That night, in the residence that the Dwarven King had prepared for us.
The group that had co with was gathered around a table and I was sitting at the head of that table.
All of them were standing around and glaring at like I had done sothing wrong.
Though if one thought about it…I had done nothing right this entire ti.
Not only did I get involved in the Dwarven King's private matters, I had even gotten involved in the national matters of the Dwarven Kingdom.
I had gotten involved with the anti human faction of the Dwarven Kingdom.
No matter how this ended, it would be ssy…
So they had all the right to be angry.
But it turned out that it was for a different reason.
After a long period of silence, Haley suddenly slapped the table and said in a sharp voice, "What were you thinking? Putting your life on the line like that, did you really think that was the best idea?"
I couldn't help flinching when I heard this voice.
I also secretly looked at the others and found that they all had similar looks on their faces, showing that they agreed with what Haley was saying.
I just lowered my head and said, "I'm sorry."
But she saw right through it and slapped the table again before saying, "I don't believe you."
Though I had apologized, it was more instinct than it was sincere.
I was apologizing since I knew that it would be easier to apologize now than later.
But in truth, I believed that what I did was right.
After all, if I didn't use sothing big like my own head as a bet, it wouldn't have drawn Drogath out.
He wouldn't have been forced into a corner where he would have no choice but to take my provocation.
So I didn't actually think that I was wrong.
Haley could of course see this, so she was even more angry.
I lowered my head and expected more angry words to co from her, but they didn't co in the end.
I slowly looked up and saw that she was looking at with a sad look.
My heart couldn't help trembling when I saw this sad look on her face.
I imdiately stood up and ca over to take her in my arms as I asked, "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" She repeated slowly before saying, "You really are sothing! Don't you understand my feelings at all!?"
I was taken aback when I heard this.
But she wasn't done yet as she said, "You're putting your life on the line like this without even telling anything and you expect to be alright with it? Why don't you think about how it feels for ?"
I was even more shocked hearing this.
However, I was slowly coming to realize my mistake.
I was indeed being too selfish.
I was certain that I would win, but for them…it wasn't as certain.
What I was doing in their eyes was putting my life on the line in this forging duel.
And they were just worried about .
Even if I was confident that I would win, the fundantal principle was still wrong since I was expecting them to know sothing that was impossible for them to know.
At the sa ti, I was just being selfish by acting the way that I wanted to.
In essence, this was just them being worried about and I was completely ignoring it.
I turned to look at Shaka and the others and found that they all had the sa sad look in their eyes.
I opened and closed my mouth a few tis, but words didn't co out as I didn't know what to say here.
In the end, all I could say was, "I'm sorry."
But this ti, it was sincere. This was sincerity that ca from the bottom of my heart.
I realized my mistake once again.
When I started using my knowledge from the ga, I started taking this world as a ga too.
That was why I was so callous with my life.
But this wasn't the case.
This world was a real world that I had reincarnated into and each of my actions had consequences.
If sothing changed and I lost, then it wasn't as if I would get out of having to give up my life…
Those were the real consequences of my action.
Seeing that I was apologizing for real, they all slowly cald down and we were finally able to get the real eting under way.
Haley wiped away the tears that had been in her eyes and she looked at with a serious look as she said, "What is your plan?"
The others all looked at with serious looks as well as they waited for to tell them.
Seeing them look at like this, I took a deep breath before deciding to tell them what I was planning to do.
If I kept it from them, it would just make them more worried about and that was the last thing that I wanted.
Since they were people that were close to , the last thing that I wanted to do was worry them or hurt them.
So I started explaining what my plan was.
They had confused looks on their faces as they listened to my plan, making it very clear that they didn't understand what I was saying.
But I couldn't bla them since most dwarves wouldn't understand what I was saying either.
This was a very advanced technique that very few people knew, so there would be no problem in taking care of Drogath in a few days.
After looking at each other and making sure that no one knew what I was saying, Haley looked at and asked, "How certain are you that this will work?"
I gave a firm nod and said with a confident look, "I'm 100% certain that I'll win."
They still had worried looks on their faces despite hearing this, but they still gave a nod and said, "Alright, we trust you."
