The Author's POV

Chapter 575

Amanda's face turned cold as she stared at the enchanting figure that was staring back at her from the distance.

'It's her.'

Amanda was able to recognize her with just a simple glimpse of her face.

How could she not? She was the demoness that had placed a curse on her mother, and the same demon that worked for Ren...and fooled her by transforming into a cat.

'Pudding.'

The sudden recollection of pudding resulted in a slight twitch of Amanda's hand. She managed to hide the twitch by bringing her hand behind her back.

Amanda's emotions were currently in disarray as she stared at Angelica.

She didn't exactly know how to react.

She still couldn't quite bring herself to forgive her.

"Huuuu…"

Taking a deep breath, she calmed herself down.

'I need to stop being emotional.'

Amanda's face became indifferent as she remembered what she had told herself previously.

After alternating between the others and realizing that they were the people Ren had once introduced, Amanda relaxed.

"It looks like you have also been transported into this world."

Her bow disappeared into thin air, and the mana in her body stopped flowing.

Following her actions, the others also relaxed.

*Puff*

With smoke diffusing in the air, Leopold suddenly spoke.

"…You are?"

"Amanda."

Amanda replied as she turned to look at Leopold. Taking a short glimpse of the cigarette in his hand, Amanda was at a loss for words.

She couldn't quite understand how one would smoke in these circumstances.

"Amanda, huh."

Tapping the butt of the cigarette, Leopold crossed his arms.

"Have we ever met before?"

"Yes…"

His question caught Amanda slightly off guard.

'Does he not remember that I went to his daughter's concert…'

Halting her thought process there, Amanda's eyes suddenly sharpened.

It was at that moment that she suddenly recalled that he was Sophia's father.

"We have met before? Is that so? Where ex—"

"In Henlour."

She interrupted him mid-sentence before turning to look at the others, pausing on Angelica at the end.

As opposed to greeting her, she immediately began asking her questions.

Amanda seemed rather distant, but it was merely because she didn't want to let her emotions get the best of her.

"Do you have any idea where we are? And how did you guys appear here?"

"…I was hoping you might know the answer to that."

Angelica replied while staring toward the surroundings.

She didn't seem to mind Amanda's distant attitude.

"The last thing I remember is being teleported in this place before meeting up with the others."

"Same for me."

Crossing her arms together, Amanda pondered for a bit before she turned around and suggested.

"Come with me for now."

"Come with you?"

The others exchanged glances as Amanda's sudden actions surprised them. Amanda ignored them and went deeper into the forest.

"If you guys are looking for Ren, I know where he is."
