Mixed Blood
Eps. 68 Man in a Hat
Three days later a big auction held every ten years was held in the werewolf village where Ariel lived.
The event was attended by all the werewolves who came from all over and was very crowded.
Many antiques are auctioned there and there is one last item that is still in hiding its identity as the last item auctioned and will certainly be a scramble for all auction participants.
That morning the werewolves seemed to fill the auction venue.The auction participants who had been selected to attend the auction event were already seated in the pre-prepared area.
In addition to the special area provided for auction participants, there are also other areas used for spectators and other visitors who want to watch the auction event this time.
The area reserved for visitors is still empty and several werewolves have begun to enter and sit in the area.
From a distance Ariel who walked with Orion to the audience area was.
During the journey many werewolves looked at the girl with cynical gazes and other unpleasant gazes.
A man walked towards the two of them.
“Hey Ariel... Have you gone mad? you walked with an amulet that is our eternal enemy?” asked the man halting the steps of the two of them while looking at Orion with an unpleasant look.
Orion who was scared by the man who stopped in front of him tightly held Ariel's hand and did not say a word.
“Hai Sam. Oh you mean Orion ? He's been my friend since childhood and we've been like family. He is amulet but he is different from pure amulet.” he replied as he patted the shoulder of his friend who was a friend of his name first.
Sam who felt strange saw Ariel's gaze on the girl approaching him.
“Do you like that mixed vampire ?” whispers in Ariel's ears.
Ariel looked at Orion and approached Sam and whispered.
“Ya... therefore you do not disturb him let alone to scare him like now.” he said softly with a smile.
Sam who understood the words that were a warning from Ariel immediately moved away and walked back into the area where visitors to see the auction.
Orion did not know what Ariel was saying until the man walked away from them like he was scared.
“Why keep quiet... let's go to where visitors are.” said Ariel invites Orion. The two of them finally resumed their steps into the audience area.
A few meters behind them was a man wearing a hat and watching them both.
“So that girl is a saxion that Bruno bodyguard is looking for?” inner Prince Galen while continuing to walk and enter the audience area.
Flasbacks
One day after Bruno received a report from Krish and the others he asked the four of them to gather again the next day in the twin moon hall.
In the discussion, Bruno again discussed what plans will be done at the auction event to be held by werewolves.
“At the auction I hope that one of you will infiltrate among them to monitor their activities and also if possible find the saxion.”ucap Bruno on the four members of the stealth team in his form.
The four members of the stealth team seemed to discuss responding to a request from Bruno.
The other three team members looked at each other. The two seniors looked at Prince Galen simultaneously.
“Ah that gaze again..” said the prince tried to evade the view of his two seniors.
“Now it's a young turn to scout the young, isn't it Mr Danie ?” krish asked him and then glanced at Prince Galen.
“Yes very true.. I agree with your proposal lord Krish.I think only Prince Galen is suitable to move this time.” he said while looking at the prince and and and spread his smile.
Because there was no time to support him, the prince finally with a heavy heart and was forced to accept the proposal.
“Prince who will move in the auction event later Mr. Bruno.” said Krish loudly after the four of them finished discussing.
Back to the auction that is still going on.
Orion tried to walk casually and pretended not to know the whereabouts of someone who was following and watching him from behind.
They found out that there was a man who had been following them both since they had entered the place.
Ariel who saw the girl looked displeased and nervous trying to calm her heart.
“Hey try to calm yourself. You look so stiff. Try to relax again and remember what chairman Casper said a few days ago to you.” whispered Ariel softly to Orion.
Orion nodded and recalled the plan put together by elder Casper. The elder told him that he had to attend the auction to provoke the arrival of an infiltrating amulet during the auction. When the intruder is known, then they will easily catch the intruder.
The girl tried to calm down and act the same way but there was still a feeling of anxiety that perched on her.
“Ariel I'm afraid if...” said the girl slowly to him.
“Take it easy you don't have to be afraid.me and the others will protect you.” he said to calm the girl.
The girl took a breath and exhaled slowly after she calmed down and suggested to herself not to be afraid.
After feeling calm and confident the girl stepped quickly with Ariel into the audience area.
They both sat on the middle bench. Meanwhile, Prince Galen sat in the back row to freely watch his target.
No one knew the identity of the prince amidst the werewolves back then. He used the magic powder to remove the strong scent of amulet on his body and change his scent to resemble that of a werewolf so that no one would notice if he was any different from them. Not only using magic powder he also changed his face into a stranger.
From behind Prince Galen watches Orion's movements.
“Why can a saxion get along and blend in the middle of a werewolf ? Isn't the amulet and werewolf hostile from long ago ? What the girl has the science of enchantment yes can captivate the hearts of all werewolves.The base of the female fox..” The inner prince continued to stare at Orion from behind.
Ariel took out a packet of nuts she bought in the middle of the road earlier to ease the tense situation.
“Take this.. eat it.. just ignore the person behind us.” whispered Ariel while giving a pack of beans in her hand.
Orion receives Ariel's peanuts and begins to eat them while waiting for the auction to begin.
SERIATE...
