I Became the Fiancé of a Crazy Heroine - Chapter 19-1

Duke Adelaira’s Mansion, Sion’s room.

It took Sion about two days to adapt to the flow of magic.

Of course, he needed to become more familiar with it to channel it properly.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t contain this magic in a weapon or convert it into magic.

‘The best way to utilize El Tesoikve’s magic is through Holy Arts.’

As El Tesoikve was a sword of light, and therefore contained inherent sacred power.

Because of this, it was possible to implement Holy Arts, and healing and purification abilities followed naturally.

‘It will be difficult for me.’

Sion obtained magic through the holy water made by El Tesoikve.

Naturally, it could only be incomplete, and the fact that humans possess the magic of a magic sword itself was almost a miracle.

In some ways, it could be said that El Tesoikve’s magic had been transformed to fit the human body.?

“First, I have to get Exceed Rain… and if I have a chance, I should learn Holy Arts.”

But he couldn’t be sure he could learn it.

Even the person who used both El Tesoikve and Exceed Rain couldn’t do it.

‘Now, there’s only one thing left.’

Sion adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror, taking his money and entry tickets.

He checked the auction house booklet every day, waiting for the item to come out.

Since he found the item he wanted while being ready, he planned to go to the auction and win the bid himself.

‘If I miss it this time, I may never be able to get it.’

The item Sion wanted to buy was a black iron glove.

It was a piece of equipment used by the subordinates of the 3rd demon king, and it had a deeply engraved evil magic, indicating that it was quite powerful.

With the evil magic of the glove, he could easily draw out Exceed Rain.

‘When the time comes, Exceed Rain will come out on its own… But I can’t wait until then.’

Exceed Rain is the latest of all the magic swords and the protagonist meets it at the very end.

Waiting until then would consume too much time, and during that time, Sion couldn’t do anything.

Instead of waiting, wouldn’t it be better to go directly to where Exceed Rain is hidden?

‘I should be able to buy it with this.’

Sion had all the money he had received from Fred.

Most of the money he had saved up until then had been spent on buying the Limpia Macina.

Of course, the money Fred gave him was not small, so if nothing special happened, he could safely bid for it.

‘If it’s really urgent, I could borrow from Hanette… but…’

Sion shook his head, rejecting the idea.

Hanette wouldn’t lend him any money.

She was here to gather money to run away, so she didn’t even have the luxury to do that.

‘But I can’t ask Duke to lend me money…’

“What are you doing? Let’s go to the auction house.”

The door opened and a familiar voice was heard.

Sion turned his head towards the door, emptying his mind.

“If you don’t want to go, you don’t have to because of me. I’m fine being alone.”

“Who said I’m going because of you? I’m going because I want to.”

“Just go to the usual place you always go.”

“If it were you, would you want to go back to places you’ve been to many times?”

“Oh, so you mean you’re bored.”

Sion walks in with a smile, moving his steps.

Hanette scratches her neck with an annoyed expression.

‘Why am I even doing this…’

The necklace, called the relic, was unnecessarily cumbersome and not particularly appealing.

She thought it would be better to get a refund and return the money to Sion.

But because Sion was always watching, she couldn’t bring herself to throw away the necklace.

‘I have to endure it, even though I’m old. I can’t let him do that again.’

Since some time ago, Hanette had been aware of Sion’s presence.

Although Sion was a fairly decent person, he wasn’t someone who was important enough to always be concerned about.

Why were her emotions being shaken up for some reason?

‘Ah, how did I become attached to a child like this…’

“You don’t like the necklace? Then take it off.”

“It’s fine. I’ll wear it even if it’s because of you.”

“Why are you blaming me for this?”

“It’s because I can’t leave you alone, what else can I do?”

“People will think I’m being dragged around by you.”

“It’s the opposite. I’m the one being dragged around by you.”

“Oh… are you trying to argue with me again?”

“Aren’t you tired? Why are you so insistent?”

“Because my sister is like that?”

“Sure, since you’re so great, hurry up and come. How long do I have to wait for you?”

“Well… Until I die?”

“Hehehe, are you calling that a joke?”

“I guess it’s better than nothing.”

Sion passes by Hanette with a refreshing smile.

Hanette is about to say something more, but she reluctantly follows behind him.

‘Are you saying that we should die together? Seriously… it’s not even funny.’

***

The capital of the Kingdom of Alain, the Alain Auction House.

There were large and small auction houses throughout the Kingdom of Alain. They were particularly concentrated in the capital, and some famous regions also handled auction houses.

However, the auction houses in the capital held the most items, and many nobles and merchants resided in the capital, so they naturally had to travel near the area.

“What are you buying?”

“Take a guess.”

“If I guess right, will you give me something?”

“I’ll buy you drinks today, If you do.”

“… It sounds like it’s going to cost you a lot.”

Hanette showed interest as she looked through the auction house booklet.

Each page contained descriptions of auction items. In addition, you can also find recent auction items or the rankings of the most expensive auction items.

“If it’s your personality, you’re probably going to try to buy something that doesn’t make sense.”

“What makes sense then?”

“Nobles often look for things like paintings, pottery… or jewelry?”

“Unfortunately, you’re all wrong. Two more guesses left?”

“What? That’s a separate thing!”

“When you speak, you have to be careful. Otherwise, the opportunity will fly away like this. Understand?”

“Sigh… alright. It’s free drinks, so I’ll endure it.”

Hanette carefully examined the booklet because she wanted to save money. In fact, she had already given up on guessing the auction items, but somehow it was enjoyable.

She had hardly ever come to a strange place and talked to someone before.

“Isn’t this it?”

“No, it’s not.”

“Ugh… then this one?”

“It’s right below it.”

“What?”

Hanette furrowed her brows and looked at where Sion was pointing.

She’d thought he’d buy something outlandish, but who knew he’d try to get something like this.

Apparently, her fiancé had a hobby for wasting money.

“Why do you need to buy this?”

“I have a use for it.”

“Why don’t you buy proper armor or a pair of gloves instead?”

“It’s my money, so how about showing a little respect?”

“So, do you want me to show respect for the necklace you bought me too?”

“If you do, I’d appreciate it.”

“Very strange, very strange.”

Hanette closed the booklet and followed Sion.

Sion took out the auction ticket and approached the employee.

Hanette was caught up in a faint feeling of regret as she watched Sion’s back.

‘…I brought the money for no reason. Why am I even doing this?’
