Evil Duke, Please Be Gentle!

Chapter 392 [Bonus Chapter] Insulted (Chapter Preview)

"Who is there? I asked who was there!"

"Just shut your mouth and sleep old man, no one is there! There must be a bug or a rat!

You are free but we have to work in the morning!" shouted a young boy who was sleeping on the other side of the room.

He was already agitated that he had to give up his bed to a stranger and now he was even shouting like crazy every passing minute!

"If you would not let me sleep, I will send you to a stable for work instead of me!" he yelled as he turned  to the other side trying to sleep again.

Edward glared at the young boy with gritted teeth. If not for the knights standing on the door he would have killed him with the dagger in a second.

But he had to wait and analyze the situation first! When Leo had offered them to stay there, he had accepted it in a blink thinking that they all would be beneath him, begging him to let their precious daughter go!

Especially Leo, wasn't he in love with Evangeline! Then how could he order his sister to lock her room as if she was a criminal!

Was he not afraid that she would hate her further! His eyes fell on the delicious meal on the tray.

There was no way that they would serve him such fancy food when they have given him a servant's room for the lodging!

Why in the world were they forcing him so much to have his meal? There must be poison in it!

He gritted his teeth and then pushed the tray away.

The impact was enough for the tray to fall on the floor. All the dishes fell on the ground and broke creating a loud sound while the food was splattered all over,

It stained the walls and the floor and even the blanket of the boy who was trying to sleep on the rough floor on the side.

"That is enough!" The boy sat up and glared at the old man.

He was bearing all this time because of the knights standing on the door. It was the first time that the knights had come to this area.

The old man was suspicious therefore he did not meddle in his affairs. But now he had enough!

"What the hell! Who will clean all this mess? Have you gone crazy old man?

This is my room and I have made sure that it stays clean. Now look at all the mess you have made?" he wanted to beat the old man so much that his rage could be felt even by the knights.

They stared into their direction for a passing second but then looked away with the same blank face as if they had seen nothing.

But it was enough to increase the courage of the boy. So they would not protect the old man as he had thought.

After contemplating for a second, he decided to test his theory.

"Ask the maids to clean if it looks dirty. Why are you making such a fuss?" Edward stared at the fallen dishes and then glared at the boy as he turned to sleep giving a cold look to the boy.

"You! Are you out of your mind? Why would a maid clean the servants room?

Do you think you are a royal or an esteemed guest of the palace?

You are a worker just like me yet with so much arrogance!" he snapped as he could not bear more.

The man was too arrogant and such a fool! Wearing that shabby cloak and taking his bed, what did he even think of himself?

As if touching his weak point, the old man slithers like a snake and hissed!

"That is enough! Leave me alone!" he yelled in a cold and low voice that was dangerous but the boy just chuckled, he was not a least bit afraid by the old man whose one leg was already in the grave.

"Tsk! You want me to leave you alone! Then fine! Go and sleep on the floor where I was trying to sleep and leave my bed instantly!" he demanded, making the eyes of the old man narrowed at him.

Edward stared at the floor that had started to stink now. The soup was splashed all over and covered the whole ground.

There was no place left where one could even stand without getting dirty, much less sleep!

And why in the world would he sleep on the floor!

"You think too much!" Without giving another glance to the rude boy, Edward turned to sleep but the boy was not ready to let go!

He would have adjusted and slept on the floor for a day but he was the one who had created the mess then he would be the one to bear it!

With that thought, he pulled the blanket of the old man with a force and before he could sit and react, he pushed him to the other side with full force.

Edward was not ready for the impact as he had thought that the boy would bark again. Since the bed was small, he fell on the ground at the other side with a thud.

The food crumbs that were on the ground stuck to his clothes and a few pieces of vegetables started to stick with the liquid getting absorbed by his clothes.

He could feel the smell and his clothes getting wet. Not to forget that the pain of hitting the cold hard and rough floor.

"It is you who had dirtied the ground, so it would be only right that you will sleep there.

But if you want the bed, then clean it! If you cleared the floor well and got rid of the smell then I would give the bed to you and sleep on the floor again.

But until then do not even think about touching the bed or you will lose your hand this time!" he glared at the old man with cold eyes that were telling that he was not lying!

Edward stared at the knights who were still standing with a blank face as if they did not see how the young boy was bullying him!

"Hey! If you will not help me, I will tell my daughter everything!" he threatened but the knights did not react.

They did not even turn to look at him as if they could not hear him at all.

He was so pissed off that he wanted to beat all of them. But he had seen the muscles of the boy before. He knew that he was no match for him!

With gritted teeth, he stared at the boy who was leisurely sleeping on the bed while covering himself with Edward's blanket.

He had thrown his stained blanket for Edward to use who was already seething with anger.

"If you do not give me the bed, I will complain to the future duchess of the palace and you will be thrown out of the palace.

Not only will you lose your job but you will not be able to work anywhere too! So let go!"

"Tsk! Go ahead! What are you waiting for?"
