”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.
