The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me[On Hold]

Chapter 12: The Auction

"Frey, why are you breaking out in a cold sweat..."

"...From now on, don't call me by my first name."

".....Why?"

Having hastily cut off Isolet's words, I could feel a cold sweat rolling down my body as I fell in deep thought.

'...I thought all three of them wouldn't make a rash move at this point? Do they resent me that much?'

The item I'm trying to secure now is the ⟬Stone of Domination⟭, one of the artifacts the Demon King will use in the future.

The artifact, which has the characteristic of suppressing and controlling the target's will, will be treated as a 'cheap ornament' at the auction house that will begin shortly and will only cost 10 gold.

So my plan was to buy the ⟬Stone of Domination⟭ along with a few useful items at a reasonable price... Meanwhile, I would escape leisurely after entrusting Isolet to deal with the Demon King's force who will storm the auction house.

However, all the Main Heroines have gathered at this auction house.

Perhaps they thought they could control me with that stone of domination... but as long as I have ⟦Blessing of the Stars⟧, any sort of mind control ability won't affect me. In other words, the Main Heroines are totally wasting their time.

'...By the way, do they even have the money to buy that artifact at this point in time?'

Kania has no money.

Although she is a butler of a Ducal family, she spends most of her money on her younger sister, so she usually carries only a few silver coins as an emergency fund.

And if you think about it, it's the same for Saintess Ferloche and Princess Clana.

Although Ferloche is nominally in a position where even the Pope can't treat her lightly, the leaders took advantage of her because of her naïve personality.

For that reason, of course, she doesn't have any personal assets.

Most of her fortune went into the hands of the bishops and the Pope, since she has donated whenever she could because of her pure character

Of course, there is a possibility that she might have asked the church to give her money, but even if she has experienced the previous timeline, it's highly unlikely that the Saintess, who has the same personality is going to get the money from the bishops or the Pope.

And Princess Clana has no money either.

One might say that the notion of the Imperial Princess having no money is utter nonsense, but it's not the case at all for someone who is at the rock bottom in the line of succession.

Her siblings are jealous of her natural looks and wit. However, at the same time, they fear she will climb up the order of succession.

Thanks to this, as many as five of her siblings have kept her in check, and as a result, despite being a princess, she has lived an impoverished life.

Anyway, in conclusion, these women are currently short of funds.

'Besides, how are they even here right now?'

Today is the day Kania takes a leave to visit her sister once a month.

I was a little relieved, since on this day, no matter what happened, she would always go to visit her sister, but now she stabbed me in the back.

And today, the Saintess is required to perform the sacred ritual at the Church. Since it is an essential ceremony that is held only once a year, the church must have been in turmoil by now.
