'Why is Ki'Nua leaving so soon? Wasn't she excited about this auction?' Re'Kha frowned, 'As I suspected, something is different about her now.'
Two of the young Harmonisers that had brought in the items at the start arrived before seat number 200, escorting Ki'Nua to the backstage. They planned to direct her to the exit from there.
Re'Kha swooped in on their conversation, watching one of the young Harmonisers talk to Ki'Nua, "You'll only be able to leave once the auction ends. Until then, you'll have to wait in one of the exclusive carriages where we'll load your items. Please don't worry. You'll be the first to leave once the auction ends."
"That's fine by me," Ki'Nua replied, feeling her heart thump in tension. She then proceeded as directed by the two young Harmonisers, arriving at a room where a group of Harmonisers from the Royal Clan were seated behind a counter.
