"Why do you always apologize for something you didn't do, Lexx?"
"What did you say?" he asked, catching my attention as I raised my head. "Just now… what did you…?"
"Your Majesty?" I furrowed my brows, perplexed at what caused him to look at me in surprise. Did I say something offensive?
Stefan let out a weak scoff, shaking his head lightly. "It's… nothing." But I didn't think it was actually nothing, but I ignored it.
"Your Majesty, please forgive my insolence and tactless actions just now." I bowed politely, acknowledging my impudent actions towards him. He was still the king, after all.
"I will make sure it will never happen again. I must take my leave now."
He hummed a low tune, and I assisted myself up. I really needed to return or Ramin would be spitting fires; it'd be a miracle if the entire office wouldn't be set on fire now. But just as I took three hasty steps, I stopped when Stefan called.
