First The Wood, And Then The Roses

"An auction?"

Evangeline gripped her hands together, looking at the floor while she spoke. "Zielle told me this is an auction event. I couldn't decipher what are being auctions in here and who is the one who held this event. This explains why neither Anderson nor Neville is around."

Luan looked unsurprised. "I found an unused library down the corridor." He jerked his chin toward the end of the corridor. "Come along. There's a private room where we can talk and might as well find some clues there."

In a daze Evangeline followed him. She could not help to feel everyone cast them short glances as they passed. Evangeline did not realize Luan already slid the door open when he pulled her inside the library gently. "You're indeed drawing people's attention, Mr. Winterlight." She said as soon as the door shut behind them, the light in the room dimmed. Before Evangeline could say anything, Luan already lit up the candelabras on each side of the wall.
