Bab 95: shield 2 (contains minor flashbacks)

The maid already was poor, her background may not be good enough for a legal born son but as a female she still could at least become a concubine. 

"young master-" 

"I will give you one chance only, and that is to leave and say nothing about this. I will never! take a concubine. With your rank and family background is too low for you to attach yourself to me. Leave! Whatever it is, I will find out alone!" 

Don Uk roared feeling disgruntled. Women were already few. A maid can climb and become a low rank concubine easily, but Don Uk had no desire for such a woman who dared to enter a man's private abode without first informing him. She could have left when no one answered. Why would she stay around when no one answered?

Never in all of his existence had Don Uk so far been treated like this, a servant dared to thwart him so blatantly.
