As it was the first major event they prepared, the attention of many people was focused on it. However, if a big problem had arisen, such as the disappearance of the magical tool, all the efforts made so far would have been in vain.
Not only did Erzé not like and avoided her, but she also feared her. Valia had to express her gratitude properly since her help was crucial.
“It’s really fortunate.”
“Viscountess Kinétra did a great job.”
Watching the auction progress calmly, Susan and Rachel also sighed in relief.
The auction proceeded quickly, and eventually, the magical tool sponsored by Viscount Caprié was presented.
More fiercely contested than any other item that had appeared so far.
‘Honestly, I never thought they would put up such an item.’
It wasn’t an extremely powerful magical tool, but in certain situations, it was more useful than anything else.
This small box, presented by Viscount Caprié, was a magical tool with the ability of ‘lock,’ making it impossible for anyone but the owner to open it by activating a formula inside. Of course, the opportunity to use it was only once.
‘Could it be useful for Khalid at some point?’
Even though the ability was one-time use, she felt a bit intrigued.
Thinking so, Valia unconsciously turned her head to find Khalid.
At the end of her gaze, she saw Khalid standing next to Erzé.
They were merely watching the auction, but the scene of Erzé and Khalid together became a wound for Valia in itself.
Valia quickly averted her eyes from them.
‘Khalid is okay. He’s not like Raul…’
But.
Is he really different?
The feeling kept becoming more distant.
Rachel, who had been helping with the cleanup, approached Valia.
“Princess, everything has been finished.”
“You’ve worked hard until late.”
“No, it was fun!”
Rachel raised her arms confidently as she spoke.
“Thank you for saying that, Rachel.”
Just as Valia was about to express her sincere gratitude to Rachel, someone approached them while they were chatting.
“Princess Valia.”
It was Viscount Caprié.
“I really enjoyed today’s event.”
“It’s too much to say that. I feel sorry if I troubled Viscountess Erzé too much.”
“Hahaha. No, it’s not like that. It was a task my daughter wanted to help with.”
The viscount’s attitude was courteous.
Rachel looked nervously at her father, wondering what he would say.
“Moreover, since my daughter will probably owe you a lot in the future, I thought it would be rude not to express my greetings to the princess, so I took the liberty of bringing it up.”
“Oh, I’m actually receiving a lot of help from your daughter.”
“Thank you for saying that, Princess.”
Viscount Caprié owned fertile lands in the south and several gem mines. Moreover, he held a certain level of influence in central politics.
If she could bring him to her side, it would undoubtedly be a significant strength.
In her previous life, Viscount Caprié remained silent without expressing any opinions when Raul ascended to the throne.
He was the epitome of neutrality, not supporting or opposing Raul.
“I hope we can see Viscount often in the future.”
With a meaningful statement, Valia exchanged polite words with Viscount Caprié and Rachel and returned to the mansion.
‘…It’s not the right time yet.’
It would be great if she could persuade Viscount Caprié.
Watching them leave, Valia let out a small sigh.
And the most important task remained.
“Viscountess Kinétra Erzé.”
“Princess!”
Approaching awkwardly from Khalid’s side, Erzé, Valia asked with affection.
“I’m sorry it’s gotten late. I made you wait longer than expected.”
“No, I’m really fine…”
Erzé, fidgeting with her fingers, blurred the end of her words.
Then, in passing, she looked at Valia’s face, then suddenly, she was startled, bowing her head deeply.
“Thank you so much for today. Thanks to you, I was able to avoid a difficult situation. So, I really want to repay you. If there’s anything you want, please let me know.”
Valia wished to quickly conclude this matter and not see Erzé’s face anymore since there was no connection between them. After giving a proper repayment, she thought she could easily pass off today’s events like a happening.
“I’m really fine…”
Encouraging Erzé, who hesitated, to speak freely, Valia smiled. In response, Erzé grabbed Valia’s hand with her fidgeting fingers and muttered very softly.
“Um, then… If the palace owner allows it, I heard that staying in the royal palace for a few days is allowed…”
“Huh?”
Valia, surprised by unexpected words, asked in confusion.
However, Erzé lifted her deeply bowed head, met Valia’s eyes, and clearly stated what she wanted with a steady and distinct voice.
“If it’s possible, could I have the opportunity to stay in the royal palace for a few days?”

Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
