Alaric had just saved these villagers.
Yes.
But in return, what did he get?
Being looked at with disgust by the very people The King had saved.
"You bastard, why are you so late?!"
"Do you know how many people have died?"
"If you had come earlier, things wouldn't have turned out like this!"
Being cursed at by them, just because… he was late?
Not a single compliment, not a single thank you, not a single reward, nothing.
"…Huh?"
Facing the uncontrollable anger of the villagers, Alaric just stood there, not knowing how to react.
Everything was really… unbelievable.
Whether it was in his previous life or in this life, he had never faced something as unreasonable as this.
"…Why is everyone… reacting like this?"
His eyes glanced at all the people gathered around.
Not a single person was not angry.
Not even a child, nor an old person.
"Didn't I… just save everyone?"
"Get out of here, you piece of shit!"
"Go away and never come back!"
No one answered The King's question.
