"How do you know that she did it?" Estelia asked Eren after the manager left the room.
She didn't question the authenticity of his words as the manager also didn't seem surprised, as if he had already noticed the servant's absence. His reaction convinced her of Eren's words.
"I should be the one asking you. How did you not know?" Eren countered. He didn't plan to miss any opportunity, especially with Jenia absent.
Estelia fell silent. She was truly distracted and hadn't noticed that someone had been killed so close to her. Or perhaps she simply didn't care?
"For you people, the lives of those weaker than you are like the lives of insects. If I weren't a guest of the First Primordial, even I would have been killed, and you wouldn't have even flinched," he said, and Estelia couldn't deny his words.
She knew it was true. His life held no value in her eyes, and she wouldn't have cared if he were dead, had he not represented her father as a guest in their house.
"I guess I should be content with the fact that I've managed to live so long in a world filled with such cruel people," Eren added, lazily shifting his attention back to the stage.
Even though there were bad people on Earth who could kill others for revenge, power, or influence, it was inherently different. The current state of this world was closer to a medieval one than anything else.
"Is it wrong?" Estelia asked Eren, recovering her composure. She picked up the updated list of items set for auction. "As you said, some people are inherently more important."
"You lived because you represent my father. What about me, then? I'm his daughter. If I allowed other people to be disrespectful to me, wouldn't I be creating problems for myself? Isn't the best way to ensure no one annoys you to instill fear in their hearts?"
She knew she didn't care much about the lives of those beneath her, but she believed she had a good reason.
"That is right. I think that I am a good person." Estelia answered.
"Then do you think Jenia is also a good person?" Eren changed his question.
"She..." Estelia frowned. Normally, she would've said yes, but if she had killed a servant outside just recently, then could she still say the same thing?
"You said it's right to kill someone to remove future trouble. Do you think that's what she did? Did you really believe that the servant was courageous enough to go around spreading some secret that could easily lead her to him?"
"We both know that the secret was forever going to be buried deep in his heart. Killing him didn't remove any future trouble. And if she really wanted to bury some embarrassing secret forever, then why didn't she kill that Manager who was also there when it happened?"
Eren kept explaining, trying to make Jenia come out as a villain in the eyes of the person that considered her friend. He even felt like some serial vamp when doing something like this, but it wasn't as if he was wrong.
"What she did wasn't removing any future trouble. What she did was to let out her anger that she couldn't do on me. She killed him, for one reason alone. It was because she could. Do you think I am wrong?"
Estelia didn't answer him, pretending as if she didn't hear him. But each of his words were creating waves in her heart. Even though she already knew the answer, she couldn't utter it.
"I will ask you the same question again. Is Jenia a good person?" He asked, hitting a final nail in the coffin.
Estelia opened her lips, but before she could answer, the door opened.
"Sorry, I took longer than I expected." Jenia entered the room.
