Chapter 432 Auction trap (9)
After I finished bidding, I sat back down in my seat.
Shaka looked at me with a raised brow, but I just ignored him as I waited for the item I had won to arrive.
But before that, there was another nuisance.
"Count Zwein, is there something special about that small bag that you would pay this much to buy it?"
This was a voice that came from beside my room. This was a voice that came from the room next door.
It was the eldest prince who had suddenly asked this question.
I turned to see that he was leaning on the edge of the balcony, looking over at me.
I just calmly looked at him and said, "I have no idea. I was in need of a coin purse and I felt that this pouch looked good. It's a magic item too, so it'll be good to show off to others."
The eldest prince looked at me with slightly narrowed eyes when he heard this.
The doubt in his eyes were clear, but there wasn't anything that he could say.
After all, there was nothing wrong with what I had just said.
A noble spending large amounts of money to show off like this was normal. Not to mention that I was a noble that had large amounts of money because of the trade deal that I had with the dwarves.
So for me to spend a large amount to show off now was just the perfect thing to do.
After a long moment of silence, the eldest prince said with a smile, "Then I hope that you'll have the chance to show off that coin pouch of yours."
I just looked back at him with a smile as I said, "Thank you, your highness."
Both of us returned to our private space after that.
After he had turned around, the eldest prince looked at the butler that came with him and said in a cold voice, "Go and inform them of our friend's presence at this auction. I'm sure that they will be very interested."
The butler didn't even ask any questions as he walked out of the room.
The eldest prince sat down with a satisfied cold smile on his face.
As I watched the eldest prince walk away, I could already guess what he was planning to do.
But of course, this was what I wanted to see.
The plan was to draw attention to draw out the ones that would want to hurt me.
If I could use the eldest prince to draw them out, that would make it easier for me.
So there was no reason to use the eldest prince if he was willing to be used like this.
It didn't take long after sitting down for a knock to come from the door.
After I said, "Come in." There was a beautiful woman that walked into the room with an item on a pillow.
This was the same beautiful woman who had displayed this item on the stage, she was the one that had brought this item over.
As for what this item was, it was the magic bag that I had just brought.
She came over with that item and then presented it to me. As she did, she posed her body in such a way that I could see the sensitive parts of her in full.
But I just ignored this and reached out to take the magic bag from the pillow.
After I took it, I completely ignored her as I held that magic bag up in front of my face, looking at it from different angles.
The beautiful woman wasn't bothered by this at first as she waited for me to finish inspecting it.
But then after I had finished inspecting it, I still didn't spare her a glance.
That was when she became worried.
With a cough, this beautiful woman said, "Your lordship, if there is anything else that I can do for you, please don't hesitate to tell me." Then as if she felt she needed to emphasize, she crossed her arms in front of her chest to emphasize her breasts which weren't small in the first place before saying, "Anything at all."
I just calmly looked at her and asked, "You're still here?"
There was a look of shock that appeared on her face as she didn't understand what was happening.
When she made her intentions this clear, he still didn't seem to care…
She had never encountered this situation before.
So she didn't know what she should do in this situation.
"I, this, I, this…" The beautiful woman stammered a bit without being able to say a complete sentence.
I just looked right at her and said, "Can you please leave? I wish to be alone right now."
Now that I've made my intentions clear, the beautiful woman didn't dare stay.
After all, I was someone that she didn't dare offend.
But as she walked away, I seemed to have heard something.
"Does he swing the other way?..."
"Pft."
I heard more snickering coming from the side and I immediately turned to look at Shaka, but he already had a straight look on his face.
As expected of someone who works in this line of work, his poker face really was something else.
I just calmly said, "We're not here for that kind of thing, are we? We should focus on what we have to do."
He looked at me with a teasing smile as he said, "I don't mind if you want to have a bit of fun before then. I can leave for a bit if that's what you want."
My face turned dark when I heard this as I said, "Stop playing around."
Shaka just gave a chuckle before giving a nod and turning back to watch the auction.
I couldn't help giving a secret sigh after all of that.
The nobles of this world really were giving all nobles a bad reputation that these women are just throwing themselves at them like this…
I couldn't stop the headache that was developing because of this…
