Actually, I Was The Real One
Chapter 31
(Servant): “Ah... In that case, I will pass the message to Count [1] .”
Keyra: “Please.”
After the maid left, Keira looked back at the group and said.
Keira: “We need to have money to eat. I can't bet big money and hope to get it back.
Arthur: "In your opinion, how much will you spend on gambling?"
The answer will determine whether Arthur will tell the truth or not.
Keira: “It's almost time to go home, so I think this will be the last time. Should we risk everything except the amount we need to eat us next time?”
Did he say he would risk most of his income?
You have to stop it…
Keira: "Well, this much?"
Keira took some chips.
Arthur: “...Is that the price of the meal, Madam?”
Keira: “No, I will only bet this much.”
The knights stared at each other. They don't want to spend all that money on food.
Raul unconsciously muttered.
Raul: "Do we eat gold dust?"
Since the Parvis family was the most prestigious royal family, it made sense for them to become extremely wealthy. Keira, who was born in such a family, could not have a normal economic concept.
'Because they want to make friends, I want to treat them with the best food.'
With that in mind, he set a budget for it. He could not even imagine that it was too much for one meal.
Keyra: “What's up? Is there a problem?"
Raul: “No, nothing.. I just want to know which restaurant to visit.”.
Which restaurant should they visit to spend all that money in one meal?
Arthur cancels his plan to tell the truth to the woman. If he could lose that much money still enjoying his first time at the casino, great for him.
The waiter returns and shows him to the corner table. A luxurious-dressed middle-aged man was waiting in his chair. Although he was a bit fat, he had a friendly impression.
He stroked his ring and said.
Count Xavier: "Is this your first time here?"
Keira nodded instead of answering. If his opponent was a true noble, he might recognize his voice.
Fortunately, the Count did not look offended by his wordless reply.
Count: “You look very lucky. As expected, beginners really do have a lot of luck. ”
(Dealer): "You must be nervous, Lord Xavier."
The merchant was joking.
Count : “Casino interest is poker. Oh, but if the madam wants to play a different game, let me know. ”
To be honest, it didn't matter to Keira what game they played, because he didn't know how to play it.
Keira: "Do as you please."
Count: “You don't talk too much, do you?”
He shrugged and pointed to the dealer who then started shuffling the cards.
Count : “Well, I don't feel like a zoo monkey. Why don't your friends go somewhere else for a while?”
That's a pretty polite request. But he still shouldn't have said that.
If they were to leave their women alone, who knew what 'Count' would say to deceive her.
Arthur tries to resist, but Keira is a little faster.
Keira: “Because you've been watching me all this time, you'll know my friends are watching my match.”
He didn't directly accuse her of not wanting to embarrass her, but to be honest, he wasn't bothered by someone watching him the entire time.
The Count also seems to have realized that his actions might be considered offensive.
Count : “If that's what you want, then I'll admit it.”
The count no longer insisted. Both sides wanted to proceed quickly, so the game was about to begin.
Initially, Keira won.
(Dealer): “You're lucky, Bu.”
The dealer gave a small laugh as he shoved the chips at her.
Keira who is generally confused about poker, is just confused.
How did he not win ...?
Every time he lost, Count Xavier would make a face as if he felt sorry for him.
Keira didn't bother him much.
'Take it off and come back.'
Just when he was about to run out of chips ...
He saw a card coming out of Count Xavier's arm.
It was such a rapid movement that anyone would not notice it unless they were like Keira who had sharper eyesight than the average person.
Even though today was his first time in a casino, he wasn't stupid enough to know what it meant.
For a moment, he thought of grabbing her wrist, but...
"Don't make a fuss."
If he did, he might draw attention to himself and accidentally reveal his identity.
When he wondered how to incapacitate the man secretly ...
“Ahhhhhhh!”
Count Xavier shouted out loudly.
Someone close to her grabbed her wrist to hold her back.
(Dealer): “Guest! What are you doing?"
He was a very tall blonde. He twisted Count Xavier's wrist, ignoring the dealer's request.
Immediately, several cards fell from the Count's arms.
That is evidence that no one can dispute.
“I can't believe you're trying to fool this woman. I can't just shut up and do nothing.”
......................
Aiden Castro is a handsome man.
He was not only handsome; he was extremely handsome.
Blonde hair like the sun and bright green eyes.
Beautiful, sculptural features.
Even people who don't like him can't deny that he's an attractive person.
He also comes from a good family.
Aiden was the third son of Viscount Castro, and thanks to his two talented older brothers, he was fortunate enough to live like a lily for the rest of his life.
He is a handsome and rich man who likes to play.
Today, Aiden is wasting time at the casino with his friends again, looking for a girl to woo.
A woman wearing a butterfly mask caught his attention. Although the woman's eyes were closed, when she saw her sharp jaw and nose, and her white skin, she felt that the woman was beautiful.
He looked at her from the entrance. He was busy looking around as if this was the first time he had come to such a place.
Although the people around him laughed at his behavior, he seemed too distracted to notice it.
Aiden's friends laughed at him.
"Maybe it's the first time he's come to a casino."
"She's pretty, but she's acting like a country boy."
“...Maybe she grew up in a very strict family.”
"Are you interested?"
Aiden: "A girl like her is more fun than a girl who knows everything."
It was friendly banter among friends. If he remained silent, his friends would probably pick up the woman who caught his attention.
Aiden: "I'll try to hit him."
Aiden stood up from his seat, ignoring his friends who said he couldn't do it.
He could probably count with one hand the number of women he had seduced.
Most of them had fiancees or husbands, and instead of failing, she gave up.
Wh why? It would be troublesome to get involved in an affair.
More importantly, his brothers who paid for his entertainment would be enraged.
'It just so happens that approaching him will be more effective than directly teasing him.'
Aiden's eyes sharpened like an eagle hunting prey.
Soon, he found the perfect opportunity. The woman was approached by a group of scam gamblers.
'It's natural to support someone who helps you in a difficult situation.'
