The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 41



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

Two days later.

I met Carl in front of the carriage to attend the secret auction of the Arko mansion at 7pm.

I held my mask in my left hand and held out the sword mask with my right.

“Here, it’s yours.”

“… … .”

Karl’s face seemed to be distorted as he checked the mask design.

“You don’t like it?”

“How can you hear that?”

“There’s nothing I can do. It’s just the mask, so I have to wear it.”

“no-.”

“Let’s go quickly, servant.”

He got into the carriage and gestured with his hand, as if he would not accept any protests.

Carl sighed, took the bag of money from Mandy, and got in.

As expected of a place where secret auctions are held, the Arko mansion was located in a rather remote area.

The road to the mansion was narrow and was blocked like a main road on the way home from work due to carriages coming from all directions.

We got off in front of the mansion, wearing masks.

I’m a normal cat mask.

The knife is… … .

“Oh, it suits you better than I thought?”

It was a rabbit mask.

And it’s cutely pink too.

“cute.”

“… … Are you serious?”

“It’s outside here.”

“yo. this.”

“Yeah, I’m serious. My servant is the cutest in the world right now.”

As he raised his thumb, his smooth lips twisted beneath the mask that covered half of his face.

As I tightened my grip on the bag, the veins in my hand started to pop out.

Hmm, I guess I should stop teasing now.

I showed the invitation to the security guard at the entrance and went inside.

Tables were placed throughout the huge hall. Silver-masked staff walked around handing out drinks and finger foods.

“Carl, let’s sit here.”

I sat down with the servant at an empty table in the middle.

The staff didn’t care where people sat, but they did stick up to some attendees and offer them seats near the front.

Unlike the other ordinary tables, there was a vase of gorgeous roses on that table.

‘I guess this is the VIP seat.’

At first glance, it seemed like a gathering place for high-ranking nobles, as the clothes were flowing with rich fur.

The masks are also really gorgeous.

Of course, there were many people who wore masks that were just as unique and striking.

‘and…….’

I looked at the man wearing a mask with five-colored feathers in wonder, and ended up hitting my drink glass with my elbow.

Clang!

People’s attention was drawn to the sudden loud noise.

“Oh, sorry… … .”

As I unconsciously reached out to clean up the broken glass in embarrassment, Karl grabbed my shoulder and stopped me.

The staff also came running like lightning and tried to stop him, saying they would do it themselves.

They quickly cleaned the floor and even brought us new drinks.

You made me suffer for nothing.

As I awkwardly took a sip of my drink, Karl quietly wrote a note and handed it to me.

You little punk, trying to comfort your embarrassed master―.

“… … .”

He looked at me with eyes telling me to answer quickly.

This damn servant.

“… … Okay, I understand.”

I don’t want attention either.

How much did you hate it that you couldn’t even put it into words but expressed it in writing?

At that time, I was grumbling inside.

“It’s a wonderful night, folks.”

A man wearing a red ribbon tie stood on the podium at the front of the hall and spoke.

The owner of the mansion and the organizer of the auction.

It was Arco Sir.

The people who had been chattering away shut their mouths and looked at him.

“Thank you for visiting our Arco Mansion today. We have prepared many items for auction, so we hope you have a pleasant time.”

Arko spread his arms. In response, firecrackers exploded next to the stage.

It was the signal to start the auction.

The rules of the secret auction at the Arko mansion were simple.

Each auction item has a pre-determined starting price, and anyone wishing to win the item simply raises a sign.

If you want to offer a higher amount than the auctioneer is calling, you can do so by holding up a sign and saying so yourself.

Once the auctioneer has made three bids, the winning bid is confirmed and cannot be cancelled. It cannot be transferred to another person.

All successful bidders must pay the price in cash on site immediately, or their bid will be automatically cancelled.

I decided to sit back and watch the auction until Baron Silver came out.

Soon the first auction item appeared on the stage.

“Now, here’s the first auction item of the day! It’s a five-colored diamond, also known as a millennium stone, as it is said to only appear once every thousand years!”

The jewels in the glass case showed off a dazzling light like a rainbow.

It was so intense that I was momentarily overwhelmed by the light.

The game world is indeed different. Diamonds like that are actually implemented.

“I’ll start with 1 million gold.”

As soon as the auctioneer called out the price, signs popped up here and there, especially at the front table.

Thanks to this, the auction price continued to soar.

“I received 10 million gold. Do you have 15 million gold?”

From millions to tens of millions.

“I received 200 million gold. Do you have 250 million gold?”

From tens of millions to hundreds of millions.

“We will finish with the highest price of the five-colored diamond, 520 million gold.”

“Oh yeah!”

The ultimate winner of the bidding war stood up and cheered.

The atmosphere was heated up as competition was fierce from the first auction item.

The overheated crowd rushed like a pack of dogs to the next auction item.

“Hey! Who are you, the one who’s been bothering me all this time?! Do you know who I am!?”

“What? You pushed me away because you don’t have money! Then don’t you know who I am?!”

Sometimes, they would raise their voices or fight, so the knights who were deployed for safety were dispatched.

How long did I endure the relay of auction items that were new and fancy but had no interest in me?

“Now, the item up for auction this time is the Baron Silver Mine, originally owned by Viscount Dominic!”

Finally, the auction item that contained the power I had been waiting for so long has come up.

Perhaps because the fact that the Baron Silver Mine was on the verge of closure was widely known, not many people showed interest.

It seemed like everyone recognized this as a break area, and they took a break while drinking beverages and eating food.

But I!

“I’ll start with 70,000 gold. If you want―”

Before the auctioneer could even finish speaking, he raised his hand.

Me, me. Please me. It has to be me!

As my eyes sparkled with longing, Carl quietly placed a sign in my hand.

Oh no, mistake.

The auctioneer proceeded with the auction as soon as the sign was properly raised.

“Do you have 75 thousand gold?”

Please don’t go.

But contrary to my wishes, a competitor appeared.

It was the person at the table next to mine on my right. And of all people, he was wearing a dog mask.

“Yes, I received 75,000 gold. Do you have 80,000 gold?”

Of course, this time I raised the sign too.

That’s how our fierce competition began.

“Do you have 95 thousand gold?”

If I listen.

“I will now increase the amount by 7,000 gold. Do you have 102,000 gold?”

That guy heard it too.

It’s small compared to the previous auction items, but the price has been rising steadily as the two compete.

“Do you have 800,000 gold? 800,000 gold?”

After giving and receiving, I finally reached the expected price that the system told me.

But neither I nor my opponent showed any sign of backing down.

‘Won’t it go beyond expectations? Surely that won’t happen…? … ?’

As I was feeling anxious inside, the system blinked before my eyes.

【Well, the estimated price I gave you is calculated based on the assumption that the auction was held solely for the ‘Baron Silver Mine’ without any variables.】

… … So the estimated price and the actual winning bid price may be different?

My head was spinning with a strong sense of crisis.

If you keep competing like this, you could easily earn over 1 million gold.

By then, they’ll have developed a competitive spirit, and they won’t give up because they feel it’s a shame to have come this far, right?

‘It won’t work. I have to make a move here.’

He opened his mouth, holding up a sign solemnly.

“1.1 million gold.”

I personally bid an amount equivalent to my entire fortune.

Again and again, in a loud voice.

“What, what, all of a sudden… … ?”

As I suddenly raised the price, a panicked voice was heard from the right.

That would be because the amount is far greater than what they had expected the mine to be worth.

“I received 1.1 million gold. Is there anyone who would like to offer more?”

I remained calm on the outside, but trembled on the inside.

Please just back off.

Please, please!

“If you don’t have any more, I’ll finish it with 1.1 million gold.”

The auctioneer lifted the gavel. The murmur at the table across from him grew louder.

I watched the situation with great tension. If I were to be pushed back here, it would be over.
