Chapter 352 Information about Harris and Alec – Meeting the Queen
?Her neck had a cut so deep that her vocal tract and blood vessels could be seen.
Blood poured out like a stream, spraying everywhere and even sticking to Akna’s body.
However, Akna was not afraid, as her face showed no emotion.
She looked indifferently at Lathel’s wife lying on the ground, her hands trying to cover the wound, as she looked at Akna in disbelief.
However, just a minute later, she slowly closed her eyes, and her life completely disappeared.
Akna watched that woman die without expressing any emotion.
She slowly sat down, then took out a large saw from the backpack she was carrying.
Then… she slowly cut the woman’s body into many small pieces.
After dissecting the woman’s body, Akna began the next step, which was cooking the woman into soup.
Akna looked at the pot of soup in front of her without any guilt.
She scooped some soup onto a small plate, then tasted it: “It tastes disgusting…as disgusting as your personality. It’s hard for me to understand why you have him and I don’t.”
Akna suddenly cried while muttering: “Lathel… I killed the woman who didn’t know how to appreciate you… but why don’t I feel comfortable.”
“Why? Is it because I don’t have you that I feel this way?
She suddenly remembered the time Lathel knelt in front of the director, who was sleeping with his wife, to beg him to fully pay the unemployment insurance for Lathel’s employees.
She also remembered when Lathel left the company carrying a paper box with nothing inside but useless objects.
He did not even have a car because of his debt.
At that time, Akna ran after him, as she wanted him to live with her, but he refused.
He just smiled a bit and left, which broke her heart.
…
“Akna, are you okay?”
“Heh?! Ah! I… I…” Akna heard Lathel’s voice and was startled: “I was just thinking about a few things.”
“Young master… If you do this, how can I eat them? They are so adorable.”
“Hahaha… don’t worry. You can eat them; I will make more for you.”
“Really?”
“Of course.” Lathel nodded: “As long as you want, I will make cakes for you to eat forever.”
“Young master…” Akna quickly put the cake box in her space bag.
Lathel saw this and asked in confusion: “Won’t you taste it?”
“Uhm! I will taste them later. You took time to make them, so I can’t eat them quickly.”
“This…” Lathel wanted to say something more, but in the end, he just remained silent, letting Akna do whatever she wanted.
Lathel and Akna entered the carriage; at this time, the carriage was headed towards the Royal Palace.
In the carriage, Akna began to speak: “Young master, you must be careful. The Queen agreed to meet you, but she may not agree with your plan.”
“What do you mean?” Lathel frowned, feeling confused.
“The Queen is really interested in you thanks to what you did. However, the Karol Auction Centre is a thorn in the Queen’s eyes, so she cannot let just anyone manage that place.”
Listening to Akna’s explanation, Lathel nodded and said: “I understand.”
Seeing that, Akna could only sigh, hoping that things wouldn’t become more complicated.
She knew what Ryne wanted to do, and she also knew what Lathel’s personality was like.
That’s why Akna is worried that Lathel won’t accept Ryne’s request.
“Ah! Do you have information about Alec and Harris?” Lathel asked.
Akna nodded and said: “According to what the other servants investigated… Alec escaped, and Saki was killed.”
“The demon lord saved him?”
“It seems so.” Akna replied: “Because after eliminating all possible cases, only the Demon Lord is capable of saving Alec.”
“And the Demon Lord is the only one who can interact with Alec without fear of his terrible disease.”
Lathel nodded. He remembered what happened in the third round. The Demon Lord also appeared at that time, but… it was just a puppet of the Demon Lord.
Since it was just a puppet, the Demon Lord would naturally not be afraid of the infection of that terrible disease.
Lathel also had a feeling that Alec would survive thanks to the Demon Lord. After all, he had eliminated almost all the scenarios that Alec could rely on to survive, and in the end, there were only two scenarios left where he could survive.
Firstly, it’s the Demon Lord, and secondly, it’s the System. However, Alec also had an ancient spirit following him, but Lathel felt that the one who was most likely to save Alec would be the Demon Lord.
In the end… he was right.
However, Lathel felt like he and Alec would meet again in the very near future.
“What about Harris?” Lathel frowned and asked.
“Harris also contracted the disease from Alec; he and another mysterious woman left the Empire last night.” Akna said.
Hearing that, Lathel rubbed her chin: “From the direction he left, where do you think he will go?”
“According to his direction… I think there are three destinations that Harris could go to.” Akna explained.
“First, it is the refuge of the ancient Parona family. However, after investigating, the analysts felt Harris could not go there.”
“There is no connection between Harris and that family.”
“The second destination is the ‘Forest of Despair’, but there is no information about any treasures or anything noteworthy appearing there either.”
“The third destination, although it is very mysterious, is the place with the highest odds that Harris will end up.”
“The Dark Cave.”
Hearing that, Lathel suddenly remembered Harris’s talent, which was a type of talent related to the dark element. And… the soul attached to Harris also matches that element, the Darkness King.
Akna continued: “According to legend, in the Dark Cave there will be a portal leading to Darkness Space.”
“That’s where the Darkness King was created. No, to be more precise… the Darkness King became the terror of countless creatures thanks to Darkness Space.”
“However, many searches were organised; in the end, no one found the portal to the Darkness Space.”
“People even think it’s just a lie. Since no one has discovered the dark cave or the gate leading to Darkness Space.”
“However… Based on his talent and what happened in the second round, it is very likely that Harris knows about the existence of Darkness Space. Besides, he probably knowswhere the gate leading to the Darkness Space is.”
Lathel frowned, rubbing her chin while thinking. To him, Harris was not like Alec.
Even though they are both main characters, he feels that Harris is much smarter and more dangerous than Alec.
While Alec only knows how to brag and covet beautiful women, Harris is able to hide himself and be more patient than Alec.
In the third round, Harris pretended to be unconscious in order to give Lathel a fatal blow. Luckily, Lathel was not afraid of physical damage at that time, so he could survive that attack.
“Young master, do you want me to continue following Harris?”
Hearing Akna’s question, Lathel frowned and said: “Is tracking him still going smoothly?” Is the mysterious girl next to him strong?”
“Very strong.” Akna nodded and said: “According to the survey, she is most likely a hunter or swordsman, and her level is around 60 to 80.”
“Because our scouts have never seen her fight, there is no accurate speculation about her.”
“It’s too dangerous…” Lathel sighed and said: “If you feel it’s dangerous, there’s no need to continue following him. I don’t want to lose any of you.”
Hearing that, Akna smiled gently: “Young master, don’t worry. In our group of servants, there are a few people who are skilled in using remote monitoring magic.”
“If anything goes wrong, they have enough time to run away.”
Hearing that, Lathel felt a little more reassured, then asked: “How long will it take to get from the Karol Empire to the Dark Cave?”
“If you use flying monsters, it would only take about three days.” Akna knew what he was going to ask about and continued to explain: “However, Young Master, there is no need to worry.”
“Harris and the mysterious woman decided to walk, so it would take nearly a month to get there.”
“This is without taking into accountthe possibility that they might encounter monsters along the way.”
Lathel nodded and said: “That’s good, I can have more time to prepare.”
He, of course, didn’t want to compete with the main character for his opportunity, however, Alec is a male lead that he must definitely kill.
That’s why… even if he couldn’t compete with Harris for this opportunity, at least… Lathel couldn’t let Harris enter the Darkness Space.
Lathel knows… as long as Harris has the opportunity to enter Darkness Space, he will definitely become strong and come back for revenge.
The carriage continued to move, and Lathel looked outside, his face carrying a bit of worry and confusion.
Akna felt hurt as she looked at him. She just wants him to be happy all the time, without having to worry about anything.
However, the arrival of Alec and Harris makes it seem like Lathel is dancing under a guillotine.
‘Young master… don’t worry. I will definitely protect you; even if I die, I will protect you… just like in my previous life.’
…
Arriving at the Royal Palace, Lathel followed Akna to an extremely large garden.
He used to think that Ryne’s garden was already very large; it could be said to be the largest in the Empire, but it didn’t seem to be comparable to the Royal Garden.
This place was filled with rare herbs, rare birds of all colours, and countless flowers emitting fragrance that made him feel like he was in heaven.
“Young master, I can’t continue following you.”
After arriving at a small road flanked by two neatly trimmed walls of trees, Akna suddenly spoke.
Lathel knew that this path was the only one he was allowed to take, so he didn’t say anything more.
He walked down that small road for about a hundred metres and saw a small yard. In the middle of the yard was an area where people used to drink tea.
Lathel immediately saw a woman sitting on a chair, startling him.
Suddenly, he felt like he had met that woman before, but he couldn’t remember where or when.
His memories were hazy, as if covered by a layer of fog.
“Come here…”
