At this time, Duraxi, Nasis, and Himari were all sitting in the seats reserved for regular guests.
However, Nasis's expression was a bit weird. He tilted his head, his face revealing a puzzled expression. He couldn't understand why he had acted silly previously.
Earlier, when he and Duraxi went to the Pharmacist Tower, he suddenly met a friend, so he went to speak with his friend alone while Duraxi waited for him.
Nasis didn't know that while he was chatting with his friends, Duraxi was messing with the gatekeeper. However, at that time he felt that Duraxi was very unreasonable.
Whether Duraxi was the prince of the Kingdom of Catheryne or the fiance of the Princess of the Dark-Elf kingdom, the rules of the auction house must be obeyed. There were people whose status was much higher than Duraxi's but they still had to follow the rules of the auction house .
However, not only did Duraxi disobey the rules of the auction house, but he also made it difficult for the guard. Worst of all, he yelled that the guard was looking down on him so that's why he wouldn't let him into the auction room.
Nasis felt very uncomfortable with Duraxi's behavior because everyone followed the rules, so on what basis did he have to ignore the rules?
However, when he saw Anno express her displeasure with Duraxi's actions, he did not understand why he wanted to suddenly protect him.
He agreed with what Anno did, but at that moment, his thoughts seemed to be abnormal, he suddenly felt that he needed to protect Duraxi and that no matter how absurd or stupid Duraxi was , he needed to protect him.
Even if the opponent was the princess of the Dark-Elf Kingdom, he wouldn't be afraid.
However, now that Nasis thought back to his actions at that time, he felt afraid. He was just a small SR Enchanter, and Anno was the Princess of the Dark-Elf Kingdom, the only daughter of the Dark-Elf Queen. Besides, the Dark-Elf Queen was also the founder of the auction house in the Pharmacist Tower.
Could an Enchanter fight the Queen of a giant Kingdom? Yes, It was possible, however it could only happen if he was an SSR Enchanter or higher.
Right now, he was just an SR Enchanter. When Nasis thought about it, he felt that his actions were extremely stupid. He of course knew that the Senate wanted to annul Anno and Duraxi's engagement, but he was still protecting Duraxi.
That said, Nasis was going against the Council of Elders, no, to be more precise, Nasis's defense of Duraxi was an act of declaring war on the honor of the Dark-Elf Kingdom.
He didn't understand himself anymore. Why did he act so stupidly? Nasis sighed, and secretly hoped for an opportunity to find Anno and apologize.
If Hikaru knew what Nasis was thinking then he would surely know the problem he was facing.
That's right, it was the protagonist's aura that caused Nasis's IQ to drop. It also made Nasis unable to control his actions and thoughts.
However, one thing Hikaru didn't think of was the influence of the protagonist's aura. Nasis should not have doubted his actions, but now he was regretting protecting Duraxi.
The Dark-Elf Queen's fury was something not even an SR Enchanter could withstand.
Nasis went inside, looked around and did not see Anno and Hikaru, and he began to feel unwell. However, as he looked towards the precious living room above, he immediately realized that he was wrong.
Anno's status was extremely noble, so she was unable to sit with ordinary customers so she could only sit in the VIP room.
Duraxi saw Nasis looking at the VIP room and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Ack!" Duraxi's voice startled him a bit, he looked at Duraxi and replied: "Nothing, I just had a feeling that Anno and the young man earlier are probably in the other room."
Duraxi frowned and looked at the VIP room, he said loudly: "Huh! Anno, wait for me. I will definitely kill Hikaru and the entire clan behind him so that you will be free."
Himari was walking close to Duraxi's side so she could clearly hear what he said. After listening to Duraxi's declaration, she concluded that Duraxi was an extremely conceited man who feels that what he thinks is right, regardless of any advice or information given to him . As long as he thinks he's right, anyone who says he's wrong is his enemy.
Nasis of course heard Duraxi's words, he scratched his head, and wondered if helping Duraxi was the right thing to do?
Despite his anger, Duraxi still found a seat for himself, with Nasis and Himari sitting beside him. Nasis sat on his right, while Himari sat on his left.
…
In the VIP room, Anno suddenly frowned, then she stood up and said: "Hikaru, I have some work to do, can you wait for me for a few minutes?"
Hikaru looked at Anno and smiled: "Of course, you don't need my permission. Anno, you're free, you can do whatever you want… but, don't break the law."
Anno Was surprised to hear this, she wondered if she was free? Although Anno was the Princess of the Dark-Elf Kingdom, she had never been free.
Her mother, although the Queen, was still controlled by the Senate and every action of hers and her mother's is monitored, and her happiness is also determined by the Senate.
Free? She never thought she would be free. Anno thought that she would marry a husband decided by the senate that would benefit the Dark-Elf Kingdom.
But after meeting Hikaru, she didn't understand why her mind changed.
She even dared to ask for her own happiness, and her mother supported her.
Now, upon listening to Hikaru saying that she was free, she felt extremely happy. Sometimes, happiness was as simple as that. To love the one you love, and to be free to live the way you like.
Although the Senate would probably oppose her and Hikaru, at least, she saw hope.
Anno looked at Hikaru who was smiling and said while sobbing softly: "Thank you, Hikaru."
"Hm?" Hikaru saw Anno crying and frowned, he remembered that his words didn't cause Anno to shed tears.
Anno looked at his confused face and smiled, she felt that Hikaru was so stupid right now that he was cute. Anno smiled and said, "Hikaru, thank you for showing up. Like I said, as long as there's a place in your heart for me, no matter how small, as long as you have my image in your heart it is enough. It doesn't matter how many women you have, I will accept and live in harmony with them."
Hikaru frowned, he didn't understand why Anno said that.
Anno also didn't explain, she said: "Okay, don't worry. I'll be back in a little while."
After saying that, Anno used the teleportation magic available in the room and disappeared. The room then became quiet.
Hikaru sighed then contacted Himari.
Hikaru: [Looks like you succeeded.]
Himari: [Hahaha… Master, this quest is too difficult.]
Hikaru: [Hm? Difficult? I see that you easily approached Duraxi.]
Himari: [Master, do you know that just seeing Duraxi's smile makes me want to vomit?]
Hikaru: [...]
He didn't know what to say, however, when Hikaru remembered Duraxi's smile, he felt… really nauseous.
Hikaru: [Okay, try to hold it in . What kind of person do you think Duraxi is?]
Himari: [Extremely conceited and stupid. I have met many men, but he is the only one who makes me feel nauseous and stupid.]
Hikaru nodded, he felt that Himari was right and he believed in what she said. Anyway, while on Earth, Himari climbed from the bottom of society to the height of power, and she had gotten in contact and manipulated many men.
Hikaru suddenly thought of something, he asked: [Did Duraxi ask you anything?]
Himari saw Hikaru's message and knew what he was talking about: [Master, don't worry. When I was on Earth, I had many methods to help me look like a clean girl. In this world, I have a skill to help me become a clean girl, even if I am being checked, you wouldn't find anything out of the ordinary.]
Hikaru saw Himari's message and could only keep silent, as he secretly praised Himari for being a genius.
Hikaru: [Good, if you have any other information please send it to me.]
Himari: [Master, please be assured, I know what I need to do.]
Hikaru then ended the conversation, he felt that Himari did better than he expected. He thought it would take a long time for her to gain Duraxi's trust .
However, Hikaru was wrong. Perhaps he underestimated Himari's abilities or overestimated Duraxi's caution. Anyway, Himari succeeded, now only Petran and Sherwin remained.
Hikaru said in his heart, "Maybe… I have a chance to win against the main character."
As soon as this thought appeared, Hikaru immediately shook his head, dismissing the thought. He felt that his thinking was dangerous, if he kept thinking that everything was easy then he would surely fail.
About 30 minutes later, the auction started. At this time, Anno also appeared in the VIP room. She didn't hold his hand but sat on his lap, and placed her head on his chest.
Hikaru was startled but didn't refuse, perhaps, he was gradually accepting Anno.
Anno's scent entered his nose, it wasn't a strong perfume, but the scent was very gentle, and this made Hikaru a little comfortable.
Anno, who was on his chest, made his heart quicken.
Although the room they were in could see the entire auction house, and everyone in the auction house could not see inside the room. Even the inside of the room was extremely well soundproofed.
However, the fact that the two of them were intimate while there were so many people sitting outside made him a little scared, but mixed with the fear there was a strange feeling of excitement.
Anno too, her face turned red but she didn't stop. Anno's hand stroked Hikaru's chest, her dreamy eyes seemed to be thinking about embarrassing things.
Hikaru then hugged Anno tightly.
Anno, who was Suddenly hugged by Hikaru, was a little startled. She was embarrassed but she did not resist. She loved the feeling of being enveloped by Hikaru's warmth.
Anno suddenly raised her head, her dreamy eyes filled with greed as if telling Hikaru to do something.
Hikaru also lowered his head, his lips touching Anno's. As soon as she felt the breath from Hikaru's lips, Anno immediately stretched out her fragrant tongue to pry open his teeth like an experienced warrior.
Although Hikaru was hugging Anno, at this moment, it seemed that Anno was the one taking the initiative. He didn't resist. On the contrary, He liked the feeling of being on the receiving side.
The two tongues were like two snakes entwined with each other. Suddenly, Hikaru sensed something and opened his eyes.
He saw Selvih sitting on the bed, her face as red as a ripe apple as she watched him and Anno kiss. However, Selvih put her index finger to her mouth, signaling Hikaru to be quiet.
Hikaru: "..."
