The supporting character's harem is very normal

Chapter 451  Ancestor's Oath

Thank you Luis_1372 for your gift - A Castle (^_^) Really happy with your gift

----

The Pope's words startled Catheryne, and she experienced a plethora of emotions.

However, in just a second, Catheryne immediately calmed down, suppressing all those emotions.

"How can I trust you?"

A ball of light flew outside the carriage and headed towards Catheryne.

Catheryne frowned, touched the glass ball, and countless images appeared in her mind.

Right now, Catheryne started sobbing... but it was due to happiness and hope. However, she quickly wiped away her tears.

She once again looked towards the carriage, frowned, and said: "Pope, even if Lathel is still alive, I still don't know when he will come back."

"Besides, your brat is the reason why Lathel fell into such a dangerous situation that he almost died."

"If there is not an answer that satisfies me, I can risk my life to bring down the church. After all, the Empire that has existed until now is not a sheep that only eats grass."

"I know…" the Pope said, her voice a little tired: "I will leave the Holy Son of the Church to you…"

"Um… um…" Hearing that, Ikarys quickly opened his mouth as if to say something; however, the sounds coming out of his mouth were muffled.

"However…" The Pope suddenly continued: "Until that young man returns, I will be coming here to examine Ikarys's sins."

"I hope you can keep him alive, at least until that person returns."

Catheryne frowned and looked towards the carriage. A moment later, the Fire Phoenix turned into countless sparks and disappeared. Her nine phoenix tails also completely disappeared.

She nodded slightly and said: "That's fine. When my man returns, I hope you can give a fair verdict."

"Of course." The Pope replied: "The Holy Son sacrificed my Holy Maiden out of fear of death. Of course I must resolve this matter clearly."

Catheryne nodded slightly. She and the Pope seemed to have reached some sort of agreement, so the Pope left with peace of mind.

As for Catheryne, she waved her hand to allow the soldiers to take Ikarys into custody. However, Fuxian now hurriedly approached Catheryne and asked: "Empress, the Holy Son is seriously injured; do we need to give him medicine to recover?"

Catheryne glanced at Ikarys, who was now like a rag. He was being dragged away by two soldiers, and he was leaving a long trail of blood on the ground.

"No!" Catheryne immediately replied: "He won't die that easily; don't worry."

Fuxian breathed a sigh of relief: "Ah! I'm just worried that he's lost too much blood or that when he wakes up, he'll realise he's no longer handsome, so he'll find a way to commit suicide."

"Wait! He lost both arms… This is very bad. If I were him, I would definitely commit suicide."

Catheryne: "…"

"Please be quiet for a moment; I have a headache."

Fuxian was startled when she heard that. She quickly closed her mouth and stood still; she did not dare to breathe loudly or move.

Catheryne looked at Fuxian and asked softly: "Do you know why I made that decision?"

Fuxian rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, then asked: "If I answer correctly, will I get a reward?"

"Guess…" Catheryne replied, her voice filled with murderous intent that made Fuxian tremble in fear.

"Ack! Sorry… I was wrong… sorry Queen."

"Huh! Quickly answer my question."

Fuxian breathed a sigh of relief, then replied: "I think… you have received news that Lathel is alive, right?"

"Oh! You are very right. How did you guess that?"

Fuxian replied: "Empress, can you deceive everyone? What was your expression when you heard the news of Lathel's death? The high-ranking nobles and I all saw it clearly." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"If Lathel dies, you will not easily let go of the Pope and the Holy Son."

"Therefore, my final conclusion is that… Lathel is alive."

"Exactly." Catheryne nodded in satisfaction.

"Next…" Fuxian continued: "Also, I think that you don't want to destroy this kingdom, right?"

Catheryne spoke as she walked: "That's right. Lathel is still alive; keeping this empire can help Lathel be happy. I also don't want to go to war with the church; that would be very troublesome and would take up a lot of time."

"After all, the church has existed for many years. Even though it has now degraded a lot, the strength within still cannot be underestimated."

"If war breaks out, even if we win, we will still lose a lot of things. I'm afraid 90% of the Empire will be destroyed."

"Even though I don't care too much about this empire, if Lathel is alive, he can stay here safely and happily. That's why I keep this place."

Fuxian: "…"

'Is this how the Empress spoils her men? Ah… is this how someone with enormous wealth and power entertains their partner?'

'It's worth admiring.'

Fuxian thought to herself. She suddenly remembered something and asked softly: "Empress, so... the engagement between me and him?"

"Don't worry, I will still keep your engagement. You must keep this a secret too, understand?"

Fuxian listened to Catheryne while continuously nodding like a chicken. Catheryne also glanced into the distance. When the nobles who were observing the situation saw Catheryne's gaze, they were so scared that they trembled.

They understood that she was warning them and telling them that if anyone revealed what happened today... they would definitely die.

Of course, no one dared to talk about this. They didn't want to joke with Queen Catheryne, as she can even kill people in the Royal Family, so a group of nobles are just a bunch of ants to her.

"So… Queen, what should we do next?"

Fuxian hurriedly asked. Catheryne then stopped walking, glanced at her, and said: "Please go and announce that the Demon Lord's seal is complete. As for the two people inside preparing to go out... let them leave."

"Their reward… I will let the soldiers deliver it to them later."

Fuxian immediately bowed her head and said: "Yes, I understand."

Catheryne walked to the throne and sighed. The corners of her mouth rose, revealing a smile like thousands of sunflowers blooming together.

"Lathel… he's alive. I know… My son cannot die so easily."

…

[Ding! The passive skill 'Bailout' has been activated.]

[Ding! Your body is starting to recover. Your life energy is starting to fill up.]

[Ding! The countdown is 7 days left.]

"Where is this?" Lathel muttered. He felt that his body was very comfortable; however... he couldn't move.

That's right, his body seemed to be immersed in softness, and each of his cells was dancing as if gaining a new source of life.

Very comfortable...so comfortable that it made him just want to sleep in this place forever.

Suddenly… The fog covering his memories dissipated a bit, and he saw a memory behind it.

"That is…"

…

Time passed very quickly, and during Lathel's absence, Claire seemed to be running on fumes.

Despite being supported by Akna, the maids, and even Captain Laura, who has created many conditions for Claire to manage the homeless area.

However… everything is still not enough. Money was gradually running out, and the homeless people gradually realised that. One by one, everyone left; now there were less than 100 people left.

The remaining people were all women, the elderly, and children. Basically... They have nowhere to go and don't know what to do to live.

They can only cling to this place and eat some hot soup to try to get through the remaining days.

Since Lathel disappeared, Akna has been like a soulless person. All day long, she sat on the roof, looking into the distance as if thinking about something.

Lilith also disappeared, and Charlotte crumbled into ashes. That amount of ash was collected and stored carefully by the maids.

However, they also don't know how to explain this to Lathel when he comes back. Besides, the maids are always sad and depressed since they don't know when Lathel will return.

Everyone knows he is still alive, but when he will be able to return is still a big mystery.

Today, a blonde girl with two bat wings on her back appeared at Farmyth's office window.

"Lusha?! What did you come here for?" Farmyth saw Lusha appear, frowned, and asked.

"Hehehehe…" Lusha smiled slyly and said: "Farmyrth, it's been a long time since you've visited your ancestors… Don't you intend to return once?"

"What do you mean?" Farmyrth frowned, her voice starting to show her discomfort.

Principal Farmyrth is usually very calm, sometimes a bit hot-tempered. However, if someone mentioned her relatives or ancestors, she would suddenly become angry, as if she had turned into a different person.

Only a few people know this secret, including Lusha.

"What I mean is…" Lusha entered the room, went to another table, picked up an apple, bit it, and said: "Hm… apples are delicious. Ah! What I mean is that you should visit your ancestors once. Perhaps… you will have unexpected joy."

"Why do I have to go back to that damn place?!" Farmyrth stood up; her murderous aura radiated extremely horribly, making the space cold.

Lusha shrugged, seemingly not afraid of her at all, but just smiled and said: "Are you still angry because of your ancestors' oath?"

"You…"
