When the Minister had the question he was not very surprised. He had already expected Yama to question him about this. The only thing was that he did not expect him to ask ok so early. Without denying the Minister answered honestly.
"Yes master, I knew."
"Yet, you did not told me."
The minister's face turned pale when he heard the lowered voice which contained a tinge of rage. The way Yama was suppressing his anger, it was evident that he was very angry. He just did not wanted to erupt all of a sudden. In a stuttering voice the Minister answered.
"I wasn't... I wasn't allowed to do so... M... Master..."
Yama squinted his eyes and looked at the minister's face and studied whether he was lying or not. Observing him for a brief moment of seconds Yama could not trace any sign of lies on the minister's face.
"Is there anything else which is hidden from me?"
