Intentions
The Claude Family is very famous in the Stohess District, but what makes them famous is rather unique. Just how unique?
Just like the nickname of Earl Yoko Claude, the head of the Claude Family, "Pig Earl, "the Claude Family is famous because its main business is pig farming.
Claude pork is famous in the Stohess District and even has a considerable reputation in the Capital. However, for other Nobility who consider themselves noble, the Claude Family is simply a disgrace to the Nobility world. Almost all Nobility are ashamed to have anything to do with the Claude Family.
However, the Nobility forgot that the Claude Family was once a prominent family that specialized in training warriors for the Royal Family.
And so, Yago coldly watched as the obese Earl Claude viciously kicked President Zackly in the stomach.
"Pah! Zackly, you've finally met your match? Do you remember how you humiliated me five years ago? You damn bastard!" Claude finished speaking and then viciously kicked him a few more times.
Perhaps because he was too fat, Claude was already panting heavily after just a few kicks.
"Heh, I didn't expect that, Pig Earl, you've been hiding your true colors. I really misjudged you back then. So you're not a brainless fool with nothing but lard in your head after all," President Zackly mocked, despite having been struck several times on the face with the Zackly and covered in blood.
"Damn it! A-Four! Give him a good beating!" Claude roared in fury, ordering one of his men in black to step forward. A masked man in black approached President Zackly and began to beat him mercilessly.
With a heavy blow, Zackly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
By this time, everyone else had also regained consciousness.
Historia stared wide-eyed at the bloody scene before her.
Upon seeing Historia awaken, Claude's face immediately broke into a wide smile, his wrinkles deepening with each passing moment.
"My Her Majesty the Queen, you're awake? It's my honor, Your Majesty. Please allow me to introduce myself." Claude's tone suddenly became proud, with a hint of flattery.
"Our Claude Family are the most loyal guards of the Royal Family. Since our ancestors, we have been determined to train the most elite, loyal, and brave warriors for the Royal Family! Your Majesty, look!" Claude pointed to the man in black behind him.
"They are the warriors our family trains for the Royal Family, warriors that only the Claude Family can train— the Ackerman Warrior!"
After saying this, Claude looked at Historia and said, "Your Majesty, I hope you understand our loyalty."
"Hey, fatso, who would believe that? Is that how you show loyalty? Are you just kidnapping your Queen to prove your loyalty?" Yago, unable to bear Claude's disgusting and pretentious behavior any longer, bluntly exposed Claude's hypocrisy.
A Black Thread appeared on Claude's face, and a hint of violence flashed in his eyes.
But Claude forced a smile and said to Historia, "Your Majesty, please believe me, I am absolutely loyal to the Royal Family!"
Historia was speechless; with her mouth stuffed with the ball, Historia couldn't speak at all.
"Really? Then why don't you take your warriors to help Rod Reiss? He's Royal Family too. Look at your hypocritical face, you must have something to hide." Yago continued to retort rudely.
Claude suddenly turned his head, his small eyes on his chubby face glaring angrily at Yago.
Yago glared back without hesitation, his fingernails already touching his palm. If he were to turn hostile, Yago wouldn't be afraid of anyone present.
Although Claude had just said that the men in black were Ackerman, which explained their Ackerman skills, it still made sense. However, without the Titan's Omni-Directional Mobility Gear and two swords, and only wielding Dagger, Ackerman would be no match for even Yago Levi Captain.
But Claude muttered a few words, then turned and said, "Your Majesty, the Claude Family and your warriors will be your strongest shield and sharpest sword. Of course, our family has only a few needs. As Queen, you naturally need a husband and offspring, and my son is an excellent candidate."
"Cough cough, that's hilarious! Your idiot son? A moron who can't even tell the difference between bread and bricks? Hahaha, your son inherited your looks and the brains of the pigs you raised!" President Zackly laughed loudly, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Historia turned pale with fright upon hearing this news.
Claude's face was grim.
He walked up to Mikasa, who was tied up, and reached out to pinch her Mikasa.
Eren, who was tightly bound, saw Claude touch Mikasa and immediately began to struggle violently.
Claude glanced at the struggling Eren and smiled coldly, "The power of the Royal Family will naturally be left to my grandson. Heh, Her Majesty the Queen will be with my son."
After saying that, Claude scrutinized Mikasa's face again, Mikasa glared at him coldly.
"Ackerman who has awakened on his own? Tsk tsk tsk, not easy to train back. But it's good, at least the source of Ackerman seeds for the future can be solved."
Before she could finish speaking, Mikasa suddenly jerked her head up and slammed it hard into Claude's nose.
"Ah!" Claude screamed as he clutched his bleeding nose.
"Damn it!" Enraged, Claude immediately raised his cane, just as it was about to strike.
A Guard carrying Flintlock rushed into the cell in a panic.
"Master! Master! Something terrible has happened! The Military Police and Garrison Soldiers have surrounded our manor!"
"What? So fast? How did they find out about me?" Claude was utterly astonished, then seemed to realize something.
Turning around angrily, he swung his cane down, striking the young girl Ackerman squarely on the head.
"You idiot! The discarded mask exposed my family! You piece of trash!" Claude roared in fury.
"A-Two, A-Three, A-Four, you go hold off the Soldiers. A-Yi, you idiot, and A-Wu, come with me and gather the men to retreat through the tunnel." Claude gave the order decisively. He had no intention of staying here to wait for the Soldiers to capture him; the cunning Claude had already arranged an escape route.
