Katherine didn't hesitate to answer Davis's question.
"The ones my dead father offended."
"Why?"
"To force us to pay back the debt we owed them."
Katherine diligently answered as she possessed a calm expression while speaking, causing Davis to continue.
"So your mother sold you to pay back those debts?"
Davis raised his brows, causing Katherine Hilltail to become dejected.
"Yes… she… she's not a bad mother."
"Wha-"Davis was flabbergasted that he couldn't help crack an amused smile, "Are you naive or kind?"
"Eh…?"
However, looking at her confused expression, he became taken aback, understanding that she said what she truly felt and not sarcasm.
"Perhaps, your mother sold you to protect you and all other siblings from those debtors while she herself chose a new life to allow you to stay clear of trouble, choosing the life of enslavement for you all over your deaths. Is that what you're trying to say?"
