Selma Payne's POV:
Master Kevin didn't believe that his lover would 'commit suicide to escape punishment', and I didn't believe it either, even if I didn't know Layla at all. But I trusted my father. If Layla were really a fragile person, my father would never have given her such an important task as the captain.
Obviously, there were other reasons for Layla's death, and it was very likely that the Evaria Family had done it.
"Yes, I also investigated this back then," my father said helplessly. "But there was too little evidence. I thought that Layla would be completely safe under the royal family's protection, but the other party also took advantage of this. So everyone related to Layla's death is our people. We can't investigate it rashly, let alone suspect it."
"Did you find any reliable evidence back then?" I asked.
