The alluring aroma of tea lingered around his nose and the soft seat made him unwilling to get up. When Luo Ya opened his eyes again, he saw a dazzling array of refreshments and a witch holding a teacup across the table. However, unlike the previous two times, Altacia was much more obedient this time.
She didn't tempt Luo Ya to do anything, nor did she make him appear in a strange place. She just greeted him with a faint smile in front of the peaceful tea table.
"Good evening, Sir Hero."
"Hmm, good evening."
Looking at the night outside the window, Roja calmly greeted back and then picked up the cup and took a sip of tea.
This was the third time they met. Luo Ya's emotions were very stable. After experiencing various crises, the more urgent the situation was, the calmer the young man became. However, it was this unusual calmness that made the witch across the table puzzled.
Altacia looked at the calm young man. After hesitating for a moment, she raised her eyes and carefully said:
"What a surprise, I thought I would be scolded when I saw you this time."
"Hmm? Why? "
"Because … the skill I gave you didn't take effect. Aren't you angry?"
"… Angry?"
Hearing Altacia's words, the black-haired young man paused for a moment and nodded slightly.
"Yes, but only to myself."
"Eh? Yourself? Why? "
Looking at Altacia who widened her eyes, Luo Ya put down the teacup and said calmly:
"You are a witch. You are the representative of changes and incomprehensible. Treating the skill you gave me as a life-saving straw is absurd. Moreover, that skill isn't an autonomous ability but similar to a summoning. Therefore, the summoned person expressing rejection is also one of the possible outcomes. After all, that is your right."
"In the end, you have never said that you are my companion."
Luo Ya raised his eyes and looked coldly at the white-haired witch. Seeing this, Altacia pursed her lips and showed a wronged expression.
"Sir Hero, are you treating me as an enemy?"
"No, it's not hostility. It's just distrust. Or rather, jumping out of a fixed way of thinking. I was indeed too lazy before."
The black-haired youth sighed as he recalled Prister's evaluation of him.
After experiencing the crisis of the two historical fragments, although Luo Ya still believed that the danger of the historical fragments should be taken seriously, in fact, he had unknowingly started to look down on them, which was the arrogance in Pulist's eyes.
It was inevitable that he would encounter ancient existences in the historical fragments, but would these ancient gods help him? No one could guarantee such a thing.
This was especially true for the Witch Queen, Altacia. She wasn't a match for Luo Ya in the first place. Plus, Witches were known to be capricious, so it was only natural that something would happen at such a special moment.
"Ever since I resonated with Senior Lillian and learned that she also had the bloodline of the Akkat Family, I developed a sense of dependence on her and lost my sense of nervousness. I subconsciously wanted to share my burdens with her, which resulted in Senior Lillian almost dying to save me."
"You didn't appear at that time, which could be said to have shattered the illusion in my heart and allowed me to regain my footing. From this perspective, I should be thanking you."
Luo Ya gazed at the white-haired woman in front of him. His golden pupils didn't contain any deceit. Upon hearing his words, Altacia was stunned. After a long while, the Witch Queen's body gradually trembled. Then, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Hehe, hahaha. As expected, we really get along well. Sir Hero, you're right. A sense of dependence is indeed a contradiction with the trials of your family. But I didn't do it on purpose. That's the only thing I hope you can understand me about."
"Altacia isn't such a bad Witch. I didn't appear because summoning me in your state back then wouldn't solve the problem. Instead, it would cause your deaths."
The white-haired Witch Queen stroked her cheeks and gazed at the young man opposite her with narrowed eyes.
"I really like Sir Hero. That's the only thing I hope you don't doubt."
"Like? Are you referring to the pain and lamentation when I'm at the center of the contradiction? "
"Aiya, don't ask that. Isn't it like you're asking me to tell you what I like about Sir Hero? You're so mean. "
Altacia held her cheeks and said shyly. But at the next moment, she revealed a joyful smile.
"Although I like those too, I still hope that Sir Hero can defeat them. After all, isn't that the contradiction in your family? No matter if it's the inner conflict and hesitation, or the external conflicts and dangers, they are like curses that will always accompany you. And Sir Hero is a typical example. "
