He turned to her, looking at her with a calm yet attentive gaze, signaling her to continue.
Lia hesitated for a moment, searching for the right words, and finally spoke slowly:
"Actually, well, I have a friend."
Leah spoke softly, as if trying to discern the weight of each word:
"She had an extraordinary relationship with a close friend of many years, and that friend had a fiancé."
"But her fiancé also has a good relationship with her. He is considerate and considerate of her feelings... although he has had some bad behavior that my friend found quite disgusting."
As the narrative deepened, Lia's voice gradually lowered.
As gentle as an autumn leaf falling, yet with a slight tremor, she continued:
"But, for a period of time... after experiencing some special things, my friend actually started to develop feelings for her friend's fiancé."
"Then, with their mutual tacit understanding... cough, a relationship that went beyond friendship developed between them."
Damn, why does this make her sound like a scumbag?
No, the real scumbag is Victor, that damn scumbag mage!
After gathering her thoughts, Leah looked up at Gwen's calm face again and continued to ask:
"So, how do you think this situation should be handled?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lia saw Gwen close her eyes again.
Immersed in thought, he seemed to be digesting the profound meaning contained in these words.
Shortly after, Gwen opened her eyes again, her voice calm and firm, without the slightest fluctuation:
"This is betrayal."
"If a person is engaged to another, it is an act of infidelity to both of them."
"This kind of error should be corrected, or even erased."
Gwen's words were like frost in the dead of winter, causing Lydia, who was listening in, to shiver involuntarily.
He shrank back, not daring to utter another sound.
Then, Gwen turned her head, her gaze sharp as a knife, and asked directly:
"Has this already happened?"
Well……
Lia was instantly speechless.
Because Gwen has a sense of justice, she can see through lies.
What can she do? She can't just make up a few people out of thin air and replicate the absurd relationships in this story, can she?
Or she could just say it to Gwen.
I'm sorry, Gwen, I can't leave Viktor anymore.
But if I do that, she'll definitely get angry!
But if she doesn't answer, Gwen will also become suspicious...
Just as Leah was trying to find a way to escape the problem, Gwen's gaze became even sharper, as if it could see through all hypocrisy.
The chill made Liya feel as if she were in a blizzard, the cold penetrating to her very bones.
"Lia, the friend you mentioned."
"Is it really true or not..."
"Aaaaaah! It's getting late, Gwen, we should rest!"
Lia's hurried voice was filled with obvious panic as she clumsily climbed onto the bed and quickly burrowed under the covers.
Clutching the corner of the blanket tightly, I wrapped myself up in the warm and safe comfort of the quilt.
The main selling point is confusion.
As long as she gives irrelevant answers, Gwen cannot determine whether what she is saying is a lie or not!
Caught between Gwen's suspicion and anger, Leah chose to maintain the current uncertainty.
Anyway, if she doesn't tell, who will know the truth?
But then, what reason could she possibly give to convince Gwen?
Or should we just... take away the person she loves just as deeply?
Lia's heart swayed in the darkness. Under the covers, her eyes were tightly closed, yet she still couldn't find peace of mind.
Lia was very scared.
It wasn't that she was afraid Gwen would hurt her; her trust in Gwen was as firm as a rock.
No matter what Gwen becomes, she will always be her best friend.
What she was really afraid of was being forced to choose between Victor and Gwen because of her own choice.
This is extremely unfair to both sides.
In this dark and quiet night, Lia was filled with intense guilt.
Just then, Gwen's calm yet slightly indifferent voice pierced through the barrier of the covers:
"Lia, I want to ask you a question."
I hope you can answer me honestly.
Lia's eyes snapped open, focusing in the darkness.
Listening to the sounds penetrating from the outside world, every word and every sentence entered her ears clearly.
"Are you family, Viktor?"
"..."
Silence fell over the room after those words were spoken.
Even the little fox huddled in the corner seemed to sense the change in atmosphere, opening its eyes and quietly waiting for Lia's answer.
Finally, the voice from deep within the blankets was weak and trembling, as if it had used up its last bit of strength:
"No……"
After hearing this, no one noticed.
Gwen's body gradually relaxed a bit.
She sat calmly on the edge of the bed, gazing at the starlight outside the window.
Just now, Gwen's inner impulse almost led her to make an extreme decision.
He killed Lia.
But this was by no means her intention, Gwen knew.
That power comes from within oneself, from the heart that represents justice.
It is telling Gwen that the perpetrator of such infidelity must be erased.
But Gwen didn't do that.
Or rather, just as Leah believed in her.
Gwen would never do anything to attack Lydia.
Even now, her heart is pounding violently in her chest, telling her of endless pain.
It was as if an invisible hand had gripped her heart, and was about to take the opportunity to forcibly pry it open.
Every inch of flesh and blood inside must be extracted, stripped away, and ground into powder.
...It hurts so much.
But Gwen endured the pain and responded to the impulse deep within her heart:
I am the sole controller of this body.
"Leah."
The tone was calm, but one can't tell how many compromises were made behind the scenes.
"Whether it's you or Victor."
She slowly turned around and bent down slightly.
Through the thin blanket, she gently embraced the slightly stiff figure hidden in the quilt.
That was solely due to her human emotions, and the absolute reason she insisted on.
"They are all my deepest loves."
