However his thoughts were so clouded with blind arrogance that he hadn't paid the slightest bit of attention, so he couldn't figure out who must have called him a 'Pipsqueak'. Looking annoyed and more than a little indignant the boy narrowed his eyes as he regarded those around him, to them he must be just an annoying little brat and to him they were simply insolent fools but somewhere deep within his conscience Laharl just wanted to feel useful and well liked except his upbringing had made him self-important yet also less confident in himself. Therefore all the boy wanted was to be praised, it was hard to be an Overlord especially now since he had nothing to rule and nobody to turn to for support. Without anything how could he possibly be useful? He couldn't even impress the people he momentarily assisted in combat. It seemed that the dust had finally settled and slowly the settlements inhabitants came to congratulate their saviors for vanquishing both Goliaths. Laharl would have gladly stayed behind to accept the attention as the village savior, but he wasn't comfortable with the amount of positivity being expressed [color=A30000]"Disgusting."[/color] the boy grimaced looking slightly uncomfortable, Laharl quickly backed away from the group [color=A30000]"Stupid kindness."[/color] with a pained look he retreated within the ruined house he had awoken in.
