Her Lagacy

The servant cleared his throat as he met the cold and dominating eyes of Elene. He bowed his head hurriedly.

"Uhhmm, that… lord Cotlin had a severe allergy to lightning. That is why he could not come to the stage. He had asked Lady Diana to retrieve the box for her. But since this is against the rule, he had sent me as his servant for now. This is the money." The man spoke everything in a single breath afraid that Elene would throw him out of the auction house before listening to him and instead of earning two gold coins, he would lose his job.

Temptation was a sin. His wife was right. The greed would be his end one day. He cursed as he stood up straight again when no one took the bags of gold from him.
