Actually, I Was The Real One
Chapter 30
Arthur quickly handed the chips to her, refraining from teasing her, 'You said you wouldn't do it, Madam?'
As expected, it was fun to watch others spend money.
Arthur: “I'll explain to you how to do it. Do you see the license plate here? Place your chips on the number you want. You can choose only one number to bet on, but the maximum is four.”
Keyra: “Oke.”
Arthur: “Then the dealer there will roll the ball. If the ball stops and lands on the number you selected, you win money. If not, you lose.”
It was a game that was won purely out of luck. There are no rules ... but why does it look so fun?
Zeke: "Noonim, are you really going to do it?"
Keira: “We have come all the way here. It's okay to play at least once. ”
He felt Zeke's gaze full of shock and betrayal, but he pretended not to see it. He's already watching roulette.
That looks fun.
Really, really fun.
Some other guests place their bets – others place their chips on one number, others on more than one.
'Let's play it safe.'
He is a complete beginner.
Keira put his chips on four numbers. As soon as he places his bet, the ball rolls from the dealer's hand.
Arthur: "If it goes well, you'll win nine times the bet."
Keira: “I didn't expect much because the chances are small, but..”
But it's fun, isn't it?
He could not continue his words.
"Huh?"
“H-hah?”
The rolling ball stops and lands on one of its selected numbers.
“…!”
(Dealer): “Congratulations. It's beginner's luck. ”
The dealer pushes his winnings in front of him.
(Dealer): “You can exchange it for money there.”
There was a wide grin on Keira's face. He returned the chips Arthur had given him earlier.
Keira: “Mr Arthur, these are the chips you gave me earlier.”
He then handed some to his younger brother.
Keira: "Zeke, do you want to try it?"
He now understood why Raul and Arthur could not stop recommending the game. He can't do it alone!
Zeke: "T-but, noon ..."
Keira: “Take it for now. You can exchange it for money if you do not want to play.”
He gave the chips to Zeke and turned around.
Keira: “I'll try another.”
The three knights looked at each other and grinned. It's fun to teach an innocent lamb about the fun of entertainment. First, drink hard, and now, gamble.
......................
To date, the only game Keira plays is chess. It is fun to develop one's talents through tea. The chess club even held social gatherings, so it was considered a noble pastime.
But the games in the casino are different.
Instead of a complicated brain battle, gambling relies solely on luck. Of course, the professionals would calculate this and that, but that was irrelevant to the fledgling Keira.
That's very interesting!
Reina: “Wow, so there really is such a thing as beginner luck?”
Reina, who was watching from the side, muttered.
Parties agree. Before they even realized it, there was a pile of chips in front of their women.
Arthur grumbling.
Arthur: “Builder's luck? That can't be true. If you knew how bad I was when I first came here, you wouldn't say it.”
Raul laughed out loud. Looks like Arthur got robbed.
Zeke: “...pulling.”
Finally, Zeke swapped out the chips his sister gave him and bought a non-alcoholic drink suitable for the young master of the Parvis family.
Raul: "Mrs, after you exchange chips for money, what are you going to spend them for?"
Reina: “Don't be fooled by her. It just means he wants you to buy him food.”
Raul: "No, I won't!"
'I want to come again with everyone ...'
He was looking for an opening to invite them out again but did not have the courage to do so. He couldn't ignore the opportunity that Mr. Raul had given him.
Trying to sound indifferent, Keira spoke.
Keyra: “Oke. It's too late today, so let's go back next time. ”
Raul: "Oh, really??"
Keyra: “Yes. How much do we need to eat? ”
Raul: "Can I eat something expensive?"
Reina: “Raul Kirix [1] !”
Reina scolded Raul, and Zeke seemed to want to join her.
While everyone was buzzing, Arthur had a serious expression on his face.
Everyone looked at him, wanting to know why the usually noisy man was silent.
"Why do you look so serious?"
“Yes, that's what I think.”
Arthur: “Um, the.. I just think it's a little weird.”.
Reina: "What?"
Arthur: "Isn't the lady too lucky?"
He's facing Keyra.
Arthur: “If once or twice, we can think of it as beginner luck. But this…"
He pointed to the pile of chips.
Keyra tilted her head.
Keira: "Is this a lot of money?"
Arthur: “.... it will be a small amount for the mistress, but for anyone, when your money grows ten times the original amount overnight, it is a jackpot.”
Keira: “There's a reason why I won this much?”
Arthur: "Well, I guess—"
At that moment Arthur was cut off.
Server: “Honored Guest, Count Xavier sent you a message. Do you want to read it?”
A servant gave him a note, and Keira opened it.
"What is this about?"
Keira: “They asked if I was interested in playing in the VIP room with higher stakes.”
'I thought something was weird, so here it is, ' Arthur thought.
Arthur: “Mistress, I think it–.”
He tried to speak, but he could not finish.
Keira's cheeks turned red, and her eyes twinkled.
A small cry came out of his mouth.
“Keren.. It's like a duel between knights.”.
Which part? Arthur wanted to ask but held him back. This innocent lady seemed to interpret a note that meant 'I want to eat you alive' as a dueling request.
"Oh, my head."
That is a common tactic in casinos.
Count Xaverius's.
Arthur would risk his sword that such a family did not exist.
'Since the madam, who looked rich, looked around as if this was her first time going to a casino, they must have thought she would be a good target.'
The first roulette may be really lucky. But the next game will be fixed by the thugs and the dealer.
Winning money in the first few rounds will build their confidence and encourage them to play further. That's common sense.
Eager beginners will bet more and increase the stakes, and will definitely be robbed.
It was a technique often used on rich-looking beginners.
It would be best to leave immediately if they wanted to avoid obvious damage, but …
'She looks very happy. What am I doing?'
How can one tell someone whose eyes sparkle with joy that all they enjoy tonight is a deception of the gods?
His heart ached to see the woman they lost color in his cheeks and twinkle in his eyes. However, he could not just shut up and do nothing.
Just when he was about to speak. Keira beat him to it.
Keira: “Please send my apology to Count, but I will not go to the VIP room. I had no plans to bet a large sum of money. I'm free to play a small game, so if he agrees with that, he's welcome to join us. ”
