Chapter 457 Revive Charlotte
Chapter 457 Revive Charlotte
Lathel sat on the bed where Charlotte used to lie; he was holding a small jar containing her ashes while feeling as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on his heart.
Akna stood at the door of the room as she looked at him with endless sadness. She was not jealous of Charlotte; on the contrary, she was grateful to her.
Thanks to Charlotte, Lathel is alive. But… as Charlotte died, a part of Lathel’s soul died with her.
Akna knew Lathel’s personality well; now, all comforting words were meaningless. However, she also didn’t want Lathel to continue being sad.
Knock! Knock!
Suddenly, someone appeared next to Akna, startling her.
“Captain Laura?!” Akna quickly moved aside and bowed her head.
“Uhm! You go out first; I’ll talk to him a bit.” Laura said smiling.
Akna also knows that Laura is a mysterious person with many secrets. Otherwise, Queen Catheryne would not let her hold such a great position.
Also, the church came to her many times to invite her to join them, and they also promised her a great position.
But Laura did not agree and stayed in the Empire, working as a normal security team captain.
After Akna left, Laura entered the room and closed the door. She looked at Lathel, who was in pain, and she suddenly remembered some strange memories, which made her look at him with nostalgia.
“Do you really love that girl that much?”
When Lathel heard the voice, he was not too surprised. He even knew who had just spoken, so he just nodded slightly: “That’s right.”
“You…”
“Do you want to revive her?”
“Oy! You’re making me sad.” Laura smiled teasingly: “You are my boyfriend, but you say that you like another girl; don’t you think about my feelings?”
Lathel shook her head, then nodded again: “Sorry…”
“Alright.”
BAM!
Laura used force to pat Lathel’s back, which almost made him drop the urn containing Charlotte’s ashes that he was holding in his hand.
“You…”
“Do you want to revive her?”
Hearing Laura’s words, he was startled. He looked at her in disbelief and asked: “What do you mean…”
“Revive her… to live again, didn’t I say it clearly?”
Lathel was so happy to hear that he quickly grabbed Laura’s hand: “Please… show me how to revive her.”
“Hahahaha… very simple; however, there is no such thing as a free meal; do you understand that?” Laura smiled greedily.
Lathel nodded: “What do you want? If I can give it to you, I’ll give it to you, no regrets. You… ack!”
Laura suddenly lifted his chin, her face close to his, as both of them were in range of each other’s breath.
“I want you…” Laura smiled greedily as she gently rubbed his chin: “Can you give me… yourself?”
Lathel took a deep breath, trying to stabilise her emotions: “If you can help me revive Charlotte, I can give you myself.”
“Anyway, this is a favourable condition for me; of course I agree. Besides… you’re so beautiful. I’m a man, and of course I don’t mind having another woman.”
“Aren’t you afraid I’ll destroy your harem?” Laura laughed, her smile beginning to show her aggression.
“I trust you will definitely not do that.” Lathel said firmly.
After that, the two fell silent and looked at each other for a long time.
“Hahahaha… You are exactly the same type of person as I thought.” Laura slowly let go of Lathel, smiling.
“What do you mean? Besides… how do I revive Charlotte? Hurry up, tell me!” Lathel hastily spoke up.
“Calm down… You must know about the blood stone that Dorothy is holding, right?” Laura crossed her legs and tilted her head to speak.
Hearing that, Lathel nodded. He knows that what happens inside the trial space is projected outside, except when he fights the Demon Lord.
He didn’t know how that could happen; however, he didn’t care. After all, this is a fantasy world, and anything can happen.
This was because he had read a series about ninjas; they could revive the dead and even change eyes, like changing a light bulb. That’s why Lathel easily accepts things like this.
“You also know… that stone came from the Blood King, right?”
“You…” Hearing Laura mention the name Blood King, Lathel was startled as he remembered what he had experienced in the trial space.
The Blood King had indeed left him the Blood Stone, but it was taken by Dorothy. But… How could Laura know that?
Laura smiled mysteriously as she gently placed her index finger on Lathel’s lips.
“Shhh! You don’t need to know.” As if Laura knew what Lathel was thinking, she immediately said: “You just need to know… I have a method that can help you revive Charlotte.”
Lathel stared at her, and after a moment, he nodded slightly.
Laura let go and gently licked the finger that had been placed on Lathel’s lips.
Lathel shivered when he saw this scene. He felt like he was a small rabbit, and Laura was a greedy wolf that always wanted to ‘eat’ him.

“There is a blood contract between you and Charlotte.” Laura said: “Even if she dies, her soul is still residing inside your body.”
“The vampire race has a secret talent called ‘Blood Reborn’. As long as the person who signed the blood contract with them is not dead, they still have a chance to revive.”
“Charlotte is the Blood Queen; she definitely has hidden talents or trump cards to keep herself alive.”
“The only key is… you must get the blood stone back from Dorothy. With it, Charlotte can absorb the life energy coming from the Blood King and revive.”
Hearing that, Lathel frowned. He also did not ask Laura what she knew about Charlotte’s identity. But if Laura knew clearly about the Blood King’s existence, he wouldn’t need to ask much.
He just needed to know one thing, which is that Laura helped him revive Charlotte, and she… is probably his ally.
Lathel took a deep breath and stared at Laura as if wanting to know what she was thinking.
“Don’t worry, my man. I will always be your ally.” Laura said smiling.
Lathel also nodded: “So… we can leave now.”
Laura grabbed his shoulder, sighed, and said: “No.”
“Why?”
“Do you know who Dorothy is?”
“I don’t know, but…”
“She comes from an ancient family.” Laura began to explain: “Currently, she has returned to the clan. Ancient families rarely communicate with the outside world; they only open their doors every few years.”
“That’s why, even if you know her family’s location, you may not be able to find her or visit her.”
Hearing that, Lathel felt extremely regretful. If he had received the blood stone from Dorothy at that time, there wouldn’t have been any trouble like now.
“Don’t regret…” Laura suddenly hugged him, letting him rest his head on her chest: “No one knows what the future will be like. You acted out of your own goodness; you must be happy about it.”
“Laura…” Lathel hugged her waist and said softly: “Your armour is so hard, it makes my head hurt a bit.”
Laura: “…”
BAM!
She slapped him on the back of the head, making him dizzy and almost fainted.
“Oy! Do you need to be so forceful?”
“You said my chest armour is very hard; why do you continue to rest on it?” Laura smiled contemptuously.
“Hahahaha…” Laura laughed loudly: “It seems… you are no longer sad.”
“Huh! I also don’t want to be sad anymore. Anyway, I already have my next goal, which is to revive Charlotte.”
Laura nodded in satisfaction: “Yes, my man must be that strong.”
“Okay, keep talking.” Lathel continued to lay his head on Laura’s chest and spoke.
“You said my chest armour is very hard; why do you continue to rest on it?” Laura smiled contemptuously.
“I like it like this.” Lathel didn’t seem shy, as he spoke as if this were a matter of course.
Laura shook her head and smiled, gently patted Lathel’s head, and continued to explain: “Dorothy’s ancient family needs two months to open and interact with the outside world.”
“And at the upcoming opening, that family will interact with magic practitioner Karol. The academy will select candidates with great potential or outstanding talent to participate in exchanges with that family.”
“That is also the reason why you are forced to enter Karol Magic Academy.”
Hearing that, Lathel nodded and asked softly: “So… if we wait until two months later, will Charlotte’s soul be affected?”
“Of course, the life energy that holds her soul will gradually slip away.” Laura said as she rubbed Lathel’s cheeks: “To keep her soul in the best state, you must constantly replenish your life energy.”
“If there is enough life energy, Charlotte will take that energy from you to replenish herself, understand?”
“I understand!” Lathel smiled and replied, he realized… no matter what, he still had to enter Karol Magic Academy.
He felt as if there was a giant hand manipulating everything, leading him from event to event, from map to map, like in a game.
“Good, then, I will go with you.”
“Ack!” Lathel was a little startled and said: “Are you really going to come with me? You’re not jealous?”
“Huh! Why should I be jealous of her? Anyway, even if I were jealous, you wouldn’t care, right?” Laura said annoyed.
“This…” Lathel smiled shyly: “Sorry, hahahaha…”
“Okay, I know… You’re not the type of person who would make others uncomfortable.” Laura pushed Lathel away and said: “Tonight’s party, you must attend. I won’t allow you to look sad, understand?”
Lathel smiled: “Of course!”
