"..."
Shane fell into silence.
Because he didn't want his gaze, expression, or tone to reveal even a trace of sympathy.
It wasn't that Shane lacked compassion; he simply believed that his compassion would not only fail to cheer up Tielle but would also be an insult to her.
And indeed, it was true.
"I don't have many thoughts about my mother's murder,"
Tielle said in a tone so calm it almost didn't seem human as she spoke to Shane.
"Objectively speaking, she wasn't good to me, and our relationship was anything but close. Moreover, she was a spy from a neighboring country, a traitor to the Kingdom, and the main culprit behind the significant damage to the Royal Capital. Not hating her is already quite generous of me, let alone feeling angry about her death."
It was very realistic and objective.
