"I'm sorry!" King Xin sobbed, appearing pitiable with her teary eyes.
King Shuanglin's eyes widened as he wondered if he had heard wrong, the usually proud and haughty King Xin had actually apologized to him. To anyone familiar with King Xin, this was absolutely inconceivable.
Thinking of King Xin's recent offer to grant him a favor and her sudden change of attitude, King Shuanglin felt that King Xin wasn't intentionally being capricious to mock him; there had to be some hidden distress.
As for what that distress might be, King Shuanglin didn't know and didn't want to. King Xin had intended to grant him a favor, and now it would seem ungracious to insist on fighting with her over Chen Hao, especially since King Xin seemed so embarrassed, an expression she had never shown before.
"Since King Xin has asked to keep the person, I can only agree," said King Shuanglin, though his heart was reluctant since the boy who had killed King Ning was right within reach.
