Chapter 70: Milayna Akasha (4)
The next morning, Milayna showed up looking like she’d seen a ghost.
“Looks like you’re up. How’s the hangover?” Ketal greeted her with a smirk.
“I’m fine...”
Unfortunately for her, she wasn’t the type to forget things just because she had a little too much to drink. And this morning, that trait wasn’t doing her any favors.
She remembered everything. She had spent hours pouring her heart out to Ketal, complaining how hard her life was.
“I’m sorry. I can’t believe I showed you such a shameful side of me,” Milayna said.
Normally, this never happened. She was always composed, even when drinking. On rare occasions when she had too much, she still managed to hold herself together. However, something about this barbarian had disarmed her.
She had let her guard down, and before she knew it, she’d turned into a full-on drunken mess.
Ketal, however, didn’t seem fazed in the slightest. “Don’t worry about it. I’m used to hearing people ramble when they’re drunk. If it bothers you, I can pretend it never happened.”
“That would be appreciated,” Milayna stammered, bowing her head so low it nearly hit the floor. After a moment, she straightened up, clearing her throat and smoothing her dress as though trying to erase last night from existence.
Her flustered demeanor brought a chuckle to Ketal’s lips.
