Chapter 90: The Tin Knight and The City of Struggle (9)
[The ‘Tin Knight’ cheers, asking if this was a hidden battle event disguised as a junk-tier shop!]
Unlike Dorothea and Adelaide, Franka couldn’t directly hear the Tin Knight’s crazy words.
But humans had an instinctive ability to sense danger, seeing the Tin Knight with his suspiciously bright blue eyes, Franka let out a scream, “Eek! W-wait! Why? I did everything you said! Paid the compensation, took all the blame for your crimes! And now you’re saying you’re going to kill me!? You vicious witch!”
“I won’t deny being vicious or a witch, but I don’t want to hear that from you.”
Dorothea was dumbfounded, thinking how this woman who had attempted assassination at their first meeting had the nerve to say such things.
After subduing the Tin Knight by hitting the back of his head with her staff, she looked around the shop and said, “...You, are you out of money? Did I extort too much?”
At that gaze and tone that seemed subtly pitying, Franka’s face instantly turned red, “Do you think I’m stuck here trying to make money!? The money I handed over to you is just a drop in the bucket compared to my wealth!”
“Then why are you doing this here?”
“You know exactly who’s to blame for this...!”
Franka gritted her teeth but couldn’t bring herself to pounce on Dorothea.
Having made a Blood Oath, she couldn’t take hostile actions against Dorothea’s party unless they attacked first. The moment she violated the oath, Franka Aglaia would become Franka Croakia.
