The Heroines Can Read My Secret Diary

Looking at Laeticia before her, Charlotte's face carried a hint of excitement, like a little fangirl meeting her admired idol.

Seeing this, Hakuto asked Charlotte, "Do you admire Laeticia?"

"Of course. Laeticia is known as the contemporary Saintess. She is our Jeanne D'Arc."

Hakuto looked at Laeticia with some curiosity. "What did you do to make someone become your little fangirl?"

A slightly embarrassed look appeared on Laeticia's face. "I didn't do much. I just hunted down some demons. Who knew that the story would get more and more exaggerated as it spread, and eventually, I became known as the contemporary Jeanne D'Arc."

"Demons? There are still demons alive? I thought all those demons from back then were already dead. I didn't expect there were still demons alive. That surprises me a bit."

"Although most of those demons from back then were destroyed, some still escaped."

"So you hunted down those remaining demons, were seen by people, the story spread, and it got more and more exaggerated until you were seen as the modern-day Jeanne D'Arc?"

Laeticia nodded somewhat sheepishly. After all, Laeticia found this a bit shameful. Jeanne D'Arc and so on—although she could indeed incarnate as Jeanne D'Arc, she wasn't Jeanne D'Arc herself. Being called that by others still made her feel very awkward.

"Well, you've really had a hard time. But Laeticia, you appearing here now probably isn't a coincidence. You came looking for me."

Laeticia nodded. "You completely erased the territory of Vatican City back then. Now, all that's left of Vatican City is a huge lake. So to prevent France from suffering the same fate, I naturally came to find you to avoid France going down the same path as Vatican City."

Charlotte stared wide-eyed at Laeticia, not believing her ears when she heard Laeticia just said that Hakuto destroyed Vatican City.

Seeing Charlotte's surprised expression, Hakuto reached out and stroked her head, then kissed her. "No matter what I am, I am still me."

Laeticia looked at Hakuto and Charlotte with a sour expression. It should have been her being doted on by Hakuto like this. But somehow, it was Charlotte who had gotten ahead of her. So frustrating, so frustrating!

Charlotte's face had turned bright red from Hakuto's words. But suddenly, she noticed a sour glance. Instantly, a strange feeling rose in Charlotte's heart.

'Could it be that Laeticia likes Hakuto?'

The moment this thought popped into her head, Charlotte couldn't help but be startled. Laeticia actually liked Hakuto. That meant she was competing with Laeticia for a man?

'No, no, no. Hakuto had so many girlfriends. It wasn't me competing with Laeticia for a man. And speaking of which, it should be Hakuto who was whisking away innocent girls.'

Charlotte glanced at Hakuto, a blush rising on her face.

Thinking of Hakuto's strong body, Charlotte's face couldn't help but feel hot. Seeing the interaction between Charlotte and Hakuto, Laeticia couldn't help but feel even more jealous.

Her gaze towards Charlotte grew increasingly sour.

"Hakuto, I came this time to ask you to persuade Great Ming to stop the war between France and Britain."

Hakuto looked at Laeticia. "When France invaded Britain before, I didn't see you come out to advise France not to invade. That's double standards. 'I can hit you, but you can't hit me.' Do you think that's appropriate?"

Laeticia's face instantly turned red. She explained somewhat flusteredly, "It's not like that. I didn't know France was going to invade Britain before. If I had known, I would have definitely stopped France."

"But it didn't happen, did it? France still invaded Britain. And now, you're asking Britain not to seek revenge. Do you think that's appropriate?"

Laeticia looked at Hakuto with resentful eyes. He knew very well that wasn't what she meant, yet he insisted on saying this. It was really annoying.

Looking at Laeticia's resentful expression, Hakuto remained unmoved, and even wanted to laugh a little.

On what grounds did Laeticia make such a request to Hakuto?

Could it be that just because they had met two years ago, Laeticia came to ask him to stop the war between Britain and France?

If that was the case, it would be too ridiculous.

Seeing Hakuto's expression, Laeticia said somewhat awkwardly, "I know this is difficult for you. So I can offer myself as the price for your help."

Hakuto raised his hand to interrupt what Laeticia was about to continue saying. "Miss Laeticia, we only met once two years ago. Also, although you are beautiful, don't think too beautifully. I won't give up the interests between nations because of you. Don't talk about offering yourself as the price. It's true that you are strong with the Jeanne D'Arc, but that's all."

Hakuto's words were somewhat direct and hurtful. Laeticia was a bit angry, but in the end, she felt somewhat defeated.

Given Hakuto's personality, he certainly wouldn't give up the interests between nations because of a woman.

If Hakuto did give up, he wouldn't be Hakuto. He wouldn't be that iron-blooded and ruthless Emperor Shengzong.

"No matter what, I don't want a war to break out between France and Britain again. Ultimately, wars only harm those common people living at the bottom. Those high and mighty big shots don't care at all how many people at the bottom die. They only care about how much profit they can gain."

"Even if France were destroyed, those big shots would just run off to other European countries and still be the upper class. But where can the common people at the bottom of this country run? So no matter what price I have to pay, please stop the war. I beg you."

Laeticia looked at Hakuto and said with compassion.

Hakuto slowly applauded as he looked at Laeticia. "Truly compassionate. But what does any of this have to do with me?"

The cold words made Laeticia's heart turn icy cold.
