594 Chapter 594: Responsibility
"What?" The girl looked at Eren in disbelief as he caught her hand. "An outsider dares to touch me?" @@@@
The outsiders were enslaved in this world. In many cases, they were treated even worse than any other species in this world. Even if they were to be slapped in public, they could only lower their heads like animals and accept being beaten.
At worst, they might try to move away to protect themselves, but never did they hold the hands of someone from Hell to protect themselves.
The girl felt disgusted, as a slave was holding her hand. She hadn't put much force behind her attack before, but she was so furious that she stopped holding back.
"Estelia, I am going to kill your slave!" she exclaimed as she pulled out a dagger. The dagger itself was a treasure. Eren didn't even have to use his identification skill to see that it was a dangerous artefact.
Even his healing might not be able to protect him if the dagger hurt him. He could've let the woman strike him.
Fortunately, she wasn't as strong as Lysander. Her level hovered around Estelia's level, which was in a comfortable range for someone like him that could jump levels when fighting.
The girl moved, thinking that there was no way an outsider was going to keep up with her speed. Her dagger came straight for his neck.
Estelia's expressions also darkened. She remembered that Eren was the guest of her father. She didn't know how angry her father was going to be, if his guest was killed, especially when the so-called guest was from his favorite earth.
"Jenia, wait!" she rushed forward, and grabbed her hand, stopping the dagger that was merely a few inches away from Eren.
Eren was also prepared to react, when he saw Estelia grab her friend's hand to stop him.

"In this world, a slave isn't allowed to behave like you are behaving right now. If you were with someone else, you might already be killed. Apologize while I'm still being lenient. Don't embarrass me any further."
Estelia also looked at Eren with a frown. She knew that he wasn't from this world, and his common sense might be different. Still, she gave him an opportunity to protect himself, and he was so stubborn.
"In this world, a slave isn't allowed to behave like you are behaving right now. If you were with someone else, you might already be killed. Apologize while I'm still being lenient. Don't embarrass me any further."
Normally, even Estelia would've started thrashing Eren for his behaviour, but she was still trying to be calm, being considerate for his origins. But her temper was still rising as an outsider tried to behave as if he was their equal.
Just because they had dinner with him and talked to him nicely, did he really forget his place? Or was he never informed about his real place in this world in the first place?
"I think you're the one who is forgetting something, Lady Estelia," Eren answered, still not hesitating. There was no way in hell for him to beg for forgiveness before these two girls.
"I might be an outsider, but I am not a slave," he reminded the girl, revealing his wrist that had no enslavement bracelet.
He was brought back by the First Primordial, but not as a slave nor as a guest that came from his hometown. Even if there were rules in this world that an outsider didn't walk free, who was going to enforce these rules before the Guest of the First Primordial?
"As I am not a slave, I don't have to follow the rules that are established for the slaves. Instead, I am a guest for the First Primordial. As a Guest of a Primordial, my safety and dignity is his responsibility."
He didn't step back. Instead, he walked closer to Estelia, each of his words echoing heavily in her ears.
