Chapter 1780 Sin Snakes
?'Hehehe.
This should be fun. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
I'm betting on that scholarly guy to come up with a good excuse or reveal that he is connected to some bigshot in the kingdom,' said a hushed voice to another.
'Haah! Didn't you see the royal crest on their clothes? What can he do in front of the Eldorathian royal family? I am pretty sure that guy and his two mates would be kicked out of Sunhaven soon,' responded another with a voice tinged with absolute confidence.
The patrons at Mystic Hearth restaurant anticipated a spectacle as a group of royals and their retainers attempted to expel Eren, Reen, and Arman.
They refrained from intervening or summoning city guards, choosing to remain silent observers and relish the unfolding drama without taking sides.
Even the head manager of Mystic Hearth found himself powerless to prevent the royals from encroaching on the privacy of other patrons. Firstly, he couldn't risk offending the royals. Secondly, he harbored reservations about Eren's decision to allow a beggar into the establishment.
The onlookers gazed at Eren's table with a mix of emotions.
Some secretly cheered for the royal group, while others hoped Eren and Reen would emerge as heroes and shield young Arman from unjust treatment. After all, not everyone liked royals and their pompous attitudes towards the common populace.
Even if some of them did not particularly like a beggar sitting alongside them, they were ready to support Eren's side in silence as long as he could put up a good resistance against the royals.
It was evident that the scion from Sunhaven's merchant family was gearing up to intervene, taking charge of the situation initiated by the beautiful yet haughty royal girl. Just so that he could impress her and form connections with the Eldorathian royal family.
The butcher had to address the situation before an Elder Seed Artifact Spirit intervened while he was busy with something else. In her desire to seek revenge, she could put countless lives at risk by obliterating half the city in the process.
Reen flashed a smile at Eren as she observed him summoning the Sin Series Snakes. She could guess what they could do to the targets. Only then did she relax, deciding to let bygones be bygones.

"What are you so zoned out for?"
Eren snapped his fingers at the still-stunned Arman. "Weren't you hungry a moment ago? Let's dig in," he gestured to the nearby restaurant staff, signaling them to serve the trio from the food trolley.
"Aaaah! Right," Arman shook off his daze, putting aside his questions to focus on the meal at hand. Reen, too, readied her cutlery, ready to join the feast.
As the restaurant staff catered to their preferences, the trio delved into discussions about their upcoming plans. Just as Eren savored the first bite of the main course, he noticed another young man approaching their table.
This newcomer bore the same royal symbol over his robe, just above his heart, akin to the one the royal girl had. Signifying his connection to Eldorathian royalty, he addressed Eren with a courteous bow.
"Excuse me, sir. Would you mind if I joined your table?"
The young man asked politely. Eren, showing a hint of stress, hesitated. He preferred to avoid using his ocular powers in the mortal realms unless absolutely necessary.
Besides, he couldn't fathom how he was attracting so much attention, despite attempting to keep a low profile in Sunhaven.
'They say counting blessings is wiser than counting troubles. Well, this city is making it pretty fucking challenging for me to follow that advice.'
Eren mused to himself, casting a blank expression toward the man.
