Manton again closed his mouth and silently led the way to the front left.
Hill watched his hesitant expression and spoke directly, "What do you really want to say?"
"I think, I need to say I'm sorry to you," Manton stammered, "Back then, I was too young, and everyone around me told me that you were here to compete with me for the title.
As I grew older, they told me that Lady Melanie was driven out of the castle after failing to claim the title.
And to protect me from you and your mother, everyone around me had sacrificed a lot.
So, during the years you returned to the castle, I treated you very poorly and did not stop those around me from being rude to you."
Manton glanced at him, "I really want to say I'm sorry.
I was too foolish back then.
As for the past, Lady Melanie's matter."
"You were just a child back then, what does it have to do with you?" Hill interrupted him.
