I slowly walk inside the room as the people and guests that were still alive and conscious looked at with various emotions. They were giving this stares as if I had the answer to their worry.
I don't know what question they specifically had in mind but I answered the most effective one.
"The leader of the thugs is dead!"
"..."
"YEAHHH!"
It took a mont before the realization set in and everyone inside the room scread out in joy. Everyone, even the waiters and other workers jumped up in joy and so even cried.
For those that cried, they weren't only crying out in joy but in pain too. Because today not only have they encountered a life ending event that they painfully survived, but there were so that died.
So were friends that they had, so that they had known for years, now suddenly are no longer in this world. Even though surviving made them pray in grace towards their gods, it brought in much more fear of reality.
But that was only the boring part.
"Sir, can I know your na?" A random guy ca and asked .
"It's Henry, Henry Van Tax."
The random guy smiled and turned back towards others and scread, "This is the man that has saved us all today. This is the man that has defeated the endless hordes of thugs."
He turned to look at with devotion, "This is the man that defeated the thug leader and defeated him all by himself."
Wellll… that wasn't the complete truth, but the guy looked at with such respect that I really couldn't tell him the awful truth. Not like it's gonna matter anyway, the only help I got from Arthur was a sword attack which I could've toppled if I wanted to.
"Hail, Henry Van Tax, the guy that saved us all." The guy rounded up everyone, "Co on, say it with ."
"Hail, Henry."
"HAIL HENRY!"
"HAIL HENRY!"
"HAIL HENRY!"
A few rounds of that large applause went on for a while as I went a bit dizzy. I didn't think that their words would actually make feel like this but it was quite great.
I understand why so heroes choose fa over money. It was better to have blind devotion than one that is bought. One has an expiry date and one doesn't.
I put up a hand and the roaring quits down slowly as I prepare my speech.
"COUGH COUGH!"
"I know that today has been a very hard day for everyone in the party. I am talking about both the guests and the workers," I said pointing to the bystanders in corners, "All of us has went through the sa hardship, regardless of our blood and rank."
So nobles scorned in anger and I pointed out, "I know that so of you think of my words as idiotic or even ridiculous but rember, if it weren't for so of these people, many of you wouldn't have been able to survive tonight."
"So of you might have been in a situation where a help from a waiter stopped you from getting hard and so of you were in a situation where said workers saved your lives."
"So I want you to look at them in a new light, one that is bright and approaching. I hope that you could help them out as most of them may not have the money to get cured."
The workers who listened to my bullshit, felt touched by it and so even cried. I sweat I had to try very hard to not just burst out in loud laughter.
"Unfortunately, not all of them had survived this ss and for those that didn't, those that had a family that they reluctantly left behind, I will be giving each of them 100 pounds."
Murmurs of shock rang out among both the nobles and the workers.
"And for those that had serious injury, I will pay them full for those injuries."
What I was doing was kinda ridiculous, not because of the huge amounts of money that I was literally giving away, but because I was giving money away to commoners that dealt with such injury in their daily lives.
You might be wondering why I am doing such a thing. Well, there are two reason.
First, I was soone who was previously born in a normal middle class family and knew how hard it was to get paid for insurance because your company had a fucking robbery gone wrong. So with that in mind I decided to help them a bit.
Secondly… it was obvious, right. I was making a good impression. I had to do sothing about my reputation that had been sared in the dirt by the previous user.
A thought went through a few days ago. A palace filled with people that was suddenly attacked by thugs… what better way to make my reputation sky high than saving this fools and having them sing my tale… not to that extent but you get it.
So when I finally see the end results of them cheering , I went a bit further and used the humanitarian route to get better points. As a result…
"To think that Henry was such a man… I was soo mistaken from the start." A person my age said.
"He has always been like that, it's just us that didn't see the man that he is."
"Yes… I can see how beautiful, sexy and ravenous he is."
"Yea-" The male round stopped talking as they glanced at the group of won that was looking at with terrifying eyes. Terrifying to because this was the sa group of won that tried to shoo out when I went to get Arthur.
I felt disturbed at their sudden change but inside, I was quite giddy.
...
After a few more rounds of hooray for , I left seeing that all the important characters were busy doing sothing.
I whistled while walking through the hallway in the hotel. I kept whistling until I ca upon my door and opened it.
"Anna I'm back-"
The words didn't leave from my mouth fully as I felt two huge and squishy things rub .
