Creator of Death: True Darkness
Auction

Big auction, Nightingale.

Edward bowed respectfully, while Raka was seen standing in the distance from the balcony clutching a glass full of drinks. "Your majesty, as you have decreed, all the preparations have been completed"

"Oh? What about the guests?"

"Yes. They had come, and some of them were beginning to look forward to the opening of the event. But, three guests you want.."

"I get it, uncle, what do you think?"

Albert just smiled wryly. "Hmm? You made this plan yourself and only now are you asking my opinion huh!?"

Raka shifted her gaze quickly, and with a slight guilty expression, "Ah, uncle I'm really sorry, I mean..well, you know? You're pretty busy this end"

"Hmm? That only? You reckon? Because who am I to be busy huh?"

"Well! Sigh. all right, I lost. I'm sorry, uncle, however, I've had enough to estimate their actions anyway, because only, I asked for your help this time"

"Well, you're sensitive enough to know how they behave, but what exactly do you want to do huh?"

"Well, it's a little embarrassing to talk about that I'm, kind of worried about my family's situation"

Raka's face looks a little complicated, with a serious look. And a little part of his brow that looks wrinkled.

"Sigh. I'm afraid if the desire to open the barrier is opposed"

Albert bit his lips. His eyes flared while his right hand clenched hard.

"Who!? Who told you that? Tskkk! Who would he dare to tease one of the seven great banner continents!?"

Raka's blue-eyed manic seemed to be widened, he knew that this would happen, but he had no idea if the result would be this big.

"Haha, you're really great" he said with a small laugh a moment later.

"Huh!? Do you think the relationship between Azasky and Arcnight is only that limited huh? After all, Azasky and Arcnight had been part of the two great banners since they were first established, and it was by no means a small relationship, Raka. if it was just a small relationship, then it was certain, after all, there will be no marriage between kingdoms."

"Ah. That's right"

"But still, the existence of my kingdom and this miasma will affect the state of the continent as a whole, even though we have found the root of the problem and the solution, according to my assumptions, there will be contradictions about it later."

"Until the next stage, they will question the medicine we have created to deal with this miasma, then try their best to bring us down. Well, uncle, you understand this better than I do, right? Even if it was the empire itself, still, if the other nobles refused then the result would still not be"

"Hmm, that's power,"

Albert glanced at Raka, "so what are you going to do?"

"Ah. If the rejecter is only worried about the danger of his miasma, then the answer is obvious right? That's easy"

Albert nodded confirming Raka's words.

"So? What's your answer, young leader?" He mocked Raka.

"Haha, if he uses power to oppress, can't I? I mean, well, it all depends on the troops that are being brought in"

"Arcnight wouldn't be a peaceful country like him, if you were their leader"

"Because of that, I'm number two"

"Alright, in that case, I think it's good that you don't waste your time just waiting for those three old rascals"

"That's what I think"

...●●●...

The auction began.

Visitors dominated by nobles and businessmen filled the mansion.

Some of them came just to see see, others put up prices for some of the luxury and rare items auctioned.

Albert who was watching from the balcony of the mansion looked stunned when he saw the noble carriage with various different royal logos coming. "Oh? Looks like they're still coming even though it's too late huh, really shameless"

The corner of Raka's mouth twitched. He smiled wryly at this moment. "Ah, I don't know what kind of grudge you guys have, but I think that's my decision a little wrong"

"Hmph! I have absolutely no grudge against them, Raka. but well, their nature is that.."

"Ahaha, I think I know how you feel, uncle"

A man with long blonde hair and with a formal suit bowed in salute to Raka and Albert.

"Your highness,"

Raka got off the balcony where she was standing.

"Ah, let's start the show, uncle, you're free to drink tonight"

"Hm? Sure was! I think you should get back at me" Albert said with a sly smile.

Taps. Taps. Taps.

Raka stepped her feet in the long hallway leading to the auction tribune.

"First show, start"

Say it with a smile.
