23. Felix

The auction house I'm planning to go to is happening every 3 months at the last week. I planned it so I didn't have to wait long. Now it's only one day away.

I got the invitation delivered early in the morning by some assassins. It isn't hard for me to get one as our family let them continue thay business because thay have been able to stay hidden and didn't do any big moves to disurupt the normal people.

Even if the Blake family gets rid of bad gangs and organizations, it's only those that reek havoc and don't pay taxes. If they do, then our family will turn a blind eye.

So when we want in then of course we get a place. I looked at the business card they gave me. It was black with a golden circle where a crossett moon inside of it. Below this symbol was written in the same white as the moon was ' Eclipse '

' An interesting name, ' I thought. I didn't have much time to stare at it as I beamed it to my space ring together with the invitation.

I need to get some new clothes if I want to go there. I called for Astra and said, " We're going to an auction. We need clothes. You're acting as my knight. "

I said, not wanting to talk to him much. I hate perverts. I looked at his, and he nodded with that we were walking down the streets, and I finally found a clothes shop for nobles.

We were escorted by the maids to a table, and they gave us catalogs. I was looking through them until I found a suit to my liking it was black with silver decorations patterns. it would match perfectly with my mask.

I was given the suit to try it on, and it fit perfectly. I looked at Astra curious about what he chose. He had a white suit for knights with a golden pattern. It looked nothing like mine, but it was still beautiful. It also fits with his mask. I didn't know he had fashion sense.

After we were done trying on, they packed our chosen outfits, and I paid for them. I took mine to my space ring, and Astra did the same.

we walked back onto the streets and decided to eat. " What do you want ? " I asked Astra that was walking behind me. " A bird. " he said.

Then I remembered that this land also has lots of birds and a lot of nobles eat them. Back then, I tried a few, but they didn't taste so good, but I don't know what I want to eat at the moment, so I agreed.

He found a restaurant, and we sat on a table when we were chasing what to order. I took me a while to choose and he started to stare at me. I hate nothing more than someone staring at me. " Stop looking at me, your mak8ng me uncomfortable, " I said. " Then choose quickly, " he replied.

I was looking at the menu again but still didn't find what I wanted. " Choose for me. " After that, he gestured the waiter that we were ready to order, and the waiter came to our table, and Astra started to point at the menu list.

When our orders arrived, mine looked like a chicken wing, but I didn't complain as I didn't eat much. I tried to have a few bites, and surprisingly, it wasn't bad at all, so I started eating.

Astra kept weirdly smiling at me, I read his mind, ' cute.' That's what I heard him think, and the next second, I blured out. ' I'm not cute ! "

I realized that I shouldn't have said that when Astras' smile disappeared and he asked in a toneless voice, " Oh, and how do you know what I'm thinking? " I stayed quiet and didn't read his mind any further.

I bet his trying to use his mentality to block me, " I already stopped. I only used it since you were smiling at me like a pervert so I was curious about what you're thinking. "

" Oh, is that so ? You were curious, od what I'm thinking? " he asked with a teasing tone, any I didn't know what he was on about.

" Yes, " I said with a tasteless tone. His smile was even bigger, but it looked kinda fake. I guess he hates it when someone is trying to read his mind, huh?

I don't want to continue this any further and quickly finish eating. " Im going to sleep. " With that, I left.

Sleeping is the best, I would sleep for days if I could. That's also how we mostly store our mana. I won't run out of mana that easily like others.

I slept until tomorrow evening. When I woke up, I took a shower and dressed up. When I was done, I walked out of my room and saw Astra waiting for me.

We took the back exit and moved through the back alleys until we arrived at a theater. Today, there's sapose is a private event here. It isn't surprising as private events happen a lot, but only those who got the invitation know that this is an illegal slave auction.

We walked in, and a servant greeted us. I showed him my invitation and one of the maids let us ti a VIP room.

I don't have to worry about the money as they said thayre on standby to pay. ' Haha, ' I laughed to myself as I can't imagine using one of the best assassins in the world as a servent that only waits until he could pay.

' But I'm still surprised thay managed to get a VIP room for me. ' The maid closed the door, and I looked around, and there was an armchair at the end of the room.

I sat on it, and I was facing the podium through the glass. The glass was special as I anyone from the outside can't look in here while I can look outside. ' quite convenient '

Astra was standing behind me on my right. On my left side, there was a trolley with tea and a few snacks.

The auction just started as a beautiful red-haired woman came up on the stage and introduced herself as Scarlett, then she proceeded with showing the first slave.

It went on for a while, and I saw elves, humans, and even fairies. They were all under a soul contract. Probably tricked or threatened to sign it.

I looked at the next slave they were bringing and I was shocked to see it was Felix, he also helped Astra and the others destroy the world but only in the early years as he was soon killed by our units.

If he had been alive, he would also be a force to be reckoned with. I'm sure it is him, as his most memorable feature is his bright red hair and obsidian black eyes. He had three scars on his left cheek from claws. He looked even more handsome with them.

Looking at him now, he is probably my age. He was giving Scarlet a death stare full of hate from his cage as she was voicing out the bits.
