Still Loved Even In The New World
CHAPTER 207: Auction.

When me and the others wanted to go up to the second floor, we met my dad, mom, and mom who were well dressed. Dad walks in the middle while Mama is on the right side of dad, and mom is on the left. They walked together laughing and talking about something.

When we met, we greeted mom, dad, and mom.

Rovell:"Filia, Felmina, today you will have your own dinner, your father and mother will attend a party at the residence of Marquis Garcia."

Filia:"I understand father."

I took Felmina and the others up to the second floor to clean up in my bathroom. Does that sound weird?. Actuallyno. Every room on the second floor was equipped with a bathroom, so we always went back to the second floor to clean ourselves up. The bathroom on the second floor is also spacious and complete, especially my bathroom is a bathroom that occupies one spacious room with a hot pool.

In addition, my bathroom has also been modified with many things, so it is more convenient to shower there. After all, the House of Rosefield used to have only one daughter, so they always indulged me indiscriminately. Especially the father and mother who are sometimes excessive.

It seems that grandfather also told me that when I was a child, my father and mother wanted to tear down the three-story mansion into one floor for fear of me falling down the stairs. If it wasn't for being stopped by grandfather, they would have really done it. Eventually they preferred to build another one-story mansion for where we lived until I was four years old.

It sounds exaggerated, but given that you won't be able to give birth to a second child, I think it's natural that you're worried about me.

I let Ilma take off my clothes and clean my body. Several other female servants also came to my room to help prepare the clothes after we finished our bath.

After the shower, I took Felmina to hurry downstairs to dinner. Because my father took my mother and mother to attend a party at Marquis Garcia's house, so today's dinner was quieter than usual.

Sebastian:"Daughter, there's a letter for you."

After eating, Sebastian suddenly handed me a letter. I thought that this was a cover letter again, but after I saw it, it turned out to be a letter from Shadow Drakule. When I opened the envelope and read the contents of the letter I understood what he wanted to report to me.

In the letter were recorded expenses and income of chocolate houses during this month. For at least a month, the brown house has a net profit of up to ten or more continental coins. Do not assume that it is a small result, in fact income with such an amount can already rival the income of an upper middle noble family.

But this amount of income also confused me. The continental coins are worth less than Alterion's gold coins, and at Moon Palace, I have a huge mountain of unused gold coins..The number of opinions of the brown house was just like a drop of water in the ocean that had absolutely no effect on me. That's why I'm confused as to what the money should be.

Well, I can think about that later. After all, my original goal was to set up a chocolate house not to make money. I'm more interested in the second report that Drakule sent. In this second report, there were reports of the mysterious organization.

The name of the organization is «Noxius» people who adore darkness for power. They assume that the creatures of darkness are noble beings who watch over humans and guide them. Therefore, they want to free one of the dark creatures that according to the story was once sealed in the middle of the continent of Erasio.

In the past, the noxius group were humans who considered themselves noble human beings because they were faithful worshipers of dark creatures. They are also given special things to enslave humans and other creatures who oppose the darkness. In other words, they were the dogs of those dark creatures. But after the creatures of darkness are sealed, they are also destroyed and lose their glory, even in kejama. Perhaps the current Noxius was a remnant of the past Noxius who wanted to restore their glory.

I suddenly thought about the story of the ancient empire that ruled over the entire continent of Erasio and finally their territory was split into many kingdoms at this moment. The first emperor of the ancient empire was a hero who managed to defeat the cataclysmic dark creature and sealed it in the middle of the continent of Erasio. The location of the seal was hidden, but the noxius believed that the creature was sealed in the Ragalia Kingdom region, precisely in the academy.

According to the information provided by Drakule, one week from now, they will smuggle something through the Beltras family and execute their plan.

Below are also details of the implementation of the plan. After I finished reading, I returned the letter back into the envelope and stored it in my storage.

Felmina:"Sir, what's wrong?. Is that a cover letter again?."

Filia:"No, no. It's just a financial statement from the brown house for the month."

Felmina responded with "oh" while smiling and continued to eat the cake I gave her as dessert. It was actually the third dessert Felmina had eaten. She likes sweet food, so I often make her sweet.

Filia:"If you eat too much sweet food, you can be fat."

I said that while pinching her round cheeks.

Felmina:"It's okay. After all I often practice martial arts and burn a lot of fat, so I won't get fat."

I could only shake my head with a smile, but I had already decided to cut down on the sweet food for Felmina.

Filia:"Free!."

Sebastian:"The old servant is here, Princess."

Filia:"I have some coins here. Do you have any advice on how I can use it?."

Sebastian:"Do you need something princess?."

Filia:"No. I just don't know what I want to use these coins for."

Hearing what I said, Sebas pondered for a while before he gave an answer.

Sebastian:"If so, maybe you can go to the auction at the trading guild to take a look."

Filia:"Auction?."

Sebastian:"Really..."

According to Sebas, the auction is usually held in spring like this, and four more days are the exact date. In the winter financial and food markets in the capital became very difficult because traders could not supply or travel to peddle their wares.

In the spring, everything began to heal. Many merchants began to arrive to the capital and bring a wide variety of merchandise from different places. Distant places sometimes had many unique interesting objects, so such objects would usually be at auction in the capital.

In addition to items from faraway lands, they also auctioned off various treasures they found, be it artificial treasures or natural treasures in the form of herbs for Alchemists or rare ores. In addition, there will probably be many ancient relics that will be sold at the auction house.

The auction event in the spring will be a very good opportunity for adventurers or people who have property to trade for it. Such an auction would be of great interest to the wealthy who were confused about throwing money away or to the nobles.

Moreover, spring auctions coincide with the social season, so the appeal will be even greater. Many nobles and influential people were looking for the rarest and most expensive items to make gifts during the noble party. Gifts at noble parties are not only due to the sincerity of the guest for the host, but also for the prestige between one noble and the other.

In addition, if it is able to provide rare and expensive gifts, it will also show the financial strength as well as the connections they have. Thus, they would gain a higher prestige among the nobles and other nobles would raise their value.

This will bring many advantages for them such as: It is easier to seek cooperation with other nobles, not underestimated, and have more rights to speak.

That is why even though it looks trivial, giving gifts when attending a noble party is important. In fact, it was not uncommon for any noble family to spend their annual income or even their treasures to buy the best gifts.

I decided to go to the auction. Sebas said that the auction will be held at night, so I need to tell Dad and get permission. Otherwise, I won't be able to get out.

Philia:"Okay Sebas, please remind me again when the time comes."

Sebastian:"I understand, Princess."

Felmina:"Sister!."

Suddenly Felmina called out to me while raising her hands high. Looking at her childish manner, I felt funny and looked at her with a smile.

Filia:"What's up?."

Felmina:"Sister, I'd like to come!."

I took out a handkerchief and rubbed the remaining cream on the corner of Felmina's mouth and replied "Ok".

Finally dinner was over and I invited Felmina to rest in each room. Tonight I can only sleep because my father, mother, and mother are not home. I was afraid that if I sneaked out and went to the forest to level, they would go home and look into my room. Of course there's a way to fool them, but I didn't. After all there wasn't much advantage I could get with leveling in the forest. The monster level in the forest was too low that I barely gained any experience at all. Therefore, I am too lazy to go to the forest at this time.

At least I need Tier three to five monsters if I want to level faster. Although it was fast, it would take hundreds of Tier four monsters to raise one level. Where could I find such a large number of Tier four monsters at the moment?!. I've been upset for a few days thinking about it.

.....

Finally the auction day arrived. Tonight we all wear noble clothes that show our identity.

Finished dinner, we all decided to immediately go to the trading guild.

Tonight there are two trains from the Rosefield family going to the auction. The first carriage contained me, Felmina, father, mother, and mother, while the second carriage would contain Ilma and other personal ministries.

The view of the capital at night that I see today is very different from the winter night. In winter, the streets of the capital at night look very quiet because people are lazy to go out in the cold weather.

Tonight, the atmosphere is very different. Many people passed by on the sidewalk and many chariots passed by. The street looks bright and bright because many lights are shining on it. The windows of the house are also open which adds to the atmosphere of the night to be more lively. From the open windows, many heads appeared and enjoyed the night.

On the side of the street, shops are also open to welcome guests. Many people who walk at night, either alone, in pairs, or in groups that enjoy the atmosphere of the night.

Some lovers joke and laugh. People from outside the capital who came to the capital also looked around curiously. All the atmosphere of the city looks very lively and pleasant. Everyone walks happily like there is no burden on their hearts.

Perhaps I was also infected by this kind of cheerful atmosphere, I felt that my heart gym had suddenly become pleasant.

Harnas:"Darling, you look so happy."

Philia:"Yes."

I answered briefly while continuing to look out of the carriage window. Accompanied by a lively night, finally the carriage arrived in front of the trading guild building. Many large and luxurious carriages stopped on both sides of the trading guild courtyard. There were at least hundreds of large and small carriages adorning the guild courtyard.

Not just the carriage, many people entered the guild, whether nobles, the rich, or adventurers. They come with different purposes.

Rovell:"Normally on the first floor there are many merchant stalls, do you want to look around, Filia?."

Philia:"Yes."

As we approached the gate, an old man saluted towards us. Dad just nodded and passed the old man. As soon as I entered the room, I immediately saw an incredible sight.

The entire vast first floor was illuminated by a light as bright as daylight. On the right and left sides were full of the stalls of the merchants peddling their wares. Starting from medicinal herbs, weapons, armor, ore, jewelry, and so on that made the first floor become colorful. The atmosphere was very lively with the sound of bargaining and the shouting of merchants trying to attract customers.

I directly used the «Appraisal» skill to assess the merchandise.

Harnas: "Darling, buy what you want to buy."

Philia:"Yes, Ma."

Rovell:"You guys go look around, I want to see an old friend."

I saw father walking away and met a group of nobles who were discussing something while laughing in one corner.

Almost all the stalls I have visited. I even bought some merchandise, including beautiful fabrics to make clothes. According to the seller, the silk cloth came from a coral caterpillar that is very difficult to get. At the price of one gold coin per roll, I bought over twenty rolls of various colors that cost two continent coins and several gold coins. I don't care about the money, I don't lack it anyway.

In addition to the cloth, I also bought some rare mineral stones that were even difficult to find in Alterion. Mineral stones do not have many uses, but can be used to make beautiful jewelry. In addition, those mineral stones can store magic, making them quite useful. I plan to use the mineral stones to make jewelry for Mama and Mommy, as well as Felmina's birthday present next summer.

As the auction time approached, my father came to see us again and took us to the VIP room that had been booked from the beginning.

Rovell:"Let's go."

Filia:"Wait."

Arsh:"Darling, what's wrong?."

Suddenly in an inconspicuous stall, I saw a black stone in the shape of a rectangle ninety centimeters long. The surface of the stone was very uneven, as if the stone was cut carelessly.

What interests me is, my «Appraisal» skill detects that the black stone is «Mazanite». Mazanite is a step mineral formed due to clumping of soil minerals due to interest by mana in a long period of time.

In other words, Mazanite is a mineral that coats an item or material that can attract mana continuously. Mazanite is the outer shell.

I approached the field. The stall sells a variety of glassware and antiques that look very ancient.

"This lady, are you interested in the antiques I sell?."

An old man in neat clothes asked while smiling at me. He looks like a kind and friendly old man.

Filia:"Grandfather, what are you selling?."

"These are antiques excavated from ancient imperial relics, miss. If you're interested, I can introduce it to you."

Philia:"These things look interesting, but why are you selling a piece of stone?."

The grandfather followed the direction of my view and saw a black square stone in the corner. He took the stone and put it on the table. Looking from his expression while lifting the Mazanite, it seemed that the Mazanite had a hefty weight.

"It's also one that's dug out of the wreckage and may have a specific function."

Philia:"What is the use of the black stone?."

Hearing my question, the old man smiled bitterly while shaking his head.

"I don't know either. Besides being loud, I don't find any other functions."

Harnas:"Have you tried to take him to the blacksmiths, they might have made something out of the stone."

"I've tried it, but they say that the stone is very strange and can not be heated. Some of the blacksmiths I went to say that the stone had no metal content, so it probably could not be forged into a weapon."

Filia: "Then grandfather, can you sell it to me, I'm interested in the stone."

"Of course, of course. Although this is an unknown stone, but because this stone was placed in the treasury of one of the noble families in the ancient imperial period, so this stone has a certain historical value. Therefore, I want to sell it for seven silver coins.”

I pretended to think about that price as if it was a hard choice for me. If it's in Alterion, maybe the player who found it will be robbed immediately.

Filia:"Well, since it's a pretty good collectible, so I'll buy it..."

I took out one gold coin and took the stone with one hand. Well, when I lifted this Mazanite stone, it probably weighed about fifteen kilograms.

I saw the Mazanites closer. What can I find in this stone?. I wish I could get something good.

I immediately kept it and went with my father and the others to the VIP room that had been booked...

(The end of this chapter).

Maybe soon I will make a time skip to Filia who is a teenager.
