Sunlight slipped through the open windows as I sat on the sofa, fiddling with the small object in my hand.
A few centimeters in size with a smooth glassy surface, it was a small sphere with a faint white light emanating from it, barely noticeable in the well-lit room.
After my conversation with the Marquis yesterday, I returned to my room and acted as if I had truly fallen under the effect of his ability, and with all those cameras and devices around this building, it was better for me to assume I was being watched around the clock.
The best thing to do was to go along with the mission and wait. Based on what he said, I think someone important from the Void system will come here during the auction and talk to me, perhaps the head of one of the branches or something like that.
