"No! Sir! Lady Dietlinde instructed us not to see anyone today!" Despite having only two employees responsible for guarding the inn, they were working hard to block the staircase, refusing to let Aik go up.
"My friend's injuries are critical, please do me this favor, thank you!" Aik was evidently anxious, forcibly trying to rush upstairs.
The Paladins in the hall, the travelers, and Laine were all dumbfounded, wondering what kind of situation this was.
A bit spectacular huh~ Laine still wanted to watch the show, but seeing Aik unable to get upstairs no matter what, he suddenly drew his longsword: "Then I must apologize!"
The response was the sound of drawing swords from a group of people.
The situation didn't develop as Aik had hoped; the result of attempting to intimidate with force was that all the Paladins sitting in the hall drew their swords. The justice-minded Paladins would never just sit there watching a Wandering Knight misuse force.
