"Haaa…"
Augustus returned to his seat among the distinguished audience.
His position was special, since he had been promoted to VIP status. Not only did he have a secluded section to himself, with only Logan being present with him, but he also had privacy since the area could be shielded from outside observation.
Right now, Augustus was using this effect to hide himself from everyone else.
He didn't want them to see his current expression.
'I didn't think it would feel this terrible…'
He sighed deeply.
Even though he convinced himself to go along with the Duke's plot, and constantly reminded himself of what he had to gain, he still couldn't get rid of the deep guilt that ate at his soul.
'It's not my fault. It was the will of the Duke. It's not like I could offend someone that powerful. Besides, if the Duke wants something, he'll get it. If I didn't agree, he would have found another way to eliminate my slave and I would be left with no benefits whatsoever…'
