When they arrived at the auction house, Primrose noticed how crowded it was. Nobles from all over had gathered, some from the Vellmoria Empire, and others who had traveled from neighboring kingdoms just to attend.
Since coming to the auction was Salem's main goal today, he had actually dressed like a proper gentleman for once. He wore no bright colors or glittering accessories, nothing that would make the guards instantly recognize him as "that flashy beast."
It seemed he used to come here often in the past, so the guards could recognize him easily if he wore that flashy attire.
"Your Majesty!" Aster called out, waving excitedly the moment she spotted Primrose in the crowd. Of course, she didn't call her by name; they were in public, and it would've been inappropriate to address the Queen of Noctvaris too casually in front of others.
Even though neither Primrose nor her friends liked using formal titles with each other, there were times when it simply couldn't be avoided.
