"You'd better apologize quickly, and once you do, I'll be on my way, so as not to block the path and keep everyone from leaving," Tan Rou said.
Mia tried to persuade her companions, "Elinka, please just apologize to Miss Rou; she is not unreasonable. As long as you apologize, she won't make things difficult for you."
Some hesitated because they had witnessed Tan Rou's abilities, but Elinka disagreed, speaking defiantly, "I've never apologized to anyone in my life, and who is she anyway? Why should I apologize to her? I'm going to tell my father, let him seek an audience with His Majesty, and have this foreign woman thrown out."
Tan Rou thought to herself that Elinka's father probably wouldn't be able to see the King, as he was still asleep at the moment.
"Then go ahead, but I've heard His Majesty hasn't been seeing many visitors lately. I'm not sure if your father will be able to see the King," Tan Rou said with a smile.
