Chapter 165: The Centennial Ball Part II

Desiring an answer to this question, but not wanting to make a scene. Erich used his telepathic abilities to directly converse with the Princess with their minds. 

"You're saying that you are responsible for this incident? Why? What motive do you have for attacking your vassals?" 

Celestia was absolutely amazed that Erich had the ability to communicate with his mind. She had never heard of Germanic citizens have such extraordinary abilities, and though they were uncommon among the Germanic race, they did exist as a result of their extensive exploration of the human genome. Of course, this was a secret that the Germanic race had seldom revealed to outsiders. Thus, Erich was breaching all kinds of protocol to get a proper answer from the woman. 

The Alfheim Princess continued to bow her head, afraid to even look Erich in the eyes as she silently admitted her shame with her thoughts.
