Chapter 51 We will always remember you

"You, my dear, always like this. You call yourself a fool, yet you seem to guess everything right. But when you should act clever, you feign ignorance, and when you shouldn't, that's when you play the fool," Freya said, arm in arm with Pannis, strolling between the shadows of the mottled trees, the sculptures, and the pines. She sighed softly in response to Pannis's question and continued, "With how you've acted all this time, weren't you supposed to appear oblivious right now? Why would you speak up instead?"

"We're all smart here. Playing dumb in front of smart people is pointless, except for making them laugh at you," Pannis shrugged and said, "So, it's only the truly foolish who would play dumb in front of the wise, because that's not something one can fake."
