I will confront the Pope

"That…" Lathel stammered: "Pope, don't misunderstand. It's because in the 'Trial Space,' Arine and I experienced many things, so we are quite close to each other."

"Do you think I'm a stupid woman?"

Lathel shuddered when he heard Lumiana say that: "Pope, I never thought so, you…"

"If you were just normal friends, then why was she crying?"

"She cried?"

"Yes, crying and mentioning your name."

Lathel: "..."

"I…"

"I don't forbid her from loving you, but… it seems like you don't like her, right?"

Lathel did not know how to respond to that question.

It must be known that he also had some feelings for Arine, but that was in his previous life.

Although she carries a scheming exterior, deep inside is a weak soul.

She uses her thorny shell to protect the weakness and softness inside.
