PAID Chapter 170
"You promised to tell me the next time we met when you sent me away back then. About what you were going to tell me."
"Ah… that's right. Honestly, I didn’t think much of it. Mira, you always seemed like you had something to hide. Not just from me, but from everyone. I just figured it was the same this time and moved on."
"That's true."
I nodded without denying it.
"I did, I still do, and I probably will continue to. Do you resent me for it?"
Leona, who had been forcing a bitter smile, shook her head.
"No. Not at all. If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to. That’s the end of it. I’m not going to resent you for not telling me, or for hiding something. Everyone has a secret or two they want to keep hidden, right? Including me."
"Really? You have something you're hiding too?"
"Of course I do. If we get closer, I’ll tell you. Or… if you’re really curious, you can try to get closer to me? I don’t think it would take you long."
Leona twisted her body in embarrassment, blushing lightly. After a while, once the blush on her cheeks had faded, she looked back at me.
A shy smile, not a bitter one, appeared on her face.
"So, how much are you going to tell me?"
"That depends on how much you can trust me."
"Completely."
Her response was immediate. There was no hesitation in her gaze or her words.
"You trusted me first. You helped me get my mind straight, made sure I had the right mindset as a hero, and even helped me awaken the true power of the Holy Sword. Mira, after you’ve done so much for me, why wouldn't I trust you? If you asked me to make a cake out of dirt, I’d do it. So, feel free to tell me anything."
"What if what I say is the complete opposite of what Aria says? Would you still trust me over her?"
"……."
Leona’s expression showed she was taken aback. Her lips quivered, and unlike before, her voice faltered, losing all confidence.
