Isn't Being A Wicked Woman Much Better?

Isidor's elongated eyes, staring fixedly at the list, narrowed.

Where his sharp gaze landed, it was written "Javier Histach."

"The 3rd prince...."

That person participated in the bid for the lavender diamond, causing Isidor to slightly twist his lips.

"You wrote a rather high price."

Since the winning bid price was revised several times, there was a possibility it could be increased even further during the remaining time.

"It truly doesn't matter."

Anyway, since all the people participating in this auction were Isidor's associates, there was no chance the jewels would fall into the hands of the 3rd Prince.

And this behavior from the 3rd Prince confirmed Isidor's suspicions.

"As I expected."

From the moment he accidentally spilled alcohol on Deborah's skirt and arrived at the academy, looking around, Isidor intuitively realized he was similar to Philap.

Those who are arrogant by birth, obsessed with comparative advantage, have less sense of duty to have what they want in their hands.

"Moreover, the 3rd prince knows the secrets behind his mother, the 4th Queen, so he must be convinced that Deborah is the incarnation of the Saint, not Mia Binoche."

Isidor tossed a coin with an expressionless face, then slowly rose as the moment for the auction of the gem called "Lavender Diamond" approached.

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

The interior of the auction house was packed with people coming to see the supposed gem.

After the bidding was won, it was obvious it would be difficult even to look at the jewels from a distance, and the atmosphere became even warmer due to the beautiful faces of the participants.

In the center of the hall, a purple diamond placed in a large glass chest was wrapped in the twilight of dawn, and many nobles were betting on who would win the bid for this beautiful gem.

At that moment, there was a commotion inside.

"Look over there."

It's Rosad Seymour!

Rosad entered with his disciplined and characteristic gait, followed by a Belreck looking sensitive, who appeared with his long hair roughly tied up.

"It seems like I came here with him. It makes me feel bad."

They didn't even come together, but since they were supposed to be twins, both arrived at the auction house at the same time.

"Isn't that the fifth princess?"

Marquis Baslein was also here.

As the personalities of high society appeared one after another, the temperature in the auction house began to rise.

"Mmm."

Rosad, with crossed legs, sitting in the VIP seat provided only to those participating in the bid, frowned when he spotted the 3rd Prince as he looked around with cold eyes.

"I knew Deborah was subtly popular, but this was a bit surprising."

Of course, it's possible that the 3rd Prince attended to give jewelry to someone other than Deborah.

However, it bothered him because he had heard that Isidor and the 3rd Prince had almost dueled at the academy.

"Well, that gem will fall into my hands anyway."
