"I'm sorry for overstepping, Tenth Sun," she apologised immediately, her tone composed and devoid of pride.
Asher stayed silent for a moment, then nodded. He knew the only reason these two were being respectful and calm was because they were talking to him; if it was another person, they might have already started flaunting their Royal status, using it as leverage to extract information without hesitation.
