"Oh?" Elias widened his eyes. "Could it be—was Andrei's death related to you? Is there a hidden story behind this?"
Charlton shook his head. "No, Andrei's health was always poor, which is well-known."
"The initial concept for this domain actually came from him. At first, my son and I only wanted to suppress the contamination in our bloodline to save him and future generations."
"But before we could develop a solution, Andrei suddenly had an attack and turned into a monster."
"He didn't want to repeat history, like my father, who killed his own family. So, while he still had some sanity left, he ended his own life."
"From this perspective," Charlton quietly observed Olivia, who had her ears covered, "she is lucky. Even after turning into a monster, she didn't lose her sanity."
"You're lying," Elias stated firmly. "You must have killed the prince. And the reason for killing him is the same as with Olivia—you feared he was a threat to you."
