Venus stared at Odin in shock, unable to process what she had just heard. The man who had never once admitted to his faults was now apologizing to her. The moment felt both surreal and unexpectedly joyous, stirring emotions she hadn't anticipated.
"Say something," Odin urged, breaking the silence.
"Are you... sincere in your apology?" Venus asked, her voice tinged with disbelief.
"Do you find it insincere?" Odin responded, his tone was a mix of challenge and curiosity.
"It's just... surprising to hear you apologize. It's almost unbelievable," Venus admitted, her eyes searching his face for any hint of deceit.
Odin chuckled just as the server arrived, carefully setting down a large bowl of lamb soup, a bowl of rice, and an assortment of side dishes on the table.
"Thank you," Venus said politely, picking up her spoon as the server bowed lightly and walked away.
