There was no arguing the fact that Raknar was right. There was no easy way to explain how she had fled the crime scene and then ended up at whatever port she was found. Only a criminal would run after something like that happened. The more she thought about it the more clear it became to her why Lyle had done that.
He had moved her around in an unconscious state for days so as to really put it all on her. To make it seem as though she had plotted to kill her husband and after doing so, she had fled. While she had woken up once she heard him talk about how this family would hate her once they found out what she had done.
So this was his plan to make them hate her. He wanted her to see the hatred of these people because in a normal circumstance, judging by her previous lies, no one would believe a word she said, especially when she had fled the place like a criminal would.
