Chapter 226 You can try to guess
Lathel: “…”
“Captain Laura, you don’t have to tease me like that. What does becoming your boyfriend have to do with proving that Lafien is innocent?”
“Of course it’s related…” Laura shrugged and said: “As long as I use my honour to bail her out, she will definitely be innocent.”
“We don’t have evidence to prove she’s innocent, but we also don’t have evidence to prove she’s guilty.”
“That’s why what she lacks is a person with full trust in the law to vouch for her.”
“If I, the captain of the security team, vouch for her, she will definitely be innocent. However, she needs to be placed under house arrest for a short time.” 𝒍𝓲𝒃𝙧𝓮𝙖𝒅.𝓬𝙤𝓶
“But compared to being tortured in this cramped room, being confined in a castle is better, right?”
Hearing that, Lathel felt it was extremely reasonable, but… he sighed and said: “Is it possible to change the request? I’m afraid I cannot fulfil this request of yours.”
“Good! So you can watch her be imprisoned until she goes crazy. By that time, even if she were innocent, she would have lost her mind and become completely crazy.” Laura shrugged as she spoke, her face showing a sarcastic smile.
He felt a little uncomfortable due to what Laura said. However, when he looked at Lafien, she looked like she was dead, and he felt even more uncomfortable in his heart.
Lathel sighed and said: “I can’t like you; after all, you and I just met. But… we can start getting to know each other, okay?”
“That’s too troublesome, I’m a girl, but since I’ve taken the initiative like this, what are you afraid of?” Laura frowned, her face showing a bit of impatience.
“Ah, or… you don’t like women?”
Lathel: “…” (ˉ ˉ |||)
He pondered for a moment, then sighed.
“Don’t sigh, you’ve sighed more times than I’ve sighed in my entire life.” Laura said annoyed.
Lathel frowned: ‘Can’t I sigh?’
He gritted his teeth and said: “Good, but… you can’t force me to do things I don’t want to do.”
Laura shrugged: “Of course, I respect you very much; I don’t want to force you to do anything.”
“You have 10 minutes; I’ll wait for you outside.”
After she finished speaking, she left and gave privacy to Lathel and Lafien.
As soon as the door closed, Lathel looked at Lafien with pity. He also didn’t think things would turn out this badly.
He sat next to Lafien and gently said: “Lafien, are you… okay?”
Hearing that, Lafien was startled. She raised her head, and muttered: “No, I… I didn’t do that.” I didn’t mean to… I didn’t know that pill was poison… I…”
“Enough!” Lathel hugged her tightly: “That’s enough, I know you didn’t mean it…”
Lafien turned her head to look at him, and a little light gradually appeared in her lifeless eyes like a doll’s: “Lathel… is that you?” You… why are you here… It’s really you, right?”
“That’s right.” Lathel tightly held Lafien’s hand, which was full of wounds and dried blood, while feeling pain in his heart.
Those injuries were almost all caused by fingernails. It seemed that Lafien had used her own fingernails to scratch her hands.
How horrifying were the hallucinations that she had to do such terrible things?
He didn’t know, but he didn’t want to let her continue like this.
“Lathel… you… Are you still angry with me? I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to do that. I…”
“No…” Lathel tried to reassure her: “I’m not angry with you… wait! Why are you so hot?”
Lathel realised something. He touched Lafien’s forehead and found that her forehead was very hot: “The fever is so high, it’s not good…”
He immediately wanted to rush out and call Laura, but before he could stand up, Lafien hugged him tightly, crying. She said: “Sorry, sorry… Don’t be angry with me… sorry… I’m really sorry…”
“Tch!” Lathel clicked her tongue: “I know, I’m not angry with you. Let me go, your fever is very high, and you need to be treated promptly.”
“No! You will abandon me, I won’t let you go, never…” Lafien hugged Lathel tightly, tears continuously flowing, and her nails stabbed into his back, making him uncomfortable.
But he didn’t push Lafien away; he just continuously caressed her back, reassuring her: “No, I will never abandon you… Please calm down a bit.”
“No! Please.. please, I’m sorry…”
“Lathel, she can’t calm down.” Cauldron now spoke: “She was immersed in an illusion, so the energy in her body is also extremely chaotic.”
“So, what should we do?” Lathel asked hurriedly.
“Use your blood… You can bite her, and the vampire’s self-healing ability will stabilise her.”
Listening to Cauldron, Lathel almost forgot that he and Lafien were both half-vampires.
He quickly hugged Lafien tightly, muttering: “Sorry…”
After that, he bit her neck. Lafien did not feel any pain. On the contrary, she felt the pain gradually disappear.
She hugged Lathel tightly; she moaned a bit sensually, but it also showed that she was feeling very comfortable.
[Ding! The skill ‘adaptation’ is activated. A virus has been detected, and antibodies are being created to fight the virus.]
“Virus? Adaptation? Infection?” Many questions appeared in his mind, however, he could not think much anymore, as he just focused on sucking Lafien’s blood.
“Um… Lathel… Lathel… um…” Lafien moaned, and that moan stirred the desire in his heart.
Lathel tried to control his own desire, so that it wouldn’t consume him.
A moment later, Lathel opened her mouth and separated from Lafien’s neck.
Lafien also fell asleep and rested her head on his shoulder. While sleeping, she still smiled, somewhat satisfied and happy.
Lathel patted her on the back, then carried her outside. Seeing Laura, he wanted to say something, but she laughed.
“Hahaha… It’s okay, don’t worry. You can’t bring her back, but I will help her and keep her in a better place.”
Hearing that, Lathel nodded: “Thank you, Captain Laura.”
“Huh! I said… You don’t need to thank me. Anyway, we will become a family in the future, no need to be too polite.” Laura laughed. She glanced at Lafien and said: “Besides… I don’t want your concubine to die too soon…”
“She is not my concubine…” Lathel objected. 𝓵𝙞𝓫𝒓𝙚𝓪𝓭.𝒄𝓸𝓶
“Okay! Okay! I already know, you don’t need to hide it like that.” Laura approached Lathel and picked Lafien up: “Don’t worry, I will take good care of her.”
Lathel gave Lafien to Laura, feeling guilty, he said: “Sorry, today is your day off, but I am bothering you.”
“Don’t say sorry, you’re too polite, and it makes me feel uncomfortable.” Laura shook her head and said.
She didn’t wait for Lathel to answer, and she took Lafien upstairs to another room.
This room was small; it had large windows, and sunlight flooded the room. The inside was also extremely clean, and there was a comfortable bed.
“This is my resting room.” “However, leaving her here is fine,” Laura said.
She put Lafien on the bed, then went out and locked the door with magic.
“How long does she have to stay here?” Lathel asked worriedly.
“About a month. That is the minimum time for a person suspected of transporting and trading prohibited substances to be detained.” Laura smiled and said: “But you don’t need to worry, I’ll protect her here; she’ll be fine.”
“Hopefully, in the coming time, she must be obedient and not cause anything to violate the law; otherwise…”
Laura didn’t finish, but Lathel knew what she wanted to say. Looking into her menacing eyes, he nodded and said: “I promise I won’t let her do anything like this.”
“I trust you.” Laura smiled and replied: “Do you want some tea?”
“This…”
“Hm?! I’ve helped you so much. Don’t you want to finally have some tea with me?”
Hearing that, Lathel shook her head: “No, I’m afraid I will bother you. After all, today is your day off.”
“Good! So let’s go for a walk.”
“Ack! Is it okay if I go with you?”
“Of course.” Laura used her index finger to point at his forehead: “I just wanted to walk around a bit and then go home. But with you, I feel like walking around is much more interesting.”
“Besides… you are my boyfriend now.”
Lathel: “…”
…
On the road, Lathel walked with Laura while looking at the surrounding streets.
“Don’t you want to buy anything?” Lathel felt strange and asked: “Usually girls who go out do a lot of shopping, but you’re just looking around.”
Laura clasped her hands behind her back and said somewhat mischievously: “Hm… I don’t have any need to buy anything.”
“I don’t have much use for clothes. Most officers wear police uniforms, and we only have four days off each month, so a few sets of clothes are enough for us to use.”
“Don’t you have any food preferences?” Lathel frowned and asked.
“No, anyway, I’m used to the food at the police headquarters; I’m not interested in food outside.”
Lathel tilted his head. He felt that this girl was a bit strange, but she also gave him a somewhat familiar feeling.
Especially the action of her pointing her index finger on his forehead, as this made him feel like someone had often done this to him before.
However, even after searching through his memories, he still couldn’t figure out who it was.
Lathel shook her head and continued asking: “So… you don’t have any other hobbies?”
“Hm… my hobby is… enforcing justice and bringing a peaceful life to everyone.”
“Heh?!” Lathel was startled, not because of Laura’s words; he was startled because a strange image suddenly appeared in his mind.
A black-haired girl whose face he could not see clearly was wearing a police uniform on Earth and proudly saying, “I want to bring the justice I believe in to cover this entire world.”
“Oy! Are you thinking about another girl?” Laura’s voice suddenly rang out, startling Lathel.
“Ah! No, I… I just remembered some strange things.”
“Huh! You’re walking with me, but you’re not concentrating. Does walking around with me make you feel bored?” Laura’s voice carried a hint of annoyance.
Lathel quickly explained: “No, I… sorry, I didn’t mean that.”
“I just feel that you are very different from other girls. Why do you carry the idea that you will be the one to carry out justice?”
Laura glanced at Lathel, her face carrying a mysterious smile, and said: “You can try to guess…”
Lathel: “…”
