"In addition, she was definitely in the mansion! But how did she get to the next city? You've seen her, too!"

"... Yes, I saw her."

As usual, he had arrived at the mansion and checked Aria's room. Apparently, the lights had been on in Aria's room, and he remembered seeing her silhouette as well. He also believed she hadn't really sneaked out because he'd always been watching her.

So he had trusted Mielle's words that she had been with Aria at the moment the Count had fallen. Because Mielle had been on the same side, he had believed that she couldn't lie. If Aria hadn't really been in the mansion and Mielle had been doing a one-man show alone, she would not have asked for help purely from him. She had been doing that all the time.

'So I didn't have the slightest doubt about what Mielle said, and I didn't take any action…'

He hadn't doubted that Mielle would do well on her own.
