Bab 1145: Cousin?

Villain Ch 1145. Cousin?

The group began to break up, Mila followed closely behind Elio, but her steps were slow, hesitant. She glanced around nervously, making sure James and Noah weren't lurking nearby, before her eyes landed on Azura, who was just about to leave. Something in Mila's chest tightened. She had to speak to her now—before the others could interfere, before her courage faded.

"Hey," Mila called out to Elio, her voice trembling a bit. "I... I want to talk to Valkyrie for a moment. Alone."

Elio raised an eyebrow but didn't question her. He gave her a nod, glancing at Azura. "Sure, go ahead. I'll wait for you here."

Mila watched as Elio walked off, giving her some space. Then, gathering her nerves, she approached Azura.

"Valkyrie..." Mila called, her voice almost shy. It was strange addressing Azura by her in-game name. But this conversation wasn't about the game.
