you will be sorry - you will regret it.
If I am right it means " something unfortunate will be brought to you." Sorry to bother you, I am not getting the meaning of it.

I mean in what sort of circumstances I can use this sentence.
Does this sentence possess negative meaning according to the situation.

(If any one asks you who your master is,answer:the Marquis of Carbas.
otherwise you will all be sorry)
please reply.

Dear Sonya,

You can use this expression when you want to frighten somebody or prevent one from doing something foolish or bad.
