>>6112860You are not privy to the precise details, but you have heard about… the general idea.
If they find out about Salicera’s… Willow’s… true identity, she will be brought to the Palace of Ansàrra for questioning. All four of you will be questioned. Even Master, if he really did know. And this would be a much more grave matter than you can deal with. That <span class="mu-i">Master</span> can deal with.
Something inside your stomach coils like a shuddering serpent at the idea of keeping this secret.
“See? I did tell you. I did tell you this would have changed everything.” She reaches out to you, her hand landing on yours, tracing slow circles against the root of your thumb. “You are the only one, Argia. The only one who can know. Why? Because you are not a <span class="mu-i">nobody.</span>” Her big brown eyes, edged grey just like your sword, look at you, her cheeks flushing. “Will you keep my secret?”
>Salicera may have her reasons, and even maybe just taken advantage of Astoria’s own ambitions, but she still did not behave properly. You will keep her secret… but only until this mission is over. You stand for truth, after all.>She has been a true friend so far. You can’t judge her actions like you would a member of your own world. You do not like it, but your bonds of friendship come before the bonds you may have towards Astoria di Ottava ora… as long as Willow keeps earning your trust.>Willow has made mistakes, but what would you have done in her place? Stranded on a foreign world, with no family, no friends… and she still joined the right side, even if her Faith is still lacking. Perhaps this can be your true Trial, even before Knighthood… showing her she made the right choice.>And there is also something else you did not consider at the start… [Suggestion]Well, that explains why Astoria was being an absolute hard-ass on you. Thanks for playing, as always. Today was supposed to be a great day, but I somehow got involved into another bike accident. For me, less troublesome than last time. For the bike... not so much. I hope at least with the update I can end the day on a high note. Hope I can keep updating regularly. See you soon.
