When They Beg, I Rise!

"I really don't want to repeat myself!" Lucian, usually the epitome of calm, now had an air about him that was, frankly, a bit intimidating. He glared at Alaric, his frustration evident. "Have you forgotten why you're here today?"

It was then that Alaric cooled down, remembering his original intention for attending the party was to mend fences with Lemira.

But how had things escalated to this point?

Sensing the tension, Evelina cautiously said to Alaric, "Let's go, Alaric. My foot's starting to hurt."

Reluctantly, Alaric left with Evelina, without offering an apology.

Lemira watched the spectacle unfold before her, finding the whole situation absurd.

Apart from that, she felt nothing.

Evelina's antics and Alaric's reactions were all too familiar, and they only served to deepen her disdain.

Lucian, swallowing his own discomfort, carefully said to Lemira, "I apologize on Alaric's behalf. I never expected him to act this way."

When Alaric boldly demanded an apology from Lemira, Lucian felt even more remorseful.

Lemira's voice was cold. "I don't accept his apology."
