THE MISTRESS’ DAUGHTER : CHAPTER 71 – 80
Arachne jogged into the library, a bright smile plastered on her face. She spotted Ryder sitting at a table and hurried over to join him.
“Hey, why are you so happy?” Ryder asked, raising an eyebrow as he took in Arachne’s radiant grin.
Arachne plopped down beside him, barely containing her excitement.
“I received a letter from my parents yesterday, and they told me we’ll soon visit the palace. I’ll finally get to see the prince!” she squealed, her eyes shining with anticipation.
Ryder raised an eyebrow, “Why are you so happy about that? What if he’s not as you expected? What if he didn’t like you because he has another girl? What if he’s someone you least expected?” he asked.
Arachne’s grin faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered.
“I haven’t thought of those,” she admitted, her smile returning.
Ryder shook his head, a wry smile twisting his lips.
“You’re really pathetic.” He said.
Arachne playfully rolled her eyes. “Stop being jealous of my prince.” She said.
Ryder scoffed, standing up to leave. “I’m not jealous.” He muttered.
“You’re just mad because you don’t have a chance to see the prince!”Arachne yelled after him.
Ryder chuckled, shaking his head as he walked out of the library.
Just outside the door, he ran into Aka, who approached him with a smile.
“I hope you haven’t forgotten about our plan?” she asked.
Ryder smiled, feeling a flutter in his chest. “I haven’t.” He said.
Aka’s smile grew wider. “I’ll really be thankful if I can get that book. I really like Maledicta.” She said.
As Aka touched his cheek, Ryder felt a shiver run down his spine. He smiled nervously, trying to play it cool.
“See you,” Aka muttered, before turning and walking away.
Ryder watched her go, a smile still plastered on his face.
“So that was your crush.”Arachne voice suddenly said behind him.
Ryder turned to face her, feeling a flush rise to his cheeks.
“What are you talking about?” he asked, trying to feign nonchalance.
Arachne grinned mischievously. “I can see the way you always act around her. She’s pretty though” she whisper.
“You’re just trying to get under my skin.”Ryder shook his head, chuckling.
Arachne laughed, skipping away. “Maybe I am, maybe I’m not.” She said.
Ryder watched her go, a wry smile twisting his lips.
