Bab 127: Moose Tracks

"And why would 'travelers' help you? Let me guess: you waved the gate fee, didn't you?! Lieutenant Tanner will have your hide when I tell him, haha!" the lad in the armor jeered.

"Come on, Klaus! I didn't wave the fee! They don't-" Ronnie was going to continue, but stopped when he realized he'd be busting out the prince if he said anything.

"T-They don't need to pay because they did this mornin!" Ronnie declared, proud of his own quick thinking.

" Lieutenant Tanner was the one at this gate this morning.. Want me to go ask him to come for verification? He'll be pissed if you're caught in a lie," Klaus baited him.

Ronnie thought for a moment before shaking his head in the positive. Even if the jerk did go get the lieutenant, Prince Tidas was here. He would back him, and hopefully get Klaus in trouble too. But all the same; he was still hoping Klaus would back down.
