83 Evil duke, Please be gentle

To say that the man was shocked would be an understatement! He had thought that the lord would be angry and punish him. He was ready to spend a few days in prison. He had even steeled his heart to get beaten a bit. But dying! He had neve thought that he would be killed for this reason. His face turned ghastly pale, he could see his death standing in front of him with a cold face.

He fell on the ground but crawled back instinctively when the knights moved closer to him. 

"No! No! Please spare my life." he continued to shake his head and beg for mercy, but none of them was ready to listen to him. They have learnt to listen only to Leo.

"Weren't you anxious to die! Now why are you afraid?" asked the knight with a smirk on his face. The man was so shocked that he did not know what to do or say to save himself from these bloodthirsty demons.
