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.
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."
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."
