Fear drives many a tongue to still and the hatred between landen and Blood spans millennia in Terrielle.
Why explain yourself to a Queen that you think cares not for what you say? [ The tone Verim takes is one of contemplation.] Would your words be turned against you? Your friends? Could you expect that a Queen who is Blood would be sympathetic to a landen? Or, did he intend to kill Lady Vera and now hopes his silence and the clout of the Guilds might save him? Or at least make him a martyr. I've seen that as well.
If he were Blood, Fayura would ask that he let her into his mind to read his intentions and know the truth of his actions though it might destroy him. Unfortunately, those with a Jewel cannot touch the mind of landen without killing them.
