Chapter 327 Why do you like me?
Chapter 327 Why do you like me?
Knock! Knock!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Sakuth then angrily shouted: "Who?!"
"Sorry, miss. Your father… He sent you a letter; I hope you can take a look."
"My father?!" Sakuth frowned: "No way! He hopes to get as far away from me as possible. How can he send me letters?
"Leave it outside; I'll read it later."
"Sorry, miss. Your father said, I must give this letter to you and not let anyone see it."
"Tsk!" Sakuth lost patience and clicked his tongue in annoyance.
He bowed his head, looked at his 'long spear' about to pierce inside Alec's 'daisy', and gritted his teeth.
Sakuth put on the dress, then walked to the door.
Krit!
The door opened, and Sakuth saw a maid bowing her head and offering a letter with both hands towards him.
Sakuth received the letter and then opened it. His eyes suddenly opened wide, then he smiled and said: "Good! I know, you can go."
"Yes, thank you, ma'am."
"Wait!" Just as the maid turned to leave, Sakuth spoke again: "I've never seen you here before."
The maid spoke in fear: "I… I was hired by master Alec four days ago. However, at that time, my father was seriously ill, so I could not appear."
"After my father recovered, I immediately came here."
"Hm?! So... how do you know that the person who delivered this letter is my father?" Sakuth frowned and said as he sharply looked at her.
"Because... my father used to work here, butler Norack."
"Ah!" Hearing that name, Sakuth immediately waved his hand, signalling the maid to leave.
The maid was happy to see that; she immediately bowed her head, then hurriedly left.
Sakuth held the letter in his hand, his eyes filled with confusion. After that, he placed the letter in his space bag and returned to the room.
Seeing Alec lying on the bed, showing no signs of waking up, Sakuth licked his lips, then approached Alec.
"This time… no one will bother us anymore."
Sakuth climbed onto the bed and began to attack Alec.
However, he did not notice that in the corner of the room, a small, eye-shaped glass ball the size of a thumb was floating there.
All images of the 'fight' between Alec and Sakuth were recorded by that glass ball.
Outside, in another room in this castle, Lilith pouted, looking towards a blonde girl sitting at the table.
"Lusha! You're so perverted..."
Lusha listened to Lilith and laughed and said: "Hahahaha... so interesting, interesting images like this. How much do you think I can sell it for?"
"What?! Will someone buy that nauseating thing?"
"Lilith… In this world, anything can happen. Besides, is there anything more unbelievable in this world than the fact that you love Lathel?"
"This…" Lilith scratched her head, she also didn't understand why her liking Lathel had become such a strange thing.
"Besides…" Lusha smiled mysteriously: "I think Alec would pay a big price to buy this."
"Ah! You are really cruel." Lilith frowned and took a step back, as if she were afraid of Lusha.
"Hahahaha…"
…
In the evening, Lathel sat in a rather large room. There were many strange tools in the room, as if he were making something.
Right now, he wasn't 'having fun' with the maids or Akna; he was actually focusing on studying Savis' notebook.
Currently, he possessed 'Savis' sculpting knife' and 'Savis' sculpting notebook'. He didn't know if these two things had anything to do with each other, but what interested him was what was written inside the notebook.
"It's incredible; I didn't think Savis would have crazy thoughts in the era he was living in."
"It can be said that he is the Leonardo da Vinci of this world. I'm afraid only the modern world can understand and manufacture these things."
"However… with the methods Savis described, maybe… I can make that thing."
After that, Lathel began studying so seriously that he lost track of time.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Lathel frowned; he didn't know how much time had passed until the knock on the door rang. He sighed and put Savis' notebook into the system's storage space.
"Who?!"
"Young master, it's Akna."
"Ah! Come in!"
Akna pushed the door in; she saw Lathel sitting and reading a book, then bowed her head and said: "Young master, you have been reading for more than 7 hours; it is now 11 pm."
"Really? I was so absorbed in reading that I didn't pay attention to the time."
"Yes, I hope you can pay a little attention to your health." Akna bowed her head and spoke, her voice filled with concern and worry.
Lathel smiled: "Akna, do you want to walk with me a bit?"
"Heh?! What do you mean…"
"Let's go for a walk in the garden, okay?"
Akna nodded: "Yes, I will obey all your orders, young master."
"Ah! You can call me Lathel; you don't have to always call me Young Master."
"This… sorry, I can't do that."
Hearing that, Lathel sighed and shook his head. He didn't want to force Akna anymore.
…
Outside, Lathel walks in the garden with Akna. Today is a day when dark clouds cover the moon and beautiful stars, leaving a completely black sky.
"Akna… Why do you like me?"
Suddenly, Lathel questioned her; however, his question did not surprise her.
As Akna walked, she placed her hands in front of her stomach. Each step was extremely gentle and exuded an extremely noble temperament.
"Young master, do you believe that in this world there is love from a previous life?"
Lathel was startled when she heard that: "Heh?! What are you talking about?"
"What I mean is..." Akna's face turned red. She smiled and said: "I have a feeling I loved you in my previous life, but I couldn't become your woman."
"That's why, when I saw you in this life, I immediately fell in love with you and wanted to dedicate my entire body, heart, and soul to you."
"Young master, I am sure you are the person I loved in my previous life. Fate has arranged for me to meet you again so that I can continue to love you."
Lathel was startled. Suddenly, he felt that... Akna was his female personal secretary in his previous life. However... this girl is completely different from his female secretary.
Both of their faces are completely different, it's just… their personalities are quite similar.
However, Lathel still does not believe that his female secretary from Earth came to this world and then continued to love him.
Although Lathel is stupid, he is also wise enough to realise that he himself is not perfect, not good enough, nor handsome enough to make a girl love him that much.
That's why he immediately rejected the idea that... Akna was his female secretary.
Lathel laughed and said: "Hahaha… Maybe…"
Even though he didn't believe it, he could only agree with Akna's words to make her happy.
Lathel also didn't want to waste time explaining further; as long as Akna was happy, he was content.
Akna was different. Even though Lathel said so, she knew he didn't believe what she said, and this made her feel a bit disappointed.
"What about you, young master? Do you really like me?" Akna asked while bowing her head; her hands were no longer calm, and she clutched the dress tightly.
Lathel frowned. He had thought of countless reasons since he took away Akna's first time.
However... right now, he felt that those reasons are nonsense.
Lathel sighed, then said: "Do you know that... I'm actually not as kind as you think?"
Akna shook her head: "No, I think Young Master is really very kind."
Lathel smiled; however, this smile was him laughing at himself: "No, I'm not that kind. I like beautiful women; I'm also very greedy. I want to have many beautiful women in my hands."
"Akna, you are very beautiful; you are also a beauty. I like you, but maybe… my love for you is due to the fact that you are a wonderful and beautiful girl."
"You may be angry, but it's the truth. However, since you are my woman, I will love you and give you all the good things."
Hearing that, Akna smiled: "Thank you, young master."
"Hm?! Aren't you angry?"
Hearing that, Akna shook her head: "No! It is my honour to be liked by the young master; I am not angry at all. On the contrary, I still feel happy."
"Young master, do you know that there are many nobles who view maids as mere sexual objects? After using them, they throw it away."
"You are different, you cherish every girl you like, that is the best thing I can see in a high-ranking noble like you."
Lathel nodded. He also knew that in this era, the status of slaves and servants was not too different.
However, he is a resident of Earth, so he does not discriminate against servants or slaves.
To him, they are all the same; they are all humans and need respect.
But… perhaps what he did was what made him completely different from other nobles.
"Is that all, Young Master?" Suddenly, Akna asked again.
Lathel then sighed and said: "In fact, there is a big reason why I like you... You must promise me that if I say this, you will not be angry."
Akna nodded and said: "Of course. Young master, I am your maid, your woman. I will not be angry, even if that reason makes me uncomfortable."
Lathel glanced at Akna, then said: "I feel like you are very similar to a girl I once knew."
"Heh?!" Akna tilted her head to look at him, her eyes filled with anticipation and hope. At this moment, her heart was beating continuously, as if it were about to jump out of her chest.
"Your personality is really similar to hers. At that time, she also confessed her love to me, however... I couldn't accept that feeling."
"Why? You didn't like her?"
Lathel shook her head: "No, she is also very beautiful, she even knows me very well like you, Akna."
"She knows what I need and want. She and I have worked together for quite a long time, of course, I also like her."
Akna heard that and smiled. She bowed her head, hiding her satisfied smile and her teary eyes.
Lathel did not pay attention to Akna; his eyes looked into the distance as if recalling memories he had forgotten.
"I really liked her, but… the law at that time didn't allow me to like her. That's why... I had to refuse her feelings."
"I also hope that… she had a peaceful life."
