In the end, after he finished speaking, Violet made no statement on the matter.
She didn't need to make any statement to old Hawke at this moment.
She simply held her silence in a posture of dignity, like that of a queen, as if all things were just as they seemed.
Now was the time for the minister to declare his loyalty and express his thoughts.
And so, old Hawke now had to express what he wanted to say.
Under such circumstances, old Hawke, who had already said all he could, fell silent.
In this situation, he sunk into silence.
The air was filled with an eerie calm and silence.
He had to ensure his safety and that his actions were without fault.
Under such circumstances, he had to keep his promise.
If the other party made no statement at this time, then he should maintain his silence.
It was old Hawke's principle in handling such matters.
Everyone has their duties; once everything within their responsibilities is explained.
