The supporting character's harem is very normal

Chapter 482: First meeting

After the Pope finished speaking, she turned around to leave. However, when she reached the door, she stopped and said softly: "You should also be careful. That young man seems very strange; he is not someone we can control."

"Are you talking about Lathel?" Amleth smiled and said: "You don’t need to worry about that. Because... in this world, no one understands him better than me."

The Pope glanced at Amleth for a moment, then left.

Amleth then frowned and muttered: "Yes, in this world, no one understands him better than me. Only I can be suitable for him—the perfect woman to be by his side."

"I will show him... Without me, he is just trash—no, he is not even comparable to trash."

...

The Pope entered the carriage, and the one-horned white horse pulled the carriage into the air, then disappeared among the clouds.

Inside the carriage, the Pope frowned at Arine, who was sitting quietly across from her.

"Do you want to say something?"

Arine smiled slyly: "Hehehe, Pope, you always teach that our church always values love..."

"Do you think I’m so stupid that I don’t know what you’re thinking?" The Pope frowned and said: "Do you like him?"

Hearing that, Arine immediately showed a pitiful face: "Uhm! But... It seems he doesn’t like me."

"Is he worthy of you giving up everything like this? Arine... you should know that you are the Holy Maiden; if the fact that you love him is discovered by others, I am afraid that not only you but the entire Church will be laughed at."

Listening to the Pope, Arine pouted, bowed her head, and dejectedly protested: "But... the will of the Church is..."@@@@

"You are confusing the will of the church with the honour of the church." The Pope immediately interrupted Arine’s words: "You are too naive; the way this world works is not as simple as you think."

"But... I... I like him; I don’t want to leave him." Arine pursed her lips and let her tears flow as she spoke.

Seeing this, the Pope sighed: "Okay, I will give you a chance, however, if you lose this chance, I will never accept the love between you and that young man."

"Yay!" Arine shouted happily.

"Do not be happy." The Pope frowned and said: "He is just an ordinary noble, and you are the Holy Maiden. Even though he is a hero and has reinforced the Demon Lord’s seal, his status is still much lower than that of a human."

"Even though the will of the Lumiere Church is love regardless of class or status, however... the Holy Maiden can only love the Holy Son."

"If you want to break this prejudice, Lathel must be stronger than the others, even the Holy Son."

"But..." Arine spoke up.

"I know what you’re going to say." The Pope held his forehead and sighed: "He has indeed defeated Ikarys; however, that is still not enough. You should know, our church has two holy sons and many other candidates."

"If you want everyone to accept the person you love, he must overcome many difficulties."

"The Holy Son selection conference will be held in two months. At that time, I hope that no matter what the result is, you will not be able to refute it."

Hearing that, Arine bowed her head, and clutched her dress.

The Pope sighed again and said: "Arine, I know you are dissatisfied; however... anyone who exists in this world will be caught in the wheel of fate."

"There are many people who want to change destiny, against the arrangements of the gods, but... hundreds, thousands, and even countless people like you have stood up against destiny."

Although Medos did not know what that person wanted to do, he believed that... besides Lathel, no one could harm the ’Child of the World’s Will’.

Barosik continuously ran away; although his physical condition had increased a lot, that was still not enough to compare with a level 40 ’long fanged tiger’.

For adventurers of the same level, the ’White Fanged Tiger’ was a nightmare.

A single ’White Fang Tiger’ could easily destroy a team of adventurers of the same level.

That’s enough to realise how terrible it is.

Barosik didn’t know how long he ran, but when he saw the light ahead, he knew... he had reached the lake of the Goblin Forest.

Today is a full moon, so three moons in the sky shine together. The peaceful lake surface reflects the light of the moon, making this place extremely sparkling.

Barosik walked to the edge of the lake, panting. However, he did not rush to rest but looked back.

Behind him was only darkness, and it made him shiver in fear.

"Where is that tiger...?" Barosik muttered and asked.

He tried to look into the darkness to find the shape of that tiger; however, the darkness was so dense, he couldn’t see anything.

"Who?!"

Suddenly, a clear and innocent voice rang out, startling Barosik.

He turned his head, looked towards the source of the voice, and saw a girl of modest height with silver hair reflecting the light of the moonlight.

She was beautiful, like a porcelain doll that seemed to have been created by the most talented sculptors in the world.

Her face made people who saw her not dare to touch her, as they were afraid that if they used a little force, she would burst like a bubble.

Her eyes were like those of an innocent deer, and it made Barosik want to hold her in his arms and gently caress and protect her.

"Oy! You... didn’t you hear what I said?" The girl asked softly again.

Barosik suddenly woke up from his drunken stupor, drunk because of that girl’s beauty.

"Ah!" He tried to stabilise his breathing and calmly said: "I... I am Basorik, I... I was chased here by a monster."

"Monster?" The girl tilted her head; she looked at him with confusion and innocence, making him so embarrassed that he blushed.

So innocent, so cute.

She was so adorable that he really couldn’t help but think of hugging her.

"You are lying!" The girl frowned and said: "This place is the Goblin Forest; next to it is the Karol Empire. How can monsters appear here?"

Even though she was upset and frowning, however... in Barosik’s eyes, she was like a sulking little girl, becoming even more adorable.

"Oy! I... I’m telling the truth; I was being chased by a ’White Fanged Tiger’ and I ran here and met you."

Listening to Barosik, the girl pouted: "Huh! I feel like you came here to peek at me."

GRAOOO!!
