Chapter 330 Ryne's pampering

"Wait! Mom, what the hell are you talking about?" Lathel quickly spoke up: "Is she my fiancee?"

"That's right." Ryne smiled and nodded: "What's wrong? Don't you like her? Is she not pretty enough or…"

"Ack! That…" Lathel was a bit confused; he didn't know what to say at this time because Ryne surprised him too much.

"Mom Ryne, this… is a bit surprising; she and I don't even know each other."

Ryne smiled and patted his head: "It's okay. Lathel, you don't know her, but she knows you very well."

"I provided almost all information about you to her, and of course, I did not force her."

"But…" Lathel glanced at Fuxian, then sighed and said: "Mom, I really don't know who she is; this is too fast. At least, I want to spend some time with her first."

In fact, Fuxian is very beautiful, and she possesses a kind of traditional beauty. Of course, when Ryne brought him a beautiful woman, he felt very happy. How could he refuse?

However, at least he wanted to have some time to get to know her and know what kind of person she was.

Ryne smiled; she waved her hand, signalling for Fuxian to go out first. Seeing this, Fuxian quickly stood up, bowed to Ryne and Lathel, then went out.

As soon as the door closed, Ryne looked at him and said: "Lathel, Fuxian is a good girl. Besides… she is Queen Catheryne's trump card."

"What?!" Lathel was startled at this moment: "What do you mean..."

Ryne nodded and continued: "There are many sources saying that... Queen Catheryne wants to cultivate Fuxian, so that she can become the next Queen."

Lathel was so surprised at this moment that he stammered: "This... she... but... an important person like her, how could she intend to become my fiancee?"

"Besides… Queen Catheryne… Will she agree to this?"

Ryne smiled and said: "Of course. With the Queen's consent, I can't let her become your fiancee."

"Besides… The queen also agrees to this. After all, Fuxian is a woman from a tribe that is not under the Empire's control."

"That is why only making her an official resident of the Empire can let her serve the Empire with peace of mind."

"The best way to make her an official resident of this Empire is… to marry a high-ranking noble. After the Queen chose from among the Empire's countless men, she decided on you."

Lathel felt confused hearing that. He felt like this was the main character's plot, but right now, that plot fell on him.

"But… Why me?" Lathel frowned and asked: "Mom, is there any mistake here?"

"I am not actually a resident of this Empire, I obtained the title of Duke thanks to you."

Ryne shook his head and replied: "Lathel, don't underestimate yourself; everyone knows what you did thanks to the newspapers."

"You alone faced off against two geniuses, you even went against the Demon Lord and the Darkness King. During the second round of the exam, you also rescued many other candidates and the academy's staff."

"Queen Catheryne knows very well what you did. That's why she wanted to give you a special title to reward you."

"This…" Lathel scratched his head. He didn't think that the things he did out of temporary emotions would have such a big impact.

In fact, good things like this should belong to the main character, not him. However, this time is different. He wants to kill Alec and Harris; that's why he has to take advantage of the main character's opportunities.

Or if he can't get it, at least he has to prevent them from getting those opportunities.

Lathel frowned, thought of something, and said: "Good! However, right now I still have a lot of work to do, and I can't spend time getting to know Fuxian."

"I hope you and the Queen can understand me."

"Of course." Ryne smiled and replied: "Don't look down on her either. Raised by the Queen to be her successor, she is definitely not ordinary."

"If you have a problem to solve, perhaps… you could ask her."

Lathel rubbed her chin and said: "Uhm! I will try. Thank you, Mom."

"Hahahaha… Why do you need to thank me? I am your mother; of course I have to give you the best."

Lathel nodded and smiled: "I still want to say thank you to you. Mom, you treat me so well, but I haven't done anything to repay you."

"You're so stupid…" Ryne shook his head, smiling gently: "I don't need you to do anything for me. As long as you live well and happily, that's enough to make me happy."

"But… if you want to repay me, then…"

Ryne suddenly smiled mysteriously, pointing to her cheek: "You can kiss me."

Hearing that, Lathel felt a bit confused: "This..."

"Ah! I know… I'm very bad, sorry… I shouldn't have asked for this." Ryne bowed his head and hastily explained.

"No, I don't care about your appearance. It's just..." Lathel sighed and said: "I feel like this is something we shouldn't do."

"Why? It's normal for a boy to kiss his mother, right?" Ryne immediately asked.

Hearing that, Lathel felt that Ryne's words were very reasonable. Anyway, she defined their relationship as mother and son; besides, a son kisses his mother, which is extremely normal.

He nodded and smiled, then gently kissed Ryne's cheek.

When Ryne felt Lathel's lips touch her cheek, her face was as red as embers, and her heart was beating rapidly.

"Wow! Lathel, you are truly my good son." Ryne was so happy that she couldn't control herself, so she hugged him.

"Ack! Ryne… no… Mom… Mom…" Lathal struggled, trying to escape her horrible, fatty flesh.

He didn't feel disgusted; he just couldn't breathe.

A moment later, he finally escaped Ryne's loving embrace.

"Mom, can you stop hugging me so tightly? Wait! Have you lost more than 7kg?

"That's right." Ryne happily nodded: "Thanks to your method, I have lost a lot of weight. If we continue like this, in just one month, we will reach our ideal weight."

Lathel was also happy to hear that: "Mom, I don't care about beauty, but your weight will affect your health."

"Losing weight not only makes you more beautiful but mainly makes your health better, do you understand?"

Ryne nodded: "I understand. Thank you, Lathel."

She suddenly remembered her past life and felt extremely regretful. If she had continued to stay by his side at that time, trying to make him accept her feelings, perhaps she would have enjoyed his warmth.

'No! There's still time now. God has given me a second chance, and I will definitely cherish this chance.'

'Lathel, I have prepared a very careful plan; you will definitely not escape my arms.'

Lathel suddenly felt a strange emotion flash through Ryne's eyes.

However, he didn't care too much. Suddenly, Ryne continued: "Lathel, I know about you and Charlotte being vampires."

"This…" Lathel was startled; he gritted his teeth, sighed, and said: "Sorry, Mom. I…"

"No." Ryne suddenly grabbed his hands and gently caressed them: "Don't worry, I know it's normal for you to hide that from me."

"I will definitely not reveal this information. But… I tried to bring back the engagement with Fuxian because of this."

"What do you mean…" Lathel asked in confusion.

"I know you are having a headache about the issue of life energy for Charlotte as her condition is getting worse." Ryne sighed and said.

"Even though medicines with the function of replenishing life energy can help her, however, they have their limits. Besides, that's not the best solution."

"As I said, Fuxian comes from a tribe that is not under this empire's control. However, that tribe has a very strange type of magic."

"That type of magic can help prolong youth, and it can even replenish life energy."

"Really?!" Lathel was startled and asked: "So... if I marry Fuxian, can I possess that kind of magic?"

"Hahahaha…" Ryne laughed loudly: "My foolish son, if everything was that simple, I would have taken that magic and given it to you immediately."

"The problem is more complicated than you think. Fuxian is the daughter of the patriarch. Only the patriarch has the right to bestow that type of magic on others."

"To marry Fuxian, you must go through the approval of the patriarch, who is also Fuxian's father. After that… you must overcome many trials."

"If you overcome all those trials and marry Fuxian, you will have the magic that many people of that tribe crave."

Hearing that, Lathel nodded, thinking to herself: 'It seems... I definitely have to win this plot. Wait! If I take over the plot, will the system punish me?'

He frowned. Since that battle, the system didn't seem to give him warning messages when he had thoughts of killing Harris and Alec.

In his heart, he thought, could the system allow him to do that?

Lathel didn't know, but… he could try to probe the limits of the system.

If he knew the system's limits, he could act more easily. In the future, if any male protagonist wants to cause trouble with him, he can also resist.

"Thank you, Mom. I will seriously think about this matter."

"Uhm!" Ryne nodded, gently patting Lathel's head like a true mother: "Do you still have gold coins?"

"This… Mom, don't worry, I have a lot left…"

"Hahaha…. If you had that much, you wouldn't use the card I gave you to buy Iritellis, right?"

Listening to Ryne, Lathel felt extremely embarrassed. Using his 'mother's' money to buy slaves was a shameful act.

"I… I will return that money to you."

"Do not speak like that. Lathel, you can use that money for whatever you like, I won't blame you." Ryne held his hand and spoke gently.

"I'm just afraid you don't have enough money to use. I also know that you intend to cooperate with Miconia and Tinryss, right?"

"If you want to do business, you need a large amount of money. This card contains 1 billion gold coins; you can use it as you wish."

Lathel: "…"

"Mom! I have a feeling you're the one printing illegal money, right?"
