"Wait! You can not do that. We are all heads of our houses and we.." Leo stared back at the man with such a cold look on his face that the man flinched.

"I can see you still are moving your uncouth mouth liberally. Shall I send you to an underground dungeon instead to show my powers to you?"

"Lady Wiltshire, can I have a moment please." She bit her lips. She did not want to say yes.
She had suffered so much because of his foolish plan. But in the end, he had thrown all the plans in the ditch just for her!
