I just gave a secret bitter laugh when I heard this.
It wasn't that I didn't believe that I didn't deserve this, it was just that I knew that I was suffering from the consequences of my own actions. If I hadn't tried to risk my own life, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way.
But since it did, there was nothing that I could blame it on.
Taking a deep breath, I said, "I'm sorry, it was all my fault. I was too arrogant and didn't think about anyone else."
Rose looked deep into my eyes when I said this and after looking at me for a bit, she said with a sigh, "Alright, I understand that you are indeed reflecting on your actions."
My expression was slowly relaxing until I heard her next words.
"But that doesn't mean that you can escape your punishment." She said with an evil look on her face.
I was taken aback when I heard this, but then I gave a calm nod to show that I would take whatever punishment that she gave me.
