"What...do you mean?" Varion reflexively stood up and stepped back in alert. "Are you...are you doing to use mind reading skill?!"
"Mallarc!" this time, Darleon couldn't help but glare at Radia too.
Mind reading skill, after all, was something morally condemned, even in a criminal interrogation. It breached an individual's right to privacy for their own mind. It was frowned upon especially because a mishap during the process would easily lead to brain damage.
While in some cases this method was still enacted, it usually needed ministry-level permission and was only done to a death-row inmate deemed unsalvagable.
Had Radia Mallarc stooped so low to use that kind of method?
"Ah, don't misunderstand," Radia smiled nonchalantly. "I did say we have to see your memory, but I'm not going to read your mind."
