The System Sent Me to Breed an All-Female Amazon Tribe-Chapter 244: Special Amazon - : Sara Is Jealous Again!
Sara’s POV
"Are you not done playing with the girls yet?" I asked, watching the blue-eyed man dash around with Martha and Tamar like they were all children.
"Ah, I’ll be right there!" Benjamin called back, laughing as Martha deliberately pressed her ample breasts against his arm and shot me a teasing glance.
Those brats...
For some time now, we had been locked in a silent war over Benjamin’s attention.
At first, I thought it was just a silly game among those spoiled princesses.
But they had started causing real damage. Benjamin rarely slept in my room anymore. He went out with them constantly.
Even when I prepared his favorite delicacies, he only forced himself to eat a bit.
It was them against me.
So I decided to make myself into something premium—a high-value present that Benjamin would treasure more than those girls.
But how?
My plan was simple...
We walked together through a distant cave rich with crimson crystals, far from the Spire.
Benjamin looked around in open awe; it was his first time in such a mineral-rich place.
These caves held untouched treasures. Most intruders who tried to take them met unpleasant ends, so the stones remained pristine.
By bringing him here, I could link beautiful, coveted things with myself.
A foolproof plan!
"Oh, this cave is gorgeous!" Benjamin exclaimed, running his fingers over the glowing crystals.
"Hehe... Between them and me... which is more beautiful?" I asked teasingly.
Truthfully, I already knew the stones were divine in their beauty. But I woul—
"It’s you," Benjamin said calmly, as if commenting on the weather. "Sara, to me, you are far more beautiful than any stone, no matter how brightly it glows."
He quickly turned back to tracing the crystals, completely unaware of the effect his words had.
G-Good.
He wouldn’t see my face, flushed and flustered like a lovestruck young girl.
Alright... that did not go exactly as planned.
I ended up becoming the one teased. But the plan was still in motion.
Him saying my beauty surpassed these magical crystals was proof my status in his heart was rising.
Over the following days, I kept subtly associating myself with the most breathtaking wonders the Whispering Wilds had to offer:
The green river that flowed atop a living eye; but it was an actual fallen eye of a titan from millennia ago.
The rare choir of falling stars and comets that painted the sky only once every few hundred years.
The massive Hollow Animals: giant creatures warped by absorbing too much magic over the centuries.
Every beautiful thing, I linked to myself again and again...
Until one day, he finally said he was fed up. He no longer wanted to go out with me to see anything.

"Haha! I’m getting faster!" Benjamin laughed, bursting forward in a blur of speed.
"Liar! You cheated somehow!" Tamar shouted, right on his heels as they raced.
They had been playing like this for hours.
It had been four whole days since Benjamin last touched my body.
I thought my plan was perfect. I thought I had successfully made myself synonymous with beauty and value...
Sigh.
I felt so foolish.
This was what I got for trying to one-up my sisters in the tribe.
When would I ever learn?
I turned to head back to my room and sway lazily in my hammock.
But as I took the sharp curve up the hill, away from their playful noise, someone... grabbed my arm.
Eh...?
Benjamin had truly improved; I had not sensed him at all until his hand touched me.
More importantly, I could not let him see my face at this moment.
"Sara, is something going on with you?" he asked gently. I could still hear the princesses playing behind us. "I don’t mean to push, but I can’t take it anymore. You’re ignoring me, aren’t you?"
What? How did he reach that conclusion?
"It started a few days ago, when you began showing me all those things," he continued, releasing my arm. "And with every new sight, you grew more distant. That’s why I stopped wanting to go on those trips... Sara? Why won’t you look at me?"
Oh no...
The way his voice trailed off...
Benjamin thought I was drifting away from HIM, while I had been thinking the exact opposite.
"Uh... since you can’t even look at me," he said, starting to turn away, "I’ll respect your space. I’m an idiot sometimes and might not realize if I’ve done something dense that upset you... But when you’re ready, let’s go back to how things were before."
I cannot take this anymore!
I spun around and hugged him tightly from behind, my arms firm around his chest.
Being taller than him made it easy to envelop him completely.
"Th-that is not the case!" I blurted. "I did not want you to see me crying... that is why I would not look at you..."
Yes... Watching Benjamin drift toward the others had made me jealous again.
I had already been tearing up on my way back to my room. But I never expected him to chase after me.
"Huh? Why would you cry?" His voice filled with concern. "Is something wrong?"
"...You were giving the princesses more attention than me..." I mumbled against the back of his head. "I... I was jealous..."
"Eh?" Benjamin flinched. "And that made you cry?"
"Why would it not?!" I shook him lightly by the shoulders. "What if you start seeing me as an old lady and begin craving younger blood?!"
"First of all, Sara, you look as young as any of them," he said, turning to face me. "And even Lulu is several hundred years older than me. Age isn’t an issue here; it barely exists."
His fingers gently wiped away my remaining tears.
"Ah, so that’s why you suddenly started taking me on all those weird dates..." He smiled softly. "I thought you were trying to tell me something in code. I didn’t realize it was this."
I said nothing and looked away, embarrassed. But he stepped forward, pressing our bodies together. I could feel his warmth.
Soon, I wrapped my arms around him too, rubbing our cheeks together as if I couldn’t bear to let go.
"I love you very much, Benjamin..." I whispered. "Please... never leave me alone. Alright?"
"You worry too much... and you act like a baby sometimes," he laughed, ruffling my hair affectionately. "I love you too. And I will never, ever, ever, ever leave you. Got it?"
"S-Swear by something precious!" I demanded.
"Haha, silly Sara." He rose onto his toes and kissed my forehead. "I don’t need to swear by anything. It’s a constant. You are irreplaceable in my heart, and we will be together forever. Okay? Now quit with the envious, yandere vibes already. Let’s go home."
Yandere? Is that a term I should know?
Anyway... Benjamin said he would never leave me. And I believed him.
I believed him with all my heart. He loved me and I loved him... He would never leave me... He would never leave me...
Yes. If I kept telling myself that, it might soothe this mind-breaking pain I felt now.
The pain of having already lost him to the evils of Elyndor.
But I swear... I swear to Goddess Artemis... I will get him back. No matter what.
