This way of shirking responsibility and making excuses will only engender disgust and dissatisfaction. Everyone detests these unfounded, random remarks.
When something goes wrong, everyone wants to find the person responsible, instead of listening to someone shirking their responsibility.

"But I know who attacked you." Upon hearing this, the female knight smiled scornfully, then looked at the guard captain with disdain.
"So you're saying you're involved."
The guard captain deeply inhaled, then sighed in resignation.
