Chapter 113

The bald man behind her said, "Hey!" as if it was unfair but Otakia was too preoccupied covering her face to pay attention. She was quite pretty but judging from the way she muttered when talking. Seem like she has a personality that lacks social skills.

"Otakia, why did you suddenly appear here? Is this hole Otakia's doing?"

Andrea asked in a friendly manner.

....Are the two close?

"I just went out to collect Scoloradra a dark magic ingredient. I never imagined these handsome guys would be here. If I knew, I would have left the collecting to that guy."

Instead of answering Andrea's question, Otakia just mumbled to herself. Nevertheless, Andrea, as if familiar with the situation, picked up on clues from there.

"Did you come to catch that giant centipede monster? Because you need it as a magical ingredient? Haha, we were really lucky."

"Hmm, it's easy for a great dark magician to obtain Scoloradra-level ingredients."

Otakia, casually sweeping under her nose with her finger, extended her arms and chanted a spell.

"[Phono]!"

Instantly, the large hole in the middle of the desert disappeared. The desert returned to a peaceful and calm state as if there had never been such a hole in the first place.

Andrea applauded, lifting Otakia's ego high.

"That's amazing, Otakia! What kind of magic is that?"

"Hmph, it's nothing. I just restored it to its original state because I connected the sinkhole to my basement. Is that really that impressive? Hmm."

"Wow, it's cool."

Andrea seemed like someone who had mastered handling Otakia. Could it be... Otakia is the person Andrea has a crush on?

Suddenly, I felt my blood draining out of me. I sneakily observed Otakia. Andrea had described his crush as beautiful. Despite wearing thick glasses that distorted her eyes, Otakia might be quite the beauty once those glasses were removed.

Judging from the fact that she didn't properly respond to Andrea's questions, she seems very arrogant and like she would easily take people in and abandon them. The fact she calls herself a great dark magician also matches with the characteristics of someone who loves herself the most.

Is Otakia really Andrea's unrequited love?

My heart pounded heavily. I felt a tightness around my chest, similar to when I had trouble breathing. When I touched my chest, Alan, who was next to me, leaned in and whispered, "Is something wrong, Narcissus?"

I shook my head. Revealing this might make Andrea uncomfortable. Why wouldn't he be? I believed Andrea was my mate and mated twice, but now his true crush appeared right in front of him. It's obvious that he would want to forget everything that happened. I recalled what Andrea had been saying all along.

"It's not you that I like, it's someone else."

"I'm not your mate."

"I don't like Del."

Even after hearing those words, I just thought Andrea was being disingenuous. Because he was good to me, and we mated... I believed that actions spoke louder than words and revealed true emotions.

But what if those words were true?

What if the favorability wasn't romantic likability? Andrea was kind to everyone except a few servants. But maybe the mating we did at that time was because of another reason.
