Chapter 29: The Auction (2)

Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "Great, this is going to be a very good lot, thank you, Professor!" I think this should be the first female-only weapon in this world, whether it's as a collectible, or for some kind of role-playing game that some perverted aristocrats use......"

Telling Keith to ask the butler of the Marquis's Mansion to prepare a box for the sword, Leo walked towards Auston's room with the bayonet back in its scabbard, and he needed to ask the Marquis to help him think of another story

"Role-playing? What's that? Several people who were puzzled by Leo's words couldn't help but look at each other

In the end, it was Ardalyan who broke the silence and waved his hand at the others

"I'm going back to my room to sleep, it seems that love is indeed a bottle of poison, my lord...... In my opinion, no matter how much that Auston guy is modified, it's just a weapon."

Keith, who was about to go out, shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, looked at Finn and the professor who was still struggling with role-playing, and said, "This time, I think the elf is right......

**********************

After tossing and turning in the middle of the night, Auston finally finished his new story, and Leo, who was forcibly pulled to accompany him, fell asleep on the table next to him with his chin in one hand, and regretted in his heart that he had to be crazy to think of this bad idea......

Finally, seeing that the sky was already white, and Leo was about to go back to his room to sleep desperately, Auston put down the quill in his hand with red eyes and stood up with a fanatical and reverent expression

"It's done, it's finally done, this story will be so poignant that it will make countless resentful women crazy, and make men desperately dig out their last gold coin! I'm a genius, huh? Maybe I chose the wrong path in the first place? ”

"Ah~~" yawned heavily, Leo staggered to his feet, he couldn't hold on for a minute, ignored the marquis's introspection, and patted the other party's shoulder sleepily

"Well, good, the rest will be for you Auston, there is still some time before dawn, let people send it to the auction house with your story, remember to write my name, I have to go and rest......"

"Wait Leo, don't you want to be the first to see this story?" Auston was a little anxious

"No, I just want to sleep now, Auston, don't wake me up even if the gods come down before the auction starts......"

**********************

The knock on the door and the inaudible shout of "Knock~Knock~" made Leo a little irritable, turned over and covered his face with a soft velvet quilt, and continued the dream, the voice paused for a while, probably because there was no response in the room, which made the people outside a little anxious

This time the percussion became louder and the tempo was quicker, and the voice of the butler Batar could be heard faintly from outside the soundproofed wooden door......

The continuous sound made Leo no longer able to fall asleep completely, and he turned over or got up with a thick sense of getting up, but his expression was still a little blank, and there was a faint pain in the position of his temples, which was a symptom of obvious sleep deprivation

Straightening up, his eyes struggled with the quilt and the door for a long time, and then he sat directly on the edge of the bed with bare feet, and said weakly

"Come in, Batar, your voice is so loud that even the bears in the northern collar hibernating can hear it, is it time?"

With the words, the door of the house opened silently, and the housekeeper Batar, who was dressed in black, walked in carefully, and after slowly getting acquainted, he also knew that his new master was not the kind of person with a violent temper, and after bowing deeply, he said in a rigid tone

"I'm sorry to disturb your sleep, my lord, there is still a lot of time before the auction begins, but the Duke of Lancaster and your friend Earl Antonis have arrived in the hall of the Marquis Palace, accompanied by Miss Elena, I think His Excellency the Duke wants to wait for you to go to the venue"

"Elena is here too?" Hearing this name, Leo's spirits were much more excited, and he rubbed his face vigorously and ordered, "You go and tell the duke that I will be there later, and let the servants come in and help me change my clothes."

After thinking about it, looking at the butler who bowed down to receive the order, Leo added, "It's cold outside, if the Duke hasn't had breakfast, tell the kitchen to make some mutton soup, I'll eat with them later."

"I'm afraid not, my lord" Batar lowered his head and forced a smile "It's past noon now, and it's less than three hours before the auction starts, I think Your Excellency the Duke must have no request for a meal at this time, my lord"

"Okay, it's all Auston's fault," patted his head vigorously, and Leo motioned for the butler to go and prepare, and then retracted his feet back into the bed, although the fireplace was hot, but the cherry wood floor was still a little cold

**********************

Leo, who soon changed his clothes under the service of the servants, finally recovered his spirit after washing his face with cold water despite the objections of the butler, and followed Batar to the living room

"Hello Your Excellency the Duke, Antonis and beautiful Miss Elena, yesterday I went to rest almost in the wee hours of the morning due to some trivial matters, and I am sorry to keep you waiting......"

"No, don't apologize my friend, young people need more sleep to keep them healthy," the Duke of Lancaster took the initiative to stand up, hugged Leo gently, and pulled her to sit next to him and said with a smile

"Leo, the Lancaster family has their own private room in the Imperial Capital Auction House, and the purpose of our visit this time is to invite you and His Excellency Auston to participate in this auction, of course, if you don't mind."

"It is my pleasure, Your Excellency"

After politely expressing his gratitude, Leo bowed slightly to Antonis, and then looked at Elena, the girl was also looking at him with big eyes at this time, and after touching Leo's fiery gaze, she stuck out the tip of her tongue and lowered her head a little shyly

Auston next to him smiled and said to the Duke of Lancaster, "Your Excellency the Duke, you may not know that this time Leo took out another rare weapon to participate in the auction, we gave up the rest to prepare for these, I hope today's auction will give you some surprises"

"Oh? Really, Leo."

After receiving a definite answer, the Duke looked at Leo in surprise, "You always surprise people, I hope it wasn't the news I delivered that made you so embarrassed!" But in that case, the Lancasters would never mind having another weapon that could match their armor."

"Father, I'm afraid that even our family will be difficult to auction Leo's weapons this time, early in the morning, someone saw Peilan's sissy taking people to the auction house for inspection, presumably our Second Prince His Royal Highness will also participate in this auction, in this case......"

"It's nothing, Antonis" shook his head and refused Leo's offer to give him a weapon alone, and the Duke looked at his only grandson

"You have to understand the child, the honor of the Lancaster family is not obtained by flattery, countless ancestors have paid a lot of efforts for our status today, even at the cost of their lives, even Your Majesty must maintain enough respect for us!"

"As for Rolf?"

Shaking his head, the Duke glanced at the sky and said to Leo and Auston, "You two can prepare now, the carriage of the Duke's Palace is waiting outside the door, we can talk in detail on the way, presumably Leo still has some questions about the auction process of the Empire......"
