Chapter 142 Lathel and Charlotte.

\'If there are no good men, then... What about him?\'

Claire thought to herself, but Malina\'s words interrupted her train of thought.

"Where is Alec now?"

"He…" Claire didn\'t know how to answer. If she answered incorrectly, she was afraid that the story of Lathel saving them would be revealed.

But…Claire wanted to tell her the truth. She wanted Malina to see that there were still good men in this world.

"Tch!" Malina clicked her tongue and said: "Let him be; he\'s probably still in the Enchanter Tower\'s medical room."

"Damn it! Now I have to think of a way to take revenge on those bitches, otherwise, they will definitely find a way to continue harming me."

Malina said while gently biting her thumb. She stared at the ground as if she were thinking about something.

"What do you mean…" Claire thought about what happened yesterday and immediately said: "Anela and Mavis?"

"That\'s right, not only them but also that bastard, Madiam. They all have to die. If they don\'t die, the same thing will definitely repeat itself."

"But…" Claire listened to Malina and felt confused: "Your father, Mardian, brought you here to live, which also means that he values you."

"Could it be that… those people dare to break the rules of the Montague family and continue to harm you?"

Malina smiled disdainfully: "Claire, you are too naive. They will take revenge on us even more fiercely, but… the method will be different from before."

"Now, I think that bitch Anela really wants to kill me, she definitely wants to cut me into a million pieces."

"But we don\'t have Alec, he hasn\'t finished healing his ass yet. Now, we are still not out of danger, there is only one way..."

Malina suddenly glanced at Claire, she smiled and said: "Claire, you have great talent, however, I don\'t have enough resources for you to develop."

Claire slightly bowed her head: "Master, even so, I will stay by your side, forever loyal to you."

"Hahaha… Claire, I have a mission for you." Malina rubbed her chin and said: "Your talent is very good. You can find a teacher with high status. That way, you will be trained, and I will also be well protected."

Hearing that, Claire was extremely happy. This was because she was still looking for a reason to go to Lathel\'s house every day.

After all, Lilith had helped her become Lathel\'s student, and she didn\'t want to miss this opportunity to become stronger.

Yesterday\'s incident was a wake-up call; it showed that she needed more strength to be able to protect her master.

Thus, Malina can comfortably live in this place without worrying about anyone intending to harm her.

"Yes, master. I will definitely complete this and become stronger to protect you."

Seeing Claire so excited, Malina suddenly glanced at her with some incomprehensible emotions in her eyes.

Malina sighed: "Okay, you can go, I want to be alone."

"But…"

"Don\'t worry." She interrupted Claire\'s words: "For the time being, that bastard won\'t harm me. You should quickly find a teacher."

"Yes…" Claire nodded, then went out. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Malina lying on the bed.

Happiness could be seen in Claire\'s eyes as she looked at Malina for a few seconds and then left.

As soon as the door closed, Malina sighed: "In this world... there really is no good man..."

"Mom… is that true?"

"Is… is he a good man?"

"Mom… What should we do?"

…

In Mardian\'s private office, he sat on the sofa, enjoying a cup of hot tea.

In front of him, Marey bowed his head and said: "Master, I have placed Malina in the main house area, all benefits for her have been changed."

"Even though there were a few Elders who objected, when they learned that Malina\'s personal knight was a student of the Fifth Elder of the Enchanter Tower, no one spoke out against the decision."

"There are even… some elders who think that Malina\'s monthly benefits should be even higher."

After Marey finished speaking, he stood still and looked at Mardian.

Mardian did not rush to answer, he took a sip of hot tea, exhaled, and then said: "Those old men saw a little benefit and immediately rushed to fight like a group of hungry wolves... How funny." ."

Mardian gently placed the tea cup on the table, frowned, and asked: "You said that... ah, no, Claire said that the person who saved Malina was Alec?"

"That\'s right." Marey nodded: "No matter how I tried to ask, she would only answer that it was Alec, without saying anything more about the process."

Mardian nodded: "Anyway, Malina\'s injury requires a lot of rare medicinal herbs. I can even guess that Alec used the \'Reborn Bone Pill\'."

"Besides, to restore Malina\'s face back to its original state and make her even a little more beautiful than before, Alec must have some kind of mysterious magic. It\'s normal that he doesn\'t want people to know."

"The problem is… it seems that the conflict between him and Anela\'s family is not yet to the point where he can destroy that family on my behalf."

Mardian pondered. He lightly tapped his index finger on the table, and he looked into the distance as if thinking about something.

"We… need a trigger to make Alec completely side with us."

Marey frowned. He felt that the murderous aura surrounding Mardian had increased so much that it made him feel a bit cold.

Mardian took a deep breath and said: "There\'s only one day left until the magic student enrollment day, right?"

Marey nodded: "Yes, master. All students who want to join the magic academy must pass the academy\'s tests."

"However, people from large families do not need to take that exam."

Mardian smiled coldly: "Let Alec participate in that contest."

Marey frowned and said: "Master, it will be Mavis and Madiam... Wait, what do you mean..."

Mardian nodded: "Yes, after all, my lifespan is still quite long; it\'s just a few children. If they die, I can marry a few more wives and have a few more children."

Marey shivered when he heard Mardian\'s words, but he was only a servant and could only do as his master said.

"Yes, I understand."

…

On a bustling street, a man and a woman walked together. The man was dressed extremely luxuriously; his face was not too handsome, but it gave a feeling of comfort and gentleness.

The woman was like a porcelain doll, a masterpiece from a master sculptor. She was so small and adorable that it made the young men around her reveal the fatherly love that was hidden inside them.

They were like two bright stars; they were not too dazzling, but they attracted everyone\'s gaze.

That\'s right, it was Lathel and Charlotte.

Lathel noticed that Charlotte was still awake after a while, so he wanted to help her see more of this world.

However, throughout the process of walking on the street, Charlotte did not seem to feel interested at all.

She still looked at her surroundings curiously. However, she wasn\'t interested in anything.

It was like... she only wanted to admire everything from a distance instead of exploring.

Lathel felt strange, so he bowed his head and asked: "Charlotte, I see some beautiful things over there; do you want to buy them?"

Charlotte looked in the direction he was pointing, saw a jewelry store, and frowned.

In fact, the jewelry in the store was in line with the current trends, something that girls really like, but…

Charlotte lightly shook her head, and she continued to hold Lathel\'s hand while looking forward.

Lathel sighed. He thought that Charlotte would be very curious when visiting this city. Just based on her expressions when she first arrived here, he thought that she really wanted to see prosperity.

In the end, he was wrong.

So… what does Charlotte want?

He glanced at her, he really wanted to ask that question. However, asking her like that would be too rude.

He didn\'t even know the preferences of the girl who accompanied him and slept with him, so he had no reason to ask her.

While walking on the street, Lathel unconsciously held Charlotte\'s hand.

The two of them walked down the street while holding hands. The people who saw this did not bother them; they just left a space large enough for them to walk, as if they were admiring a work of art.

Suddenly, Lathel saw a place called "Karol Gemstone Library."

He frowned, held Charlotte\'s hand tightly, and asked: "Do you want to visit this place?"

Charlotte raised her head to look at Lathel, her eyes carrying gentleness and innocence as she spoke: "Wherever you go, I\'ll go..."

Lathel smiled, patted Charlotte\'s head, and then led her inside.

Of course, to get inside, you have to pay a pretty expensive price and prove your status is higher than the Viscount.

Inside the \'Karol Gemstone Library\', Lathel felt a bit startled because this place was actually a museum and not a library.

It was extremely luxurious and majestic. Brightly colored stones were placed everywhere, and they radiated a magical aura.

Charlotte was also a bit surprised, after all, she was a woman, and it was normal for women to have a strong love for gems.

Lathel walked and looked around, suddenly, a middle-aged man appeared and approached him.

"This is my first time meeting you, Duke. My name is Kiin, and I am the main manager of this library."

Looking at the middle-aged man with a bit of fat, his face carrying a kind and friendly look, Lathel also nodded and smiled.

"My name is Lathel." He reached out and shook hands with Kiin.

"Hahaha… is this Duke Lathel\'s first time coming to this place?" Kiin laughed as he spoke.

"That\'s right…" Lathel nodded.

Kiin glanced at Charlotte who was walking beside Lathel, then smiled as if he understood something: "Hehehe… I understand. As long as a woman\'s smile is needed, even if it\'s a mountain of gold coins, you won\'t be stingy, right?"

Lathel heard that and nodded: "Your eyes are very good, Manager Kiin."

"Hahaha… After all, there are many men here who come to help their women smile, this kind of thing is very normal." Kiin explained.

"If you want, I can explain to you some of the gems in this place. Of course, I guarantee... if this place doesn\'t satisfy you, no place will."
