."
"He wants to destroy Anela's entire family to purify his Montague family. Anyway… Mardian is what he is today thanks to his wife, so of the number of elders in the Montague family, more than 70% are from his wife's family.."
Lathel felt a bit of a headache. Family fights and political fights were the things he found most uncomfortable and confusing.
When he was still in the orphanage, even though the children there were not all born to the same parents, they were very united with each other.
But it didn't seem to happen in noble or rich families.
Lathel shook her head and said: "I don't care about your family's fighting, let's get to the main issue."
Claire pursed her lips, thought for a moment, then said: "Malina… she… she wants to approach you."
"Hm?! Why?"
Claire sighed: "It's because Malina thinks Alec is unreliable. Even though I said Alec was the one who saved her, she didn't want to take the risk and bet all the money on Alec."
"That's why she wanted a backup plan. And this backup plan could not be worse than Alec."
Lathel smiled disdainfully: "What does Malina mean… Am I her backup plan?"
Hearing that, Claire immediately knelt on the ground: "Lathel, I… I know what Malina did was wrong. You saved me and Malina, but she doesn't know that."
"Lathel… please, I will definitely not harm you, I will stop her. Please give me more time..."
Lathel looked at Claire, who was kneeling on the ground and constantly begging. He felt a bit tired as he watched her.
He just wants a peaceful life, was that too much?
Why does every problem keep finding him as if he were a trouble magnet?
"Alright." He gently said: "Get up, did Malina say what her plan is?"
Claire nodded, slowly stood up, and said: "Malina currently has no specific plans. But she is trying to find support within the family thanks to Alec."
"It seems…Alec will enter Karol Magic Academy so he can find more allies."
"Mardian has also prepared for Alec to shine inside the magic academy."
"However, since yesterday, Alec hasn't appeared, there is news that he left the Enchanter Tower after receiving the 'daisy' treatment for the second time."
Lathel nodded. Suddenly, he remembered something and immediately shouted: "Wait! Are you saying...Alec's 'daisy' is torn again?"
Claire nodded slightly.
Lathel: "…"
