I'm in Type-Moon, how can I let you bully me?

"Jill, we have finished handling the government affairs for this period and are now going to the palace to report."

At first, Anhaiduyana didn't know how to address Gilgamesh.

At this time, Gilgamesh was still understanding and generously said that he could just call him "Gil".

Looking in the direction of the palace and recalling his experiences during this period, Gilgamesh couldn't help but sigh.

"I never thought government affairs could be so exhausting. Even I find it a bit nerve-wracking."

After sighing, Gilgamesh showed an expression full of respect towards the palace.

"The responsibilities we two alone are responsible for are so heavy. I wonder... I wonder how heavy the responsibilities the king is responsible for are."

"Ah this..."

109. How can you be a king without arrogance?

Gilgamesh obviously wanted to say the word "father", but for some reason he didn't say it. He just called Russell "king" like everyone else.

"Ah this..."

After hearing Gilgamesh's respectful words, Anhaiduana didn't know how to speak.

Is it okay to lie to a child?

Should I reveal the truth to a child who longs for his father? Wouldn't that be even worse?

After a brief thought, Anhaiduyana chose to lie.

After all, she was the chief secretary loyal to the king.

"I'm really tired."

Just as she said this and was about to say more good things about Russell, a loud voice came from the palace gate -

"This goddess really didn't make a mistake in choosing you. I like you even more."

Silence spread in front of the palace gate.

Anhaiduyana emptied her mind, not thinking, nor looking at Gilgamesh's appearance.

Gilgamesh looked troubled.

Did the goddess Ishtar stay by my father's side during his working hours?

It's a pity that Gilgamesh didn't know what to say about "What a corny couple, luckily they are not his parents, otherwise he would be in trouble", otherwise he would have blurted out the words.

It's just that his mood is pretty much the same now.

Because one of the two people in the palace was actually his father.

another......

What should I call her? Little Mom?

When Gilgamesh thought of the willful and bad-reputation goddess Ishtar as his stepmother, he suddenly felt that life was not so good.

Moreover, judging from some of the things Gilgamesh overheard in heaven, the Queen of the Underworld, who may have had a tragic life but a twisted personality, may also be his father's confidant.

Really...

Gilgamesh, with dead eyes, knocked on the door as he thought of this.

At this time, inside the door.

Ishtar looked towards the palace gate in confusion.

"Is it Anhaiduyana who comes to report government affairs to you again?"

"And Gilgamesh."

As Russell responded, the door opened.

Ishtar took a closer look at Gilgamesh in front of her and suddenly complained.

"I didn't notice it before, but now that I look closely...why do I feel a little offended?"

"..."

Gilgamesh responded to Ishtar's silence.

Sure enough, there is a reason why this goddess has a bad reputation!

After complaining about Ishtar in his heart, Gilgamesh handed the summary clay tablet in his hand to Russell.

After taking the clay tablet, Russell also thought that it would be best to avoid letting these two people who disliked each other meet in the future.

"Actually, I've heard about the government affairs you've completed. You did a great job."

After carefully examining the clay tablet, Russell spoke in a sincere and cordial tone.

“It completely exceeded my expectations.”

Gilgamesh: 80 (Happy)

Young Gilgamesh raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said shyly.

"You flatter me."

The next step should be to acknowledge his identity, or at least to clarify each other's identities, right?

For no reason, Gilgamesh felt a little nervous.

"I don't need to help with government affairs for the time being. So, what are your ambitions?"

Things did not develop as Gilgamesh expected, and Russell just continued to ask him questions gently.

ambition?

Gilgamesh raised his head, and his mind flashed back to what he had said in the temple of Nanna, that he would gain the title of Hero King through his own strength.

However, at this time, he did not say anything, but fell into silence.

Seeing this, Russell didn't urge him too much, but just spoke in a gentle tone.

"I believe that in life, one must set a lofty goal to strive for. To achieve this goal, one must go through a long and bumpy road. There are no shortcuts."

"In order to achieve this goal, you must strive hard and fight for it. That's why I ask you this question."

Russell is now more like a teacher than a father.

However, parents are their children's first teachers.

Besides, wasn't it nominally arranged that he and Ishtar would teach together?

Facing Gilgamesh's gaze, Russell continued, "A person should devote hard work and dedication to the cause he loves. The first step before doing so is to establish his own goals. Otherwise, his limited life will be wasted."

Limited life...

Gilgamesh thought of the curse that he would die if he was not acknowledged.

"I want to become the King of Heroes."

Gilgamesh has no shortage of courage.

Russell had already said this, so he felt there was no reason to hide it anymore.

Then Gilgamesh uttered these words.

"Not inheriting from you, nor reaching your goal, but surpassing you! Let the title of Hero King belong to me alone!"

"You guy..."

Before Russell could speak, Ishtar stood up from the sky boat with dissatisfaction and frowned.

However, Russell comforted her and spoke first.

"That's a good ambition, but you may have to go through a long and bumpy road to achieve it."

"...Aren't you angry?"

Gilgamesh was silent for a moment and then asked in confusion.

Russell smiled and said, "Children are the world's treasures. How could an adult be angry with a child? Moreover, there is no reason to be angry at someone for expressing their ambitions, nor is there any reason to stop someone from working hard for their ambitions."

"The premise is that this is indeed the ambition you decide to devote your life to."

After finishing speaking, Russell took out a clay tablet and handed it to Gilgamesh.

"You still enjoy the status of Crown Prince. Whether to make it public or not is up to you."

What is recorded on the clay tablets is still government affairs.

To be precise, it is a government matter called an imperial edict.

It records the announcement of Gilgamesh's identity and his appointment as the crown prince.

Gilgamesh took the clay tablet and learned its contents.

He suddenly smiled. "If this were to be made public, no matter how much I accomplished, under your brilliance, I'm afraid the only thing I could say would be, 'A true son of Lugalbanda,' right?"

"Yes, then, are you going to refuse?"

There was an indescribable smile on Russell's lips, and there seemed to be expectation in his eyes.

"No!"

Gilgamesh shook his head decisively.

"With this title, I can still prove myself as the most worthy Hero King under your glory. This is what I should do!"

Even in childhood, the arrogance ingrained in his bones had already begun to show.

Now, it's time to talk about the treasure trove.

Russell looked at Ishtar and her favorability, which had remained stagnant for a long time.

He suddenly changed his mind.

ps. The cough demon cannot be defeated. I can't help coughing when I lie down to rest. I will update 2 times today as a minimum. I will see the situation tomorrow.

110. He has to thank me!

If one were to say, what Ereshkigal, trapped in the underworld, longed for most was eternal companionship.

So, what do Ishtar, the mistress of the sky, the goddess Venus known as the bright star, and other goddesses with various complex and powerful roles, desire most?

The goddess of love.

This concept flashed through Russell's mind.

Could it be that what Ishtar longed for was something abstract like "true love"?

but......

How is true love defined?

Everyone has a different understanding of true love. What is Ishtar's understanding of true love?

This is what Russell was thinking about just now.

This was also the reason why he decided to make some changes and try it out.

Under the surprised gazes of Gilgamesh, Ishtar, and Anheduyana, Russell slowly spoke, "You all already know that I am collecting the original texts of human wisdom."

Coming soon!

Ishtar became excited when she heard Russell bring up this topic.

Her good times are coming!

"This treasure house, which contains the original wisdom of all mankind, will expand into what it will become once it is sublimated. I don't need to explain it further."

Russell continued, just as Ishtar expected to hear.

However, he then changed the subject, which made Ishtar a little disappointed.

"Jill, what do you think of this treasure house?"

"It's something a king should possess!"
