Chapter 252 Who is the main actor?
"Of course…" Alec said arrogantly and firmly: "I will definitely make you extremely satisfied."
"Good!" Miconia smiled and replied: "I need to control the auction. I hope next time I can talk to you more."
"Okay, I'll wait here. Anyway, I need money urgently to pay off my debt. Ah, no, what I mean is… I need money to buy more ingredients to support my cultivation and preparation of medicinal herbs."
Miconia did not answer; she just smiled and nodded, then left. Alec looked at Miconia's buttocks, wrapped tightly by the skirt that swayed with each step, and licked his lips, his eyes filled with greed.
'Hm… This woman is as charming as a Sucubus. She also possesses angelic beauty and high status...'
'Woman, you will become my woman. Very soon, you will clearly see my talent and potential.'
"Alec, that woman is very dangerous." Suddenly, Medos spoke up.
Hearing this, Alec was annoyed and asked: "Why?" I feel like she is very normal."
Medos: "…"
'Damn it! Has lust blinded you?' Medos silently cursed in his heart.
However, he tried to calm down and said: "Her eyes carry a bit of seduction magic, which can easily make you lose the ability to think carefully when facing her."
"Master Medos, I feel like you're thinking too much." Alec sighed and shook his head: "I have nothing in my hands right now, so why would she use seduction magic on me?"
"Besides… if she used that kind of magic on me, it means that she noticed me and wanted to attract my attention."
"I feel… I can hold her in the palm of my hand."
Medos: "…" ( ; ￣ Д ￣ )
He really didn't understand where Alec got that confidence from. Even a fool could sense that the woman was seducing Alec and bringing him into a prepared cage.
"You… okay, when she tricks you, I won't save you."
"Hahaha… Master Medos, I feel like you're thinking too much. I definitely won't be fooled by her, and besides... I feel like she's starting to take an interest in me." Alec said, smiling.
"As long as I reveal my potential in the future... she will definitely be more interested in me; she might even love me."
"At that time, hahaha… no matter how much money I need or how many resources I need to cultivate, she will give it to me."
Medos sighed when he heard that. He was so depressed that he didn't want to advise Alec anymore.
…
In the hallway, Miconia walked in front; behind her was an old man wearing a black butler's outfit, bowing his head as he spoke: "Miss, why do you hate that young man so much?"
"Heh?!" Miconia looked surprised and asked: "Why do you say that?"
The old butler sighed and said: "Normally, the auction fee is only 5–10% depending on the value of the slave being auctioned, but you told him it was 15%."
"Besides… the young lady's eyes are filled with contempt; even a fool can see that you hate that young man very much."
"Hahahahaha…" Miconia covered her mouth and smiled: "Butler, you understand me very well."
"Of course…" The old butler clasped his hands behind his back and calmly said: "I have followed you for nearly 60 years; of course I understand you very well."
"Besides… The person the lady is really interested in has already arrived."
Hearing what the old butler said, Miconia stopped walking, tilted her head, and glanced at him: "What do you mean..."
The housekeeper brought up the newspaper from the previous day, and on the first page was an article about Lathel.
"It is Duke Lathel…"
"Ah! It seems… you really understand me very well." Miconia smiled and said: "Butler, what kind of person do you think he is?"
The old butler rubbed his chin, frowned, and said: "I feel like he is a bit cowardly, or... he has some giant plan."
"Hm… speak clearly." Miconia walked and talked.
The old butler following behind her explained: "I told someone to investigate the situation at that time. At first, when Duke Lathel was tested for his talent, the crystal ball behaved strangely."
"But then, Duke Lathel did not agree to re-take the test with another more advanced crystal ball; instead, he spoke of his own talent."
"However, what makes everyone confused is that the talent that Duke Lathel mentioned is very low, even lower than that of normal magicians."
"But during the war with the Fire Drake, Duke Lathel showed a personality and strength that were completely superior to the others."
"Currently, other kingdoms and families consider Duke Lathel to be the super genius of this generation."
Hearing that, Miconia sneered: "Huh! It seems… those idiots really want to kill him."
"Very good…" She licked her lips, her eyes filled with interest: "I also want to see if… the person I'm interested in can really withstand the attacks of those stupid people or not."
"If he dies… then he is not worthy to be my man."
"But… if he can still live… I can give him a chance to serve me."
The old butler heard that and sighed: "I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to approach him."
"Hm?! What do you mean…"
"The investigation had results that exceeded our expectations." The butler continued: "He is a student of the Fifth Elder, Lilith; moreover, the Principal of the Magic Academy, Farmyrth, also intends to accept him as a student."
"Miss… This person is not simple. It seems he is not as friendly and kind as he appears on the outside."
"I also hope I'm wrong. If not… a person who could be protected by both the Fifth Elder of Enchanter Tower and the Principal of Karol Magic Academy, I'm afraid… he would be even more terrifying than the Red Queen of Karol."
Miconia suddenly stopped walking, and she smiled with excitement: "Hahahaha… that makes it even more interesting. If he is too weak or too ordinary, it will make me feel bored."
"That… will be more interesting. Butler, this world is like a giant stage; it's just... we don't know who the main actors are yet."
"Yes…" The old butler bowed his head and replied: "I understand."
"Ah!" Miconia suddenly remembered something, smiled, and asked: "Is Amleth still in this city?"
"Yes!" "She is still at Laleth Garden," said the old butler. Recently, there was a rumour that she was in love with a certain man. However, we do not have any information about this."
"The other day, Doran went to see her, then…"
"He was almost beaten to death, right?" Miconia smiled and asked.
"That's right, miss. He had all of his four limbs broken, then he was thrown out into the street like a dog." The old housekeeper said: "Then…Dorothy saved him."
Miconia snorted contemptuously: "Huh! Doran is still as stupid as ever; does he think that his family is still the powerhouse it was 1,000 years ago?
"Okay, Butler, you did very well. Arrange for me to sit next to Lathel; I want to see if he is really like you think or just a lucky guy."
"Yes, miss." The butler bowed his head and spoke respectfully.
…
At the door of the auction room, Lathel suddenly shivered, feeling a bit worried and insecure.
"Young master, is something wrong?" Akna asked, confused.
Lathel frowned: "No, I just feel a little cold."
"Cold? This place has air conditioning magic, so it is always warm and cool." Akna tilted her head and said.
"Nothing. Let's go in." Lathel shook his head and said, Recently, he often felt cold and shivered without understanding why.
Before, it only happened once every 2 or 3 days. But recently, it has been happening more often, and he had been having this feeling twice today.
Lathel sighed. He sensed that something was really about to happen, and this was not because he was overthinking.
Entering the auction room, he was given the privilege of sitting in VIP room 1. After all, he was a Duke, so this small privilege could still be had.
This room was not large, but it had two very large and comfortable sofas. In front of them, a curtain was drawn, but Lathel could still see the stage below.
"This…"
"Young master, this magic curtain is used to shield this room. From inside the room, you can clearly see the situation outside, but people outside cannot hear or see anything inside the room." Akna explained."
"Ah! So…" Lathel continued: "How do we let them know we want to pay a higher price?"
Akna walked next to a sofa and pointed to the handle of the chair: "This place has a kind of magic. You just need to say the price, and the price will be displayed outside. ."
"Ah!" Lathel nodded, showing he understood. He did not expect that, although this was a magical world, everything was quite similar to Earth.
If Earth is modern and convenient thanks to machines and electronics, then this world is convenient thanks to magic.
Lathel sat on the chair, feeling extremely comfortable. Soon, a plate of fruit, cakes, and a pot of tea appeared on the small table next to the chair.
Akna was not surprised to see this. She bowed her head and poured tea for him, then stood next to him.
Lathel looked at her and said: "Akna, sit down; there is no need to serve me standing."
"Sorry, Young Master, I can't sit." Akna shook her head and said: "That chair is for someone else; the servant can only stand to serve the master."
"Heh?! I thought I was the only one in this room." Lathel was startled; he did not think that there would be another person sitting there.
"This is a normal thing." Akna bowed her head and said: "Only members of the Royal Family can sit in private rooms."
"Moreover… if the Queen wants to join in this auction, she doesn't have to come; she can just sit at the palace to participate in this auction."
Lathel was completely silent. He felt that he was really too rustic. Luckily, Akna reminded him; otherwise... he was afraid he would have been laughed at by others.
Knock! Knock!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Before Lathel and Akna could answer, the door opened.
A woman with short silver hair and an old housekeeper walked inside.
"Ah! I'm not bothering you, am I?"
