Chapter16 of chapter 7 You dare me!

Just then, the Duke raise his hand up and Marcus clearly understand what he meant.

Immediately, two guards men grabbed on Mr Henry abruptly out of the table, and the mumbling complaints died off instantly...

Everyone discomfited on what's going on, why did the Duke men take Mr Henry out of the table. Even Lady Emily was surprised, she was clueless like the others,  what's happening! 

Suddenly, Marcus stands up from his seat, clapped his hands, with no time, a servant walk into the room, with a heavy truck of a tree on his head which he dropped on the floor.

Mr Henry, who was confused on his immediate arrested, stammer. "Milord.... W-What's the means of this? Why am I dragged out of the table?" 

The Duke chuckled, raised his face at the man hold captive by the guards. 

"You don't have to worry Mr Henry, you would soon know the reason" he waved his hands to Marcus, and he proceed, he clapped his hands again. 

Two servants walk in, one with a wood log and the other with a axe, the log of the wood was place on top of the truck of a tree. What's the Duke planning to do! Everyone present on the table was curious! Even Isabella too, she really didn't understand what's going on but lady Pearl, who seated delicately, watching amazing. 

Of course, she knows exactly what to happen, a fool will always be a fool! 

Mr Henry was already feeling cold sweat on his forehead, he couldn't guess what the Duke wants to do with him, was the Duke going to punished him because of that black slut! The maid! 

"Mr Henry, can you please, chop the log of the wood into two pieces?" The man with power asked, looking mysteriously at shrivering man. 

Mr Henry sigh a relief breath, just for him to chop a log of wood, that the Duke almost scared his spirit out of him? It's truth the Duke was misunderstand man. 

The guards men release their grips from him. "Oh milord, you almost scared me to the bone. You just want me to chop a log that easy" 

" Sure it is" the Duke replied, folded his hand delicately, and watch the man.

Everyone mind was at rest, them thought the Duke was going to do something unthinkable for a black maid, but never! He wouldn't do that his opinion is different. Although the Duke is know for his power and heartless behavior, but he would stood that lower to punish one of his court members all for the sake of a black maid.. or would he? 

Lady Emily, who mind was at rest, relax her back on the chair headback. She was thinking the wrong thing before. Even if the Duke cherish this thing in the mansion, he would never steps it out to the society. This black thing never belongs here, she just hate her! Looking at Isabella despise her the most, jeez just her face is disgusting to looks at...

Mr Henry happily take the axe from the servant, fold his sleeve and step a bit closer to the log laying on top the truck of a tree. 

"It just to chop a log, what more can it be" 

Smiling, he raise the axe up with a force and release it down on the log.. within a second the log chop in two. Immediately, hands starting clapping , applause the man for his strong strength. Mr Henry was a muscled man, it would be easy for he to chop a log of wood. He stood up proud, bowed at the Duke and thank the others for appreciated his strength. 

"That was excellent, indeed impressive!" The Duke exclaimed, 

" Thank you milord" Mr Henry, replied gratefully. Feeling more proud with the Duke praises about his strength, unknown to him, there was more coming. Isabella on the other hand, didn't understand the Duke, was she bought here to be insulted by the members of the court room, is that the reason the Duke bring her here? 

Heartless jerk! She cursed inwardly, she was hoping maybe he had changed but no! He just get started to humiliate her .. she but on her lips nervously, staring down on the floor.. the Duke take a look at her, and turned to the proud man. Now, to start the main entertainment.

"With this Mr Henry, you would be surely be rewarded" 

Hearing this Mr Henry felt more joyful, he can't believe the Duke was going to reward him. It seen saying your mind thought out isn't bad after all. For now on, he would always speak what's in his heart, with this, the Duke might promote his position in the society! Who knows! 

Marcus chuckled, what a fool! 

The Duke stood up from his platform throne, walk to the stool where the wood are departed, he looked at the pieces of the broken wood that laid on the ground.

He raised his hand, and Mr Henry who was over joy with the Duke praises, respectfully give it to him not knowing what ill omen had knocked his door after speaking against his woman..

"Milord, do you want to chop a wood too?" Mr Henry asked curiously, 

" No, not at all" he takes a closer look at the axe on his hands, runs his fingers crossed the axe mouth, he sighed, " it sharp enough" 

Then a mischievous smile curled up on his lips, which his eyes turned a little darkened. 

"Mr Henry" called the Duke and the man was quick to attention. 

"Yes Milord" he answered ready to rewarded.

" Who would you like to be pushed out of this room?" He asked, whlie playing his fingers on the axe mouth, not looking at the man.

Mr Henry who of course, know who he wants to be kicked out of the room was no body but the black woman dress in expensive clothes which she thinks, she's one of them.. 

"Milord, since you have asked, and I want to be honest with you, I would like the black woman to leave" 

" Really? A black woman?" Arthur turn to look at the man with devilish eyes, who wasn't aware the Duke deadly gaze, and nodded. 

"Oh, you want her tobe kick out?" 

"Yes Milord" 

" Hm, since I'm the one who asked you for opinion, I would be nice to grant your word but you have to do the final request"

" Final request, there is another requests?" The man curiously asked, he wasn't aware the Duke would make another request but anything he wants to ask him of, he would do it without a thought. Since it involved the black girl kicked out of the mansion, he was born ready for it... The room was lit up with joy that the Duke wants to reward one of them for the first time....

"What do you want me to do milord, I would do it without hesitation" he assured.

Such a good royal cat, he just loves it, the way the fool is acting right now.

"Place one side of your face on the surface of the truck" 

" Milord?" Mr Henry was surprised with the Duke  request. The mood in the room suddenly turned silent, people in the room, eyes stared quietly at the Duke and the man.

The Duke sighed, his eyes moved from the axe to the man, who stands confused looking at the Duke..

"I don't like to be kept waiting"  the slimes on his face fall. Mr Henry with no more thoughts, kneel down and place his head on the tuck..

The Duke who was fully satisfied with the way the man obedientlyefy 

He raised the axe up above his head and release it down. Within some seconds, a head was rolling down the hall lifelessly
