Lathel sighed: "Don't trust me too much; this mission is too difficult; you should find someone more suitable."
Seeing his despair and fatigue, Dandite smiled and said: "Don't you want to revive Charlotte?"
Hearing that name, Lathel was immediately startled. He frowned and looked towards Dandite: "What do you mean..."
Dandite did not rush to answer; on the contrary, he continued asking: "Don't you want to rescue Lilith from the fate of the heroine?"
Lathel frowned and stared at Dandite: "Are you threatening me?"
Dandite laughed loudly: "Hahahaha… This is not a threat; I am helping you, Lathel. I am giving you a chance so you can reciprocate the feelings of those who love you."
"I am giving you a chance to live again, so you can continue to live the life you dream of."
"If it weren't for me… you… would be dead."
Hearing that, Lathel took a deep breath. At this moment, he felt the malice coming from Dandite.
Just like Dandite said, it seemed like he was just a small ant. If Dandite wants him to live or die, just one thought is enough.
There is no such thing as a free lunch. At this moment, Lathel understood that statement so clearly that it hurt.
"It seems… I am just a pawn in your hands." He sighed and said.
"There is no difference between the chess piece and the person playing the game." Dandite replied: "You are my pawn, but I am also someone else's pawn. We are different in that... I can only be here to watch you enjoy a few happy moments of life, and you are the one enjoying those moments."
Lathel was extremely surprised when he heard that. He raised his head to look at Dandite, as he couldn't believe that an existence like Dandite was still someone else's pawn in the end.
That means… Dandite isn't omnipotent either.
Lathel shivered, feeling as if he were caught up in some terrible plot.
However, he shook his head and sighed, not wanting to think anymore. Even if he knew this, with his current strength and abilities, he couldn't do anything to resist.
This is because the opponent is an existence that can control even a god.
As for him... he's just a normal person. Would a god pay attention to a screaming ant?
No!
Lathel finally accepted reality; he tiredly said: "So... I just need to deal with the bad male leads, right?"
"Hahahaha…" Dandite laughed loudly: "You finally accept this truth."
"Do I have any other choice?" Lathel frowned: "Even if I resist, everything will be meaningless, right?"
"That's right. But don't worry." Dandite consoled: "Defeating the evil male protagonists can help you receive Fate Points."
"Using Fate Points, you can exchange for many things; you can even revive Charlotte."
Lathel wasn't too surprised to hear that. After all, he had already looked at the Fate Point store. Inside, there are countless strange things, and he is afraid that just by appearing, countless people will have to frantically compete for them.
However, to buy those items, he needs to use Fate Points, and he can only get Fate Points when he kills the male protagonist.
Lathel sighed, nodded, and said: "I know, however... I want you to help me with something."
"Hm?! You want me to help you?"
"Yes, I want you…"
…
Lathel slowly opened his eyes. His eyes carried a bit of fatigue and boredom, but remembering that Dandite had agreed to help him, he immediately smiled with satisfaction.
"What are you laughing at, Lathel…"
Suddenly, Lilith's voice rang out. Lathel looked at her, smiled, and said: "Nothing, it's just... I just found a method that can help me restore your life energy and revive Charlotte."
"Hm?! Really?" Hearing that, Lilith was both happy and sad. Happy that she was able to recover, but even more sad.
That meant… he didn't seem to need her help too much.
However, Lathel probably knew Lilith's thoughts and asked: "Lilith, can you still fight?"
Hearing this, Lilith happily said: "Of course, even though I am old, my magical energy and strength have not decreased too much."
"Good! So… Tomorrow we will…"
"Lathel!" Lilith suddenly interrupted his words: "Tomorrow you have to go to Karol Magic Academy."
"Heh?! Why?" Lathel almost forgot that he needed to go to school, and besides, his dream was to become a student at a magic academy, to have enough experience in this world.
"Because… in the magic academy there are also ingredients to help me replenish life energy." Lilith smiled and said: "Besides, I don't want you to miss out on a wonderful experience in your life because of me."
"Besides, you must rely on the academy to have a slot to advance to Dorothy's Ancient Family; otherwise, you cannot revive Charlotte."
When Lathel heard that, his heart trembled with emotion. He gently held her wrinkled hand, smiled, and said: "Thank you, Lilith."
"Hehehe… Besides, I also have a surprise for you; you will know tomorrow."
Lathel nodded. Even though he didn't know what surprise Lilith had prepared, he thought... that the surprise was definitely interesting.
…
In the morning, Lathel, after spending three days practicing on his own in the 'Simulation Space', felt much more comfortable and confident.
Even though his current level was 40, he could confidently say that… even facing a level 80 master, he could still escape or even defeat the opponent.
Lathel put Charlotte's ashes in a small cloth bag and hung it around his neck.
Before, Charlotte could only sleep, unable to see the world around her. Now it's different; he can carry her everywhere with the hope of reviving her.
Lathel looked around but didn't see Lilith, so he asked Akna: "Did Lilith leave?"
Akna smiled and adjusted his outfit: "Yes, Young Master. Lilith left early."
Lathel frowned, feeling confused. He still remembered yesterday. Lilith said that today she would give him a surprise, and when he finally woke up, she left.
"Don't worry, go to the academy; Lilith is probably already waiting for you there." Akna smiled and said: "After all, Lilith and Principal Farmyrth are close friends."
"Ah!" Hearing that, Lathel nodded with peace of mind. In any case, he and Lilith had established their relationship.
Although this relationship was kept in the dark, he completely trusted Lilith and did not think that she would disappear again.
"Has Rolen adapted to life here yet?" Lathel asked.
"Besides, the other maids also like her very much and support her a lot. However, what about Young Master… Irittelis?"
"Yes." Akna nodded and replied: "She was a maid here for a short time. Now that she's back, she doesn't need to spend much time adapting."
"Besides, the other maids also like her very much and support her a lot. However, what about Young Master… Irittelis?"
"Don't worry." Lathel smiled and said: "I believe she is still safe. Also, when she comes back, she will be completely different from before."
Tick!
Lathel gently flicked her index finger in the middle of Akna's forehead: "You also have to try; don't let her surpass you too much, understand?"
Akna smiled, not angry, but instead kissed him lightly on the lips: "I know, Director."
Lathel was startled, but then laughed and said: "Ah! Female secretary and director, this could be made into a movie."
"What kind of movie do you want it to be?" Akna said, hugging Lathel's waist and resting her head on his chest.
Lathel knew what kind of movie Akna was talking about, of course... he also liked it very much.
A moment later, Lathel got on the carriage and headed towards Karol Academy. As for Akna, she was drinking water and cleaning her mouth. Of course, everyone understood what just happened.
Although Lathel could bring a maid to the academy, today was his first day of school, and Lilith was at the academy, so he didn't need to bring Akna.
…
Karol Magic Academy.
Lathel stood in the central square of the academy, looking at the majestic and magnificent architecture as if he were in the movie 'Lord of the Rings'.
Right after Lathel got off the carriage, a middle-aged man walked up to him, bowed his head, and said: "Duke Lathel, I am Mody, the general manager of Karol Academy."
"Hello, Manager Mody." Lathel nodded in response. He spoke without disdain as he showed Mody some respect.

Mody also nodded and said: "Principal Farmyrth is waiting for you in the office; please follow me."
Lathel agreed, following Mody.
Along the way, Mody also showed Lathel several areas of the academy.
Lathel also realised that... the inside of the academy was even larger than the outside.
It was like a city surrounded by walls, towers, and surrounding forests.
After walking for more than thirty minutes, Lathel finally arrived at Principal Farmyrth's office.
Mody stood aside, signalling for Lathel to enter the room.
Lathel nodded and said: "Thank you, Manager Mody. This is a little gift for you; please accept it."
"This…" Mody was startled, after seeing Lathel take out a small box from his space bag he immediately refused: "Sorry, I can't accept it. This is my responsibility, I…"
"Don't worry." Lathel smiled and replied: "This is just a small gift; consider it a first meeting gift. In the future, I hope you can help me more."
Seeing Lathel so enthusiastic, Mody also politely accepted the gift from him.
"So… while Duke Lathel is studying here, if you need any help, I will definitely try to help you."
"Then I also thank Manager Mody in advance." Lathel smiled and nodded.
Mody took the small box and left. Lathel took a deep breath, walked to the front door of the room, then knocked.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Come in!"
As soon as the door opened, Lathel immediately saw two familiar faces waiting for him in the room.
Lathel smiled and said: "Principal Farmyrth, Master Lilith..."
