What she wanted was not the right answer at all! So providing a straight answer would be totally meaningless.
Meaningless, it's equivalent to....wait, something seems off.
Realizing this, Violet silently gasped, finding out that things were not that simple.
Ultimately, she had still overlooked something.
So now what she had to consider was two lines of logic.
One was her own attempt to test Rolin, aiming to portray the impact and direct consequences through her response.
The other one was the unknown logic hidden behind Rolin's answer.
This made her a bit frustrated, but all she could do now was to take a deep breath, straighten up, and forcefully pull herself together.
The issue wasn't big, at least not right now, everything was still under control, she comforted herself this way.
Violet started to understand clearly that what Rolin really wanted was not the so-called correct answer, what she wanted was the reason to reject that correct answer.
