As Graces stepped out of the First Military District's main gate, he saw Secretary-General Rheinska standing not far away.
Upon seeing him, Rheinska waved to get his attention.
Graces walked over. "You were looking for me? What's this about?"
Rheinska said apologetically, "I came to offer you my sincerest apologies."
"What have you done wrong?" Graces asked, his expression perfectly calm, as if he truly had no idea why Rheinska was there.
Rheinska sighed. "It's all my fault. I spoke out of turn without knowing the full story. When Lady Victoria asked about you, I just assumed she was curious and told her you were Duke Lu Xia's husband. I didn't know at the time that you had already become the main husband. And I certainly never imagined Victoria had such intentions. I'm truly sorry. My loose tongue has caused trouble for you and Duke Lu Xia, and I feel deeply remorseful."
Graces nodded. "I see."
"I can compensate you, if you'd like."
