Auction Item

"So many things have been shown, but nothing interests me." Stacey complained the umpteenth time, she had been sitting in a chair for quite a long time.

'Cling!'

A sparkling object caught Stacey's green eyes, a gem for jewelry that was a mix of bright green, white and pink.

The gem was auctioned off for 2 gold pieces and went on.

'I have to win this thing!' Stacey thought as she held her hands up high,

"25 gold pieces!" Stacey's stern voice echoed throughout the room.

Not to be outdone, the old man sitting on the front bench raised his hand.

"35!"

"40!" Stacey said not wanting to lose,

"That gem is mine! 60 gold pieces!" The old man won the thing, Stacey didn't have that many gold pieces. Forced to give up the gem.

"Well, that's a shame." Jason said he was tired of the auction this time.

"It's a fine gem, though." Stacey sighed in disappointment.

Jason left Stacey in the auction room with Stacey's permission. Jason went to a special waiting room for Alexador and his men. They got this room thanks to Alexador's best friend, Aivo.

Some time Stacey spent finally getting something, Stacey walked glumly towards the waiting room.

"Stacey! Your nose is finally showing!...."

"What's wrong? why are you so gloomy?" Jason said followed by Amanda.

Stacey didn't answer, she just stared disappointedly at the thing she won. Everyone stared in wonder at the object, asking whether it was worth wearing or not.

"What's with that shabby flower?!" Maki Erissa.

"I'm really sorry to win such a pointless thing like this, I spent all my money. Fyuhhh." Stacey lowered her head.

"You spent your money on that useless thing? Even I can't feel the magic from it." Erissa said wondering why Stacey would choose this thing.

Stacey lowered her head even more, gloomy and sorry and confused. What should he do with the thing in his hand?

Everyone was confused about what to say and what to do, they didn't know Stacey very well, afraid what they said might hurt Stacey's heart.

In the end Jason broke the tense atmosphere, Jason invited Stacey to go to the festival. Stacey accepted Jason's invitation even though she was disappointed, before that Amanda took Stacey and Erissa to lunch without asking Alexador and Jason.

"I am coming along!" Jason exclaimed.

"No! It's girls time, you guys have fun in your own way!" Amanda argued while patting Erissa and Stacey on the shoulder.

"But I'm a bodyguard—" Before Jason could finish his sentence, Alexador stopped Jason's actions.

"Let them, after all they are not ordinary women, you come with me!"

Jason dodged and Alexador was forced to drag Jason away from the girls.

"No!!! Staceyyyy!!!!!!" Jason shouted before Stacey and her two friends left while having a warm conversation.
