Amber naturally knew that Gawain's 'rules' were different from those elsewhere, just as Gawain's entire way of thinking was different from others.
Would a normal person sell their advanced technological achievements to the outside world? Would a normal person try to make Magic, which should belong exclusively to aristocrats and Transcendents, as cheap as cabbages? Would a normal person establish an Administrative Office and a whole administrative system, delegating powers that should belong solely to the leader to 'civil servants' of lowly aristocratic or even common birth?
Gawain did it all, and every time with reasonable justification.
