"Y- you..."
Just as I recognized Ethan Klus at once, he saw my true identity, whose hair color had changed, at once.
"You're the girl...!"
My whole body stiffened and didn't move.
I wanted to hide behind Perez's back again, but it didn't go my way.
All of a sudden, Klus got on his back, where some of Sushou's soldiers were, and were trying to tie his hands and feet with a rope.
But, as if he didn't care about such things, his burning gaze was only directed at me.
"Hheu, heh..."
And Ethan Klus began to laugh.
Like the one who had lost everything saw a ray of light before his eyes.
Both corners of his mouth sprang up, and dark blood vein stood on his forehead.
"Hahaha".
The soldiers frowned at the behavior of the wanted man, who suddenly began to laugh.
"Why is this guy?"
"I don't know, he must have gone crazy thinking it's over now. Yes, tie it well......"
"Gahh!"
Ethan Klus got up from his seat, twisting his whole body with a scream.
The rope that bound Klus' hands and feet, which had been there a while ago, was broken in vain, and the soldiers surrounding him fell like fallen leaves.
Ethan Klus, who was freed, rushed towards me, crawling on all fours.
"I will kill you!"
With a bloody scream, his hands covered with wounds reached out toward me.
As if he was going to strangle me with his bare hands because he had no weapon.
However, his body, exhausted from his long escape life, was not completely healed.
To the point where his splendid career of being the commander of the knight of Angenas was overshadowed.
He was just ahead of his life trying to kill me.
"How dare you." (TN: How dare you!)
Perez moved with a low voice.
He naturally reached out and pulled out a soldier's sword that was checking his ID card, and rolled it once in his big hand as if it were his own.
And he drew it up like he was swinging it.
No, I thought so.
At that moment, all I could see was Perez's large hand that covered my eyes.
"Arghh!"
Ethan Klus' screams seemed to be heard from a very distance.
Soon, the sound of the soldiers, who had been observing the situation in a daze, rumbled, mixed with the screams of evil.
"That bitch! I have to kill that girl...! Let go of this!"
But even that sound faded away at some point.
Clang.
Perez threw the sword he was holding randomly on the floor and stood in front of me.
Then his big hands covered my ear.
Ethan Klus's scream became smaller.
The chaos on the deck has also faded away.
Until everything subsided, the warmth that touched my ear and Perez's red eyes protected my world.
