Chapter 55: Tumultuous Events XI (2)
“Is that so? I think it really suits you. It suits you more than anyone else.”
With those words, Bahamut carefully presented her the dress.
“Ah…” Ophelia cautiously accepted the dress with slightly trembling hands, “Re…really…do you think so?
“Of course. For me, the only person I can think of who fits this outfit is you, Ophelia.”
“Ahh…”
Ophelia’s face started to turn red at Bahamut’s words.
Seeing this, Bahamut began to feel a bit ashamed without realizing it.josei
‘Really… the more I look at her, the cuter she seems…my Ophelia…’
With that thought in mind, Bahamut said to Ophelia, who was at a loss as to what to do while holding the dress.
“What are you doing? Go on, try it on. Since it’s a present, I want to see it right now.”
“Ah…yes, Master…then I’ll be going.”
At Bahamut’s words, Ophelia briefly headed behind the screen on the side. After a while, she slowly walked out and stood in front of Bahamut wearing the dress.
“How is it… ”
Ophelia stood before her master with a shy expression on her face.
“Uh… what!?”
The moment he saw her, an exclamation naturally came out of Bahamut’s mouth.
“As expected…I heard that clothes were a beauty’s wings. You were pretty from the beginning…but now, you really look amazing!”
“Master…”
At Bahamut’s unfiltered praise, Ophelia lightly covered her face with her hand. She felt so shy that she couldn’t even make eye contact with Bahamut.
And… Bahamut approached Ophelia and gently took her in his embrace.
“I am really thankful…that you love someone like me.”
“…”
It was a warm, and sincere voice.
And, the moment she heard those words, Ophelia began to feel the doubts that had arisen in her heart before, melt away like snow.
The thought that her Master’s love might be a lie…that it was a mere illusion—was nothing but her own misunderstanding.
Now, the proof was right before her eyes, as clear as the burning sun.
This person…this man named Bahamut…he genuinely had affection for her and he was not afraid to show it!
Feeling immense joy at that fact, Ophelia’s eyes began to glisten with beads of tears.
“Thank you…really…really.. I love you…Master…my Master!”
Ophelia conveyed her honest feelings once again.
In response, Bahamut slowly approached her face and took her lips.

The auction was nearing its end.
As expected, the clothes and accessories that were the main attraction of the second day were sold at very high prices due to the noble women.
However, not all things were sold at an expensive price.
“1 talet 300 silver! Are there any more?”
“…”
Not even the secret operatives of the auction felt the need to raised the price of this particular item.
It was a blue jewel ring with a shabby appearance. Even at a glance it seemed to of very poor quality, quite unsuitable for such an auction.
It would seem unnatural if they tried to raise the price of such an item.
At that time..
“1 talet 301 silver.”
Someone called a bid with in a bored voice, as if to say that—‘if there’s no one is willing to buy it , then I guess I’ll take it’.
“Umm…”
The secret operatives and the auctioneer silently exchanged nods, judging that there was no point in raising the price any more that this.
“Yes! The ring will be sold at 1 talet 301 silver.”
As soon as the winning bid was declared, one person went to pick it up.
It was a woman with silver hair, wearing a white robe. She handed over the money on the spot, then left the auction house holding the ring.
As they had already reached the end of the auction, her actions didn’t raise any suspicions. After having completed the work very quietly, she left the building and began carefully examining the ring she had just bought.
“It’s fortunate…no one knows just how valuable this is…”
With those words, the woman slowly injected mana into the ring.
At the same time, the blue jewel ring, which had a shabby appearance, began to emit a blindingly bright light.
And…
Cheeuang!
In an instant, a ray of blue light erupted from the jewel, shooting straight at the stone pillar in front of the woman.
Right after that…a small but clear hole appeared on the stone pillar!
After confirming that the ring was genuine, the silver-haired woman murmured to herself.
“Eiza’s Ring…it was a necessary item for the plan, and I finally got it…I wish I could get the other item as easily as this…”
