Chapter 115
The duke stared up at Rexid with a disgusted look on his face before standing up with a sigh.
“I don’t have anything more to say. I shall send over the heiress’ new guards shortly.”
“Oh, you’re leaving already?”
Rexid called out to the duke as he was about to leave. The duke looked at Rexid, truly confused as to his response, before looking at me.
“I am sorry if I said something to offend you.”
“Oh! No, it was my fault, I’m really sorry. I’ll make sure that nothing like this happens again.”
“It’s just that… I’m sensitive when it comes to these kinds of things.”
“…”
Right. He had been searching for his missing wife for over a decade; it seemed as if I had unintentionally triggered the duke’s trauma. I felt so bad that I couldn’t even say anything in response.
After staring at me for a while, the duke spoke up again.
“Please take a guard with you whenever you go outside from now on, even if you find it frustrating. Now, if you’ll excuse me.”
