The marquis had a shocked look on his face when he heard this, but he didn't dare say anything to refute it.
Instead, if one looked closely, they would be able to see his hands were tightly clenched.
Then the marquis lowered his head and tightly gritted his teeth as if he was filled with rage over this situation.
But after a long moment of silence, the marquis raised his head and said, "Yes, your highness. You are correct. I was too impulsive and made a rash decision that I shouldn't have made."
He had to take a deep breath before he turned to me to say, "Count Zwein, I apologize for any offense that I have committed before. I hope that you can find it in your generous heart to forgive me for these offenses."
If one listened carefully, they could hear the faint unwilling tone that was in his voice when he said this.
But the look on his face would have fooled anyone.
