Chapter 91 – Chapter 7 – The Red Tarantula
Unable to contain his curiosity, Count Fremont headed to the place where the man had just disappeared.
No matter how much the commoners’ spirits were revived, he was openly rude to the nobles.
When he suddenly moved, Eggma also hurriedly followed.
I wondered if there was a problem, but no matter how much I thought about it, nothing came to mind.
Before long, I could see a man about to be tied up in a corner of the barracks.
“Look, Guard Captain.”
“Yes, Count.”
“What is the punishment that commoner receives, so why are you trying to tie him up?”
“Ah. I ordered 50 whips.”
“A whipping 50s? Then people will not be able to endure it and will die.”
“Originally, it was the situation before the Continental War that nothing happened even if a commoner showed even the slightest disrespect to aristocrats and died on the spot.”
Sadly, what Eggma said was true.
Until the outbreak of war, for the common people, the aristocracy was a sky that they did not dare to look at.
The moment they went against their will, they could be punished right away, and in severe cases, they could be killed.
Of course, if you take your life, you will be in a little complicated situation, but there were people who saw it as no big deal.
“Anyway, even so…”
It was the Earl of Fremont, who shook his head in disbelief.
He himself is an aristocrat and has a sense of aristocratic privilege.
However, the estate right next to it was, of course, the Marquis of Kienmeyer.
It was ambiguous to show how he treated commoners badly, and the few real nobles were the Earl of Fremont, who secretly admired him while looking at him.
So the fact that a commoner was whipped to death in front of his eyes was extremely uncomfortable.
Should I step in, should I intervene, should I just not, or should I just stand by.
It was the moment when the Earl of Fremont pressed his forehead with such anguish.
‘… Uh?’
Something was strange, even very strange.
When the guards removed his spectacles and pushed his head upward, he saw a strangely familiar face.
Count Fremont, who blinked his eyes at the man, slightly turned his head.
I wondered if this guy named Eggma had noticed anything, but he didn’t notice.
“Captain of the guard?”
“Yes, Count.”
“Do you know who the nobles who collided with that commoner were?”
“I don’t know exactly, but they were said to be young children of noble families.”
“I must be the same age as you. Right?”
“Perhaps it is. But why is that question…”
Suddenly, something ominous shoots through the body.
This blue-eyed young fellow named Eggma, as well as the children of the aristocrats.
At the height of the Continental War, he was only a child of single digit age.
They had never experienced war, never suffered from it, and most of all, they were still in their teens after the war ended.
‘… No way.’
Suddenly, I remembered a letter from my son and daughter.
Surprisingly, the man his father had been talking about is here as a professor.
Some call them heroes, others call them demons, and others call them commoners.
The man called Klaus was at the Continental Academy.
Then the Earl of Fremont caught eyes with a man who was tied to his pole and was about to be tormented.
At that moment, the Count involuntarily spat out curse words and had to throw himself away.
“Damn it!!”
The Earl of Fremont, who suddenly jumped out and grabbed the guard who was about to whip him.
Then, I approached the pillar and checked the man’s face once more.
He gave off a slightly different aura than before, but he was clear.
“Earl Fremont. Why is that? A problem with punishment…”
“Crazy bastard! Shut that snout!”
Whoo!-
It happened really quickly.
The Earl of Fremont clenched his fist and punched the captain of the Eggma Guard in the face.
The blow was so hard that it was Eggma that even spilled blood from his nose.
Watching his superior literally floating on the floor and sinking to the ground, the guards went crazy.
What the hell, what the hell does this mean?
“Keuk…”
It was the same with Eggma who couldn’t say anything in such a sudden situation.
Throwing a sword at the chief of the city’s guards is no different than going to battle right away.
Even a decent number of nobles couldn’t treat the person who was in charge of the city’s security carelessly.
That’s why Eggma, who came from an insignificant collateral, took this seat with great energy.
However, the Earl of Fremont broke that unwritten rule in one fell swoop.
Even if asked to choose between an aristocrat and a commoner, he would say noble after a second of thought.
A great man who has no other ideas about the privileges of nobles!
“Ph, Count Fremont. Why the hell are you like this…”
“I told you to shut up! Crazy bastard, are you incompetent!!”
She screamed so loud that Eggma flinched and collapsed.
The momentum was so vicious that it seemed as if it would trample on itself at any moment.
Soon after, he had to see and hear the unbelievable sight.
“Look. Are there any injuries anywhere? Is there any place where the body is damaged?”
“It’s all right, Count Fremont. Thank you.”
A nobleman, the Earl of Fremont, one of the great nobles above the earldom.
He said that as if he was worried as he freed a commoner himself and inspected his body here and there.
His voice and gestures were so cautious that he seemed to be dealing with a higher rank.
The moment Eggma tried to say something, seeing that he couldn’t accept it no matter how hard he tried.
The Earl of Fremont, biting his lip, again revealed a menacing spirit.
“… You fucking bastard!”
Whoops!-
“Fuck!”
Before he could get up from his seat, he was once again beaten by Earl Fremont, but the Eggma Guard Captain.
Even this time, the physical and psychological shock was more severe because he had hit the stomach with his foot.
I couldn’t figure out what the hell was going on or how things were going.
Why was the Earl of Fremont suddenly beating him?
I didn’t have the slightest regret about meeting him.
He had no enmity with himself, and my family was not hostile to his.
“What are you doing!!”
“Eh, eh?”
“What are you doing! Without escorting this man out immediately!”
The guards staring blankly at the scene where their superior, Eggma, is literally being assaulted by the great nobles of the kingdom, whom he dared not even look at.
He was stunned again when suddenly the Earl of Fremont threatened to eat him.
“Guide me outside! Drive me politely to my carriage. Got it?!”
It was the first time I had ever seen a noble noble scream so excitedly.
The guard barely came to his senses and nodded to Earl Fremont’s admiration.
Then, unlike when he brought him, he guided the man very politely and carefully, and took him outside.
“Ph, Count Fremont.”
At this time, Eggma, who barely got up, opened his mouth.
“Why the hell are you doing that? Who the hell is that commoner…”
“This is why bastards without blood on their heads! You fucking bastards!!”
The Earl of Fremont rushes as if he would tear the blue youngster right in front of his eyes.
He opened his eyes and punched Eggma’s chest with his fist.
“Your life is over, you bastard. One commoner? To your eyes, did that man appear to be nothing but a commoner?! Did you carry your ears as decorations?! Even if you’ve never seen it, you shouldn’t have at least thought about the possibility!!”
“Sin, sorry! Um, but I can’t quite understand what you’re talking about…”
Earl Fremont was genuinely enraged by Eggma’s words.
No matter how young they are, shouldn’t they know who they are?
Why were the commoners suddenly so arrogant?
Because they fought and won the Continental War? Is that really all?
No, absolutely not. I can’t.
The reason the commoners suddenly rose up was because one man showed potential.
“Listen up, you son of a bitch! You caught me, I tried to kill you with a whip! That man whom the immature nobles scolded! Former Southern Commander Klaus. The man whom the Marquis of Kienmeyer, who is said to be the first in the kingdom’s aristocracy with Grand Duke Joseph, made a lifelong friend! Even though more than 5 years have passed since the end of the war, those who still follow are men of heaven and earth! You worm bastard!”
* * * * * * * * * *
Klaus, sitting inside the carriage, giggled and enjoyed the situation.
It’s fun to do it with my own hands, of course, but borrowing someone else’s hands like this is also a lot of fun.
Above all, when it comes to the Earl of Fremont, it’s a bit less than the Marquis of Kienmeyer, but as a member of a great aristocratic family, its power is quite strong.
He is a person that cannot be compared with the two kids whose names he did not know before, or the captain of the guard who is half-noble.
‘Those who are always immature and only like to show off are bound to be scoured early.’
More than five years have passed since the Continental War ended.
And since the Continental War broke out 7 years ago, there was a period of 12 years at the longest and more than 6 years at the shortest, and those bugs that had just reached adulthood were little kids around the age of 10 at the time.
They must have had little interest in Klaus’s reputation since they were always obsessed with privilege.
Since they were children with no reason to experience war, they had never seen Klaus before.
That’s exactly what Klaus was looking for on purpose.
They are the new generation who do not know themselves well in the first place.
And unless you put on glasses, changed your hair style, and even turned the atmosphere upside down, you couldn’t figure out who you were until you looked closely.
In the case of the Earl of Fremont, at least, he had known each other with the Marquis of Kienmeyer, and as a bonus, he had seen Klaus up close a few times, so he recognized it right away.
‘I’m sorry to mess with Kienmeyer again to deal with these bugs.’
That the two bugs had an accident just today, that the new chief of the guard was a privileged half-noble, and that the Earl of Fremont would come just to meet him.
After going through dozens of experiences, Klaus was memorizing it with his head and body.
Soon the Earl of Fremont will come, who has very neatly messed with Eggma or whatever.
After that, I will take the female waitress at the pony inn and find the two immature kids who are making all sorts of jokes and clean them up.
‘Why is the Earl of Fremont so passionate? Because you’re my fan? No. He is rather a man who would side with the nobles rather than the commoners. He’s the kind that can be used but can’t be trusted.’
Then why did Count Fremont go mad and grind Eggma?
The reason is very simple, because his estate is right next to the Marquis of Kienmeyer.
He is said to be a great noble himself, but he was incomparable to the Marquis of Kienmeyer.
He is a person who took an active part in the war and is also a meritorious person who won the victory.
Above all, he has a good reputation among commoners because he has made a close friendship with himself.
If you’re in a neighbor-cousin relationship with such a man, and something unpleasant happens, who will be the one to lose?
Klaus laughed and waited for Count Fremont.
In fact, it can be said that this is only the prologue level of the novel.
Because he didn’t want to kill just a few nobles.
The reason he came here and did this was to establish contact with one faction.
‘The red tarantula.’
She is a woman called Jenny, a female employee who is just pretty on the outside and seems to be doing her job well.
She was like the key to the secret door to Klaus.
