Henry bit his lip in agitation as he watched the Duke walk closer to him. He could tell that the Duke was not in a happy mood.
Moreover, the Duke was speaking too much. The last time Henry saw the Duke act like this was when he went mad with rage in a war. The enemy had not survived to be able to tell what happened.
"My dear Henry, I thought you were smart enough not to come between me and what I wanted to achieve. But are you foolish enough to bite the hand that fed you?"
The duke asked in an annoyed voice. He sounded angrier by the second, but Henry had no idea what the Duke meant by these words.
"I…Duke, did something happen? I am not sure what you mean by all this, but if it is something important, then I-"
"First, you committed a crime, and now you are pretending to be innocent and trying to tell me that you did nothing? This is not going to work for me. I am afraid that I will have you pay the price."
