Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough

At that moment, the girl seemed to have made up her mind;

She pursed her thin lips, then reached out and pinched Rod's nose with her fingers:

"Because I don't want the thing I cherish most to get hurt."

It remains the purest and most profound love confession.

But Rod realized that things were different now; these were words that truly carried emotion.

Therefore, he gave a helpless smile:

"it is good."

Right now, the only person he needs to care about emotionally is Felicity, so he can just satisfy her.

The cunning Rhodes still knew how to navigate the emotions of young girls.

Although Lilith suppressed the situation last week, it doesn't mean he didn't encounter this situation.

A girl's emotional outburst can cause chaos within the team, and as the captain, he naturally understands the principle of giving his full support in one-on-one situations and getting by in one-on-many situations.

As for the loser standing to the side...?

Who knows?

"Ok?"

Lilith's previously indifferent expression vanished instantly, and she looked at Felicity.

What does it mean?

A flicker of panic rose again as she recalled the strange behavior of Rhodes and Felicity at the banquet...

No, no way... Rod just had a fight with her, how could he possibly fall for an idiot like Felicity?

She quickly dismissed that possibility.

But speaking of it,

In fact, Lilith's current situation is similar to that of some bad mini-games.

She is currently undertaking a mission assigned by Rhodes called 'Reconciliation,' and only after completing the mission and reconciling will she have the opportunity to restore their relationship.

But she was unaware that her lover had already been taken by someone else in places and in places she was unaware of, and was constantly getting involved in other emotional relationships.

This is so interesting...

"Alright, alright, it was just a little incident. I don't know why the witch suddenly attacked." Rhode patted Felicity's head.

He knew she was deliberately trying to annoy Lilith, but there was no need to take care of Lilith's feelings.

“Mm.” Felicity nodded to Rhodes.

"And then, thank you, Miss Lilith, for protecting Rhodes for me. Thank you."

Felicity got off Rhodes and extended her hand, smiling brightly as she prepared to shake hands with Lilith.

Lilith simply turned her head away, coldly ignoring her.

nonsense.

Felicity's every word seemed to be deliberately trying to disgust her. What did she mean by "on your behalf"?

Do I need to do the things I need to do for you?

A fire ignited within her, but she didn't know how to retaliate, and she knew that cursing someone as an idiot was unnecessary.

But at that moment, Rhodes spoke:

"That's fine then, Lilith. You go back inside first. I have something to say to Felicity."

"Huh?" Lilith looked puzzled, blinking her eyes. "Why did you let me go first..."

"You should go back. That counts as a request."

"..." Lilith pursed her lips, her fingers clenched tightly, her face stiff and embarrassed.

Rod actually drove her away and deliberately created a situation where he was alone with Felicity?

He was deliberately trying to annoy her...

Her chest heaved with a hint of anger, but she quickly calmed down.

After all, the fact that Rhodes was willing to make him angry meant that he still cared about him, right? He just wanted to use this method to get revenge for the mistakes he had made in the past.

Yes, that's right.

Therefore, as long as she can calm Rhodes down and get him to do his job properly, the conflict can be resolved.

After all, he and Felicity couldn't really do anything.

They're completely innocent. If Cecilia and Rhodes had been alone together, Rhodes would have been doomed, but Felicity would have been fine.

But, but...

She was the one who protected Rhodes, she was the one who killed Cangwen... yet now she wants to leave the scene.

All the resentment arose at this moment.

"it is good……"

But in the end, he still managed to utter that frustrated cry and turned to leave.

The loser is out.

She was once the person at the very center of the stage, but now she doesn't even have the right to compete for this love.

If she knew the truth, if she knew that Felicity had run away, she would probably become a real loser, clinging to Rhodes' hand and begging him desperately.

To put it bluntly, she still harbored a glimmer of hope, believing that Rhodes would continue to wait for her.

Chapter 72 If you keep doing this, I'm really going to detain you (3k)

As Lilith's figure receded from their sight, Horenard spoke up:

"Since Lord Rhodes is safe and sound, I will not bother you any further."

“Alright.” Rhodes nodded. “Your Grace, please get some rest as well.”

"However, Lord Rhodes."

Before turning to leave, the Duke said, "I am naturally very happy that Princess Felicity and you have finally achieved your happy ending, but... I hope that you can take care of Vina."

Horenaard still managed to utter those words that were difficult to say.

Rhodes' body stiffened slightly.

He could feel Felicity's gaze become fixed on him at that moment.

That's right. The little bit of love that the girl managed to salvage is something she can't let anyone else take away so easily.

So even such a casual remark was enough for her to want to lock Rhodes in a dark room and exploit him ruthlessly.

Her pure desire was to greedily possess Rhodes, to hold the man who had redeemed her childhood tightly in her arms.

Rhodes just wants to say,

This duke... doesn't he understand that you can't casually bring up other people when you're talking to a girl, at least not about that kind of thing?

"I... um, okay." Rhodes could only nod reluctantly, since he couldn't say no anyway.

"Well then, I'll take my leave." Horenad bowed with his arms, then turned and, like Lilith, disappeared from their sight like the wind.

“Hilary.” Rod glanced at Felicity, wanting to change the subject and say something, but…

"Shh." Felicity stretched out her delicate fingers and tightly pinched Rod's mouth, trying to prevent him from saying a word.

"I don't want to hear anything unpleasant when it's just the two of us, okay?"

“Hmm.” Rhodes nodded.

Felicity let out a soft sigh, her heart still aching, and she pinched Rod's cheek again with her soft little hand before finally letting go.

She's in a really tough spot right now.

Although it is possible to share love with another person in this world, in the end, all the girl wanted was for him to look at her alone.

But frankly, she wasn't a really bad person, and she understood that Ivina needed someone to save her.

Besides, Miss Ivina might not be rescued anyway, and even if she is, she might not really fall in love with Rhodes.

So, minding her own business, she eventually changed the subject, her lips uttering:

"Luo, Lilith, you two just...did you already..."

"Yes, we had a huge argument and erased the past from history," Rod boldly admitted.

There's nothing to deny.

"So, in other words, Lilith now... is just someone exiled to the frontier, unworthy of being pitied?"

Felicity's amber eyes flashed with an unusual light, as if she was deliberately venting all her past grievances.

"I guess so," Rhodes nodded.

Felicity covered her lips with her hand, her laughter as clear as a bell;

"That arrogant god just cried, didn't he? I heard it, after all, he's right next door."

"It really makes me feel good..."

Rhodes's face froze.

Felicity, why does she seem... a little cunning?

"Luo, what's the situation now? She's begging you to change your mind?" She blinked again.

"Pretty much. I made her complete one thousand of my tasks unconditionally." Rhodes' expression showed a hint of weariness.

"Huh? Then, does that mean I can bully her too?"

No, wait, it doesn't seem like he's a bit cunning.

Rod reached out and quickly tapped Felicity on the head;

"Hey. What are you doing..."
