In a blink of an eye! Four days had passed and only one day left before the auction at the Heaven Mystery Store starts. Nobles from around the Kingdom had started to arrived at Moondrive Town "hey... hey... Isn't that the Viscount of the Purple Moon Port?" Many onlookers murmured in hush tone. "Oh my god! It's the Marquis of the Cresent Moon Canyon!" Said by another onlooker. The day before the auction started, a lot of nobles and bigshot had arrived and at the Eastern Gate of the Moondrive Town, a black carriage with gold decor and a sigil of Red Moon and has a cross sword at the back of the it. "Your Royal Highness, should we head for your lodging first?" The Coachman asks "No, go to the Townhall and let her know that I am here." Said by the handsome young man."By your will, your royal highness!" The Coachman whip the strap and the horses started to make it's way to the town hall.
At the town hall inside of the Mayor's office, Elune just received the message "Did you hear that? My Brother is here, luckily your here, I can be at ease." Said by Elune. "Hmph!" The man in cloack snorted and Elune just calmly sip her tea. A sudden knock on the dorr caught Elune's attention, a receptionist entered "Ms. Elune, someone is looking for you! He said to give this to you and you will know who hr is." The receptionist hand a gold coin with a red moon and swords across the moon. "Thank you. Tell that man to come in." Elune instructed and the receptionist bow and went out to fetch the man.
After waiting for a few minutes, a handsome young man entered her office "Royal sister! It's been a while." The handsome young man greeted Elune. Elune stand up and greeted the handsome young man back "Your royal highness, the crown prince Apollo! It's good to see you too." Elune bows and smile at the crown prince. The crown prince look at the man in black cloak "So... Even the sword king, the Dashing Sword Aibek is here. Then I can rest easy that the skill book that will be present at the auction is legitimate." The crown prince smile and was about to go out but then he stops and look at Elune "By the way my dear sister, Grandfather tolde that you can come back anytime at the capital in the royal palace amd he will deal with mother amd father for you." When Elune heard it, she clench her fist but still smile at Apollo and said "Please, sends my thanks and regards to grandfather but I still have a lot to do in this town. Maybe on another time, I will visit rhe royal palace." The crown prince shrugged and went out. After the crown prince went out, the sword king mutters "it's seems thatbthe water in the capital is getting deeper and muddier." Elune just stay silent and took a sip of her tea.
While all of this is happening, at the Heaven Mystery Store, doctor Selene was talking to Alex as and did some test about the potions that he will be on the auction "Mr. Alex, I have done several test on the items and I can guarantee that ad long as the person didn't consume more than 3 of these items at a time then, it would be safe for them to use it." Selene explained to Alex about the results of the test "Thank you for taking your time for doing some test for me Ms. Selene, how can repay you?" Alex and wqs satisfied with the results and ask if there is something he can do for her. Selene thought for a moment and suddenly remember what she talked with Elune "Then, if it's okay with you Mr. Alex, although I don't have any talent for being an auctioneer, would it be fine if I take th stage? Don't worry, I don't need any compensation, in fact this is also my way advertising my little clinic. How about it Mr. Alex?" Alex though for a moment and he look at Selene "Even though she don't have a talent or experience of being an auctioneer, her beauty as well as her knowledge with potions, it will certainly boost the sales of the potion and piil." He said it to himself. After thing for a few minutes Alex agreed "That is fine Ms. Selene, I can definitely agree to it but, I will be the one to personally lead the auction for the skill books." Selene smiles and nodded. They had a few more exchange of plans with regards to the auction tomorrow and without noticing, it was already getting dark "Thank you very much for your time Mr. Alex, I learned alot on how to be an auctioneer." Selene thanked Alex "Don't mentioned it! I'll see you tomorrow!" They said their good byes and Selene left.
Alex called Clyde and the party "Mr. Clyde-" he wqs stopped by Clyde "Shopkeep, just call me Clyde no need for formality." Said by Clyde "Alright then, Clyde, I know that every night, you will be taking your rest and Kido will be the one to guard the perimeter, however, for this night, I want you to guard the inside of the store just for tonight and as for the others, please continue on what you are doing but just for this night, please be more alert and if you notice that's somethings amiss, just do what you do best in those situations." Clyde and the rest of the party and nodded. "You hear that guys! This night is very crucial! Let's do our best and protect the store!" Clyde declared "Yes captain!" The party answered in unison. After doing a quick strategic meeting, they all went to their position. "This gonna be a long night. Hopefully, nothing big happens." Clyde sigh and go to his position.
