Chapter 155: Side Of Disrespect
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Come closer, Henry. I have a small, simple task for you," Caius said deviously, the corners of his lips lifting to form a sly smile.
"Yes, Your Highness," Henry repeated as he moved closer, keeping his head down. "What can this humble servant do, Your Highness?"
"Not much," Caius replied. "I’m sure it’s a task I can leave up to your discretion."
"Of course, Your Highness. I will make sure to do it to the best of my abilities."
"Wonderful," Caius said and leaned back, the smile still on his face. "A certain maid served Rose lunch while I was there. Not only was the meal atrocious, but she thought to add a side of disrespect. Now, I want you to ask the maid exactly what she did, and I’m sure you can devise a befitting punishment."
Henry lifted his head so fast, that he lightly strained his back and had to put a hand to it to ease the pain. "A maid?"
Caius raised a brow. "Is something wrong with your hearing?" he asked.
Henry shook his head. "I apologize, Your Highness. I shall find the maid at once and punish her accordingly."
"Another thing. You’re now in charge of Rose’s meals. If she is served anything as atrocious as what she was served for lunch, there will be hell to pay. Do you understand?" Caius asked.
Henry froze for a moment, then he nodded. "Yes, Your Highness."
"That is all."
