Chapter 547 STUPEFACTION

"Ah... don't mind it." She hurriedly said. "Forget what I said. I thought going to a new place all alone by myself, I'll be lonely. I also need someone to help me..."

"I'll help you!" Sebastian instantly cut her off. "I'll be with you so that you don't feel lonely..."

Only then did he realize that he was being too forward, it was out of character. He awkwardly scratched his head. "I... I mean..." he stammered.

"Perfect!" Catherine grabbed his hand. "It will be good having you around. I want to buy a house around the mountain. I want to grow vegetables in the back garden and flowers in from of the house. There should be a flower path so that people who come to my house feel welcome. And..."

She went on and on, not noticing how dearly Sebastian was staring at her and listening to her.

Dorothy looked around the camp, feeling a bit overwhelmed. Her fingers strongly squeezed Ovior's long sleeve.

He looked at her with concern. He knew she was feeling uncomfortable. He wanted to directly go back to the tower but Darius sent him a message through their communication stone. He had to change his direction and come back to the camp.

He couldn't leave Dorothy all by herself in an unknown place like the Magic Tower and so he took her with him. But now, he had mixed feelings.

"What do you want to talk about?" he asked Darius who was waiting for him in the camp.

"Ovior, nice to see you back. I went to look into the thing you asked me for." Darius handed a scroll to him.

Ovior instantly reached out when Darius mentioned her. He gently held around her shoulder and said, "Dorothy, meet my friend, Darius. Darius, this is Dorothy."

"Hello, young lady. It's a pleasure to meet you." Darius reached out his hand.

"Hello, milord. The pleasure is mine." Dorothy slightly bowed and held his hand.

Darius took her hand and tried to kiss the back of her hand when her hand was snatched by Ovior.

"What was that for?" Darius complained.

"No need to be all touchy with her."

"What do you mean by touchy?" Darius took his behavior personally. "She consented by giving me her hand. Don't treat me light a plague. Isn't she just a child? I'm not into children. Anyway, why are you with a child? Who are you to her?"

"I'm..." As if something caught in his throat, Ovior answered with a bit of hesitation, "My friend."

"A friend?" Darius was skeptical. "How can a boring person like you have a teenage friend?"

Ignoring his question, Ovior replied, "I'm glad you two met. Thanks for the report, stay with Arthur for now. No need to tell him anything. I'll head back with Dorothy first."

"Sure," Darius agreed. He saw Ovior and the girl leave. After they disappeared under his watch, he mumbled, "Damn it! Since when was he a pedo? I never thought I'd see the day he kidnapped an innocent girl. To whom should I tell this story? I bet no one would expect something like that."

Humming a song, he walked toward Zinnia's camp when he saw Sebastian hugging Catherine. His jaw dropped.

'How in the name of sexy girls the world has turned into?' he wondered. 'How could a punk who doesn't even know how to masturbate can get himself a girl? How come I can't get a woman?'
