Chapter 617: Auction House - Interviews (1)
Heather wasn't lying when she said we were going to visit an apartment area; behind the front of the store was a giant complex of rooms, each one apparently housing at least one person, or perhaps up to three people depending on the occupants.
Long hallways spread out in front of us, and there were alcoves here and there that led out to hold more people; there were even stairs that traveled upwards and downwards, suggesting that the Auction House was a sprawling complex that went in all directions, which honestly made sense.
If you had the money to spend and wanted to house things that were extremely valuable, obviously you would have a myriad of places to store those things, and the first thought that popped into my head was a place under the ground, somewhere it would take considerable effort to reach and to extract from.
"Alright~! I'll take you over to Arani Yunii first and leave you all in one of the common rooms before heading off to corral the others and bring them over as well! Ah, and I can see your curiosity, Miss~! Everyone living inside of these apartments are the debt slaves; they have contracts with the Queendom that they need to fulfill, or they end up getting bought by someone like yourself for a shorter amount of time.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
They work here, inside of the Auction House, as well as inside of Birchan as many different things; construction, servants, waiters, cooks, entertainers... whatever they are good at, they get sent to a government owned business and work there until their contract expires, upon which they are freed and allowed to return to society as a normal citizen~!"
I gave Heather a nod as we kept walking down the hall, its length slightly surprising since I had felt like the Auction House wasn't that big, but I was well aware that appearances could be deceiving, especially with how big something could be...
"There's no need, Arani; just be comfortable."
Renna waved her hand and tried to calm Arani down, but the Elf shook her head and turned around, heading back into her room and grabbing something as she began to dress properly, all while Heather smirked from the side as she watched the Elf's wide hips and fit ass closely.
Honestly... I was watching too, since Arani was a really good looking woman, but still...
Returning to the door with a jacket in her hands that she swiftly donned, the Elf looked every bit of the butler that I was expecting as she fixed her cuffs as she said "I... I couldn't possibly be unsightly in front of a Lady like yourself, Duchess Poinset, or you, Miss..?"
"Astra. And believe me, I don't mind either version of you, Miss Arani..."
She gave me a small smile before turning back to Renna as she asked "I assume you wish to purchase my contract..? If so, we should certainly begin discussing a few things, Duchess Poinset."
