Carlotta thought and thought, suddenly realizing she couldn't rashly ask the other party why they were injured.
As the last remaining powerful elf left in the Bass Archipelago, the other party's strength was undoubtedly terrifying. Yet even so, she had sustained injuries, wounds difficult to recover from through conventional means. This alone was enough to indicate something extremely serious was involved.
Under these circumstances, she couldn't simply go and reveal she knew about the other's injury. How could she possibly know? Unless she was somehow connected to the incident that caused the injury, which would be extremely unsafe.
Right now, Valerie clearly didn't look like someone who was injured. She shouldn't see through this.
To avoid any accidents, she absolutely mustn't say anything she shouldn't. But if she didn't mention this, how could she possibly establish a connection with the other party?
