Chapter 216: [Final Event] [Closing Ceremony] [16] Heroine And Villainess

"But Raphiel told me to keep it secret." Milleia apologized with a sheepish smile, her pink-tinged blue eyes meeting mine with sincerity. Her appearance now resembled the transcendental beauty she possessed in the Third Game.

"..."

As I observed her, I couldn't help but notice the stark difference from the Milleia I had always known. Was she like this in the Game too?

A soft chuckle escaped my lips. "You hid so many things so well from me. I have to admit, it was an impressive act, Milleia."

'Did you know, Cleenah?'

[<Well, I did find her sometimes strange, but not to this extent… Raphiel is dangerous, Amael. Be careful.>]

'Yeah.'

"I-I didn't want to hide it, Edward!" Milleia quickly denied. "B-But it was dangerous! I could have put my mother, you, Jayden, and the others in danger…"

Is she lying?

I can't freaking understand her thinking, damn it.
