Chapter 94 – Chapter 7 – The Red Tarantula
As Klaus takes a step forward, Jenny takes a step back.
I take another step, and this time I take twice as many steps back and hit the wall.
She had very pitiful eyes, as if asking herself what the hell she was doing.
As if she was about to be roughed up by the nobles, but they saved her and asked why she was doing this again.
She probably would have backed off at this point if the other person had been an ignorant person.
Right away, that woman was almost raped by nobles, so she couldn’t even properly adjust her clothes.
It’s embarrassing just to expose all your bare skin in front of a guy you’re seeing for the first time.
She even asked strange questions and pushed me, so I felt like I was about to burst into tears.
‘It’s like a red poisonous spider. I’m very good at deceiving people.’
Perhaps if there were any acting awards in this world, at least the rookie award would have been something worth looking forward to.
Look at that pitiful expression, what man could not fall for it.
In addition, her clothes were all undone, and she almost suffered rough treatment from the nobles right before.
Literally, even the situation and the picture could be said to be very perfect.
But to Klaus, it wasn’t even worth half a penny.
I already know who this woman is and where she belongs.
No matter how much you try to pull it off, there is a fact you already know, so you can’t shake it off.
“What is your name?”
“It’s Jenny.”
“Yes, Jenny. Nice to meet you Won’t you introduce me Because Jenny already knows who I am. Yes?”
“I know you are the one who saved me.”
“Not that. You must know more.”
When Klaus pressured her, Jenny responded by saying she didn’t know why.
He keeps asking why he is doing this and asking if he wants a reward.
But the man in front of me just smiled and kept asking the same question.
Doesn’t he know himself?
“One last question, Jenny. Who am I?”
“Mo, I don’t know! Why are you like that! Why the hell…”
Shiiik!-
At that moment, Klaus’s hand moved quickly and something flew away with a flash of anticipation.
Teouk!-
A single dagger stuck right into the wall of the inn.
The dagger that passed by as if it was touching Jenny’s cheek vibrated.
If the place the dagger had hit was not a wall, but a human head, it would have been quite worth seeing.
“…”
What happened really quickly.
Jenny looked at the dagger stuck behind her and slowly turned her head.
All that pitiful energy from a while ago suddenly disappeared, and the only thing that stayed inside was my wariness toward the man standing in front of me.
“I dodged it.”
“…”
“A female employee behaves like that. They are much better than most soldiers.”
“…”
“Don’t even think about taking it anymore. Next time, not a dagger, but magic power.”
At Klaus’ words, Jenny looked at him for a moment longer and sighed.
Suddenly, the woman muttered in a low voice, “What’s going on now?” After checking to make sure the door to her room was closed, she carefully opened her mouth.
“How did you know, Klaus-sama?”
“What. About the red tarantula? Or about your identity.”
“It is both. It would be nice if you could give me an answer. That way, I can at least guide you to where you want to go.”
“What if you don’t answer?”
“It’s okay if I just kill myself right here. I will not reveal information, and Klaus-sama will not get what he wants, and he may even be suspected of trying to rape a woman.”
Then, Klaus laughs and says “Puha”.
It was also a reaction worthy of a member of the red tarantula.
Even if he tried, he would only be a member, but he looked so confident.
This made him have no choice but to trust the red tarantula all the more.
“It’s great too. It’s like a red tarantula. Angelica raised her very well.”
At the word Angelica, Jenny’s face distorted once again, but she returned to normal.
The name of the leader, known not only to outsiders, but also to a few inside the Red Dolphin.
How on earth does that man know!
“I asked how you know about the red tarantula. How could I be unaware of the circumstances of the kingdom? Even the aristocrats don’t only look at the prominent ones, and most of the people who follow me are commoners, so I have no choice but to get news.”
“…”
“How else did you know you were a member of the Red Tarantula? I don’t get calluses on my hands simply by working at a bar. Those are the hands of those who handle the ‘weapon’. In particular, those who hold the dagger in reverse tend to have that hand shape.”
Jenny looked down at her hands as she drool.
It never occurred to him that he could make predictions about the amount of calluses or the shape of his hand.
It could have been a bit of an exaggeration, but the problem is that the opponent is a man named Klaus.
As a human being in the kingdom, how could he not know his name?
When the man said that, Jenny felt a little intimidated without even realizing it.
Of course, from Klaus’ point of view, he knew the answer in the first place, so it was just a reason for putting it roughly.
My name and reputation will be firmly supported, and I know all of my identity, so if I make up a few words, the other person will have no choice but to accept it.
“I’d like to go into more detail, but any more than this is a bit difficult. At this point, I think you might be able to guide me to your hideout.”
“… Why did you come to us?”
“I don’t see the need to explain that far, do you?”
He was smiling, but never genuinely smiling.
If you give me this much answer, it means that you should be satisfied and stop.
It meant to get out of here and not mess around.
“…”
Jenny was still looking at Klaus with a wary expression.
However, in a situation where his identity has already been revealed, and even the name of the leader has been revealed.
It was foolish to pretend not to know, or to step back saying it couldn’t be.
Jenny thought that the best way would be to guide them to the hideout as he wanted and then have them meet with their leader.
Rattle-.
After thinking and coming to a conclusion, Jenny pulled out the dagger from the wall.
Then he took a look at the dagger and opened his mouth.
“It is a very good dagger.”
“It is one of the spoils taken from the demons. The demons are the best at making weapons.”
“Yes. If so, can I have this dagger? Seeing how he blows it, it seems like he has at least a few more good daggers like this.”
“Do whatever you feel like. Instead, as long as you keep your promise not to use it in a strict place.”
It was a slightly twisted warning, telling him not to wield it against himself.
Quick-witted Jenny noticed what that meant and nodded her head, wondering if there was anything wrong with it.
With that conclusion, I leave the room with Jenny.
The inside of the inn was after another uproar, and if the two young nobles had been messing around a little while ago, this time, on the contrary, the two nobles were being brutally beaten.
“Your Excellency Count! Your Excellency, Earl of Fremont!”
“Please please!”
“I told you to shut up. I can’t believe that people like you are dreaming of a continental academy!”
Apparently, the Earl of Fremont was genuinely angry.
He seemed to think that it was because of these two that he came all this way and got involved with Klaus, that he had to notice the Marquis of Kienmeyer again, and that he was embarrassed by a commoner in front of his attendants.
“Just like this, go back to your respective territories and tell your fathers. Prepare for a land battle with the Counts of Fremont. Originally, since I caught you guys, I should have demanded a ransom, but with the words that I sent them back because of my special mercy!”
The Earl of Fremont’s terrifying cry sent the two nobles into contemplation.
Learman and Pio were really desperate to stop the Battle of the Territory.
Unlike their own families, which literally have a little influence in the province, the Counts of Fremont are a powerful noble family that is directly adjacent to the Marquis of Kienmeyer.
If there is a territory war, all other nobles who have had a friendly atmosphere so far, as well as the upper ranks and travelers looking for the territory will disappear, and all the enlisted soldiers may leave.
In this situation, there are probably three places that can stop the Fremont county.
It would be about the royal family, Grand Duke Joseph, and the Marquis of Kienmeyer.
This can also be stopped, but not to the extent that it can be forced to stop.
It’s just to the point of conveying the words ‘I want you to do it in moderation’ or something.
‘It’s a big deal! It’s a big deal!’
‘Ruined! It’s ruined!’
They were two young men who suddenly ruined their families very coolly.
They had to somehow calm down the Earl of Fremont’s anger, but they didn’t listen to them at all.
He only pressured me to look forward to it, saying that it would be a very interesting territory battle.
With her heart racing, Pio checked on the man and woman coming down to the first floor.
She is a woman, of course, the female employee they were trying to rape.
And the man who came out next to them was messing around without knowing what they were doing.
It turns out that Klaus was a hero of the Continental War and a friend of the Marquis of Kienmeyer.
In an instant, his head spun very quickly.
No matter how much you wish the Earl of Fremont wrong, it is useless.
Then why don’t you choose the opponent you want to attack again?
It seemed that if I corrected the object of my apology and received forgiveness, I would find a way to live.
“Me, over there!”
So, Pio grabbed him as soon as Klaus came down to the first floor.
Then she bowed her head in front of him and began to pray that she was wrong.
They said they had committed a great rudeness, so please forgive me just once.
Looking at that figure, she was the only one who couldn’t follow at first.
However, he was not completely ignorant, so he immediately recognized Pio’s intentions and opened his mouth together to ask for forgiveness.
“These…”
The Earl of Fremont responded that he was stunned, but he couldn’t come forward.
Klaus was looking down at the two with a rather interesting gaze.
“Two minutes.”
Klaus finally opened his mouth.
The voice was quite benevolent, so Learman and Pio involuntarily harbored hope.
The kind of hope that there might be a way out of this situation!
“You know how to apologize, not just fuck.”
Another word came out, that bastard.
Originally, they would have flashed right away, but this time neither of them did.
It was because they intuitively noticed that this man was holding the lifeline of their family and their family.
“I want to accept that apology.”
At Klaus’s answer, the two young men’s faces became bright.
Yeah I knew it would be like this It has to be like this!
No matter how much he is a war hero, isn’t it a glory of the past?
No matter how insignificant aristocrats they are, aren’t they ‘aristocrats’ after all?
Klaus would no longer want to cause friction with the nobles.
I know it’s tiring, so I’m sure it will!
The moment when Learman and Pio are just turning the happy circuit.
What Klaus said next shattered their expectations.
“By the way, why are you apologizing to me? Shouldn’t the apology go to the employee here, not me? How strange.”
In an instant, the faces of the two young men contorted.
Klaus even has the title of war hero, but isn’t that woman just a commoner?
To apologize even to an insignificant female employee? Themselves? Nobles?
Watching them hesitate, Klaus let out a laugh.
Why are they worried? Even if I apologize anyway, this place won’t accept it.
“Jennie. Are you willing to accept an apology from those two men?”
“Nope. Not at all.”
“That’s right. Count of Fremont. You do what you do.”
Klaus’s words brought a smile to the Count’s lips, and despair to the lips of the two worms.
