The supporting character's harem is very normal

Chapter 509: Do you think you can fool me?

"Empress Catheryne, please reconsider." Lathel hurriedly said: "You say I am Karol’s hero; if you bring me into the church, isn’t that the same as pushing me to my death?"

"It’s fine..." Catheryne lazily said, "Lumiana isn’t that kind of person. Besides, if you die in the church, I’ll level that place."

Lathel: "..."@@@@

What the hell? Am I the reason you guys are going to war?

"Alright..." Catheryne stood up, walked in front of Lathel, stretched out her soft hand, and patted his head: "I will definitely not let you suffer, my hero."

Lathel felt a strange sensation when she patted his head. This feeling was exactly similar to when Ryne patted his head; also, he remembered his previous life... Not when he was still living on Earth, but when he was on a mission for Dandite in that world, someone had also patted his head like this.

Lathel suddenly raised his head and looked straight into Catheryne’s eyes, causing her to be slightly startled. Although on the outside, her face showed no emotion, however, inside her heart it was as if a storm was raging.

’Lathel looked at me... his eyes... Why did they carry so much affection and anticipation?’

’Could it be...could it be...he likes me?’

’AW! Lathel, he likes me...

’No! So how should I deal with his feelings? Should I actively respond, or... try to keep a little distance?

Catheryne’s mind was filled with so many chaotic thoughts that she didn’t know what to say next.

The atmosphere became extremely awkward; Lumiana, who was sitting beside Lathel, looked at them strangely.

*Cough*

Suddenly, Lumiana pretended to cough, breaking the atmosphere. Catheryne immediately withdrew her hand, feeling a little regretful while Lathel was startled and came back to his senses.

"Lathel, don’t worry." Lumiana sighed and said, "I use my own honour and the Church’s to guarantee your safety."

"Naturally, I will announce this to all the surrounding kingdoms and clans. That way, if you encounter any danger, the Church will definitely be the first to be suspected."

Lathel felt a little relieved hearing that, however... he still looked at Lumiana with suspicion.

Lumiana didn’t pay attention to his gaze, frowning and saying: "So... how will you help me?"

Lathel saw that the validity period of the ’Trust Card’ was about to end and knew in his heart... Now, he had to rely on his own abilities.

However, that was enough; now, he just needed a small catalyst.

He took out a box from his space bag, placed it on the table, and said with a smile: "This is what will save you and this entire empire from the current dangerous situation."

Lumiana and Catheryne both looked towards the box placed on the table; their eyes seemed to want to see through the box to see what was inside.

Lathel didn’t let them wait long; he opened the box, revealing a small black pill inside. On the pill there were three lines that emitted a gentle yellow light.

"That is..." Lumiana asked, frowning.

"This is a level 2 healing and energy recovery potion."

"What does it have to do with helping my church out of its current situation?" Lumiana asked patiently.

"Don’t look down on it; I can tell you and Empress Catheryne my plan." Lathel laughed and said: "This is not just an ordinary level 2 recovery medicine; it is a perfect medicine."

Fortunately, someone reminded her and helped her change. Otherwise, I’m afraid that if this situation continues, the Church will certainly collapse in the future.

Lumiana looked at Lathel; the more she looked at him, the more she felt that this young man was more suitable for the title of Holy Son than Ikarys.

"Good! I understand." Lumiana said, "Prepare yourself; two days later, I will announce you as the Holy Son; after that, Ikarys is yours."

Lathel: "..."

Hey! Can you change the way you speak? It’s too easy for people to misunderstand the way you speak.

Lumiana said nothing, stood up, and left. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and said to him: "You can also call me Lumiana."

After saying that, she disappeared.

Lathel let out a sigh; he knew he had succeeded. However, in the next two days, he was afraid that something bad would happen.

Catheryne saw Lathel staring at the place where Lumiana had just stood and felt a kind of discomfort in her heart: "She’s gone. If you miss her so much, you can take your luggage to the church to look for her."

"Ah!" Lathel was startled; he felt like he had misheard because he heard a bit of jealousy and resentment in Catheryne’s words.

"That... Her Majesty..."

"Hm?!"

"No, I mean... Catheryne, I was just thinking about something." Lathel sighed and said, "I’m afraid that in the next two days, Ikarys might escape from prison."

That’s right, Ikarys is a male lead after all; he can do illogical things. Besides, Ikarys also has a system; Lathel is afraid that Ikarys might have a method to escape.

Even though it was only two short days, even though Ikarys was currently imprisoned in the Royal Prison, Lathel still couldn’t help but worry.

Catheryne knew what Lathel was worried about; she reassured him: "Don’t worry; that prison is equipped with energy-locking magic, and there is also a group of royal soldiers guarding the outside. Even if he grows wings, he won’t be able to fly out."

Lathel shook his head; he felt that it still wasn’t enough.

"On the contrary, that weapon you speak of... When will you complete it?"

Hearing Catheryne say that, Lathel knew she was talking about ’Guns’. He nodded and replied: "After returning, I will quickly complete the quantity required for phase 1 and deliver it to you."

"However, I need more time; my level is still low after all. I..."

"Do you think you can fool me?" Catheryne frowned and said: "You have reached level 40. Is level 40 low?"

Lathel panicked, "..." ( ̄ ̄ |||)

He forgot that Catheryne was in front of him and that his disguise skills were completely useless against her.

"I... this... Sorry, Catheryne."

"Huh!" Catheryne snorted in disdain: "Don’t worry, I won’t rush you. As long as phase 1 is completed, you can rest."

"When it comes to phase 2, I will tell you when I need it. Besides... Lumiana is not simple...

Even if Catheryne didn’t say it, he knew Lumiana was not normal. After all, she was a Pope; how could she be normal?

Moreover, with that beauty, along with her relationship with Ikarys, Lathel could guarantee that Lumiana was also a heroine.
