The Direction

"It's a bit of a distance, it would take several hours to go back and forth by carriage, do you really want to come?" Ghislaine, although she understood Gilgamesh, had few interactions with him, so with her limited social skills, she couldn't say much. 

Ghislaine didn't exactly see Gilgamesh as a child, but the more she understood him, the more mysterious he became. She was aware that after all the rumors about Gilgamesh and many of the things that were true about him, many had a mistaken idea of the true behavior of the Red Prince. 

Ghislaine's subconscious mind constantly scolded her for thinking she was talking to a child because she felt that Gilgamesh's wisdom was much deeper than that of most adults she had met. 

That's because... 

Gilgamesh is not exactly a child; every prince and princess of any kingdom must be smart enough not to die in the struggle for the throne. Not just as they grow up, but from childhood. If you're not careful, you'll end up dead. 

"Then I'll take you to that place; traveling by carriage is neither comfortable nor fast..." Gilgamesh snapped his fingers, and a huge golden ripple appeared beside him, revealing his ark for faster travel than he had in his position. 

This throne of Gilgamesh is a golden ark with an emerald color, one of his numerous high-tech Noble Phantasms from Hindu mythology that he had used before. 

This ark is powered by a solar crystal, rutilated quartz crystals, which burn mercury as fuel. It defies the laws of physics, traveling at the speed of thought, and can easily surpass speeds that no other aircraft or person can achieve. 

It has a pilot's throne that can be removed in emergency situations, and a control column, not used due to interference with the operation of the Gate of Babylon, which is placed directly in front. 

"Well, we'll arrive in a few minutes, so you wouldn't mind standing, right? It's not that I'm selfish, it's just that I need to control this thing." Gilgamesh climbed onto his golden ark. 

"What kind of thing is this?" Ghislaine got a little excited discovering this magical platform with qualities similar to the Dragon King's floating castle. 

"This is an ark we'll be using; its name is Vimana. Get on, and you'll see that we'll get to that place in no time." Gilgamesh started manipulating his Vimana while sitting on the throne, and a golden glow began to expand around it. 

"Well, it seems much more fun than traveling in a carriage." Ghislaine climbed onto the Vimana and walked up the steps to reach the side of the throne where Gilgamesh was sitting, so when she was ready, the Vimana floated higher and higher off the ground, even through the snow, and began to move at high speed. 

"By the way, what kind of instructor are they looking for Eris?" Gilgamesh became somewhat interested. For Ghislaine to personally seek one, it had to be someone significant. 

"It's just a favor that young Lord Philip is doing for his cousin. It turns out this got delayed due to certain political issues that you resolved when you showed up. If it weren't for that, perhaps that teacher, who is actually a child, would have arrived at the Greyrat mansion a year and a half ago." Ghislaine explained to Gilgamesh casually. 

When Gilgamesh heard the word "child," his curiosity was piqued, and the Vimana's speed increased. There was no issue with breathing difficulties because a shield prevented air from becoming a problem. 

"By the way, in which direction should I exactly head?" After a few minutes, Gilgamesh slowed down and his gaze settled on Ghislaine, who was seated beside the throne. 

"I didn't tell you, did I?" Ghislaine's face darkened due to her forgetfulness. She had been so impressed with the sensation of flying in the air that she had completely forgotten their destination. 

Gilgamesh, on the other hand, concealed his embarrassment as he had forgotten to ask because he was enjoying the opportunity to show off his Vimana to Ghislaine, who had many similarities to giant cats. 

After some complications, Gilgamesh understood the exact direction they needed to go, using his ability to see the past and determine their destination. If it weren't for the Vimana's speed, the journey would have taken just as long as traveling by carriage. 

Boom! 

The Vimana's speed increased as it advanced through the beautiful green landscape, free from any human marks. These remote areas of the kingdom were the best, not only offering a connection to nature but also endless tranquility. 

However, very few could afford to live here; not only was there a high presence of wild beasts, but they were also incredibly strong. Without being a knight, it would be challenging to live in these areas. Of course, while it might be appealing for Gilgamesh to live here, he preferred to reside in a beautiful castle built to his own specifications. 

As they emerged from the clouds, a stunning landscape slowly appeared, a sight that very few would have the opportunity to appreciate in their lifetime. According to Ghislaine, the chances of flying were few, if not non-existent, in this kingdom. Although there were platforms that flew in this realm, they were so difficult to find and access that it would be better to dismiss the idea. 

These beautiful vistas left Gilgamesh amazed; it was so different from Uruk that he could easily say they were two distinct worlds. The rich land and the beautiful breeze were something that very few places could achieve, which is why living differently but similarly was a deep-seated desire within him. 

"It seems we've arrived. Should that be the estate down there?" Gilgamesh asked casually, looking at the village from an altitude of over a thousand meters and moving at a speed difficult for the human eye to detect. 

"Yes, it should be this place." Ghislaine responded with more calmness as she used her eye's ability to see clearly at the distance they were. 

When Gilgamesh arrived, he didn't descend immediately but instead concealed his presence and waited alongside Ghislaine, as they observed a child facing an adult in what appeared to be a sword duel.
