Hillena had been mentally prepared for this point.
Yet it was only after their encounter in the hospital room last time that she discovered a phenomenon worthy of deep thought.
The Silent Saintess, who used to incessantly speak of Xiya, showed no hostility in her eyes when she saw Hillena, her "formidable romantic rival," again.
Perhaps even Tiya herself had not noticed this.
Recalling the brief interaction with that person last night, Hillena gently shook her head.
She didn't have any strong psychological fluctuations. Her mental maturity far exceeded her peers, and she certainly wasn't the type to be easily swayed by smooth talk and petty tricks.
But to be honest,
Their first encounter, though brief and purely out of a transaction at the Helius Mausoleum, still left a profound impression on her.
She wondered where he might be now and whether he had been caught.
