Chapter 20: Proud

Next day.

Grand carriage with the insignia of the Greenhill Family treads carefully towards the Rose estate.

Countless onlookers were intrigued by the carriage and they patiently followed it waiting for a great show to happen.

The small event at the Jade Garden restaurant was already known by all. They were assuming that the Greenhill family couldn't take the embarrassment and would try to find an explanation from the Rose Family.

"This would be a great show."

"Yeah, if the Greenhill family was not satisfied by the explanation for yesterday's event, they would surely find trouble for the Rose family."

"We can now watch the big confrontation of the two big families, hehehe."

Countless discussions rang out in the surroundings.

The Greenhill grand carriage stopped at the front gate of the Rose family. There the three guards that were present at yesterday's event confronted them.

"Stop! What is your business here?" One of the guards named Gil stopped and asked them.

They already expected the sudden visit of the Greenhill Family to address yesterday's issue. That's why they were already here to 'greet' them.

The guards that were accompanying the grand carriage didn't open their mouths but merely turned their heads towards the carriage waiting for their VIP to speak for himself. They did this not because they were afraid of the three guards nor they didn't have respect for the VIP that they were accompanying. But this is merely the strict instruction of their family leader to show the utmost sincerity.

*THUD*

The door that was made of expensive materials, covered by golds in edges and has carved extremely detailed artwork opened up.

All looked at it waiting for someone to come down.

Even onlookers cock their heads.

A young man with a noble appearance appears alongside an elegant young miss.

They were Julius and Riana. The onlookers and the three guards were shocked to see them. They were expecting for the Family leader of the Greenhill to be the one to come in front of their door. They didn't expect it to be the younglings that were slapped hard yesterday.

All the onlookers look at the two parties waiting for an intense clash between the two groups.

"Good morning Mister Gil, we are here for Mister Azrael. Is he available?" Julius asked as he wore a pleasant and fake smile.

"He is busy." Gil said flatly, he is still puzzled by this young man's train of thought. [Is he braindead? After being taught a lesson yesterday he would still come and seek trouble. I could understand if his father was the one who came but instead this braindead the one that came. Why?] He thought.

"But I have an important matter to talk about with him." He said, still wearing a smile.

"He is busy." Gil repeated. They were advised by their lord to stop the Greenhill family as long as they can. And if things got escalated their lord wouldn't just sit still and would just face the brunt. This is the assurance of Maxwell to the three.

"He is busy."

Julius losing his patience little by little. And he still gritted his teeth. He absolutely doesn't want to admit here in public with many eyes watching him that he came here to apologize to Azrael. As long as possible he wants to talk with him in private and apologize but these guards just don't give him face. And outright rejected him. 

"But—"

"He is busy."

He wasn't able to form his sentence properly when Gil rejected him again. What a bliant slap in the face!

He gritted his teeth. If he couldn't achieve his goal this time. His father would surely break him.

He took a deep breath and exhaled. He repeated it more than five times. He was gathering courage to admit that he was here to apologize.

It is true the words of a wise man that it takes more courage to apologize.

The onlookers looked at him weirdly while the guards accompanying him and his sister looked at him worriedly. They were thinking that his brother was having difficulty breathing and would have a heart attack at any moment.

Then Julius opened his mouth, "I-I am here to a-a-a–" he gritted his teeth once more and took a deep breath, he was just too prideful, " I am here to apologize to Mister Azrael." He said meekly.

It was a tiny voice that's why they didn't hear it.

"What? Can you repeat it? We can't hear you enough." Said Gil.

Julius almost choked. He didn't expect that after he gathered all of his courage they wouldn't hear him. [Damn it!] He cursed internally.

"I am here to apologize to Mister Azrael. Happy?" He said while feeling the heat on his face. He was too ashamed. He felt a once in a century humiliation.

And his voice is loud and clear that the onlookers and the guard were dumbstruck.

This prideful young master came to apologize? That's why he was having difficulty breathing. He was so proud that uttering the words "apologize'' almost caused him a heart attack. They all thought.

"Ohhh, you came here to apologize. And what's more you two have complete teeth. Sigh, the one who made your teeth complete surely doesn't know what aesthetic is. He wasted my effort sigh.." The voice that has a hint of teasing and sarcasm travels through the air. All looked to the voice's owner's direction.

Julius pale hearing this. And he lowered his head, afraid of making contact with the new arrival. While Riana trembled as she held her cheek, feeling the ache that she felt when she was slapped by this voice's owner. She too lowered her head after she had the glimpse of the outstanding young man that had arrived.

"But I reject your apology, it was not sincere enough to touch my big and  benevolent heart."

Julius' world crumbled hearing this. He couldn't help but feel his body lose its strength and slumped down with his butt. 

"W-why?"

"Are you deaf or have low hearing comprehension? Didn't I say it was not enough to touch my big and benevolent heart."

The onlookers rolled their eyes. What my benevolent ass! You are clearly rubbing salt on a proud young man's wound. They all thought.
