Chapter 116: Priests of the God of Lies and Deception (1)
“Is Arkemis doing all right?” Milayna asked Ketal.
“She seemed fine when I saw her,” Ketal replied casually.
Several days had passed, and Arkemis was gradually recovering. Although not entirely back to normal, she was at least well enough to move around without difficulty.
Milayna let out a relieved sigh. “That’s good to hear.”
“Although, she’s been acting a bit strange lately,” Ketal said.
“What do you mean?” “Her attitude changed somehow.”
Recently, Arkemis had grown noticeably friendlier toward Ketal, as if barriers had suddenly vanished. Moreover, she repeatedly praised the virtues of the elves’ sacred land. Ketal found the sudden shift in her behavior puzzling but didn’t dwell on it too much.
Whatever it is, at least she’s recovering well, Ketal thought.
He assumed Arkemis had opened up to him, meaning their friendship had grown deeper. For Ketal, becoming closer with someone from a fantasy world was satisfying enough.
Turning his attention back to Milayna, Ketal observed. “You still seem incredibly busy, Milayna.”
A week had passed since the demons’ attack, yet Milayna remained as busy as ever. She had bags under her eyes, and her hair was unkempt and greasy, clearly unwashed for days. Even as she spoke to Ketal, her attention remained focused on processing the paperwork.
“Thanks to you, the damage wasn’t as severe as it could have been, but that doesn’t mean it was small either,” Milayna explained wearily.
