Chapter 187
Seres’ eyes widened as she saw him still casually take out his pocket watch and check the time.
“Everyone, stop!”
Whoosh!
At Seres’ short command, the forces swirling through the auction hall vanished in an instant.
“Let’s go.”
Seres moved immediately. Just as the Aserian Crown Prince had said, if the soldiers caught her now, things would get very complicated.
Of course, if she properly explained the reason she was here, there wouldn’t be any real problem… but there was no need to even briefly give them the wrong impression that she was part of this illegal auction, right?
“Airien, that’s enough.”
Seres ran forward and approached the boy wearing Artia’s ring.
Earlier, when the fight between the three dukes and Kainel broke out, she had sent Airien to the boy’s location to protect him.
Around the boy, protected by the shield, flowers had suddenly bloomed everywhere.
“…….”
The boy, expressionless at first, broke into a momentary expression of awe. The little rabbit kicking away falling debris from the building above was incredibly fascinating to him.
Airien’s flower-field shield was enough to block monsters, magic, and the magical energy radiating from the two dukes and Kainel.
But…
Thud thud
[Beep!]
Crash!
It couldn’t block physical force at all. The debris flying toward the boy had to be kicked away by Airien himself.
“Kid, follow me. We need to get out now.”
“…….”
The boy stared blankly at her, showing no sign of understanding the urgency of the situation.
With a short sigh, Seres quickly grabbed his hand.
“We have to go.”
Holding the boy’s hand firmly, Seres strode forward. Only then did the boy reluctantly follow behind her with small, hurried steps.
[Beep!]
Airien, too, followed the two of them, hopping along.
“…….”
The boy stared at Seres again. Slowly, his gaze moved down.
He couldn’t tear his eyes away from Seres’ hand, which was holding his so carefully, guiding him without causing any pain.
