Among those present, Otto had personally experienced the events of that year. Gwen and Yolandale were Schicksal's current pillars of strength. As for Kallen, she had no concerns about leaking secrets. She told everyone about how she had fled Schicksal with the black box, escaped all the way to Shenzhou, then continued eastward to the Far East because she could not find the immortals, and everything that had happened in Yae Village in the Far East.
Although Kallen was not much of a speaker, those events had only happened to her a short while ago. Overall, she explained them clearly, faithfully laying out everything the Saintess of Schicksal from five hundred years ago had experienced in Yae Village before them.
Even when it came to how she had developed feelings for Yae Sakura in only a few days—feelings she had believed to be love—Kallen merely hesitated briefly before speaking of it.
Yet after hearing Kallen's description, Otto's expression improved considerably—
With Otto's intelligence, even though he was somewhat emotional at the moment, he could still hear Kallen's doubts about the matter.
Sure enough, there was more to this!
Though he knew the thought was somewhat wishful, Otto, having found a sliver of hope, still firmly believed it—
I've kept calm for five hundred years. Can't I be impulsive for once?
"When I was captured and brought back to Schicksal for interrogation, I wanted to take all the blame upon myself to avoid implicating Otto and my family. Together with the feelings I had for Sakura at the time, I gave them the answer that I had fallen in love with Sakura—
"People do not believe lunatics, nor do they try to understand their actions."
As Kallen spoke, she looked at Otto beside her, whose smile was almost impossible to suppress.
