Chapter 54: The greatest weakness
Lucien looked into the box. Inside were several healing potions, alongside some designed for energy absorption and body enhancement.
The value of the medicines inside this box was immense—an ordinary noble couldn’t afford a box filled with such potions even if they sold all their possessions.
"Aren’t you going to chase after her?" Lilith’s voice echoed again.
Lucien stepped forward, but then shook his head, sighed, and said, "Master, right now, aside from Selvia, I don’t want to concern myself with any other woman."
"Of course, I know Irelia has feelings for me, but in my heart, there is only Selvia."
"You..." Lilith also sighed, then said, "You should think it through carefully. That girl is likely very wealthy. If you make her your woman, you’d gain quite a bit of benefit."
"Master!" Lucien suddenly shouted, eyes full of determination. He frowned and said, "If I did that, how would I be any different from a liar?"
"Do you want me to become someone like Lathel? No, I will never become a deceitful and despicable man like him."
"Even if I starve to death, I will never deceive others. I am not him. I have my own path to walk."
"Good!" Lilith said happily, "Seeing you so steadfast puts my mind at ease. I hope... the road ahead doesn’t change your will."
Lucien nodded slightly, his eyes falling on the wooden box, feeling somewhat uneasy inside.
"Are you planning to return that box to her?" Lilith asked.
