Chapter 248 Am I not attractive enough?

"Invitation?!" Alec was confused and took the letter from Rolen\'s hand.

"I don\'t know; I just saw a few people saying that this invitation letter was very important. I thought… it would be useful to Master, so… I stole it." Rolen said, her voice faltering a bit.

Alec tore open the envelope and read its contents. The more he read, the more his eyes shone, and his face showed excitement and interest.

"So wonderful, hahaha… Rolen, you just gave me a great opportunity, hahahaha…"

Alec laughed loudly: "With this opportunity, I can earn at least 5,000,000 gold coins, hahahaha..."

"5… 5,000,000 gold coins?" Rolen was also startled. She immediately asked excitedly: "Master… If that\'s the case, you won\'t auction me off, right?"

Hearing that, Alec\'s face suddenly turned cold: "Rolen, don\'t you trust me?"

"Ack! I... I\'m sorry, I..." Rolen bowed her head and said.

"Huh! This invitation is to invite a pharmacist enchanter to treat a girl, who is the daughter of Count Bourban." Alec frowned and said.

"If she is cured, they will be rewarded with 5,000,000 gold coins and many other things. Even though I\'m sure I can cure her strange illness, but…"

"To be more certain, our plan will still be implemented. After all, I urgently need money, and the girl\'s treatment cannot take place in just one day."

"That\'s why… Rolen, the plan remains unchanged. Do you feel uncomfortable?"

"I… no, sorry, master." Rolen pursed her lips; she felt like she was just a commodity. If her master didn\'t like her, he could sell her to someone else.

"Don\'t worry; like I said, we\'re just putting on a show." Alec smiled and reassured Rolen: "If I get the money, I will save you. However, even if I don\'t save you, you can still escape on your own, right?"

Rolen nodded slightly, not knowing what else to say. Suddenly, she remembered yesterday, when she was in Lathel\'s castle.

She was very happy and warm,?and she ate very well.

In particular, The Young Master\'s grilled meat was delicious—so delicious that it made her eat non-stop.

Young Master Lathel was also very kind; although he was a noble, he grilled meat for her, and she even worried about her more than... her master.

A thought suddenly appeared in Rolen\'s mind...

\'Can I betray Alec and live with Lathel?\'

As soon as that thought appeared, Rolen shook her head in surprise, trying to refute that crazy thought.

Finally, Rolen nodded and replied: "Yes, I will complete the mission."

While Alec and Rolen talked, a dark shadow outside heard their entire conversation.

The black shadow took out a piece of paper and gently touched it with their index finger. Then, a magic circle appeared, turning the paper into countless dust particles that disappeared into the air.

That black shadow then retreated into a hidden corner and then disappeared.

…

In the cab, Lathel pondered about many things. He felt that since coming to this world, all the troubles revolved around him as if he were the main character.

\'Strange... Did I choose the wrong route?\'

Lathel suddenly remembered games that focused on stories. In the game, different options will appear. Depending on the player\'s choices, the results will also be different.

\'Was I really wrong from the beginning?\'

He frowned and thought; however, he felt that things did not seem to be that simple.

It\'s like... There is an infinite hand manipulating everything, including his life.

\'Ack! What the hell am I thinking? Hahaha… I\'m probably overthinking. If there is a problem, it must revolve around the male protagonist.\'

Lathel sighed and suddenly realised that the carriage had just stopped. Then there was a knock on the door, accompanied by Akna\'s voice.

"Young master, can I come in?"

"Ah! Okay…" Lathel replied.

As soon as Akna entered the carriage, Lathel was startled to see her. She was still wearing her maid\'s outfit; however, two of the chest buttons on her chest have been removed, revealing her snow-white cleavage.

He could also clearly see some blue veins hidden beneath the white skin of her two hills.

"Akna… that shirt…"

Akna glanced at Lathel, tilted her head, and calmly said: "I heard that men really like women who dress like this. Young master, don\'t you like it?"

Lathel: "…"

"I… really like it, but then other men will see it too." Lathel sighed and said: "You don\'t have to do things you don\'t like."

Hearing that, Akna got into the carriage and slowly crawled in front of Lathel. They locked eyes with each other because the distance was so close. Lathel just glanced down to see a landscape so beautiful that it made his desire feel like it was about to burn.

"Young master… if you like… then… you can touch." Akna said.

Hearing that, Lathel\'s heart trembled, but seeing that she was still extremely calm, and not showing any emotions, his desire slowly subsided.

He reached out, gently caressed Akna\'s face, smiled, and said: "If this is Ryne\'s order, you don\'t need to care. I also don\'t like it when you force yourself to do something you don\'t like."

"Akna, although you are my servant, perhaps one day you will find someone you truly love, someone you want to spend the rest of your life with."

"At that time, I will try to help you gain freedom, so that you can pursue your love."

Lathel really wanted to have a harem of his own; however, he also doesn\'t want to force someone else to sleep with him when that person doesn\'t love him.

He is greedy, and he likes beautiful women, but he also has a bottom line, which is a point he will probably never overcome.

Akna was surprised to hear that. She suddenly bowed her head and said: "Yes, I understand."

She stepped back, sat up straight, and looked at him: "Young master, this afternoon there is an auction of slaves and prostitutes, do you want to take a look?"

"Heh?! Really?" Lathel was also surprised: "Is it also allowed to trade slaves and prostitutes in this place?"

"That\'s right." Akna nodded: "At first, the Queen strictly prohibited this from happening. However, this is a common type of business in the world, and the Karol Empire cannot eliminate it."

"Besides… this type of business, along with brothels and casinos, are the types of businesses that pay the most taxes, that\'s why…"

Hearing that, Lathel nodded, showing that he understood. Like on Earth, the types of income and taxes that pay the most are cigarettes, alcohol, and beer.

More specifically, in countries that allow brothel and casino businesses, the amount of tax contributed to the government by them is extremely large.

However, Lathel is interested in another matter, which is the auction of slaves and prostitutes.

Akna saw that Lathel was excited and continued: "In this auction, there are many beautiful girls being auctioned. Most of them are clean because those girls are victims of war."

"War? Is there still war in this world? Lathel asked confusedly.

"That\'s right." "In reality, there are many wars taking place between different races, clans, kingdoms, and territories," Akna explained.

"After the war ended, the women of the losing side became the spoils of the victors."

"However, clean women will be sold to auctions or large brothels in exchange for gold coins."

"That amount of gold coins will be used by the victor to replenish the army and equip the soldiers."

Lathel nodded, feeling that this was an opportunity for him to create his harem.

\'Very good... no need to be too beautiful, good looks are fine. If it\'s a woman of another race, it\'s even better.\'

\'Finally… I can finally find a woman for my harem.\'

He looked towards Akna, his expression extremely happy: "So... this afternoon we will go to the auction. Ah! Do you know how much money it takes to buy a slave or a prostitute?"

When Akna saw Lathel\'s excitement, she felt a bit uncomfortable. She bowed her head, looked at the button on her shirt that she had opened, and thought.

\'Am I... not attractive enough?\'

\'Or… are my breasts not big enough?\'

Akna sighed and said: "Normally, the lowest value of a clean female slave ranges from 10,000 to 50,000 gold coins."

"If your status is higher and you are more beautiful, the price will be higher."

"In the past, there was a female slave who was worth 3,000,000 gold coins. She is a princess of a large kingdom, and she was still clean and quite beautiful."

"However, she has no magic talent, so the final value only stopped at 7 million gold coins."

"There are many people who think that if a girl has magic talent, it doesn\'t need to be too good; just any talent of rank D or even rank E is fine."

"Thus, her value will increase greatly, and she\'ll be worth around 5,000,000 gold coins."

"Is it that high?" Lathel was startled. At this time, he realised that Alec\'s decision to buy a girl\'s first night for 1,000,000 gold coins was extremely extravagant and wasteful.

However, Lathel had no right to blame Alec. The male protagonist will definitely receive things worth a thousand times more than those 1,000,000 gold coins.

Of course, if readers can see it, they will say that the main character is decisive and generous.

If a supporting character like Lathel did the same as Alec, he would definitely be cursed by readers for being flat-brained and dumb.
