While Cecilia was feeling quite puzzled, she had to act as polite as her visitor was.
“You're too kind, Elder Cowper. It's our honor that you're willing to visit us. Please take a seat and enjoy a cup of coffee.” When she finished speaking, she returned to her chair.
Someone swiftly brought a chair for Desmond and served him a cup of coffee.
“Let's not beat around the bush, Lady Jingle. The reason I'm here is that I've received an order from Lord Frey to deal with Peyton's matter.” Desmond went straight to the point.
I knew it. He's here for that. She replied, “Indeed, Peyton is killed by Crimson Palace, Elder Cowper. If you're here for revenge, then just do it.”
Aura gathered around Cecilia as she prepared to strike.
When Desmond saw that, he quickly waved his hands. “You have misunderstood, Lady Jingle. I'm not here for revenge. Peyton was an arrogant id*ot who dared to conspire against you, so he deserves to die. I'm here to apologize on Lord Frey's behalf, Lady Jingle. Lord Frey apologizes for not teaching Peyton well, which was why he acted so rashly.”
His words stunned her, so much so that she was at a loss for words.
The situation was completely different from how she expected it would unfold.
She knew what kind of person Richard was, and he wasn't the type of person who would apologize.
After all, he didn't need to apologize to anyone being the leader of the most powerful sect in the south.
And yet, he had sent someone to apologize to Crimson Palace.
Cecilia was dumbfounded as she had no idea what Divine Beast Sect was trying to do.
