After she heard about what had happened Tang Yue's frown deepened.
Apparently, Charlotte had thrashed Lotte to the point of death in order to make him spill the details about Tang Yue's mission and her plans in the forest.
Once she thought about this, Tang Yue slowly understood everything.
This was why Charlotte and her group were present in the forest in the first place.
They had gotten the information out of Lotte by beating him black and blue.
Tang Yue sized up the elf in front of her.
He had indeed betrayed her, but she also understood the various hierarchies in the royal power chart.
Just looking at how badly he was tortured, Tang Yue could tell that the elf was beaten down a lot before he ended up coughing up the details.
This might have been something very inconsequential to others, but for her, this in itself was a huge thing.
Tang Yue was very touched by this small act of loyalty.
