Forgotten Juliet - Chapter 61
“Then, this magical tool is…!”
Merat stopped introducing the auction item when he saw a woman entering and taking a seat from the entrance.
‘Hmm?’
It was the same woman from earlier. The sucker who half-heartedly gave him a silver coin upon entry.
‘It seemed like she left earlier, but she’s back?’
Although Merat was slightly annoyed, he continued with the auction without hesitation.
After all, she hadn’t won any bids before. She looked young and probably didn’t have enough money. She must’ve just come to watch.
“Now, the bidding for this sacred relic will start at 70 gold…”
“Here!”
As soon as the auction began, the woman eagerly raised her hand and shouted.
“I’ll buy that!”
…Is she really an idiot?
Merat sneered inwardly.
“Pardon me, lady, this item starts from 70 gold…”
However, the woman genuinely paid the price.
Swoosh.
“Is this enough?”
She instantly revealed a handful of gold coins from her bag.
“Huh, of course, lady!”
The item the woman won was a colorful glass cup decorated with gem-like crystals. It looked beautiful, but wasn’t very practical.
If it wasn’t a sacred relic, it wasn’t worth the price she paid.
“Wow, it’s beautiful…”
‘So naive. Doesn’t she realize it’s a fake?’
Of course, it was actually a counterfeit, not a genuine sacred relic. However, she didn’t seem to notice the cup was fake and admired it innocently.
“Now, the next item is a sacred relic from 3 centuries ago.”
Crash!
Just as he was about to proceed with the auction, the sound of something breaking was heard.
“Are you alright, miss? You should have been careful.”
“Uh…”
The same woman from before had broken the glass.
‘She wouldn’t ask for a refund just because she broke it, would she?’
Merat quickly approached, pretending to console her, but muttered under his breath.
“Heh, fools are always the easiest to deceive.”
“Hmm?”
“Oh, nothing. Did you hurt yourself?”
“Uh.”
Fortunately, she wasn’t that naïve. She didn’t ask for a refund.
Juliet won several sacred relics. Merat began to think that this ‘sucker’ was a god-sent angel.
‘I had such a good dream last night!’
“If I may present this ivory porcelain”
“I’ll buy that too!”
“Sold!”
Merat, who was in high spirits, was momentarily taken aback.
Unlike before, Juliet didn’t wait at her seat for the item to be delivered but directly came onto the stage.
