The moment that Alan brought Ryuji into another room, he slammed the door. Yumiko and Erika were waiting with the princess because Alan asked for some time with Ryuji. Alan then immediately dropped to his knees and placed both palms on the ground.
"Forgive me, Ryuji. Though I believe you understand my meaning. I still used you as a betting chip." Alan's voice, thick with remorse, sounded hoarse and gritty as he slammed his forehead against the floor.
Though it felt dramatic to Ryuji. Alan, who made many promises. Might have thought that Ryuji felt betrayed.
'This guy is really too serious for his good...'
'Isn't he doing me a favour? Despite this, he's almost crying.'
"Alan, stop being dramatic... I don't think you were wrong, and this isn't going to be so simple, right? You are her uncle and likely have already discussed something of this nature in the past."
Thud!
