The End Of The Darkest Star

Isabella moved toward the speakers playing music, still facing the ground, making it impossible for me to get even the smallest glimpse of her face.

Isabella: "Hmm~ Someone was enjoying themselves~"

Miwen: "Just a little bit."

Still avoiding my eyes, she turned and approached me.

Her attitude and tone were quite lighthearted, but it bothered me that she kept avoiding my eyes.

If she was fine and really did not care about what happened, then... Such a thing wouldn't be necessary.

This, to me, considering everything I knew about her, felt like a tough act.

She had learned a lot about how to fake and hide her own feelings these past few months thanks to the image of the Umbral Duchess that she had to maintain, but...

Judging by how easily I saw through her, this poor act could only be explained by her feelings being too strong to hide completely.

Isabella: "Then... It's fine for me to enjoy a little too, right?"
