The supporting character's harem is very normal

Chapter 474  Peace before the Storm

Lathel turned around, planning to leave. But Amleth immediately grabbed his hand, her voice filled with sincerity. "Lathel... you... don't do that."

"You're joking, right? You're right, I didn't treat you well before, but I really like you. I even did everything possible to come to this world so that I could be by your side again."

"Lathel… Give me another chance, please… you…"

"Enough, Amleth…" Lathel shook her head and sighed: "You also have your new life in this world; why hold on to someone you once abandoned?"

"Lathel… please… I really have nothing to do with that man. He's really just my partner." Amleth kept explaining.

Lathel still shook his head: "That's enough, Amleth. What makes you think I would love you after what you did to me?"

"I don't want to go back to that cold house from before. I don't want to call you, and you'll speak to me like I'm bothering you."

"I have suffered enough, Amleth. Now, I have better things—better women. I will cherish them even better than I cherish you."

After Lathel finished speaking, he shook Amleth's hand away. Before, she was stronger than him, but now it's different, as his physical strength is much stronger than hers.

Amleth fell to the ground, crying pitifully: "Lathel… please… don't leave me. I will cherish you, I will…"

No matter what Amleth said, Lathel left decisively, without any hesitation.

After Lathel left the room, Amleth suddenly wiped her tears, her facial expression changing completely.

From being pitiful with tears in her eyes, her face became so cold that it made the surrounding space colder.

The maid from before suddenly appeared next to Amleth, bowed her head, and said: "Master, do you want to..."

"No need." Amleth coldly replied: "Meryl, prepare everything necessary. If I can't have him, no one can."

"Yes, master." Meryl bowed her head, then disappeared.

Amleth looked towards the door as if wanting to see through while muttering: "Lathel... the game is just starting now."

…

Lathel was going out when suddenly a cold wind blew on the back of his neck, startling him.

He turned his head and looked behind him, but there was no one there. This made Lathel realise that Amleth wanted revenge.

He knows her personality better than anyone. She has an extremely possessive personality, and if she can't get what she wants, she will destroy it.

That's why Lathel didn't want to stay here for long.

Besides, he knew for sure that the feeling just now was not his imagination.

'Surely Amleth is up to something.'

Lathel thought of that and quickly left this place. After leaving Laleth Garden without any problems, he immediately felt strange.

However, he didn't think much and immediately entered the carriage.

When Akna, who was waiting for him in the carriage, saw him appear, she quickly spoke: "Young master..."

"Don't talk too much; hurry up and leave this place."

Hearing that, Akna did not dare to be slow; she immediately told the servant to drive the carriage and quickly leave this place.

The carriage began to move; however, Lathel still felt extremely uneasy.

After recovering his memories of Selvia, or, more accurately, Amleth, he feared her even more.

In his previous life, when he was in Dandite's world, Amleth was a woman with an extremely terrible sense of possession.

Although the memories he recalled were not many, he remembered a few events that caused him to gradually become desperate for Amleth.

One of those events was when he and Amleth attended a gala organised by large companies. It is a place for business elites to shine and seek cooperative opportunities.

At that time, because his appearance was quite good, many middle-aged women paid attention to him.

Even though he paid them no attention, Amleth was still jealous. She was so angry, she took him home immediately.

Then… she locked him in the basement for days. He didn't know how much time passed outside; he only knew that... every once in a while, she would bring him food.

Lathel also couldn't take advantage of the time she brought in food to escape because his feet were chained to a concrete pillar.

There was no light in the basement, only an incandescent lamp hanging above his head.

There weren't any electronic devices or tools. There is only one mattress, one pillow, and one blanket.

At the far end was a small toilet; however, there was no door, so Amleth could easily observe him.

The room was only 20 square metres, but it had up to four surveillance cameras without any dead corners.

Every time Lathel ate the food she brought, he immediately felt sleepy and fell into a deep sleep. Later, he learned that the food contained sleeping pills.

After he fell asleep, she hugged him and slept together on the small mattress. Before he woke up, she left.

About a week passed before he was released. At that time, she just said she wanted to protect him from the middle-aged women at the gala.

She even said that those women just wanted to find young men to feel excited, and they even had strange diseases in their bodies.

Amleth explained a lot, even using a pitiful appearance to explain it to him.

He still ignored her; however, he wasn't angry, not because he believed what she said.

But because... he loved her so much at that time, so much so that he was willing to ignore all her mistakes.

But now it's different; Lathel doesn't want to continue to deal with that devil anymore.

Akna saw Lathel's face filled with worry and held his hand. Akna's warm hand startled him, bringing him back to reality.

He looked at Akna; she was also looking at him. Her eyes made him much calmer and safer.

The carriage drove for a long time until it reached the Enchanter Road. After seeing several people walking on the road, Lathel calmed down.

He sighed and said: "I can escape today, but what about tomorrow?"

"Young master…" Akna asked worriedly: "Did Amleth threaten you?"

"No." Lathel shook his head and said: "It's worse than that. She never threatened me, nor did she harm me, but with her personality, she could do even more terrible things."

"I'm afraid… This is just the calm before the storm."

Akna was silent; she just looked at Lathel with worry and affection, then said softly: "Young master, don't worry. I will definitely protect you."

"Of course, I also hope you can protect me." Lathel sighed and said, "You should assign more servants to follow me. I feel unsafe when I go out."

Akna forced a smile: "Okay, young master."

"Ah! Strengthen the security at the castle; if there is a shortage of money, I will think of a way to earn more money." Lathel said worriedly: "You should also arrange as many magic formations as possible to protect the castle."

"The best is a magic formation that can instantly turn an intruder into ashes."

Akna: "..."

"Young master, calm down; we don't have that kind of magic."

"Heh?!" Lathel was startled: "So what about magic that can hide the entire castle?"

"The raw materials needed are also huge." Akna sighed and said: "However, young master, there is no need to worry. She cannot harm you."

"Why are you so sure?" Lathel asked confusedly.

"Because… She has several enemies." Akna explained: "Duke Ryne is also not an ordinary Duke. Duke Ryne's anger not only affects the Empire but also spreads outside the Empire."

"Amleth works in business; her biggest fear is war. If war breaks out, all her enemies will point their swords at her."

"Duke Ryne just needs to gather them and attack Amleth, and then she will surely die."

"That's why, young master, you will be safe for the time being. However, I think that if she wants to harm you, she will rely on others."

Hearing that, Lathel was startled and immediately spoke up: "You mean... the male protagonists, those protected by the will of the world, right?"

Akna nodded: "That's right. Amleth is just a merchant after all; even if she has her own army, she wouldn't be able to surpass the royal army."

"In the meantime, Duke Ryne can mobilise the royal army thanks to her relationship with the Queen." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

As Akna said this, in her heart, she also silently apologised to Lathel for not being able to tell the truth.

The truth is… Ryne is actually Queen Catheryne; if Lathel was injured, then she would definitely use the royal army to destroy the person who injured him.

"Amleth, up until now, has not dared to directly endanger you because of that reason."

"So, I think… If she is the same type of person as me, she will seek the help of those protected by the will of the world."

"If she were not from Earth, then her fate would eventually bring her to the side of the person chosen by the will of the world."

"No matter what the case is… young master, your enemy is the one chosen by the will of the world."
