The Villainess Intends to Have It All (13 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 71

“Thank you all for your patience! We shall now immediately begin the second round of the auction.”

Just as the nobles finished their champagne, the auctioneer returned to the podium and commenced the auction.

“Since you’ve waited so long, the second part of the auction will feature many special items.”
