Gilgamesh Understands

This is how, even though the Greyrat family does not have a continuous presence in the city of Roa of Fittoa, they are all well-respected by the citizens living here. If anyone dared to intimidate Miss Eris, her grandfather's fury would make those responsible beg for mercy. 

The woman who accompanies Eris wherever she goes is a Sword Queen herself. Who in their right mind would dare to say anything to that girl? Even though Gilgamesh was the fourth prince, this girl might even dare to strike him. It's a good thing that someone like him knew how to handle the situation very well, and moreover, he understood all the circumstances to avoid unnecessary scandals. 

If he ruined his first relationship with this girl named Eris now, his plan to slowly crush his brother's faction would possibly fail. In such a case, if that situation were to develop, he would have to resort to more violent methods when the nobility fought for the Asura Kingdom's throne. 

Right now, Eris had calmed down a lot, and the initial anger she felt from overhearing her father's conversation with her grandfather had passed. She was now having a lot of fun seeing many things she had never seen before. 

Gilgamesh might be tolerant right now, but if someone tried to be clever and bother him, he would crush them with one hand and vent all his stress. There are times when women, regardless of their age, can be true dragons. 

And now, that princess from the Greyrat family was in an illegal gambling den. 

"Well, I couldn't refuse to bring someone my age to this place, although I insist I'd prefer not to bring anyone else..." Gilgamesh looked at Elijah, who looked pale, and gave him a serious look. "Behave yourself; we're about to make some money." 

"What are you talking about?" Elijah had lost half of his soul on the way to this place, and if he didn't die at the hands of the Greyrat family, he would die at the hands of the owners of this place. 

After saying that, Gilgamesh's eyes turned to the left to look at Eris, who had just treated him in a way that even someone like his mother had never done. That feeling, that sensation it generated within Gilgamesh, was something he liked, but was that normal? Perhaps living lives in different worlds had evolved his tastes, but he sincerely hoped not to be a masochist. 

Gilgamesh perfectly understood what poor Elijah was going through; this man thought that bringing a noblewoman here was an incredible tragedy. Giving him an apologetic look, what could he do about it? If you have any complaints, dare to take her out of this place. 

"What's going on? Aren't you going to welcome me, or maybe you think I, Eris Greyrat, don't have money?" Eris stared at them, pulled out a frog-shaped purse, and waved it arrogantly to show everyone that she had money. "I, Eris, have plenty of money to bet!" 

The groups of drunks and libertines hastily drank their beer, almost choking on their pants. Each and every one of them thought, "So, you have a lot of money? But the problem would be... Who the hell would dare to win that money from you in games? Whoever dares to win against you would probably get a visit from your grandfather or the beastly woman behind you. And that's the best-case scenario; if your own grandfather is very angry, he might come personally and hang us all." 

But Elijah, on the other hand, smiled cunningly. From what he saw, Gilgamesh seemed to know who Eris Notos Greyrat was and understood nobility perfectly, as he was dressed in clothes that only a wealthy noble could have. In that case, perhaps the young man he brought for betting and playing was someone of a high status on par with the Greyrats. 

Elijah chose his side and said, "Enough with the games. This young man by my side came to gamble big and take all your money in a few games. He's willing to bet amounts that only you would see in your damn wet dreams. Don't hide, come out. He's talking about millions; if no one has that amount, it's better not to dare to play with him, you damn pagans. Those who can't accept defeat and draw their swords even when they've lost everything, aren't even worthy to stand before him." 

Listening to Elijah's final words, even someone as calm and composed as Gilgamesh almost turned around and walked out the way he came in. "Are you really so wise as to give me such praise that not even in my previous life did anyone bestow upon me? Please, don't tarnish my image with those ridiculous speeches straight out of a grandeur-seeking novel." 

In the inner courtyard, there was a massive table sunk in the center, and there sat various young heirs of merchants along with some very wealthy adventurers who remained calm. One of the standout individuals was an arrogant boy named Gild. He was the son of a rather prominent merchant family in the Asura Kingdom and happened to be passing through this place while traveling throughout the kingdom. 

Right beside him was his friend from the Zephirus family, accompanying them on this long journey. The two of them were trailed by their guards, who never left their sides to ensure their protection. Gild, who had a slender appearance and wore fine clothing, stood out the most. His face displayed a pair of deep-set eyes, and he always acted like a high-ranking person, claiming to be on par even with the princes, according to his boastful words. 

Of course, Gilgamesh had seen men with much more money who confused wealth with power. Those two terms were very different in life, and unfortunately, people could only understand that when they were being killed by a powerful vagabond. 

Gild was surprised to see Eris, someone who was impossible to find here, so he smiled and said, "For someone like Miss Greyrat to decide to visit this place, it's a great disrespect not to give her a warm welcome. Serve Lady Greyrat, and if she's dissatisfied, everyone will pay with their lives!" 

After saying this, he turned his head to Gilgamesh and said, "Since you're eager to gamble, I hope you don't cry over losing your little fortune. We don't usually wipe people's tears; they are beaten out of this place." 

"Wise words, I hope that when I leave you penniless, you won't shed a single tear, or I'll end up slitting your throat, the same goes for all the swine accompanying you," Gilgamesh said without even giving a second glance to that foolish young man who lived under his family's wing. 

"How dare you say those words?!" shouted the young man from the Zephirus family, ready to draw his sword and start a fight. 

But Gild, standing beside him, immediately intervened: "We are in the presence of Eris Notos Greyrat; behave like a gentleman, not like an ape."
