Chapter 38- Unwilling Charity

--Alexandria POV--

I watched as everyone excitedly piled out of the room, bickering and laughing with one another as I patiently waited near the corner of the room, waiting for the crowd to disintegrate so that I could go back to my room.

I was fiddling around with the silver bracelet loosely hanging around my wrist when I saw a shadow loom over me and looked up to see Alistair staring at me with a confused look.

"Oh, hello Alistair," I smiled at him.

"Aren't you coming?" He gestured to everyone that was walking into the connected room. I hesitated with my answer before shaking my head. It's an auction for rich people, I won't be able to afford anything if I went so there's no point.

Besides, I'm beyond tired and my feet hurt from all the dancing. I've also eaten one too many desserts so my stomach feels like it's about to pop.
