Chapter 147: The world’s greatest show! (6)
They heard the info that the third auction item was on the stage. It was time.
"We are going inside.
Yes, Vice Captain-nim.
The Imperial Guard responded to lisabeth's signal.
She thoroughly looked through the merchant guild lobby that was full of attendants and servants from the noble households.
Finally, she confirmed that Joanne de Haas was standing behind her.
The person who attacked the princes carriage, the person who was the most famous ghost artist in the Empire looked scared unlike her usual self.
The young Countess warned her.
You will need to do it properly. This is a chance that the Marquis-nim has given you.
"Chance my ass. This is just his way of trying to take my bastard of a brother down with me I know, I know. Dont look at me like that.
I'm here so that I can feel free as well.
Joanne mumbled.
She was hugging rolled up papers the size of her body.
lisabeth checked the lobby again before quickly starting to walk.
The people standing on the steps moved to the side and silently bowed as the Imperial Guard walked forward.
The group instantly made it through the lobby and to the entrance of the auction house. At that moment
Young Countess-nim. I'm sorry but Joanne-nim cannot enter.
Someone urgently came over and stopped them from entering.
It was an older man wearing luxurious and clean clothes.
He seemed to be Emille de Haas's right hand man or secretary.
He stood in front of them as if to stop them from entering.
Scared employees of the merchant guild soon rushed over to block the door as well.
lisabeth's grey eyes turned sharp.
Do you dare to get in the way of the Imperial Guards on their mission?
How could I have such disrespectful wishes? However, Joanne-nim has made a deal with the merchant guild leader-nim. She signed a contract that she would never enter the Haas merchant guild until she died and gave up her inheritance. Coming in here would be a breach of that contract and an act that disturbs the rules of the family.
Ha.
The young Countess scoffed.
She knew of the Haas merchant guild leader's abnormal actions but she had no idea that the people around him would be trapped in such unbelievable thoughts.
To use family matters as an excuse to get in the way of the duties of the Imperial familythey lived in their own worlds far away from reality.
They were acting as if that Haas bastard was the lord of this city.
They seemed to believe that everything would end if they could not protect him.
Cut the bullshit and step aside. We are moving as her Majestys second sword.
Gilbert, move if you don't want to get captured. This noble lady will really pull her sword out!
Joanne shouted. The old man silently lowered his head but did not step aside.
lisabeth motioned with her chin with a cold look on her face.
Clang!
Aigoo!
The Imperial Guards pulled their swords out and the people, who had held their breaths while watching, groaned in fear.
Joanne became nervous and bit down on her lips. Everything looked as if it would be destroyed.
She really needed the other ear cuff.
She was not someone who could enter the merchant guild with her own two feet.
It was at that moment.
Everybody step back! What the hell are you doing?! Snap out of it and get back to work!
A womans thick voice echoed through the area.
lisabeth and Joanne looked toward her at the same time.
An employee of the merchant guild who smelled like the sea was running toward them.
There were others behind her as well. They must all do manual labor as they all had large figures.
They pushed away the old man and the others who were shaking while standing in front of the door.
What are you all standing there for?! Get lost!
Lisse, arent you in charge of moving the auction items?! Why is someone who would normally listen to the merchant guild leader-nims orders-
Because her Majesty is a thousand, no, a million times higher than the merchant guild leader-nim!
lisabeth scowled and observed them. It seemed as if an internal conflict had broken out.
This Lisse and her friends used their overwhelming strength to push the employees in the front away before bowing toward the Imperial Guard.
The young Countess clicked her tongue and
-Bang!
She kicked in the auction house door.
My goodness!
Gasps could be heard all around them. One of the Imperial Guard members pushed Joanne from the back.
She walked into the auction house and whispered to Lisse.
Lisse, I knew you were still sane. Good job.
I didnt do it because I was sane. I'm scared as hell too.
She clenched her teeth and responded. Her tightly clenched fists were shaking.
However, the merchant guild leader-nim severely mocked the royal priest-nim. And you
Lisse looked right at Joanne.
Her eyes that had become stern from the hard work in the merchant guild started tearing up.
She smiled and got up from her seat. Duke Sarnez, who was rarely shocked like this, covered his mouth.
I'm sorry, but Marquis Srnit has enough reasons to slander me. He had that terrible incident on the stage just now
Hey, shut the hell up.
Emille stopped talking. It was because the response came from an unexpected spot.
His head was almost creaking as he looked toward the stands.
The sparkling blue-gray eyes were full of wrath and loathing.
A voice he had never heard flowed out of the person's mouth.
Did the Marquis-nim look like a pushover? Do you want to get beat up? The Marquis-nim doesn't care for shit like you. He has never had any interest. You were just playing the drums and putting on a show all by yourself before you got hit by the backlash.
Dame Christelle?
Everybody, please tell your attendants to take out a piece of paper and a quill pen. Write out the names Haade. O. Jansen and Joanne de Haas and compare them. They are the same letters just in a different order.
Christelle shouted loudly. The nobles actively participated.
Joanne had arrived at the steps in front of the stage at that moment.
Emille had a gaze as stiff as metal as he alighted.
He looked ready to drag off his sister at any moment. At that moment
Clang!
Oh Almighty God!
"Ahh!
A black sword was pulled out and pointed at the merchant guild leader's neck.
Some of the people could not withstand the pressure of a Grade 8 swordsman and fainted.
The crown prince had raised his body like a wildfire.
I will check with my own eyes.
Cdric growled like an animal. His orange eyes burned as if he wanted to burn this person up.
Eek Your Royal Highness, ugh.
So keep that glib tongue of yours away.
There was a prick where the blade poked into his skin and a hot drop of blood formed around it.
Siiiizzle
Eek, ow!
There was the terrible sound of the Sword of Wisdom scorching his skin. Emille groaned and knelt down on the ground.
Joanne walked past the ailing Emille and got on the stage.
Her legs were shaking after receiving the bright spotlight but she firmly held her head up and looked forward.
The stands were so dark that she could not see anybody.
But that seemed to give her the courage to continue.
These Are the study pieces and rough sketches I have drawn up until now. A portion is missing because I used them as fire tinder in the winter. The rest should be under my bed or in a corner of my cabinet, but the Imperial Guard members did not manage to find them. Anyway
Wow!
Admiration and shock followed.
Most of the nobles here were well-versed in art and were fans of Jansen.
As a result, they could easily imagine the final pieces after seeing her rough line art and pen .
Joanne continued to speak in a nervous voice.
And this is the esquisse for . I don't know what Emille told you, but it only took me fifteen minutes to draw this. It took about a week to come up with the idea too.
Unbelievable!
"A genius truly is a genius.
The nobles started mumbling almost as if they would explode.
They looked at Joanne with awe while looking at Emille with scorn.
The situation for the siblings had been completely opposite until about ten minutes ago.
Emilles face was turning red and blue with shame and anger.
This is nonsense! Your Royal Highness, my older sister is slandering me to bring down my reputation. She is probably doing this to get back her inheritance despite giving it up,
Shaaaaaaaaaaa!
Quite a bit of something fell onto Emille's head.
He couldn't even breathe properly as he flopped around and fell.
The crown prince quickly withdrew and slashed his sword in the air.
Christelles eyes opened wide as she observed the things flopping by her feet.
Wow, isn't this a prawn?
Mr. Haas. How do you plan on paying for the sin of selling a divine beast to his Royal Highness by lying and saying that it is a demonic beast?
Aaarf!
There was the sound of a man's soft voice and something resembling a puppy.
Everybody looked toward the door to the auction house. The blessed purple eyes curled up with joy.
That pink big sis over there and black haired big bro are also hungry. Can you make a lot more so that they eat well?
Aarf.
The divine beast in my arm cried in a loving manner. After that
Ploooop!
Papapapat!
Wa, ugh!
A seafood buffet charged toward Emille.

At least Emille won't be hungry?
