I asked Hess to leave me in a town near the Auction House. As soon as they dropped me off, I retrieved all the magic items from my pocket. I ended up walking in the street of Vendoso, it's a busy street nearest Magnus' Auction House. I walked through a tightly packed crowd.

When I put on the shape-shifting necklace, my long, black, curly hair instantly transformed into silky, straight, ginger hair. I blinked, and my eyes changed to a mesmerizing emerald color.

With a snap of my fingers, my clothes transformed instantly into a pale blue dress commonly worn by commoners, paired with a tight black corset. It has a see-through, small balloon sleeves and a square neck that features my collarbones.  The diamond accessories I had been wearing disappeared, and all I had left was a simple white headband.

Morgana's jewels sparkle as if they were filled with stars. And every dress she wears becomes trending in the Capital. Men and the remaining female population adorned her everyday outfit.

But they have no guts to approach her. On the other hand, I prefer to wear comfortable clothes in this disguise. Kahit ang suot kong white headband ay magaan sa ulo.

That's correct. I decided to do the same disguise as when I visited the brothel before. However, this time, I added some fake freckles.

"Excuse me!" Halos pabulong kong sabi sa lalaking nakaharang sa akin at nang hindi siya umalis sa puwesto ko'y walang sabi ko siyang binangga. 

The man became angry, and when he turned his gaze toward me, he instantly froze upon seeing my face. I'm in my disguise yet I can tell that Morgana's aura is still overflowing. Just like what happened in the brothel. Sa huli ay tinitigan ko lang siya hanggang sa tuluyan na siyang mawala sa paningin ko.

What frustrates me the most are people causing delays for me. Minsan lang ako lumabas sa lungga ko. Even in my real world, you often see me outside. Kahit nga bumili sa tindahan ay bihira mo lang ako makita dahil mahilig akong mag-stuck ng kung ano-ano.

The Grand Khellio Auction House stood near the capital. Its facade was adorned with stained glass windows, concealing the view of its interior. I entered, quickly grabbing one of the long fur cloaks available outside before stepping inside.

As I entered, I was greeted by the grand main hall. I looked up to behold its towering crystal chandeliers, casting a dazzling glow. The polished marble floors were adorned with rows of plush velvet chairs. At the front, a stage dominated the space, where the auctioneer would soon take his place.

"Mabuti na lang ay konti ang tao." I tilted my head as I stood in front. Given the fact that this story revolves around a decreasing female population, almost every person here is male.

However, I could spot a few females, and I scoffed, assuming they belonged to the nobility because they made an effort to conceal their faces with fur cloaks and peculiar-looking hats.

Who am I to judge them anyway? I'm a noble too. And here as my disguise. See you in hell, fuckers.

The hair on my back stood on end as I suddenly felt a presence behind me. But it was too late when the man spoke. Gusto kong lumingon sa kaniya dahil iba ang kabog ng dibdib ko. Ngunit mas mauna niyang ilapit ang kaniyang mukha sa aking batok.
