"Dame Verns, please accept my sincere apologies for the incident during the soldiers' inspection. I want to assure you that I had no intention of making any jokes about your appearance. It was a spontaneous act," Noah spoke up, breaking the silence.

Clara paused momentarily before responding, "I realise now that I was also at fault for my rash accusations towards you. Please accept my apologies as well."

Clara's face lit up at the knight's compliment. It was the first time he had ever said anything positive about her.
