The Labyrinth Kingdom

Chaptre 69. The Naughty Lion.

The auction hall.

The auction still continued, there were a total of 50 items to be auctioned this time around.

Currently, the bidding for the 11th item is underway.

"270 ducats. " shouted one of the participants.

The item he bargained for was a high-tier Potion. For an adventurer, it was a very important rescue item.

"once 270.., 270 twice, 270 three times. Congratulations to the adventurous master there, you managed to gain additional lives. "cried Jacobin with vigor.

The adventurer who managed to win the offer looked very happy and coughed a few times.

It seemed like he was being injured at the moment and that Potion was most likely the only hope he had for a cure.

"Okay, the next item we're going to auction is this beautiful piece of jewelry, we call it Red Rose" Jacobin said.

On the stage, a beautiful woman was carrying beautiful jewelry in her hands.

The jewelry was a red Ruby that had been carved in the shape of a rose, was the size of a child's palm and emitted a red aura around it.

"We found it in one of the ancient ruins that our company members explored.

The antiquities experts we have had already researched this jewelry closely and failed to discover the secrets contained in it.

But as jewelry, it is very beautiful and a step because the way to make it is already extinct.

There is no minimum bid price limit for this item, if anyone is interested please submit your offer." continued Jacobin.

To be honest, he also did not expect much if the jewelry would sell at a high price.

Even though it looks very beautiful, jewelry is still jewelry.

In this cruel world, items that could save lives were far more important than anything else.

"10 ducats" said one of the women who participated in the auction.

"20....

"50....

"100....

"150 ducats. "another woman raised her bid price.

Currently, only the women were vigorously competing for the jewelry.

"Tch... Tch... Tch, I'm really confused by the mindset of the women. Can they have to bid at a high price just for useless jewelry? " said Arya while shaking her head.

"We women have to look beautiful at all times. So, jewelry is one of the important components needed. To be honest, if you fail to get those blue sea pearls for me. I might have you buy that Red Rose. " replied Roro with a cynical look.

"really? But, I think you still look beautiful even though you do not use jewelry" said Arya while eating the cake in her hand.

Roro who heard Arya's words became timid and her face turned red.

"Why is your face red? Are you in pain? " said Arya looking worried.

He stood up from his seat and walked up to Roro to check his condition. But Roro hit him in the face.

"Keep that stupid face of yours from before me" said Roro.

He tried to act as calm as possible to cover up his embarrassment.

"Ukh..., what are you doing crazy girl? It was very painful, " said Arya in a somewhat irritated tone while holding her aching face.

"Whisper! you just sit in your chair quietly, " said Roro, looking elsewhere.

Hearing the words of Roro, Arya returned to her seat while cursing.

"Damn..! Previously, he would have been angry if I had behaved indifferently. Once I was friendly, he was also angry. What the hell is this crazy girl thinking? I really don't understand her mindset. " muttered Arya while relaxing in her chair.

"500 ducats." cried the first woman to bid.

"Well, 500 ducats..? The price was even more expensive than the previous Potions, those women were completely insane. Don't you think that too, Aaron? " said Arya while looking at her best friend.

But Aaron did not respond to Arya's words, he was seen looking at the jewelry at the auction seriously.

The Red Ruby suddenly reminded him of someone.

"Hey, Aaron. Did you hear my words? Why are you keeping quiet? " ask Arya curiously.

At the same time, Jacobin who was standing on stage began to knock his hammer after seeing the bid price not increase anymore.

"500 once.., 500 twice... "

"1000 ducats... "

Jacobin's words were cut off at the last moment, after hearing a man's voice suddenly double the bid price.

"A, are you sure you want to bid that high? Our company can give you this jewelry for free, if you really want it " Jacobin said a little nervously.

The other participants who saw the Jacobin attitude that suddenly changed drastically became very surprised as well as curious about the person who had made him submit.

"No need! This is an auction. The one who bids higher who will win, start knocking his hammer! " said Aaron firmly.

Jacobin daydreamed for a while before starting to knock on his hammer.

"Ahhh, excuse my disrespect, 1000 once. 1000 twice. 1000 three times. Congratulations to Prince Aaron! we will immediately send the goods to your place" Jacobin said with a respectful tone.

Hearing Jacobin's words, the other participants became even more shocked.

"What's? so, prince Aaron also attended this auction " whispered a woman.

"Looks like that, there's no way Jacobin would lie about this important matter" replied his friend.

Who does not know Prince Aaron? Heir to the throne of the strongest kingdom in the continent.

In addition, his talent in using magic and swordsmanship was the greatest among the other younger generations.

He earned the nickname as the number one genius in the Rapel continent.

"Hohoo. So, the boy also came apparently! " said one of the Dwarves while playing his thick beard.

"Aaron Sigebert Windson von Elam! " a girl muttered an Elf while looking at the private room that Aaron and his friends were using.

Everyone was excited about Aaron.

Suddenly...

"Prince Aaron, I challenge you to a duel. Do you dare? " shouted a younger generation of the Demi-Human race.

Hearing this sudden challenge, the other participants became even more shocked.

"Ehhh, who's that brat? " say one of the participants.

"Come away.but, it seems that he is from the lion-man race" replied someone sitting next to him.

"They are famous for fighting and being angry" continued his friend.

Seeing that the challenge he posed did not get a response from Aaron, he said in a provocation tone once again.

"Why are you quiet? Are you afraid that your title as my number one genius will be taken? If it is like that, then.. Uhm!"

Before the lion boy could finish his words, a lion man who looked much older shut the mouth of the brat quickly.

'Hmmm...! '

"I'm sorry for the mess this kid has done, I also apologize to Prince Aaron for his disrespect. I hope Prince Aaron doesn't take revenge on him, he's just a bad boy who doesn't know anything.

Since one of our members has made a noise in this place, we will leave now" said the old man in a hoarse voice.

'Hmmm...! Uhm...! Uhm...! '

Accompanied by the other demi-humans, the old man left the auction hall quickly while dragging the lion boy who kept writhing trying to escape his grip.

For a moment the auction hall became silent after the Demi-Human group left.

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

Meanwhile inside the private room of Aaron and his friends.

"That naughty boy, should I go downstairs and kick his ass? " said Arya with annoyance.

"Here you go, just ignore him. Besides, I also know the boy, he's the sister of Barbary. " said Aaron trying to calm his friends.

"Ahhh, she's Barbary's sister apparently. Did she want to take revenge for her brother's defeat last time? " ask Arya.

"It's possible, after all, that the boy seems to have a lot of respect for his brother" Aaron said.

"Hmm, that's how it looks! " arya said calmly after hearing Aaron's explanation.

After seeing the atmosphere of his personal space become calm again, Aaron felt relieved.

Suddenly, he remembered something important.

"Ahhh, I will say this first before I forget. Timoty, don't do unnecessary things" said Aaron, looking at Timoty seriously.

Arya and Roro also immediately looked at Timoty seriously after hearing Aaron's words.

The three of them looked at Timoty who had been silent since then while looking at the lion boy who was dragged out with a frightening look.

Hearing the warning from Aaron, Timoty looked at his three friends blankly like soulless beings.

For a moment, the four of them looked at each other.

Even Arya began to position her right hand on the handle of the sword hanging on her waist as a further warning if Timoty did not press the warning from Aaron.

The three of them knew from the very beginning about the other personalities that Timoty had.

So, to prevent major problems from happening. Aaron, Arya and Roro always give a warning to resuscitate him.

After some time had passed, Timoty's blank gaze again showed signs of life and he smiled at the three in response.

Seeing this, Roro and Arya become relieved and Aaron looks happy.

'Good, at least I don't need to torture you to drag you back to the real world' Aaron murmured inwardly.

After the little incident had passed, they again continued to enjoy the auction.

Timoty managed to get the ancient dagger he wanted.

As for Arya, she had originally only intended to purchase Sea Beast eggs at auction.

However, he suddenly changed his mind after seeing the Trident spear that was also auctioned at that place.

Without a second thought, he immediately bid on the item and he spent a lot of money to get it.

However, he still looks happy, even though his wallet is dry.

Alice also happened to find the item she wanted.

He bought seeds from Rainbow Lily flowers to beautify the garden he made.

After everyone paid and obtained the items they had bought from the auctioneer.

Aaron's small group walked away from the auction hall.
