Man people are hating on Erika a lot, as far as she is concerned she has no reason to not believe him, and considering the rumor was that he killed a servant and her daughter, and he himself confirmed it, and he even sounded like he was boasting about it, in her eyes he's the scummiest of scum, and damn a slap for killing someone, that's light. But I do think that she still has hope, even if it's minuscule in size, that he's lying about the murder, cause of the pill situation.
