บท 91: The Auction (4)

“I will feel happy just by looking at it, and it will bring fame to my whole family. I’m sure If I can win the auction, my life will be more complete!”

Tinos was so excited that he almost jumped out of the sofa.

Angele shook his head, speechless.

*BAM*

Someone pushed the door open from outside while everyone was still staring at the gem.

People finally stopped looking and turned back to see what was going on. They also started chatting again. A young girl in a black one-piece appeared by the door, slowly walking toward the auction block. She looked calm, and it seemed the two guards knew who she was. They hesitated to stop the girl from advancing.

“Ness! Do you know what you are doing!” a deep voice came from the third private room.

“Ness? The daughter of…”

“It’s her…”

The nobles started to talk about the girl. It seemed like most of them knew her.

Tinos stood up and walked toward Angele. He looked down the glass.
