Lock You Up In My Heart - 61 Auction Day Part 2
She tried to gain her composure again and smiled coldly, “You guys, just let me go over and join the auction peacefully can’t you?”
Those two were dumbfounded for a second before laughing so hard, they were clutching their stomach. “HAHHAHAHAH! Little beggar, you musn’t be so imaginative, this entrance is exclusive for those who have Diamond Invitation on their hand, but what about you? Do you even have the Noble Invitation?”
Right beside the Diamond entrance, it was the Noble entrance, there’s some people lining up there. Upon hearing the guards exclamation, some of them start giggling and gossiping. There’s also some that were bold enough to speak their thought.
“Aih, since when the Lime City has such shameless person?”
“Even if she’s a beauty then what, she was way too shameless.”
“See little beggar? You better know your place and stop shaming yourself.” , they said.
Huan Li sneered, she surely know her place, she got the Diamond Invitation, of course she needs to enter from here. The only problem was that there were many people that doesn’t believe her. If she shows her invitation, they might not believe her.
As she was wondering what to do with that, there’s a commotion behind her, and there’s a man walking over to the entrance. The two guards also widened their eyes and the crowd fell into silent. The man opened his mouth and said “This girl is my companion, does she need any invitation to get in?”
They took a peek on her for a second before bowing to him “No no no, we are sorry for not knowing this, this girl doesn’t need any invitation to come in, your lordship can go with her.”
The man nodded satisfied, “Good, let’s go.” , he turned his head around and through the eye contact, he told her to follow him.
When Huan Li saw those face, she was quite shocked ‘It’s him!’
Before, she can’t see those face clearly, but today she finally can see his face from close. This man was the renowned guardian, ‘Perfectly’. She nodded her head and followed him inside, leaving the crowd dumbfounded and couldn’t say anything.
Those who dared to said their thought earlier also ashamed by themselves and hide between the crowd. When they entered, Huan Li just thanked him “Thanks for your help, i was able to get out from the problem.”
The man doesn’t stop after hearing her answer and just said, “No problem, i was just doing my job.” Huan Li couldn’t understand, “What job? Helping random person is your job?”
He stopped and chuckled a bit, “I can’t let my master to be ashamed right?”
His words doesn’t make things better, rather, he made it worse. “Who’s your master? Me?”, she pointed at herself. Hearing her confused tone, he turned his head around and with a smile he said “Of course, who else? There’s only you, right?”
“But we never meet before?” , she said. He chuckled again, “That doesn’t matter, you have the sign of my master, and that’s the only thing that matter to me.”
She got confused again and again, she couldn’t digest anything that he said.
“Sign? But i never had something like that?”
“You maybe doesn’t realize, but the earring on your ear was owned by my previous master, so you are my master now.” , he pointed at her left ear.
Hearing that, Huan Li touched the earring on her left ear. Sure enough, this wasn’t a normal earring, the Queen and King has said that there will be another rewarad from them. ‘So one of them is this person in front of her? So she got a free handsome bodyguard out of nowhere? Alright’
She also remembered something, “So you were the former Queen bodyguard right? Are you familiar with her children too?”, she asked. He seems quiet shocked with her question but still managed to smile, “Yes i know them pretty well.”
“Is that so? Then i will have to trouble you a bit later then.” , she smiled. He just raised his eyebrow, “What kind of help that you need me personally to do it?”
“It’s regarding the two of them.”
“The two of them? The princess and prince?”
“Yes.. I will discuss the detail with you while the auction is being held, it’s not safe here.”
He just nodded his head and lead her to his room. Turns out he got a slightly good room, while the current Queen and King got the second best room in the auction.
There’s also some rumors that the best room finally got the owner. But according to the guards that were guarding the door, there’s no sign of this person coming today. Hearing those two got mentioned, Huan Li can’t help but to frown, they might has offended that person and he/she ended up leaving without saying anything.
Probably because the person for the best room is very important, the auction got delayed. Huan Li yawned a lot of time because of the boring atmoshphere.
