However, Gilgamesh's patience was not exactly a virtue he was known for. Where he was kind to those who show their loyalty, he was especially firm with those who disobey or seek to challenge him in even the slightest of ways.

Normally he would just fetch guards to bring the rebellious girl before him on the throne, but he knew the best way to put an unruly servant back in their place is to tear down their own 'safety hole'... namely her own personal quarters, to show that there is no place to hide from her master when he is on the prowl.
And as soon as foot steps were heard outside her door, there was no knock. There wasn't even an announcement. Just a door being slammed open and a pair of handmaidens hiding in the hallway away from their irate king as the king himself bore his eyes full of discontent at the girl underneath that pile of blankets and said one small thing.
