"...I am truly sorry, Your Excellency, but I did not intend to spy. It's just that your skill is so exquisite that I forgot to reveal my form."
Apologizing sincerely, Apollo spoke from the heart. He noticed the other's changing complexion, but the young deity still thought it was due to his own rudeness, making him feel even more embarrassed.
"In fact, I came here specifically to inquire about a matter."
"Your behavior hardly matches your looks, stranger deity. No more excuses, we have nothing to discuss,"
Hephaestus dismissed the apology without a second thought in a cold voice.
Faced with this, Apollo furrowed his brows slightly but, considering his purpose for the visit, he steeled himself.
"I apologize once again for my actions, but Prince Hephaestus, I also hope you can understand my feelings and listen to the injustice I have suffered."
