While the misunderstanding was shocking, there were a lot of things that confused Nathan's mind. He thought about getting the clarification from Lilith, but the moment he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt a presence appearing behind him.
"!!!" Nathan and the others turned around, finding Count Ashton had returned.
"It took me longer than I originally thought." Count Ashton clicked his tongue with a core in his hand. His body was covered in injury, but it didn't seem to be bothering him. His calm expression returned.
He solemnly walked toward them, specifically Flora, and fell to one knee. "Luke Ashton greets Her Highness Flora. I'm honored to be rescued by Your Highness. Pardon my rudeness for not being able to greet you earlier, Your Highness. This favor will forever be engraved in my heart."
Flora looked surprised at the moment. It might be because she had been too familiar with Nathan that she forgot this was the basic courtesy, especially in this kind of group.
