"Why are you three acting like you've committed some crime?" Luke asked in surprised.
"We acted disrespectful towards you young master. Forgive us since we didn't know it was you." The wizard said in a shaky voice, fear visible in his speech.
"The fourth young master punished us with hundred beating when he forgot to kneel in his presence. We were unaware of the etiquettes that time young master. We ask for your forgiveness." The sword mage said.
"That bastard!" Luke gritted his teeth in anger upon hearing Leo tormenting the commoners to satisfy his ego.
"There are no such things as kneeling in my presence. Even the duke himself doesn't promote or ask for things like that. It's just Leo bossing around to satisfy his ego." Luke said with a deep sigh.
"Stand up. You know I've been banished right? so technically, I'm no longer a noble, but a commoner like you."
The three of them looked towards each other, hesitating to get up. The fear Leo had ingrained in them was quite large.
