Duke Henry's eyes widened in disbelief as he listened to Peter's confession. "What? What did you just say?"
"I'm sorry, I accidentally opened the drawer and found this blowgun needle made of bamboo," Peter mumbled, bowing his head. He had indeed discovered the item in Duke Henry's drawer, a place that was strictly off-limits to anyone.
"So, you're saying that you opened my drawer? A place that should never be tampered with?" Duke Henry shouted in fury.
"I'm sorry, but I didn't know there was a rule like that," Peter replied, bowing even lower. Fear consumed him entirely. Regardless of the outcome, he knew he would face severe punishment.
"You insolent fool!" Duke Henry couldn't contain his anger any longer. Drawing his sword from his waist, he pointed it menacingly at Peter. "Not only did you trespass in a forbidden place, but you also accused me of harming Helena."
