"Does no one truly know?" Catherine retorted. "I don't believe that. The heroes who accompanied you, each one of them just happened to overlook your actions? Perhaps others might do so, but at the very least, Her Majesty Flare would never completely take her attention off you. She must know what you did. Am I right?"
Pannis was silent, because Catherine was not wrong at all. Flare had once told him in person that she actually knew what he had done.
"You see, the moment you remained silent, I knew I was right," Catherine said with a satisfied smile as the knightly girl spoke softly, "Her Majesty Flare was aware of your deeds and still held affection for you. This means, perhaps the end of the story isn't as impactful as you imagined, nor significant enough to change our minds."
"She... indeed, but that's because she wasn't exactly right in the head." Pannis sighed helplessly, "If it were someone else, I fear they wouldn't maintain the same attitude as her."
