"…What do you mean?"
'I tortured those servants, yes. And I'll probably do worse in the future. But I want to know, why do you care so much? They're not related to you. You're not the one inflicting the pain. I am. No offense, but you don't contribute anything to my power. So why does this bother you? It has absolutely nothing to do with you.'
Valentine went silent again, as if pondering. Then, softly: "I care because it's wrong. Isn't that enough?"
'Not to me. No.'
Valentine let out a breath. "I agreed I wouldn't interfere as long as you did it to people who deserved it. But from what I saw, those maids only wanted to search your room. Torture was too much. No matter how I think about it, it was too much. They didn't do anything to deserve that."
