also,

suppose we have a direct route from A-B .
will there be a possibility that the there exists routes A-C and C-B such that Distance(A-B) > Distance(A-C) + Distance(C-B)
hence shortest distance from A to B will be via C and not the direct path.

If Distance(A-B) > Distance(A-C) + Distance(C-B) has to be considered then good tours cannot be found in small times.
That's correct direct routes do NOT always mean the shortest route. And the shortest route wins over shortest time (as long as execution time is not exceeded
