Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 76

Finnian was already fuming because Amara had hidden him away, and her latest remark did nothing to soothe his temper.

"Make it up?"

He let out a cold chuckle, his demeanor dropping a few degrees. Amara was taken aback, not understanding why he was even angrier now.

She figured she had indeed wronged him earlier, so she apologized immediately. Wasn't that the polite thing to do? Why wasn't he satisfied?

"Yeah, I know what I did was out of line."

Amara had this habit of becoming overly apologetic when she knew she was in the wrong, as if saying sorry a hundred times could magically erase the other person's anger.

Not that she would actually do that it would be an excessive humility.

After a moment's thought, she offered, "I know I didn't handle it properly. If there's anything you need as compensation, just let me know."

Finnian's dark expression deepened. "Do you treat everyone this politely?"
