"My apologies, Mr. Owen. People from the Scarlet Aegis Empire can be quite impulsive. They tend to jump right into action the moment they meet someone."

Monica finally realized what had just happened.
"My deepest apologies," she said hurriedly, bowing to Owen. "It was incredibly reckless of me to offend you. I sincerely regret my actions."
Sweat formed on Monica's forehead.
