Henrick a.k.a Gilgamesh, the Undead

Ayensi's confidence came back, letting him come back to the state of calculative and seriousness was when he had his post-nut clarity.

It was as if the birth of the universe was documented in his head and was voiced by Morgan Freeman. The serenity of life and death, the reality behind lies, and the truth that everyone seeks.

'I feel enlightened.'

Spirit knocked on the door again.

"Umm... Master, the ride is here."

She didn't want to interrupt them but she also needs to inform him, thus, her hesitation.

But the door opened, suggesting that she had the right decision.

"Lead us to them." Ayensi said as if nothing happened.

"Yes, Master."

Before Spirit turned around, she caught a glimpse of the Celestial of Highest.

While Ayensi was in a state of clarity, Shiena had no thoughts at all. In other words, she looked dumb and stupid with her carefree look. It was as if she was a little innocent child.

Her cartoonish eyes gazed at Ayensi and for the first time, she thought.

'... ah...'

She then blushed, having her own world.

Even when they arrived outside and saw two huge carriages waiting for them.

About ten or so were waiting around the carriage while some inside them. At this point, Spirit disguised herself as a maid in the palace.

Only Ayensi could see her guise. Even if it's abrupt, there was no way these normal people could see through the Guardian of Spirit's illusions.

"Eh? Who's this new maid?" Shiena asked after seeing Spirit.

This Celestial of Highest could easily see through Spirit's guise... if only her mind was with her.

"This way, Master. The second carriage is for you." she said.

After she said so, a man approached her, making her noticed the mistake she made.

"Hello, angel, aren't you too good to be working as a maid? I know it's the palace but how about my bed?"

"Master, do you need anything else?" Spirit ignored the handsome lad trying to pick her up at the very moment she arrived.

Ayensi then entered the carriage without any care and with gallant while the child-like Shiena mindlessly followed him.

"Oh, tough crowd, huh? I like it. I like reserved girls more than the loose one."

The handsome lad waved his long hair, glittering under the soft sunlight.

But Spirit didn't even bat an eye as she looked around to see the participants this year.

"Ahh~~ I like this play too. I know you're doing this on purpose, little angel."

"Henrick?"

The handsome lad who was weirding everyone out, Henrick, turned around to see who called him.

"... Anya?"

Like a giant predator, the female Imperial Knight intimidated Henrick by just her presence alone.

"What are you doing here?" her cape heroically fluttered, making her valiant, ready to purge the weirdoes like Henrick.

Henrick began to sweat bullets.

"I... Justin recommended me to come." his voice quivered at the end, making the others he was weirding out earlier had satisfied faces.

"You two are really friends, huh..."

"Y-yeah..."

"..."

"S-so... do you need anything?" Henrick's eyes went everywhere except look at Anya's eyes.

"Nothing, how about you? Do you need anything?"

"Nothing... hehe... just mastering a certain Imperial Knight taught me."

"And that is?"

At this point, Henrick was pressured so much so that he exploded.

"Hmph! E-even if I told you, you wouldn't understand the art of picking up girls! From primitive times, men are always fighting over women. Getting a beautiful woman with great child-bearing hips is an achievement to every man!"

"Oh..."

Anya's image turned from a predator to a demon.

Meanwhile, all the men that heard this secretly agreed.

Henrick trembled and gulped.

"I-if you really want to know, then talk to this little angel! I'm sure she had already fallen for my... impressive~ skill--s."

Both Anya and Henrick looked at the maid.

Spirit, who had been attending all Ayensi, didn't quite follow what they were talking about.

When she noticed them expecting something from her, she just said the first thing that came out of her mind.

"Disgusting..."

Henrick saw the deepest and darkest abyss within Spirit's eyes.

Anya raised an eyebrow, 'She's good. Why do I not know this maid until now?'

'Why are women all scary...? Justin is really impressive for being successful.'

"A very impressive technique, my dear little brother."

Anya sarcastically complimented.

"Ugh...!" although in pain, this didn't break Henrick's spirit.

"Someday... someday, I will get a woman and make everyone saying that I'm too feminine to get a girl realize that they're wrong! Completely wrong!"

"Hey! The second carriage was stolen!"

Tears were about to come out of Henrick's eyes as he said, "I'm manly enough! Stu~pid!"

Anya's demeanor softened after hearing this, 'I guess it's our fault for teasing him too much when he was just a kid.'

"Someday, I will be as good as Justin. He's a friend but also a master to me. Heh! You talk big, Anya, but Justin always says that you are hopeless without him and that you have the loudest mo- ack!"

Henrick's words were interrupted when a sword pierced through his stomach.

"What lies did Justin tell you?"

"Eek!"

"Listen to me, the second carriage is stolen by the maid!"

Even though he had a sword through his stomach, shocking everyone there, Henrick wasn't reacting that much.

"Lies...? Anya... eh... Big Sister Anya, can you please remove your weapon. Even if I won't die, it still hurts..."

From his words, one of the spectators to this scene screamed and pointed.

"It's Gilgamesh, the Undead!"

"You're right! It is him! I thought he looked familiar, but because he was called Henrick, I didn't think he would be the famous Gilgamesh!"

"And here I thought, he was just a weird guy..."

"The second carriage! Why is no one listening to me?!"

The participant's interest skyrocketed when they realized Gilgamesh, said to be immortal, living in the Mealma Empire is there!

Henrick snickered, hearing his stage title impress people.

"Yeah, Gilgamesh is said to be girly."

"Why didn't we realize sooner?"

"Also, because he can't die, he lacks common sense."

"That seemed true. His pretty looks are wasted on him."

A nerve popped from Henrick's forehead.

"I am not pretty!- Ouch!"

Anya took out her sword from Henrick before looking behind the participants and asked.

"Huh? Where's the other carriage?"

At that moment, the coachman shouted.

"Finally, someone noticed! it was stolen by that maid earlier!"

Anya expression changed and with a blow of dust, she disappeared.

'Kidnapping!? So that's why I don't recognize that maid! That should also explain her attentiveness to Yensi! This is bad, Ayensi didn't have any offensive capabilities!'

Meanwhile, out in the far distance, Spirit was coaching the horses that pulled the carriage. Not to make her master bored, she used spirit energy to speed up the ride.

Inside, Ayensi looked out at the window and whispered.

"Finally, some peace and quiet."
