Chapter 20-1

Hanette calmly put down the sign with a smile.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

She had secretly brought the funds she had saved up just in case.

Of course, she had not necessarily thought that she must help Sion, but she found herself holding the sign without realizing it.

Well I might regret it, but I have no choice.

Hanette looked at her necklace with a bitter expression.

He bought this for her with the hope of making her happy.

Regardless of the necklace was worth, if his intentions were genuine, she should accept It.

If it werent for this necklace, I wouldnt have bid on that item.

The necklace is worth 30 gold coins.

Of course, its actual value was probably only worth one gold coin, but it was still good enough.

Since Sion had given her something, Hanette felt that she should return the favor.

5, 4 Oh! 270! The bidding has reached 270 gold coins!

Hanette hesitated as she tapped the sign.

Sion had been unable to bid due to a lack of funds.

However, their competitor had delayed their bid until the last moment.

Furthermore, they had reduced their bids from 50 to 10, likely due to reaching their limit or feeling the pressure of the bid.

If I push a little harder, I can win.

With confidence, Hanette raised the sign.

Since she had started, she wanted to see it through properly.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to lose the item she had bid on despite participating.

7, 6 280! 280 Gold coins!

. Hey, you dont have to go this far

Please be quiet. Im concentrating.

Hanette murmurs quietly while staring at the auctioneer.

From now on, she couldnt even give the slightest hint of hesitation.

That way, she could press the opponent and win the bid more smoothly.

4, 3 Oh! 290 Ahh! 300! 300 Gold coins!

It was something she did because she wanted to, and in the end, it helped Sion.

Of course, some of the funds she had saved up would disappear, but since her mind was much more at ease, there was nothing to cling to.

Its not like you.

Do you think so too? We finally have something in common.

You might regret it.

Thats right. Im already regretting it. But what can I do? Ive already done it.

You should have somewhere to spend it, too.

If you think I used a lot of it today, then youre right. Im not rich, but I dont live without anything either.

Sion couldnt bring himself to speak.

It was money she had accumulated while playing the fool and had received criticism from many people.

Of course, that method couldnt be called right. But it was something she had done after making considerable resolve.

But since she made selling herself (personality), he couldnt help but feel a little guilty.

You also did something that wasnt like you Lets call it even since we both did something for each other. Is that okay? Hanette

Are you talking about a gift? Sion

A gift is a gift, but some of the things you did were a bit much. I was too surprised to even say thank you. Hanette

Hmm are you really grateful though? Sion

Haha! Would someone like you even have a grateful thought? How can you afford to give me 30 gold coins? Hanette

I was almost moved, but now youre back to your old self. Sion

Oh, you can still be moved. Even I thought I was too merciful. Hanette

Sion chuckled as he watched Demons gloves move further away.

After this auction ended, he would pay the price and receive the auction item.

Preparations were now complete, and all he had to do was go to the hidden location and pull the sword himself.

I have to repay the money.

Sion would help Hanette with her plan if she needed it, but he had no intention of interfering.

This world had to move towards a predetermined conclusion.

The protagonist, heroine, and a few strong people would be at the center of it.

I have to set a date. Will one day be enough?
