"Explanations? Of course, but I think your explanations, Mr. Karman, would hardly change the impression I hold. If one or two people said this, it might be prejudice, but if everyone from different perspectives speaks the same, then it must be the truth," Komer said with a shrug and a light smile.
Komer's words made Karmani's face turn rather unsightly. He hadn't expected that the canal construction would leave such an impression in this noble lord's mind. It seemed that mere words were insufficient to clear up misunderstandings. The impression of the Gisa People had become deeply entrenched in everyone's minds, and the recent incidents had only added to Karmani's troubles.
Looking around, Karmani realized that now was not the time for detailed discussions. He silently retreated, choosing not to speak further. The others also dared not broach the subject further, and Carreila, who had intended to praise the canal's benefits, merely kept his mouth tightly shut.
