CH24 Ancient Dragon, Uthvaazgol; Zora’s Death
***
The moment Alex locked eyes on Merlin, he quickly bowed.
"Master, I apologise for my rudeness. I hope you will overlook my transgression and disrespect."
From his previous life, Alex had learned that sometimes it was best to apologise—even when you were right—especially if the other party was a superior. It helped move things forward more smoothly.
Of course, one had to do it in moderation to avoid being looked down upon.
As expected, Merlin now found himself in a difficult position.
Zora had already shown him the error of his ways, and he had resolved to apologise to Alex for putting him on the spot. It was just... he was uncomfortable apologising to a child.
Even if the matter was settled now, a part of him might have still harboured displeasure towards the boy for turning down such a generous offer.
But with Alex apologising first, Merlin felt a lump in his throat he couldn’t quite swallow. There was no longer any way—or reason—for him to act out.
Zora chuckled at his conflicted expression. Still, she gave him a pointed glare that forced him to respond.
