<CHAPTER 08>
Thisbe immediately wanted to raise her hand and politely ask the host.
Hey, maybe.
Does Mariette’s cursed ring, the last product, have the effect of making you unlucky just by being in the same space?
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to understand the current situation.
‘Why on earth is Sor here!’
Black market auction house. It is a place that should be exactly on the other side of the world from a person named Sor Armand Salvator, who is pure and good, and has a very upright and moral character.
I feel like I just want to close my eyes and deny that I didn’t see anything… … .
… … Before she could deny it, she had already seen Sor’s confused face.
Even though she was covered in a robe, her blonde hair still sparkled in the light. Beautiful eyes too.
And, even the low voice that called Thisbe herself.
Thisbe barely managed to get her trembling voice out. I hope it’s not Sor.
“So, sor?”
“Yes, it is me. “I didn’t expect to see you here.”
And her expectations were cruelly betrayed. In the midst of all this, the sight of Sor’s face, which seemed somehow happy that she had met her in a place like this, made her even more sad.
‘I could have done it without anyone finding out… … .’
Why did I get caught by Sor, the person I least want to be caught by?
Even if I couldn’t completely follow Sor’s kind and good side, I at least didn’t want to be seen as a black marketeer or someone who wanders in and out!
However, unlike Thisbe, who was screaming internally, Sor looked a little puzzled.
“Did you come secretly?”
“yes… … . “I have something to look into.”
After answering that, Thisbe paused. And then she added hastily:
“I’ll tell you in advance, this is my first time coming to the black market. really.”
“Is that so. “I’m glad that we can share Thisbe’s first days together.”
Sor whispered and smiled brightly. Was it because of my mood that the surroundings seemed to somehow become brighter at that moment?
It was clear that Thisbe’s heart, which had been filled with despair, became brighter than on a sunny summer day.
Ah, of course my angel.
I still felt a little bad about being caught by Sor, but Sor would definitely keep quiet.
‘I don’t think I feel too bad about it either.’
Once the part I was most worried about was resolved, the next thing to worry about was Sor.
That’s because it wasn’t just a black market, it was also a place where a murder case might occur soon.
Whether or not there was a description in the original work about Sor being at the auction house is not immediately important, so let’s leave it aside.
Thisbe held Sor’s hand tightly and asked.
“Then why are you here?”
“Oh, that’s… … ”
Sor looked very embarrassed when his hand was grabbed, and began to hesitate. I couldn’t see her face because she was in the dark, but she might have turned bright red.
After fidgeting for a while, he finally came up with an answer.
“… … “Didn’t you see the advertisement for this auction last time?”
“I did.”
“Well, it seems like you’re interested in rings… … .”
“ah.”
Sor seemed to have misunderstood Thisbe’s inquiring questions about the advertisement and the ring to mean that Thisbe wanted the ring.
The ring was really pretty, so if this hadn’t happened, I might have coveted it a little.
So it is not unreasonable for Sor to guess that way.
“You seem to have been very upset lately, so I wanted to give you something that might provide some comfort.”
Moreover, regardless of whether Sor’s guess was wrong, there was no way he could coldly say, “I’m not interested in rings or anything,” in front of someone who said this.
Of course, to be honest, I don’t want to silence my past self, who dragged Sor here for no reason by showing interest in the advertisement and not providing an explanation.
Thisbe was a person who knew how to take care of the opposite sex.
“Thank you for your concern, Sor. “I never thought I’d meet someone I know, but it’s nice to see you like this.”
“I was a little nervous because it was my first time, but seeing you made me feel more relaxed.”
“But how did I come here? “You wouldn’t even be able to see your face.”
“Ah, I thought I heard your voice just a moment ago. So I came over to check.”
“… … “You came to me with just my voice?”
There was certainly a moment when Thisbe’s voice rang throughout this large hall.
The moment I entered the auction.
The auction process is simple. Each person must keep the sound amplifier handed to them upon entry, and when they want to participate in the auction, they turn it on and bid money.
‘There was a bit of competition when buying grimoires.’
So I opened my mouth a few times.
You recognized yourself through that alone? In addition, the location must have been somewhat unclear due to the use of an amplifier, but they even managed to find it right away.
“greatly… … “I have a good feeling, Sor.”
“It’s limited to you. “I will find you wherever you are.”
“Hmm, even if I don’t say anything?”
“If you touch just one of your five senses, you can recognize it.”
It was said that it made no difference to him whether he saw it with his eyes or heard it with his voice.
“Because the feeling when it touches you is special.”
Why did that whispering voice tickle me so much?
Perhaps it was because the very fact of whispering meant it tickled a little.
But the auction hasn’t even ended, so I can’t tell you not to whisper… … .
‘… … for a moment.’
Now that I think about it, what about the auction? What is Lunette English?
The moment Thisbe turned her head, the host shouted loudly from the stage.
“-320 million gold! The bid was successful! “Auction is ending!”
Ding ding ding!
The bell signaling the end of the auction rang, and the auction house slowly began to become noisy again.
With the same effect as when the play ended, people began to raise their voices one by one as all events ended.
And, since nothing has happened so far, Lunette Yeongsik will definitely take advantage of this moment to be murdered.
The lights had not yet been fully turned on, and when it was noisy with people, it was the best time to avoid people’s eyes.
If it had been any other time, I would have been watching until Lunette Yeongsik was murdered or left the auction house.
There was a sor today.
This good young man who did not hesitate to go to such a dirty place for the sake of Thisbe, to whom he was only betrothed by political means.
“Thisbe, they say they receive the goods over there.”
“… … Oh, shall we go together?”
“Gladly.”
Sor responded kindly and held out his hand. Thisbe took the hand, glanced back, and exchanged a glance with Malone.
A few glances and chin gestures were enough to convey an opinion.
‘Malone,follow the target. ‘Murder can be prevented, right?’
‘I told you to leave that to me.’
Even though Malone seemed a bit mischievous and abrasive, he was a person who got things done straight.
That’s why Thisbe brought Malone, leaving the others behind.
‘If you leave it to Malone, there won’t be any problems.’
Thisbe took one last look toward Lunette Youngsik, then turned her head and followed Soar.
First of all, it was more important not to show any more unpleasant events to Sor, who had come to this place because of him.
* * *
Thisbe received the grimoire and returned home in Sor’s carriage. She had originally planned to return home to her mansion in the carriage, leaving her maid to sleep.
-If it’s okay with you, can I accompany you on the way home? It’s a pity to say goodbye after seeing you for such a short time… … .
When you say this and your eyes turn red, how can you say so coldly, “It’s not okay. Can you say, “Go back alone?”
Of course, the three of us could have come in a carriage with the maid sleeping, but then we would have to first explain why we had the maid sleeping.
So she sent home first the carriage in which the maid had been put to sleep, and returned herself in Sower’s carriage.
When I broke up with him, it was already late in the night, and the moon was very waning.
Thisbe trudged inside, holding the grimoire.
‘I didn’t do anything, but I feel tired.’
I was so determined that I should not let Lunette Yeongsik die, but it seemed like I quickly became tired.
I was going up the stairs with the sole intention of taking a shower and going to sleep, when I heard a commotion coming from the room on the first floor.
To be more specific, in the room of my grandfather, Duke Callist.
“Matriarch, this is all for Callist!”
“Now, the princess is someone who is diminishing Callist’s honor just by existing! You know! We must restore Estelle Illaire’s honor by giving her the castle of Callist!”
Wow, I think she just prevented the murder by holding Sor’s hand….
It’s both sad and incredibly sweet that she thinks her fiance is an angel. I hope he gets to hear what she thinks of him soon. I think he’ll feel very complicated about it.
