That day, when Diya carried her through a hail of bullets and shielded her from the bullets, her heart skipped a beat for a moment.

At that time, she really fantasized that Diya was sent by God to save her, otherwise why would she try so hard to save her?

She even sent her personal maid outside so she could speak with Dia alone, eager to know everything about him.

However, he was probably just a very competent guard...

The higher the expectations, the greater the frustration.

'I was overthinking it...'

'It's alright, it's alright, I am the son of the king, I am the son of the king…'

Mumu Ze unconsciously lowered his head, gripping the knitting needles tightly in his hand, his hands trembling...

-----------------

After leaving the house, Diya returned to his room. The Nen beast hidden in his hair seemed to be bursting with impatience and suddenly rushed out, wandering around "Misty's" room.

He remained silent, quietly watching the little beast frolic.

Because the name "Atmosphere Maker" was too long, he gave it a nickname: "Fog Fog".

Mist is a physical Nen beast that can be seen by ordinary people, because it is actually more difficult to materialize a Nen beast that only Nen users can see.

Perhaps it was because the first thing Wuwu saw after being born was Diya and Mumu Ze, but he felt that this Nen beast seemed to really like Mumu Ze.

Unfortunately, he really didn't want to be dragged into the quagmire of the Kakin royal succession battle, at least not now.

A few hours later, someone knocked on the door to remind Dia that it was time to leave.

After tidying up her weapons, Dia went downstairs to escort the twelfth prince to the Southpis Auction House.

He and Drogbada remained unconventional, standing on either side of the line.

Suddenly he saw that the three private soldiers had somehow infiltrated the guard and were standing behind him.

He asked Drogba about this, and the other replied that it was because three members of the guard had died at once and there weren't enough men, so they were temporarily assigned to act as guards.

It is said that the fourth prince personally ordered them to do their best to protect the twelfth prince, and at the same time, to complete the mission.

Dia doubted whether Celidonich had actually issued such a human-like order, suggesting it was probably given by the enemy's privately-appointed captain or something similar.

"The prince has arrived, let's go."

Drogba nudged Dia, telling him to stop worrying about those things, then turned and entered the convoy.

Diya looked up at Mumu Ze who was walking towards him, and for some reason, he suddenly felt a bit complicated.

In particular, when his extraordinary eyesight, which surpassed that of ordinary people, caught the tear stains at the corner of the other person's eyes, he felt a little guilty.

Mumu Ze seemed to have returned to her dignified and serene demeanor from the first day, except that the way she looked at Diya had changed from a direct and generous gaze to a cautious, furtive glance.

Dia could feel her gaze, but when he followed it, she quickly looked away.

The convoy lined up and headed towards the auction.

'If all goes well, we can head back tomorrow...'

Sitting in the passenger seat, Dia could still feel the occasional, subtle gazes coming from behind, but this time he could only pretend not to notice.

Hopefully, she'll back down...

-----------------

Southpis Auction House.

Diya sat next to Mumu Ze, with Poksen, who was bidding, to his right.

He didn't utter a single word throughout the entire auction, but his ripple radar was constantly scanning the entire third layer at high frequency.

If any unexpected situation arises, he will follow his plan, carrying the two people bidding next to him and running straight to the back door of the auction house to escape.

But so far, it seems that the enemy who planned the attack has no intention of making a move at the auction house.

'Is it because they don't want to offend the Ten Elders, or was it orchestrated by one of the Ten Elders...?'

Dia thought silently that Nanpis's backer was the Ten Elders, so under normal circumstances no one would dare to cause trouble here.

Aside from the completely unbridled Phantom Troupe...

Dia recalled that on the day of Karl's attack, he clearly heard the name "Qi Peixin".

Through the hunter's website, he discovered that the name belonged to someone who had been dead for a long time.

He didn't tell anyone this, firstly because it was unnecessary, and secondly because Kakin Kingdom definitely had more accurate intelligence sources than him.

The auctioneer on stage was giving it his all, speaking enthusiastically and occasionally gesturing wildly as he demonstrated something.

boring……

Dia stared at the stage with half-closed eyelids, seemingly unaware of the gazes directed at her.

Chapter 30 The Collapse of Poxon × Fish Eaters

'It should be over soon...'

Mumu Ze sat next to Dia, his eyes vacant and seemingly absent-minded, but he would glance at Dia every now and then before quickly looking away.

She had successfully bid on what she wanted: a set of antique knitwear, which she had come with high expectations.

But now that I've bought what I wanted, I don't feel satisfied...

Why?

Is it because there's something else you want...?

What is Poxen thinking, sitting to Dia's right?

She was absolutely on pins and needles!

Those two incompetent teammates, citing the reason that "auctions are safer," immediately chose Pokson, who had been depressed and silent for the past few days, as the bidder.

But they didn't tell her that the bastard who cheated a beautiful young girl out of her life savings was also there!!

and……

What happened between this guy and the prince?

Poxon sat upright, his eyes fixed straight ahead, as if he hadn't noticed the tense atmosphere over there.

As soon as she sat down, she inadvertently gave that bastard a slightly resentful look.

As a result, the twelfth prince somehow saw it, and then...

She gave Poxon a blank look that made him break out in a cold sweat—as if to say, "Why are you looking at him like that?"

No.

What has this guy been up to these past few days? Even the twelfth prince, who is known for his gentleness, would show such a look in his eyes.

Pokson began to regret not having paid attention to anything else these past few days, only talking about the two million in ni.

This left her completely unaware of what had happened in the past few days.

Although Poxen was a private soldier appointed by the prince, he held a certain political position.

But that doesn't mean she can provoke the prince!

Without the orders of the superior prince or princess, even a junior prince cannot be disrespected by just anyone.

If a prince casually remarked, "That privately-established soldier is disrespectful to the royal family," he would likely suffer social death, if not die on the spot.

This is especially unacceptable to someone like her who aims for a minor, insignificant position within the system.

Moreover, given the Fourth Prince's personality, if anyone were to disrespect the royal family, he would probably skin her alive, let alone spare her life out of consideration for their university friendship.

After successfully bidding on what the fourth prince wanted, Poxen sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she glanced at the bored person next to her, and her big eyes instantly turned into dead fish eyes.

'Nothing good has happened since I met this guy…'

'Um? '

Pokson was suddenly puzzled to see that the annoying guy's expression suddenly turned serious, and his body tensed up.

what happened?

'Enemy attack?'

Pokson's first thought was that it was an enemy attack, but when she subconsciously looked around, she found nothing.

She was quite confident in her observation skills; if there were any signs of an enemy attack, she couldn't possibly be completely oblivious.

So... what did he discover?

"Your Highness, Poker, there's an enemy attack! Come with me immediately!"

Suddenly, Dia's deliberately lowered voice interrupted Poxen's thoughts. She subconsciously turned to look at Dia, who had already stood up.

'Is there really an enemy attack? And why is this overly familiar guy calling me so affectionately...?'

Pokson blinked, inwardly complaining about the way the other person addressed him, but still decisively got up and followed him.

Since her mission is already accomplished, it doesn't matter whether she leaves or not.

Upon hearing Diya's words, Mumu Ze instinctively stood up, preparing to leave, before realizing what Diya had said.

Several well-dressed guests around them also heard what Dia said.

A series of hushed whispers broke out immediately.

A middle-aged woman looked uneasy. She turned to a middle-aged man accompanying her and asked:

"Was that person talking about an enemy attack...?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man revealed a mocking smile:

“I had bodyguards and guards prepared outside the auction house long ago. They will call me if any problems arise.”

"They haven't found any problems outside, so you're saying that some greenhorn found them inside the venue?"

He saw it clearly: the young bodyguard hadn't made a phone call or anything before saying those words.
