The supporting character's harem is very normal

Chapter 317 Cooperation (4)

"Sorry, Duke… I… if I did anything wrong, please punish me. Please..." Volan could no longer keep calm at this moment; she immediately knelt on the ground as she spoke.

Lathel: "…"

He glanced at Akna and whispered: "Oy! Do I look scary?

"Hm…" Akna tilted her head to look at him, then said: "No! Young master, you are very handsome, very gentle..."

Lathel heard that and couldn't believe what Akna had just said. He sighed, looked at Volan, and said: "I'm not angry; I just want to meet the owner of this place to discuss cooperation."

"Cooperate?" Volan was startled. She thought for a moment and then said: "Please wait a moment, Duke; I will call my master."

Volan quickly stood up, bowed politely, and then went out.

Lathel looked at the pile of food on the table and shook his head: "Akna, don't you eat?"

"No, Young Master. Since eating the food you cooked, I can't eat anything else." Akna bowed her head and said.

Lathel: "…"

'It seems… I just increased everyone's appetite significantly.' Lathel thought in his heart.

He frowned and asked: "So what do you usually eat?"

"Energy Medicine."

Lathel: "…"

"Are the other maids like you?"

Akna nodded: "That's right, they only use energy medicine. Since the young master lost consciousness, we haven't eaten anything other than it."

He sighed and held his forehead: "Okay, from tomorrow on, I will try to make time to cook for you."

Akna was startled, so she hastily explained: "Young master, we don't want you to waste your precious time preparing food for servants like me."

Lathel: "…"

He saw Akna hastily explain. Although she refused, her eyes were full of anticipation and excitement.

"No, I really like cooking."

"Really, Young Master?" Akna asked happily. Although her face was expressionless, her eyes were extremely excited.

"Of course. Have you seen the food here? I don't like any food; perhaps only the food I cook myself can satisfy me."

"Wow! A Duke who knows how to cook, you surprise me."

Suddenly, a voice rang out, startling Lathel and Akna.

Akna frowned and clenched her fists, preparing to fight at any moment.

Lathel was different. He looked towards the door, and he felt that the voice that spoke made him see the space in front of him turn pink.

[Ding! The 'Adaptation' talent is activated, starting to resist enchantment magic.]

[Ding! You have 30% resistance to enchantment magic; the resistance process is increased.]

The seduction magic only affected Lathel a little, and immediately after that, the image in front of him immediately returned to normal.

As soon as the door opened, Lathel saw a girl enter.

Completely different from Lathel's imagination, he thought that the owner of this place must be a grown woman or a seductive Succubus with revealing clothes.

But he was wrong; the person who appeared was an extremely lovely girl. She was so adorable that he just wanted to hug her and gently caress her face.

Her pink hair was slightly curly at the back, and it was floating like a cloud, and her eyes were full of vivacity like those of high school girls.

Her whole body radiated a gentle pink aura, making Lathel feel the breath of spring, as if he were reliving his school days on Earth.

The girl covered her mouth and smiled charmingly: "Oh! Are you not affected by my bewitching magic? You surprise me even more, human."

"Withdraw your enchantment magic, lowly Succubus." Akna frowned and stood up. A cold black smoke emitted around her body.

"Hm?! Your maid?" The pink-haired girl glanced at Akna and said, "Wait!"

The girl suddenly frowned; her high and lovely nose moved a bit as if she were perceiving something.

"Wow! Did you… did you just sleep with this young man? But… this 'milk' smell is so strong, and the quality is so high. This is the first time I've smelled such a high-quality 'milk'."

"Oy! That's your 'milk', right? I'm very curious... What does it taste like?

She licked her lips as she spoke, her eyes showing a bit of greed, as if she wanted to tear off all of Lathel's clothes and explore every millimetre of his body.

Lathel shivered, feeling scared by that girl's eyes. He gritted his teeth and asked: "Are you the owner of this place?"

Lathel quickly looked for another topic to talk about, but the girl didn't seem to care about his question as she quickly walked in front of him.

Akna also stood up at this time, blocking Lathel: "Please step back, lowly Succubus."

"Ah! Indeed, that 'milky' smell was coming from this young man." The pink-haired girl licked her lips and said: "Hm… the quality is very good, very much. However, why do you have to waste such high quality 'milk' on a lowly servant like this?"

"Are you teaching my master how to choose a woman?" Akna said her voice was extremely cold, as if it had made the surrounding space freeze.

"That's right, I want to teach him a little about how to choose a woman and…" The girl said, lifting her two large and soft mountains with both hands: "I also want to teach him a little that can help a woman 'ascend to heaven', hahahaha..."

Akna frowned and said contemptuously: "You're shameless!"

"Hahahaha… If I were shy, this place wouldn't be as developed as it is today, my little girl." The pink-haired girl smiled as she spoke while playing with her pink hair, making her even more adorable.

"You…" Akna gritted her teeth, and her face, which rarely showed emotions, suddenly became extremely angry.

The atmosphere gradually became heavy and reeked of gunpowder.

"Enough!" Lathel suddenly spoke up, causing the pink-haired girl and Akna to turn and look at him.

"Akna, calm down a bit."

Hearing Lathel's words, Akna glanced at the pink-haired girl with a warning, then retreated back and sat next to him.

Lathel looked at the pink-haired girl, smiled friendly, and motioned for her to sit down: "I'm only here to discuss business cooperation. If you want this place to develop better, you can sit down and discuss."

"If you don't want to, then I will pay for everything I used at ten times the price, and then leave immediately."

The pink-haired girl frowned upon hearing that, her face carrying a bit of annoyance and a bit of contempt.

She sat on the chair, crossed her legs, and supported her chin: "Ah! Cooperation… What do you mean you want to collect fees or taxes here?"

"Tax collection?" Lathel asked confusedly: "It's normal for this place to pay taxes to the Empire; why will I collect taxes from you?"

"Hmm?!" The pink-haired girl frowned: "Don't pretend to be naive; any noble would want to get a hold of this delicious piece of meat."

"For many years I have managed and developed business here; many nobles have come here and said they want to cooperate with me."

"However…"

BANG!

Suddenly, the wine bottle in the distance immediately exploded, as the wine spilled onto the ground and fragments of the bottle flew everywhere.

"They all want to eat this whole place. They say they will protect me and make it easier for me to develop my business, but in reality, they want to share in the profits from this place."

"Duke, do you want that too? If what I say is right, please leave before I get angry."

Akna frowned and immediately stood up. She held her daggers, which were emitting a strange and extremely cold stream of black smoke.

"Little girl… Do you think I can make a place here in Karol thanks to my beauty alone?" The pink-haired girl laughed, her voice carrying a bit of contempt and terrible murderous intent.

Akna tightly grasped the two daggers, silently complaining that this woman was much stronger than she thought.

"Hm… so… Do you want to cooperate or not?" Lathel was still extremely calm at this time; his face showed sincerity and friendliness, making her a bit... confused.

'He… seems very different from other nobles. He was not affected by my bewitching magic, and he openly loves his maid.'

'Besides... His 'milk' seems to be of extremely high quality. Even if there's just a little scent left, it makes me feel extremely excited.'

The pink-haired girl now smiled a bit pleasantly and said: "Irinnara Tinryss, you can call me Tinryss."

"Lathel, just call me Lathel; no need to add 'Duke'." Lathel replied with a smile.

"So… Duke… ah, I mean… Lathel, how do you want to cooperate?" Tinryss smiled and said, with an expression as if she were listening attentively.

However, in her heart, she was still extremely vigilant. As long as he says anything to make her uncomfortable, she will definitely make him live an even more miserable life than death.

Lathel was not afraid at all; he smiled: "I want to ask a few things. I hope you can answer truthfully, so we can easily cooperate."

"Good!"

"First… What is the daily profit of this place?"

Hearing Lathel's question, Tinryss immediately felt uncomfortable and thought in her heart: 'It seems... he is like other nobles, wanting to get a mouthful of this delicious meat.'

Tinryss was not afraid of Lathel either, and she immediately said: "About 500 to 1,000 gold coins. Sometimes the profit will be up to 3,000 gold coins."

"Heh?! So little?" Lathel was a bit surprised and immediately spoke.

Tinryss shrugged and said: "That is the final profit, flowing into my pocket. Most of this place's income is used to pay for courtesans, cooks, waiters, and thousands of other things."

"Oh! It seems... you respect the prostitutes here very much, so you only profit very little for yourself."

"That's right." Tinryss also did not lie and immediately replied: "I consider them my friends, after all, they have very little time to do this job."

"After only 10 years, or a maximum of 20 years, they become withered flowers."

"The money they win while working here cannot help them have a better life."

Tinryss said while paying attention to Lathel's expression; however, she was surprised when Lathel still listened seriously.

He nodded and said: "So... Do you want to increase everyone's income?"
