After sending Fran away, Hill glanced askance at List who peeked out stealthily, "When did you find out?"
"The last time Mr. Fran and Mr. Adrian stayed at the town lord's mansion, they mentioned Lady Melanie's matter," List honestly said, "I didn't intend to hide it from you, but Mr. Adrian said if you don't ask, don't tell, to spare you the distress."
"I'm not distressed now, I'm embarrassed!" Hill raged, "Why didn't you stop me from agreeing to let those guys write that biography!"
"Wouldn't secretly spreading it have been worse?" List instinctively replied, "Stopping them would only have made them more curious, digging deeper! It's better to remain ignorant till the end. No matter what, Sir, you are innocent."
Hill looked at the pretending-to-be-foolish Tower Spirit and waved his hand to shoo him off, "I won't be meeting the Undead Tribe lately, handle whatever comes up."
Did List think it was better for Hill not to know as well?
