The supporting character's harem is very normal

Chapter 223 Meeting Rolen

"Golden Comet?" Lathel frowned and asked.

"That's right. A comet is a symbol of bad luck; she has blonde hair, so people gave her that nickname." Akna nodded and said: "Besides... if anyone comes close to her or participates in a mission with her, they will have bad luck."

"Is it that terrible?" Lathel was a little incredulous.

Akna took out a scroll from her space bag, opened it, and began to read: "Last time, she participated in a food escort mission to a village 30 miles from here."

"The road to transport the food was also very safe, as there have never been any robberies or monster attacks."

"Her teammates also have a lot of experience in cargo transport missions like this."

Hearing that, Lathel nodded, feeling that this mission was extremely simple, like a short trip.

"But they encountered a Drake that lost its way, then all the goods were destroyed, and the people accompanying her on this mission were all seriously injured, but she still returned safely. ."

Lathel: "…" (ˉ ˉ |||)

"Oy! Are you serious, she…"

"That's right." Akna nodded: "Most of the missions she took on were strangely unsuccessful."

"But she was very persistent; in just four days, she was able to upgrade Alec's Adventurer ID card from Bronze to Silver."

"But maybe the failure rate is too high, so the Adventurer Centre doesn't want to let her take quests anymore."

Lathel held his forehead, feeling extremely embarrassed and guilty. What that girl is suffering is all because of the 'Comet' card he received from the system.

But he swore that he did not intend to use that card. As soon as he received it, before he could even read the description of the card, it disappeared.

Lathel also didn't think it would be applied to anyone, so he wasn't worried at all.

In the end... that poor girl was suffering the curse of the card.

"Young master, you should remember that she is Alec's servant; your helping her means you are helping your enemy."

Hearing Akna speak, Lathel shook his head and replied: "Alec is not my enemy; he and I have the same teacher; we are fellow students. There was just a little conflict between me and him."

Akna glanced at Lathel and sighed in her heart: 'Young master, you are so honest that anyone can turn you into a clown.'

'But… I allow you to be honest. Young master, the maids are not ordinary maids...'

'We have every ability to protect you, young master. As long as he dares to harm you, I will let him feel hell.'

"Besides… that girl is also very pitiful; I want to help her a little."

"Young master…" Hearing this, Akna frowned and said: "There are many poor people in this world. That girl is Alec's servant. If she is in trouble, Alec will help her."

"But…" Lathel was about to say something more, but Akna interrupted him.

"Young master, do you want to help her, or... do you covet her body?" Akna looked at Lathel; her eyes seemed to be looking straight into his inner self, making him a little worried.

"Ack! Is this… Is there any difference?"

"Of course." Akna smiled and said: "If you want to help her, I advise you to give up that thought. But… if you covet her body, I will definitely help you."

"Why?" Lathel frowned and asked.

"If you only help her without asking her to repay the favour, she will likely betray you." Akna explained.

"If you desire her body, then I will make her your woman. That way, she can never betray you."

"Besides… that girl's potential is quite large; she's not an ordinary person."

Hearing that, Lathel frowned. He didn't know what to do. Even though he is a Duke, this position was not his but was given to him by Ryne.

He could see that Akna was the subordinate that Ryne trusted the most, so Akna's authority was not weak; on the contrary, it was many times higher than his.

If there was a conflict between him and Akna, Ryne would definitely trust Akna, not him.

Lathel sighed: "Okay, then... I…"

"Hm?! Young master, are you going to say something?" Akna walked closer to Lathel and brought her face closer to his.

At this time, Lathel could smell Akna's body scent; inside that scent was also a bit of the fishy smell of blood, making it even more mysterious.

"I… I like that girl a little bit." Lathel gritted his teeth and said, He felt like an asshole.

But he also didn't want to let that girl continue to suffer such bad luck.

"Good!" Akna smiled and said: "Young master, wait for me."

After she finished speaking, she went to the reception desk and spoke to the receptionist, who was talking to Rolen.

Lathel didn't know what Akna was saying, but the receptionist's expression was quite panicked, but then the girl pursed her lips and nodded.

Rolen was also extremely happy at this time, she bowed her head to thank Akna repeatedly, but Akna shook her head and pointed towards him.

Rolen saw Lathel and ran to him, happily saying: "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid my master would scold me and abandon me."

"It's okay…" Lathel smiled gently: "I'll only help you a little; you have to go the rest of the way yourself."

"I know, I…"

"Sorry for interrupting." Suddenly, Akna's voice rang out, interrupting Rolen's words: "Lady Rolen, have you forgotten something?"

Hearing that, Rolen pursed his lips and said softly: "I... I don't know how to repay you. I don't have money..."

At this time, Lathel realised that this girl's name was Rolen and also saw that she was quite beautiful. Especially the two mountains in front of her chest that were not proportionate to her small body.

Uck! Uck! Uck!

The sound from Rolen's stomach made her so embarrassed that her face turned red. She hugged her stomach, forced a smile, and said: "Sorry... I... I..."

Lathel frowned and asked: "Haven't you eaten anything yet?"

Rolen pursed his lips and, after a moment, said softly: "I... I haven't eaten anything in the past two days."

Hearing that, Lathel was a little confused: "What?! But… where is your master?"

"My master… he… He scolded me; he said I was unlucky, so he didn't care about me…" Rolen's eyes were wet, as if she were about to cry.

Seeing that, he sighed, feeling that the consequences of the 'comet' card were too great. But Alec was also too harsh, as he treated Rolen cruelly.

"Miss Rolen…" Akna suddenly spoke: "My young master bought a lot of food just now. If you want, you can have a meal with us."

"Heh?! Really?" Rolen shouted, her eyes shining at Lathel, but then she bowed her head, clutched her dress with both hands, and said: "But... I don't have money, I... I..."

"Don't worry." Akna smiled and said: "We don't need your money. Just a meal, nothing important."

"That's good, hehehe… but I eat a lot…"

"It's okay; young master also has a lot of food, so much that you can't finish everything in a month."

"So wonderful, thank you."

"Don't thank me, thank my young master." Akna pointed towards Lathel and said.

Hearing that, Rolen bowed his head and repeatedly thanked: "Thank you, thank you, thank you really."

Lathel felt that Rolen was very pitiful, a single meal was enough to make her happy. It also means that she has endured many hardships in the past.

'Strange...' Lathel thought to himself: 'Normally, anyone who follows the male lead will enjoy many special benefits, and they may even live in luxury.'

'But this girl is different, as she seems to have endured many hardships and even starved.'

'Rolen is also very beautiful, and any man that sees her will definitely like her. So does he not like her?'

Lathel felt extremely confused, but he didn't want to learn too much; he just wanted to help this girl a little.

"System." Lathel silently asked the system: "How long does the 'Comet' card last?"

[Ding! Cannot be calculated.]

Lathel: "…"

He shook his head and sighed: "You take Rolen back first, I want to visit someone, and then come back."

"Young master, I…"

"No need." Lathel interrupted Akna's words: "I want to go alone; anyway, you will send a team of maids to protect me, right?"

Akna heard that and nodded: "Yes, young master."

After that, Akna brought Rolen back on foot, Lathel climbed into the car compartment, and they went to the security team's headquarters.

Remembering Lafien, he felt a bit tired and thought to himself: 'Hopefully her personality will be a little better.'

…

On the way, Rolen held in her hand some snacks bought by Akna. She ate while showing a happy expression, as if she had never eaten these things before.

Rolen asked: "Akna, I... I eat so much; do you hate me?"

"No, why will I hate you?" Akna shook her head and asked.

"You really have a lot of money; these things are very expensive, I don't dare buy them."

"Very expensive?" Akna frowned, she seemed to realise something, and immediately asked: "How much does Alec pay you?"

"Hm… no, he doesn't pay me."

"What?!" Akna was a bit surprised, according to the intelligence she knew, Alec was given a lot of gold coins and medicine by Mardian. Could he be so stingy that he would starve a lovely girl like this?

"Actually, my salary is paid by the organisation."

"Your organisation?"

"Ack! Hehehehe… No, nothing. I mean... Alec pays me very little."

Akna frowned, silently remembering what Rolen had just said: 'She just mentioned an organisation behind him; is it possible... that there is another organisation behind Alec?'

'I need to investigate this matter clearly to avoid the young master being put in danger by the organisation behind Alec.'

"How many gold coins does he pay you?" Akna asked.

Rolen frowned and thought: "Hm... it's around 40 gold coins a year."

"What?!" Akna was startled and shouted: "You said... 40 gold coins a year?"

"Yes, it's a lot, right?" Rolen smiled and said somewhat senselessly: "I also feel that it is quite high."

"No! No! What! What the hell are you talking about? 40 gold coins a year; that's not enough money to feed a noble's dog for a year."

Rolen: "..."
