Chapter 340: Chapter 216 Hillena: How Could It Be Him?!
The moment Louise’s words reached her ears, Tiya’s slender waist instinctively straightened up in disbelief as she looked towards her.
At the same time, her hands tightly gripped the bedsheet fabric beside her.
Every word spoken was in the common language of Saint Laurent, which she could understand, but strung together they became intriguingly complicated, to the extent that she was somewhat baffled.
Eh?
What exactly was Louise saying?
Taking the blame?
...
What in the world was this…
Clearly, up to now, Tiya had not recovered from the sudden shock.
Perhaps due to excessive agitation, a morbid flush gradually appeared on Tiya’s pale little face, and her heart raced thumpingly.
After all, it should have been that guy who coldly revealed the truth with his merciless words.
From the very beginning, it was he who fabricated all the lies with the intention of making her feel guilty and indebted.
Including the alleged twelve years, everything was made up.
The so-called willingness to die for her, in Tiya’s view, was utter nonsense.
When several premises did not hold, this one naturally became the world’s most humorous joke.
Even hypnosis was a whim he indulged in simply to witness her foolish reaction.
In the end, she not only confided many feelings she had never spoken of to anyone but also, under his temptation, actively made the scandalous move to relieve his needs with her hand.
Take any of those out, and it’s enough to cause social death, even collapse.
Not to mention the inexperienced Tiya?
According to the Great Imperial Princess Hillena’s interpretations of the sleep talk she heard while tending her bedside, her subconscious was probably filled with murderous intent and abhorrence towards Lynn.
After something like this, the relationship between the two was beyond any chance of returning to the way it was.
Such a level of betrayal could compel an immature girl to completely transform into a woman.
Even if Tiya’s inherent kindness made it difficult for her momentarily to decide to kill him, with the subtle influence of those around her, coupled with the correction of the World Will, it was just a matter of time.
It should have been just a matter of time.
But after hearing Louise’s cautious words, Tiya’s heart was instantly swept by an unexpected panic and tension.
Even though her heart was deeply hurt, the mere mention of anything related to him still triggered such a strong emotional response in the young girl – an impossibility in the past.
Tiya… really has changed a lot.
Observing Tiya with her brows tightly furrowed, Louise’s expression was very complicated.
Come to think of it, even during the time when she had fallen for Xiya, she was able to maintain her basic composure in front of the nuns.
Even if it weren’t for Xiya’s rash visit one time, Louise might never have noticed the relationship between them.
She thought dealing with Xiya was troublesome enough.
But now, it seems another heavyweight presence has emerged.
No.
This guy was much slicker and more deceitful than the naive guy from the Military Department. Who knows what methods he used to dupe her innocent and pure friend.
Louise took a deep breath, trying to shift all the blame onto the boy with whom she had never had a close exchange.
Yet, her mind involuntarily recalled that night, the boy, dressed as a Magician as if part of a play’s opening scene, walked leisurely, confronting the arrival of the Demon with a mortal’s body.

This should have been a climax only present in plays.
Such a dramatic scene, even to this day, she couldn’t forget.
Several nuns from the combat department, who had survived that incident, had been seeking her out recently, intending but not intentionally, to inquire about the boy.
However, seeing the blushing faces of these inexperienced girls, how could Louise not understand that their actual intentions lay elsewhere?
Come to think of it, perhaps even Tiya gradually fell during such times?
After all, rescuing them was incidental; his real purpose was always only for her.
At this moment, Louise’s feelings were very complex.
To say she harbored much resentment towards the boy, that may not necessarily be the case, after all, he genuinely saved her once.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t just be unable to avenge Sister Trina now, but would end up repeating history, becoming part of a limb connector’s body.
That would be even worse than death.
But the Goddess Blessing on Tiya, to her, seemed more like a declaration, proclaiming that this Holy Maiden must not harbor mortal thoughts or make contact with filthy men.
Choosing between following her heart or her longstanding faithful beliefs was particularly tormenting for Louise.
She knew very well that the real entity who abducted Lynn and openly confronted the entire Empire was actually Tiya.
She also understood the kind of impact it would have on her best friend’s heart if she truly revealed the truth of that night.
It could even affect the upcoming Moonlight Holy Scripture in two days’ time.
After a long silence, Louise finally sighed.
Carefully considering, the whole city was unaware of what sacrifices and contributions the boy made for them in secret, even vilifying him as the true limb connector.
And that perfectly suited the old men of the Imperial Council.
So, she couldn’t just opportunistically slander him as well.
