"See? Her reaction was very suspicious. They are definitely scheming something," Jenia said, not missing the chance to fill Estelia's ears with her conspiracy theories.
Estelia couldn't deny it. That girl's reaction had definitely been strange. Just what had Eren told her? The question kept tugging at her curiosity.
In the end, she couldn't control herself and asked him, "What did you tell her?"
"I just told her that the perverted Seventh Primordial is coming. After that, she suddenly left for some reason." Eren made up a story. He didn't want to tell her that he had simply teased the girl, which probably made her so angry that she had to leave.
"Why did you have to whisper it then? You're clearly lying!" Jenia exclaimed, pointing a finger at Eren.
"Didn't you see the reaction of that manager when I said it out loud? He even pretended not to hear it." Eren lazily shrugged. "Should I have said it before the servants as well?"
It was impossible to trap him in the web of his lies, as he had already thought of everything.
"Oh? Now you're scared of that? Do you really want me to believe that?" Jenia crossed her arms, clearly not buying Eren's excuse.
"Oh? Are you not afraid to say it?" Eren asked, revealing an amused smile as he saw a figure approaching from the distance.
The person had no aura, or even any presence. But he was being escorted by the Manager himself. Eren didn't even have to use his identification skill to guess the identity of the person.
"Of course I'm not scared." Jenia raised an eyebrow. "I'm not a coward like you."
She opened her lips, about to tell Eren that she had done what he couldn't. But before she could speak, she heard a man's voice coming from behind her.
"Why don't you tell me more about it?"
"Hmm?" She slowly turned around, frowning to see who was talking to her. But the moment she saw that person, her face almost went blank. How was it possible?
She knew that the Seventh Primordial was arriving at the Auction House, but he was right behind her? Did it mean he heard everything that she said about him?
"Lord Rezekiel," she mumbled, not understanding what to do in a situation like this. Even if she also came from a significant family, it couldn't compare to a Primordial.
"Why are you giving a pervert such respect? I don't think I deserve it," The Seventh Primordial said with his hands behind his back.
"I-i didn't mean it like that." Jenia tried to clarify, but it was already useless to come up with an explanation.
She had said those words with such confidence and pride, that they truly came across as her true feelings. It wasn't as if there was any lie in those words in the first place.
"Young lady, your tongue is very sharp. But instead of using this tongue to utter such words, you should make good use of that tongue in other ways." The Seventh Primordial was frustrated, but he also caught sight of the First Primordial's daughter, which made him restrain himself.
Even though Estelia was so seductive that he simply wanted to take her straight to his bed, he couldn't do that. Her father was going to bury him alive if he even revealed any intentions like these.
Moreover, she was also technically his niece, as his sister was Estelia's stepmother. In front of Estelia, he had to control himself, even if he was furious at Jenia.
He placed a hand on Jenia's shoulders, taking a good feel of her skin before walking past her. "Be careful next time. Not everyone is kind-hearted like me."
