Chapter 146: The world’s greatest show! (5)

Does he not know what an auction is?

"We have 200,000,000. Anybody want to go higher? Madam? Your client has not said anything?

Emille de Haas was an amazing bastard for multiple reasons.

I didnt think that I would be able to continue the auction after the Imperial Crown Prince called out 200,000,000 and made everybody unable to say anything.

However, he leisurely asked the regulars their opinion and tried to up the asking price.

I picked the cloth up and thoroughly covered the tank.

Water was dripping from my head and the harp seal looked apologetic.

Its okay, it wasnt your fault. Anyway, the flow of things right now

It is currently at 200,000,000. His Royal Highness has made the bid. This is a rare demonic beast, a flawless baby that was caught on the Haas shore this morning. I guess there are no other bids. Then I guess we have our winning bid. His Royal Highness has purchased it for 200,000,000 franc!

Tap!

Emille tapped the hammer with fluid movements.

Wooooooooooow!

Applause and cheers started pouring out. I could see fans flapping and gloves moving through the darkness.

I calmly got my brain to work.

Vice Captain lisabeth said that she would inform Christelle and the crown prince that the harp seal was a divine beast.

The two of them should have figured out the situation by now.

But the crown prince paid 200,000,000 for the baby that was marked as a demonic beast instead of taking it off as an auction item.

There was only one thing that could mean.

My goodness. I was wondering who the trainer was but it was the Marquis-nim. I humbly apologize for not recognizing you. How could something like this happen

Emille quickly approached and knelt down in front of me.

He had an extremely innocent look on his face. It was amazing that someone could be so malicious.

The employees of the merchant guild stiffly came on the stage to move the harp seal.

Marquis-nim!

I then heard Ganaels voice.

I looked behind me to see the young boy and Benjamin rushing toward me with a towel.

I saw a calm David as well.

You must be out of your mind. Did you really think you could get away with mocking royalty?

I truly apologize, attendant-nim. However, who would have imagined that the Marquis-nim would be hiding on the dirty floors of the merchant guild?

Benjamin scolded Emille who used a soft and weak voice to claim his innocence.

Ganael glared at him as if he wanted to stab Emille to death with his gaze.

I silently stood up.

I did not forget to quietly whisper to David while the young boy put a large towel around me.

Please hand the divine beast to me.

Yes, your highness.

He agreed without asking anything. It was obvious why this was the case. This was the crown prince's trap.

As soon as I reveal that the harp seal is a divine beast, that bastard Emille will be imprisoned immediately for deceiving a member of the Imperial family.

I did not look at him until I got off the stage.

I just calmed an angry Percy and looked at the little guy in the water.

The ball was back in my hand.

*

The cutie, who was obviously a harp seal, and the prince both disappeared.

It was so that he could find a way to prove that it was a divine beast.

Christelle barely managed to suppress the frost forming at her fingertips.

She could not forgive that terrible merchant guild leader bastard for putting the Prince on stage and using him as a laughingstock.

However, right now was not the time to step in.

The crown prince next to her was releasing ether as hot as the temperature in a red clay room.

Yes, you are doing a good job holding yourself back too.

This is our second auction item. We have prepared a holy artifact befitting the week's theme of divine items. This is Julites Headdress.

Emilled pulled back the red silk.

A headpiece that sparkled as if it was new appeared on the center of the stage.

My goodness!

I was wondering if it was a terrible joke but it truly existed.

Is it okay to own something like that?

The auction house became ominously loud once the second item appeared.

The crown prince and the Duke and his wife also looked uncomfortable after hearing the name, Julite.

Only Christelle looked as if she had gained a great opportunity.

She pushed the paper in her pocket with her hand.

This was the document she had received this morning after playing that shitty game with that Haas bastard the other day.

She felt Cdrics gaze but ignored him.

She could not have the fire fox figure out the card she procured while holding back her disgust.

Holy artifacts are treasures that high-ranking priests or Holy Knights used during their lifetime. This was an item personally used by Julite. There are records of it being seen on the battlefield numerous times and it has been in the possession of the Empires Barons House of Bellang since her passing. The family has included a letter of guarantee with the item.

The merchant guild leader explained. The nobles started to whisper to each other.

Bellang? Oh, it must be that house. The ones who sent the twins to be the Marquis-nims attendants

Shh. Lower your voice.

As expected of a Holy artifact, it has a special ability as well. The headdress absorbs the flow of mana from outside and redistributes it, minimizing the burden and side effects on the user's body. This will be the greatest support item for someone who frequents portal traveling.

This was it. Christelle peeked to the side. The crown prince's eyes were showing interest.

I knew it.

"We will start at 100,000 franc. Madam, I see 200,000 from you. Thank you very much. Do we have 250,000? 300,000. 350,000, 400,000. We have up to 500,000 right now.

Emille skillfully guided the auction.

Isabelle quietly chuckled while listening to Christelle and the crown prince's quarrel.

The Duke felt odd while watching them.

The employees then delivered the headdress to her. The next auction item was coming on stage.

Emilled started to speak.

The third and final auction item for todaythis is probably the reason that all of you have gathered here. The artist from the Holy Kingdom This is the newest work of Haade O. Jansen. I present to you the .

Flap!

He pulled the red cloth off in one movement.

Wow!

How magnificent!

Those comments and whistling filled the venue. Only the crown prince and Crown princes gazes turned cold. It was time for Joanne to appear.

*

That's right, good boy.

Aooooooook

I calmed the harp seal as I wiped his fur.

The little guy let out a cry that sounded odd and rolled around the couch.

But my mind was calm.

The merchant guild offered us the most luxurious guest room.

Benjamin urgently sent someone to the Lords Castle to bring new clothes while Ganael boiled some tea for me.

I washed the harp seal as I showered.

He wasnt shy and seemed calm since I had already given him ether once.

Demy and Percy, who were digging into my gown, seemed quite curious about their new friend.

Squeeeee.

Piiiii

Yeah, he's still a baby. He can't even flip over.

Can harp seals usually flip over?

I did my best to recall the things I watched in a nature documentary.

However, this guy was not a real harp seal but a divine beast.

In addition, there was something else this little guy had to do for me other than flipping over.

[Will you use your ability, if thats okay?]

I opened my circle and cautiously asked.

It might be easier if I gave him a name and tamed him but I did not want to do that just because I wanted to use him.

The reason I gave names to Demy, Rhea, and Perry was to rescue them.

Percy was named because the chimney bird did not leave our side.

On the other hand, this guy was not here because he liked someone.

Aaaarrrf, aaaaarf

[Yeah, its okay. You dont need to do it. There is no rush.]

I slowly petted his back. Honestly speaking, there was quite the rush.

If the little guy never showed his power as a divine beast, the crown prince would have no choice but to give up approximately 20 billion korean won.

Crazy bastard.

[Should I give you a toy? Take a look at this. Big bro has a lot of cool things?]

I made an ether orb appear on my palm.

Although it was not as cool as Christelles icicle salad or the crown princes flame bouncing ball, the red pandas frequently chose this toy to play with as well.

Thankfully, the harp seal's eyes curled up in joy. As I smiled brightly

Growl.

My stomach let out an embarrassing noise.

Benjamin and Ganael, who had been quickly walking around doing things, stopped and looked at me.

I opened and closed my mouth without being able to say anything.

No, you see

I must have digested everything after all of that walking and washing off. Yes I am a bit hungry. But it is bearable.

The two attendants gasped at my excuse.

"What should we do, Benjamin-nim? Should we call Laurence?

Itll be too late. Lets go to the merchant guild's kitchen for now

It was at that moment.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaarf!

The harp seal raised his voice. At the same time plop! Something fell to the ground.

Demy, Percy, and well, all of us looked toward the sound out of reflex.

And we were all shocked!

Mackerel?

Anchovy?

It seems to be sea bream.

Flap flap. Living, breathing, fish were flopping around the carpet.

The area around us was dripping wet. I gasped and looked at the white divine beast.

His black round eyes were sparkling.

Aaarf!

What is this? Is he of the sea(food) attribute?

Translator's Comments

Mm I am of the see'food attribute too. I see food and I eat it.
