Their romance storyline only begins on the second playthrough?

Chapter 71 A loser only deserves to be driven away

"Well done, but in the end, this is just what we asked you to do in the first place."

Rhodes responded coldly.

Lilith clutched her chest, feeling a bit uncomfortable.

But things have already turned out this way, so what can she say?

After emerging from the sadness of being rejected, she began to sort out her thoughts.

Now she has also realized that most of what Rod said was said in anger.

That's true... If she were in her shoes, and she didn't take that step when she should have made a move, how could Rod not be angry?

So, just treat it as an argument, and then make good changes and behave well. That way, I'm sure I can make him look back at me, right?

So she reached out and gently took Rod's arm.

"The first task is complete. Here's one point," Lilith said softly, her eyes lowered. "I'll keep completing tasks until I satisfy you."

"Just keep track of it yourself," Rhodes replied casually. He wasn't really going to keep track of how many requests Lilith had fulfilled.

After all, this was just something she was playing with.

He watched as she could endure doing just a few things.

A proud god... no matter how much he throws away his dignity for the sake of profit, his true nature will never change.

Rod believed that if he made a few unreasonable demands, she would break off the engagement.

Without love, he wouldn't have believed Lilith's lies.

Of course, if one day Lilith were truly willing to die in his place, then perhaps he could start to believe her.

At that moment, Horenaard appeared alongside Felicity.

"Lord Rhodes, are you alright?"

"Luo." Felicity ran a little and seemed to melt into Luo's body, throwing herself into his arms;

The girl was so soft and sweet, and when she wrapped herself around Rhodes, he felt as if all the winter wind had disappeared.

She looked up, her face showing worry and unease. "How did you run into enemies again...!"

"I'm not hurt." Rod managed to catch his breath in Felicity's embrace before smiling slightly. "Alright, are you a child? You're so worried about adults getting hurt just because they do a little bit of work."

"I'm worried about you getting hurt; you can't afford to get hurt anywhere."

Rod was slightly taken aback. "Why?"

A slight calm.

The girl seemed lost in thought, her eyes inadvertently glancing at Lilith—

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 survive under the influence of a young girl's emotions.

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?

"Um?"

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

What does this 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." Only after completing the mission and reconciling will she have a chance 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 disgust Lilith, but there was no need to care about 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 meant 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 all for now, Lilith. You go back inside. I have something to say to Felicity."

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

"You should just 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 possibly 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.

"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 that Rhodes would continue to wait for her.
