Vaan's Doubts

Lady Solana's silence made Vaan narrow his eyes.

There were several possibilities for Lady Solana's silence. However, only two possibilities stood out on the list.

The first possibility is that Lady Solana did not want to recall the sad memory of killing her daughter or share it with others.

The second possibility is that Lady Aeliana is still alive, but Lady Solana doesn't want anyone to know about it.

According to the clues Vaan had gathered, of these two possibilities, the second possibility had a higher probability of being true.

"Lady Aeliana was said to be the youngest Senior Witch to become a lord. This created quite a stir back then, and you were the heart of people's criticism, weren't you, Lady Solana?" Vaan asked.

Lady Solana silently nodded while blaming herself for pushing such heavy responsibilities onto her daughter too early.

Lady Solana believed the tragedy was a result of her poor choice back then.
