Roy had never seen Dora argue with anyone before.
The Red-haired Knight from the Lien family never wasted time on verbal disputes. She acted decisively, loathed schemes, and was always straightforward, often using more direct methods to resolve things she found disagreeable.
Kicking down a sleazy harasser, hanging a bullying young noble over the Lerle Fruit Tree for public display, or inviting a competitor with dark intentions to openly duel—this was her style.
So, Roy was a little surprised.
He walked over to Verona, asked a few questions in a low voice, and gained a better understanding of the dispute's details.
When Dora first stopped Vivian, she only wanted Vivian to go to the estate and apologize to Bella. But Vivian refused, repeatedly explaining she didn't intentionally cling to Sam. Dora wanted her to explain to Bella face-to-face, but Vivian hesitated, seemingly afraid of being reprimanded and troubled.
And so the conflict intensified.
