The Thanks And Gifts Are Over; It's Time To Make A Proper Exit

“Once again, thank you for your generosity, Miss Lucia Eucanit; at first I never expected it would sell for such a high price!”

Young Master Naiye emphasized once more the importance of this auction, making Lucia Eucanit and the other young ladies around her feel the weight of the occasion!

“No, it’s nothing, magical technology is well known, and I’m honored to have bought it.”

Young Master Naiye and Lucia were still politely exchanging courtesies.

But the heiress Lucia Eucanit probably believed that Young Master Naiye was truly being modest.

After all, from his earlier manner, Young Master Naiye’s gratitude looked very sincere, and everyone fully believed it.

In fact, Young Master Naiye simply wanted to leave.

“It’s getting late; I must be going. Allow me to take my leave.”

After one last graceful, dignified bow, Young Master Naiye gave Lucia a gentle smile and, without waiting for her reply, turned to leave!

—Pinch! Pinch!!

Lucia Eucanit’s face tightened at the pain in her back; this time her friend’s grip from behind had been a bit too strong.

But seeing Young Master Naiye gradually walking away and being reminded by her friend!

The girl’s heart filled with resolve!

“Wait! Please wait! Young Master Naiye!”

Crimson spider-lily eyes looked back over.

That spirited, handsome, and charming figure stood still.

She actually succeeded in making Young Master Naiye stop! He turned around.

The good news was that a gentle smile still lingered on his face.

“Is there something else, Miss Lucia Eucanit?”

The bad news was that Young Master Naiye didn’t come back over; he remained at a distance, quietly looking at her.

Both polite and mindful of distance…

“……..”

The other heiresses around began once more to envy and resent Lucia.

They hadn’t expected Lucia to have the courage to invite Young Master Naiye.

Because by their status they were actually completely unqualified!

Young Master Naiye was just what everyone called him; his true identity was Duke Lycoris!

And he was one of the top figures of the entire Auriel Kingdom, while they were merely daughters of noble families.

They silently prayed that Young Master Naiye would not accept her invitation!!!

“Uh… uh, my mother is very interested in magical technology, and…”

—In the evening… dinner…!

“A-and! It’s getting late now! May I invite you to my home for dinner?”

Thump! Thump!!

The heiress’s heart was now extremely nervous and scared!

Speaking that sentence had already required all her strength and courage!

But, unfortunately…

With his crimson eyes fixed on her, Young Master Naiye showed a gentle expression.

At the same time he revealed a hint of sadness, though it was intentional.

“I’m very sorry, I must decline this invitation; please convey my apologies to your mother.”

She was rejected…

Lucia Eucanit’s mouth froze at the edge; she was at a loss.

“I already have an appointment with Miss Nia Skywing; we are to have dinner under the head chef’s hospitality, and I can’t break that appointment.”

Nia Skywing, leader of the Sky Wing Knight Order, head of the Skywing Knight Family, the Golden Knight!

She was truly someone who stood above them all!

All of these heiresses together couldn’t compare to one Nia Skywing!

“Please allow me to apologize once more, excuse me…”

Young Master Naiye once again, and for the last time, bowed politely to apologize, then left.

“Uh, o-okay… goodbye…”

Lucia Eucanit wore an expression as if she wanted to cry but had no tears, and could only extend a small hand and wave stiffly…

She said goodbye, but who knew when they’d meet again…

“……”

She could only watch Young Master Naiye’s figure leave step by step, utterly despondent.

“Tsk! Tsk, hahaha…!”

Hidden in the private room, Nia Skywing couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing!

Fortunately, this private room had been placed under silence magic by Young Master Naiye, so no sound would leak out.

Sometimes interacting with nobles is just this troublesome and real.

Because there’s always a strange sense of face and rules stamped on their foreheads.

Everyone must obey them!

In truth, Young Master Naiye and Nia were the same.

Only that, as higher-ranking people, they always had some special rights and actions.

Moreover, the core of the Auriel Kingdom is built on the principle that power reigns supreme.

If you have the ability, you can now go and challenge Queen Auriel.

And the qualification to challenge Queen Auriel is to become the Knight King!

To this day, countless knights still fight to the death over the title of Knight King!

“……..”

After waiting for a while, Nia confirmed there was no one outside.

Only then did she leave the private room—if she’d gone out earlier,

she might really have scared the heiresses half to death!

Then Nia began to look for Young Master Naiye.

He had said earlier that he had plans with her and would dine together.

She couldn’t let him break that promise!

The guard knight Spring, who had just finished two drumsticks, five burgers, three steaks, and a vegetable salad,

was slowly making her way into the ordinary auction hall that had just finished the heated auction.

She looked slow, but in fact beneath Guardian Knight Spring’s plump body lay endless energy and agility.

Since her thigh had been treated by Young Master Naiye, her body had become much lighter and more fluid than before!

Even eating felt more spirited than before!

Now she was carrying out a task for Miss Qingliya.

After the afternoon tea ended, it would be dinner time in a while.

Miss Qingliya had asked her to invite Young Master Naiye to dinner.

Not only was the maid Ming very pleased, Spring herself was also very happy!

This chubby female guard knight didn’t even realize how delighted she was to be able to eat with Young Master Naiye.

She immediately moved and headed for the auction hall!

The auction hall’s news was hot right now!

An heiress had spent five million to buy Young Master Naiye’s magical technology!!

When Spring heard this news, she was surprised.

Her mind was usually filled with nothing but food and guarding.

Because she couldn’t figure out how much food five million could buy!!!

The auction had just ended; Young Master Naiye probably hadn’t left yet.

It would be best to quickly look for him and have dinner together!

Spring quickly arrived at the auction hall and began looking for Young Master Naiye.

Spring had a very keen nose.

She could smell that Young Master Naiye carried a special scent.

It was both strong and pungent, yet also faintly elegant and mysterious.

These two conflicting scents converged on Young Master Naiye.

Very strange!

She used that scent to swiftly move down the corridor.

She immediately found Young Master Naiye around the corner on the other side; one turn and she found him!

“…!!”

Suddenly! Spring smelled another—two entirely new scents!

In fact, she didn’t need to rely solely on scent; as a female knight of unusual strength, she could keenly sense that someone else was over there!
