Works for none

"what do you like to order Madel?" Henry asked Madel sweetly.

Instead of looking at the menu she looked at the kitchen and the tables around them.

The Guhil Restaurant was a High rank restaurant which stands at the middle of the City. It had a spaceous dining hall with white, silver and dark blue motif. At the center, a huge flower vase was filled with elegantly arranged flowers.

The thick blue curtains were intricately embroided with silver threads and the tazzles were made of large diamonds and other precious gems.

The illumination pearls were floating in spiral manner at the high ceiling. The wooden tables paired with wooden chair where skillfully carved with rare beasts.

Helen scanned the menu and compared it with her memory. There was nothing clean to eat in that place.

Francis was waiting for them to order.

"Nothing" Madel answered Henry frankly.

"anouncing the arrival of the Elders of Guhil Clan." The butler announced.

The main door of the dining hall opened and the elders walked in two straight lines. There were a total of 20 elders.

[For them to come all the way here, I think the play would be starting.] Henry thought. Cheska pointed the most expensive dishes in the menu. Looking innocently at the flustered waiter, Henry could easily deduce what was happening.

"I am sorry mam, but that dish is not available at the moment." The waiter politely said.

"Well, I especially came here to taste this special dish. How about this?"

Suddenly an elder came and interrupted her. With Cheska's status in her clan, she can choose to ignore the elder since his ranking was beneath hers and the standning of her clan was higher. But still she politely looked at the elder and smiled.

"I am sorry for the incovinience, our servant probably got lost and sat at a wrong place." He immediately grabbed Madel's arms to pull her.

"Release her" Henry said with authority. Obviously his standing was higher with all of the elders combined.

"But, young master, this restaurant is not a place for lowly servants to eat. Surely you do not want to lower your status by allowing a beggar to eat with you." Elder Nod said.

Madel politely stood up when Henry firmly ordered her to sit down. Francis and Helen was confused at what is going on but they were surely offended by the elder's tongue.

"No Henry, there is no point in staying, since our friend is not welcome here, it us best for us to go." Cheska said with a polite smile.

[innocent smile with deadly tongue. This miss is truly scary] Henry shuddred within.

"Yes, obviously, this place does not like our presence." Helen retorted.

"it is not what it look likes young miss." The butler explained.

"Enough, our guest may leave as they please but our servant stays." Elder Han firmly said.

The group of five stood up, Henry held Madels hand firmly and they all walked towards the door.

"You!" The butler pointed at Madel.

"Have'nt you heard the Elder, he said that you stay put."

They walked as if they did not heard him.

The guards immediately blocked the door and shouted in chorus.

"The servant stays!"

"servant? who is your servant?" Cheskah looked back and gave the elders a challenging smile. Coming from a family of physicians, whose parents are working at the imperial palace, they could not offend her.

"The lady who is wearing a veil and mask may have not informed you young miss, but she is currently working for us, however she had offended one of our family members and failed to execute her duties. We need her to stay to be punished." Elder Han politely explained.

"Can I see your contract then?"

"this..... Elder Fumi bring out the contract."

"We.. we dont have a contract. But this woman delivers fruits and vegetables in our restaurant ever since she was little. We did not made a contract to let her go to school. Her faults clearly shows what an ingrate she is" Elder fumi said trying to point the fault to Madel.

Henry rolled his eyes and continued to walk towards the entrance.

"since they don't have the contract let's go." he said.

"wait Henry, These elders probably did not know that Kyline already dismissed Madel off her duties. So I took her in."

"Dismissed?" The elders were shocked.

Cheska showed them what happened in school up to the point where she asked Kyline to tell the elders about Madel's dismissal.

There face grew dark as they all looked at Elder Fumi, Kyline's father.

"Elder Fumi, what is the meaning of this? has your daughter gone insane? Who gave her the authority to decide on business matters" Elder Kwon scolded.

"I want to talk to your master, this servant dares to decide things on herself as well. Youth these days surely have the guts to do as they pleased " Elder Han calmly asked

Just as Henry received his cue Madel clearly interrupted.

"I don't have a master. I only do things to please my father in heaven." she answered.

"No master? Then were did you stole the goods that you delivered to us? dont tell me you sold us stolen goods?"

[Cheska was right, he really needed to act as her master in front of those despicable elders] Henry gritted his teeth.

Francis and Helen simply watched the drama and observe the culture in planet Rosetha.

"I am her master and today I say that we never associate with Guhil clan members or step foot in this restaurant ever again." Henry said while holding Madel's hands tigthly.

"Yes master" Cheska said.

"Yes master" Francis and Helen got the signal and answered in chorus.

"How about you Madel?" Henry asked.

"yes.. yes Henry. I mean yes master."

Despite their indignation the elders could not push to offend Henry. The Fulinhar family is the richest clan in their country. They will crush anyone just because of a small issue such as this. That is the rule to maintain their power. Compared to the Fulinhar family which was like a mountain with strong foundation, their clan was merely an ant.

After Henry's group left the place, Kyline was called over. She was ordered to kneel the whole night outside on a beads of small pearls.

She was crying and begging for forgiveness but the elders had already given their decision and that was to cut her off from their clan together with her father.

The fruits and vegetables that Madel used to sell them for 1000 Florin stone where now being bought for for a milliin or two. The goods would often be delayed because the hunters may fail to collect all of their ordered supplies. Their clan would soon collapse from the lack of funds and goods.
