This was the only thing that made her afraid to reveal her feelings to Lelouch. And Lelouch was the exiled Prince of Britannia. Thus, this was a very complicated situation for Milly.

The only way that a relationship between Milly x Lelouch would have worked was for Milly to take charge with her life by breaking away from the influence of her family, who wanted to use her as a social/political tool to regain their Noble status. And we don't know why the Ashford's lost their Noble status in the first place after Marianne's death. So this possible story has a lot of crediblity to it, just as Kallen's Britannia backgound that links her to her father, since his family is one of the high ranking Noble families of Britannia. This was a story that was never told in the second season.
This doesn't change the fact that he wasn't interested. In any case, you seem to have your facts mixed up here.

We know exactly why the Ashfords lost their noble status: Marianne's death. She was the only thing granting them that status. Her death caused their company to collapse and that cost them their status. It's made quite clear.

Conversely, Kallen is never said to be the daughter of a noble. She's said to be the daughter of a wealthy man, which might imply it but does not assure it.

Only that her situation at the time would have made it difficult for a relationship to develop because he was a loner and she is an extravert who is very outgoing. But considering that Nina was an introvert, Milly considers her as her best friend.
Nothing did. That's the point. Milly conceded because Lelouch wasn't interested. Milly considers Nina a best friend because their families worked together and thus they've known each other since they were children.

That would have been the only way for the fans to know if Lelouch had any romantic feelings for Milly or not.
But there is no "they." There's Kallen and Lelouch, leading double lives (both at first, then just one of them), while Milly's at Ashford with little clue as to who Lelouch really is. Also, Milly could have revealed her feelings with out a passionate kiss. Kallen kissed Lelouch because the man wouldn't budge on the stoic act and she was trying to get through to him. Milly would just have to say something.
