Grand Duke Morris understood what Prince Simdo meant, and his face fell. He knew there was no way he would come out of this unscathed.
He had dared to attack Green and Princess Mulesina because he was certain he could control the situation. Whatever happened, it would not affect the bigger picture or harm the interests of Prince Simdo and Princess Muer Yatis. He might even take over the Gemu Company and make the pie bigger.
But things had gone beyond his expectations. Those cunning Lorenzo had been hiding their strength!
He clearly could no longer control the situation. Someone would have to take responsibility, appease Green and Princess Mulesina, and repair the relationship between the two sides.
As the one responsible, he certainly would not escape punishment. The only question was what form it would take. He would not be killed, but he would have to pay dearly, compensate them for their losses, and apologize.

For him, a grand duke of the Divine Eagle Empire and a High Calamity Rank powerhouse, to apologize to a princess and a duke from a small kingdom would be a stain on his life. It would remain a sore point for the rest of his days and make him a laughingstock.
