When the man who was left alone took off his mask, dark hair and red eyes were revealed.
‘I didn’t think of this.’
The man, Argention, muttered to himself.
I can’t believe Roselina left him behind. Twice.
In addition,
‘You don’t seem desperate.’
I’m not desperate?
‘No’
Drops of sweat that flowed again through Argention’s face. The crazy pain in his body did not subside easily even after a long time.
“Ugh.”
Argention clenched his teeth.
The Tears of the Wind was an item he had been looking for so long. It was the only hope to alleviate the terrible madness he was experiencing.
After the war, he did not return immediately but instead started searching for it, he found a lead, a clue he was barely able to discover, and it was traced into the Brighton’s auction house. He didn’t expect to see Roselina there.
“800,000 gold.”
After having not seen her in a few days, she looked different from his memory.
Perhaps because she wasn’t able to recognize him due to the effect of the magic mask, she seemed to regard me purely as a competitor.
But it was strangely pleasant.
‘In addition…’
Roselina’s 1 million gold must be the amount I sent.
I can also guess where she would use the Tears of the Wind.
It’s to treat Leodor Brighton, Brighton’s eldest son, who is said to be lying in a separate house.
‘Was their relationship that good for her to use 1 million gold?’
Soon, Argention stopped thinking about it. Because it wasn’t his concern.
Anyway, if he bet 1.1 million gold, he could’ve gotten the Tears of the Wind right away. It was said that it could free him from this damn pain for a while. He could do anything for that.
However.
‘Why are you hesitating?’
Argention looked down at his hand.
“Now, 1 million gold has come out. We’re going to bid three times in the soon. If there is no higher price in the meantime, the lady over there will take the Tears of the Wind!”
The auctioneer’s loud voice rang in the hall.
The auction was ending. It was clear that if he doesn’t write the amount on the paddle right now, he’ll miss the Tears of the Wind that he’s been so eager for. Nevertheless, he couldn’t even lift a finger.
“Why?”
Feeling her gaze on me, Argention raised his head.
And the moment he saw those pink eyes burning with pure passion, he forgot to breathe for an instant and time and space stopped.
“From now on, I’ll ask you three times. 100, 100…… 100!”
It was as if the auctioneer’s voice could be heard from afar. When I realized that, the auction had already ended.
