The Sea King seemed at a loss, on one end, his pride as a ruler made him hesitant to apologize to someone he considered to be of lower rank than himself.
On the other end, King Askel clearly had been controlling his anger while waiting for this moment for too long, he was not going to back down or consider the Sea King's ego.
Zariah quirked a brow, curious to see if the Sea King would actually apologize.
It was not as though Zariah was unwilling to offer her aid or expected benefits in return, but the thing about the supernatural realm was that, the clear line of dominance and superiority always needed to be established.
The moment the Crimson Moon took a submissive stance to any of the domains, they would never be able to recover from that.
"Very well then, I am willing to apologize for this misunderstanding. I hope Lady Zariah can forgive this so we may move past it." The Sea King relented.
