Seeing him still standing there, Kuruv frowned and urged, "What are you doing just standing around? Hurry up and apologize to the girl!"
Lucius bit his lower lip and shot a sharp glance at Merlin.
If looks could kill, Merlin would have died a thousand times over.
Lucius stepped toward the elf girl, his face turned to the side.
"I'm sorry…"
His voice was weak, barely audible.
Merlin rubbed his ear and said casually, "What did you say? Why didn't the professor and I hear it?"
Kuruv glanced at Merlin with a meaningful look but chose to remain silent.
Lucius clenched his teeth, raised his head, and shouted, "I'm sorry!"
The elf girl stepped back in fear but quickly steadied herself and nodded faintly.
"I… accept it," she whispered.
Without another word, Lucius turned and walked away.
However, his gaze met Merlin's, as if to say, I won't let you get away with this.
Watching Lucius and his two henchmen leave in humiliation, Merlin chuckled softly.
