I woke up in the hotel.
Limus was sitting next to her, reading a book.
My butler was already wearing an excellent suit.
I got up to put on my own.
Limus helped me get dressed, and my suit fit just as well.
"How's the time?"
"It's about time."
We left the hotel.
It was dark outside, and we didn't see a single soul as we walked to the church.
Before entering the underground, Limus wanted to tell me something.
"I'm sorry, Lord, I forgot to tell you that you don't have to worry about your cocoon, all the creatures that touch it will become your vassals regardless of their strength and desire.
"Fine, but I want to know who's going to take the cocoon."
Let's go.
"All right.
Limus opened the lid of the secret entrance and we went down.
We were met by a man, apparently an auctioneer.
- Gentlemen, are you in the auction?
"Yes, my servant and I wish to be there.
"I haven't seen you in town before…
"We're from far away.
-You are not trustworthy
I pulled three face coins out of my pocket.
"I hope that's more eloquent than words."
The auctioneer's face changed
"All right, follow me."
He led us into the hall, where all the cream of the nobility was already gathered.
We sat down.
The auction is about to start.
The auctioneer went up on stage and presented MY COCOON to the audience.
My shell, which is left from the metamorphosis, is being sold by some rabble.
"My Lord, your bloodlust may hinder us.
"Yes, you're right.
I calmed down.
Meanwhile, the Auctioneer finished with the presentation and announced the auction.
"A flap the size of a handkerchief.
The starting price is a hundred gold pieces with the face of the king.
101, 120, 267, 289, 346, 678,1000
People were betting more and more.
Bid 1000 times
Bid 1000 two
Before he could say it a third time, an old man with gray hair stood up in the hall.
1 million gold coins, buy the whole cocoon…
All the nobility died, such a thing was hardly expected from an old grandfather.
The auctioneer slumped to the floor.
I turned to Limus.
"Just look at him, he's so full of pathos. After the auction, we will follow him.
The auctioneer came to his senses.
- Bid 1 million gold with the face of the king
No one wants to interrupt?
There was no answer.
The cocoon was sold for 1 million to this gentleman.
The old man went up to the stage, followed by two other men with a suitcase. They paid for the Cocoon.
The old man left the hall.
Limus and I immediately followed him.
When we got out, he was already in the carriage.
We went around the corner to keep an eye on them. There was a carriage with a coachman nearby.
We got into the carriage, and I tossed a coin to the coachman.
I answered his surprised look.
"There's a carriage around the corner, follow it."
The old man's carriage moved, and ours followed.
It began to rain, and I felt sleepy.
The jolting of the carriage finally put me to sleep.
