Vikalina's face was now full of awkwardness, discomfort, and guilt.
Did I go too far?
Was I a bit too harsh?
Clearly, Sivis is not the cold person I imagined him to be. He is helping these commoners too!
But I actually...
Misunderstood him so much.
A sense of guilt rose in Vikalina's heart.
The female knight noticed that Sivis didn't seem to blame her, instead, he was looking for his own mistakes.
Vikalina fell silent.
She even felt the urge to make it up to Sivis.
Even though Vikalina didn't fully approve of Sivis's approach, it didn't stop the female knight from feeling very guilty—
She didn't understand the concept of work-for-relief.
As a knight educated by the Church, she believed that in the face of disaster, one should spare no effort to provide aid.
Sivis, while helping, was primarily focused on hiring people to rebuild his family and start a factory for profit, which seemed self-serving and less noble.
