I was reborn as an orphan, But I won't let that stop me

Annette and Loyd are now walking inside the building where the auction is held. They show the security guard their ticket and they let them in but not before they make them wear a mask over their face. Annette's mask is blue with a golden outlining and with 2 blue feathers sticking out from the left side of the mask. Loyd on the other hand got a silver mask with a few gemstones on it. Then they got led to where the auction is held and as it turns out it is deep below the ground that is only accessible through 3 different hidden doors each with a different code to open it. There is no wonder why the investigation teams have looked for this black market auction house. Once they are inside they can see many extravagantly dressed nobles. All with different masks on them. At the moment they are drinking and chatting all waiting for the auction to start. Before they went inside Annette and Loyd had made up a plan and that is to see if any of their targets are attending this auction. Although the masks complicate matters it is still easy to find out if they are the people are looking for.

So they look around without driving suspicion onto themself. Annette walks towards one of the tables that serve food and grabs a cup of tea that is for the guests who don't drink alcohol. Thanks to that she can watch people more openly. Loyde on the other hand walks towards one of the seats looking which makes him look like someone who is only here for the auction. Which is also a clever disguise. Unfortunately, she did not find anyone from the Svenses family but she did discover the younger brother of the family head of the Salone family, Walsh Salone. He is very recognizable since he is known for his rare light pink-colored hair and likes to wear clothes that reveal his chest. He is known the be a lady killer and is rumored to at least have a new woman in bead every other day. He is the type of man that Annette likes to toy with the most. Most often starting with drugging them and throwing them inside a gay brothel if they are straight or a normal one if they are homosexual. If they swing either way then she would find a different plan as she has yet to meet a bisexual player. The point is she likes to make them be traumatized by the thing they like the most, fooling around. This was of course her way to relieve her boredom in her previous life. But in this lifetime she will try to reframe from toying around with people's mental health too much as she has to set off as an example to Cassi. That way it will be less likely she will bully Lucia in the future like in the game. She will be in a difficult situation if her mistress and her beloved sister start to hate each other. She decides to go to her seat beside Lyod but before she does she is interrupted by a lady in a red mask.

"Are you new to hear Mr, I don't remember seeing you before?" the lady asks seductively.

"Yes my lady, my father sent me and my brother here to broaden our horizons," Annette says with a flirtatious smirk. Obviously trying to see if she can get any more in-depth information about the black market and this auction from an insider. Who asked her to silver herself on the silver platter.

"Oh my, where is this brother of yours?"

"My brother is such boring and stiff character, as proof of that she is the only one sitting down waiting for the main event to start."

"So your brother is the gentleman sitting over there?"

She asks Annette as she points at Loyd.

"You have good intuition my lady"

Annette says with a calm smile that makes the lady blush as she has overseen something indecent and steamy in public. 

"You are such a smooth talker, unlike all the other men here you know how to make a lady like be turn into an innocent little kitten."

She says as she uses the fan in her hand to both cool herself down and to hide her blushing face. 

"Me, here I thought that Mr.Salone over there was the top dog of flirtation on this advent."

"Walsh? While it is true that he can make any woman be want to bed, but he only knows how to give a woman sexual pleasure and give compliments that are only about a lady's looks."

"You seem to be familiar with him."

Annette stats.

"Familiar, more like I am stuck being together with a moran."

"Stuck?"

"That man is unfortunately is my fiance."

"Fiance, don't normally a marriage decided by the family begin once both the parties are of age?"

"Yes, but he refused to marry me as he wants to continue to play with women until he turns 30. So he managed to convince my parents that we needed a little freedom to adjust as fully grown adults until we get married once he turns 30."

"That's quite a feat, especially when he already has someone that can complete his life. He doesn't know what he is missing."

"My, are you flirting with me?"

"I am just trying to get on your good side so that I can introduce you to my brother."

"Why would you want to do that?"

"... well you see, it is like this... my mother has set up this weird family rule that I can't even date someone until my brother has gotten married. but he has no interest in women at all."

"So you want me to seduce him, even though I got a fiance?"

"That is not what I meant, I am just trying to introduce a wide variety of women to see what he likes. Of course, I won't mind if you try to do that. Besides your fiance is flirting around so why can't you do the same. He wouldn't have double standers now, would he?"

"You... you got a point... if he can sleep around with women, why can't I sleep around with a man or 2? Besides, it is not like we love each other so this much should be fine."

"So are you willing to meet my dear brother?"

"I would rather do this with you."
She says as she pretends to sulk.

"I am sorry but I already have someone in my heart, even if I didn't I would not dare go aginst my mother. Although the chance of my brother liking you is very slim and he might treat you rudely. He is still very handsome. But I won't force you to help me."

Annette says with a disappointed smile that mediately lures the pray in.

"I will do it, even if he hits or kicks me I still want to help you. But in exchange describe this woman that you like."

"You dont want a name?"

"No, I can't have a marriage with love so I want to support anyone who has. So if I cant help you marry the woman of your dreams I want to do so."
She with strong conviction.

"Alright, well the woman I like is very capable with a sword but is very useless when it comes to magic. She has long red hair with beautiful black eyes. Although she is very temperamental. But with me, she is very supportive and sweet."

"A swordswoman, how surprising after all not many girls are brave enough to become one."

"She is very headstrong and doesn't care about anyone's opinion. So it is more like she doesn't care."

"Oh, I see, well let's go and introduce me to your brother."

"Yes."
