Resulting in the young prince winning The Abandoned Temple in The Forbidden Forest, The Sky Tower, and the mage tower in Cinis?
Of course, there were many properties such as estates, inns, auction houses, smaller palaces, and so forth scattered about. But he had no real interest in them.
And he didn't want surplus puppet legions, statues, relics, and so forth.. If there were more brown inari stuff or even statues of Celes, Aurora, and so forth then he'd buy them but there simply wasn't.
Causing the young prince to then adorably pout after receiving the deeds before then adorably handing the palace in the kingdom of inari's to Elyris.
Causing her to then immediately refuse it surprising the young prince while she sent a wave of mental messages as a response.
"I want to share it with my first pillar.. a home away from home for me and you.. I don't want it otherwise"
Elyris mentally confessed having been very adamant that it'll be their special place surprising the young prince.
Causing him to then happily nod before then hugging both Elyris and his mommy and adorably kissing both of their hands causing both to then smile.
As for how everything he bought will be handled, Aurora had sent garrisons to protect his assets shortly after he received the deeds.
However not to The Forbidden Forest resulting in Vina handling that matter by sending her five hundred Sacred Powerhouses to protect, clear, and clean up such a place since apparently, they were far too many to be considered a 'normal' escort.
Along with clearing and rebuilding its roads and checkpoints while Celes having been informed of this handled the paperwork with Silas and Selphie meaning everyone will know who owns that temple but not who's protecting it.
If they search for their origins they'll just be told it was members of the young prince's personal mage legion.
Something no one knew about, to begin with so even if it bites him in the butt later it didn't mean much at the moment, and no one would truly bother Aurora's Sacred Powerhouses garrisoned at any of those places.
Especially since he was her holy prince so everything was quite secure right away. Which would no doubt mean both Aurora and Vina had handled it all quite easily.
While the young prince spent quality time with both his mommy and Elyris all the while adorably making sure Gemma and The Assassin Squad Leader who hadn't been named were more involved up until he simply called her Lady Salen?
He simply wanted them involved and so did Aldra resulting in the two working together all of which was unknown to the young prince.
Resulting in Elyris adorably shaking her head at the sight while the young prince adorably sent mental messages to Vina, Celes, and Aurora telling him he loved them.
There really wasn't a reason but he simply wanted to remind them, soon enough however all of the items had been won and most attendees at least got 'something' incredibly valuable to say the least.
The reasoning was quite simple, each person valued things differently especially those visiting from Polus and Firvus along with several others from other continents. Resulting in the mood itself being surprisingly chipper funnily enough.
Soon enough however the first segment was finished and the second was on its way resulting in a similar wave of displays appearing, surprising everyone by how valuable all of it was.
There were ten estates or to put it simply manors and palaces, eleven high-quality puppet legions in the tens of thousands per legion.
Fifteen skyhold-sized sky castles and towers, eight fleets of thirty mage warships each accompanied by three capital ships, a small fleet of ten multi-use merchant ships heavily armed and armored much like the warships themselves, and seven mage towers.
Four alchemy titans, three sky breaker mage canons, six sets of fifteen mage canons each that could be placed on ships, castles, or anything really, and even some low-ranking noble titles?!
These auction items were no doubt targeting lesser royals, their kingdoms, those without titles, and tycoons.
And those who wished to ensure their future!
However, for the young prince.. most of it didn't interest him outside of normal curiosity since he could simply go to any imperial workshop and ask for some surplus for free if not paying them to construct these sorts of things.
Not to mention he had far too many titles, to begin with too!
However with that aside he 'was' still interested in some of the things on display that were never mentioned.
That being three whole sky castles of Senex simply hidden along with three 'inactive' Senex puppet mage legions who were a mixture of alchemy, spirit, and puppeteering.
Along with five strange female spirit constructs, that looked related, and finally The Castle of The Queen of Senex!
All of which were covered in barriers causing the young prince to then immediately ask Aurora about them surprising her having not cared enough to really look at them before.
Causing her to then in turn ask Lady Lu to throw it all together into one set to make it easier for her holy prince to buy surprising Lady Lu having known chances are they wouldn't sell hence why she hid them so well and hoped to ignore them.
The seller related to all these items was in fact the same unknown VIP who was quite possibly a demigod or godling wanting to sell it all since Aurora hadn't been able to snatch it all during that time.
Resulting in the young prince knowing it'll take a while since he was told they'd be the last on to then hesitantly ask his mommy to excuse the attendants.
Before then worriedly getting up and walking some distance while followed by a worried Elyris before then pulling out a black orb and activating it.
While the young prince worriedly shushed Elyris and waited until the person answered, soon enough The Queen of Senex herself had finally answered while she seductively laid on her intimidating obsidian throne.
Causing her to then adorably pout which was quite terrifying in itself since he knew she was still acting.
So even if she played the adorable big sister her terrifying aura and mannerisms still leaked to the point he was simply terrified of her.
She was The Original Monster, genocide, horrofying feasts, mindless playthings, and husks.. she was more like evil incarnate and she didn't hide it outside of this act.
Surprising Elyris by his reaction and the sheer terror in his eyes all the while he was soon woken up by a scary laugh.
"Little sister handler.. I've known you'd miss me but to react in such a way to your sister truly hurts! But I suppose it's natural with things being the way they are.. however let's move onto the updates?"
"I've taken over the slave trade and their assets, kept some cuties who had the blessing of youth who supported such activities, they were truly appetizing!"
"They wanted the appearance of being young girls while selling little girls so I gave them more than what they deserve!"
"My bed is truly warm and my 'frustration' is released every chance I get, don't worry I won't kill them or cripple their minds! What's the point of playing with broken toys and ruining their personalities, habits, and hobbies?"
"So I have made them my consorts and sent the slaves after taking and replacing some of their essences on their way to The Temples of Aurora and anyone else who'd give them fulfilling lives?"
"Of course, their memories won't be the same so I gave them 'mercy' and for those whose minds were crippled I eased their pain and erased such painful memories and healed them where it mattered?"
Vania adorably recounted having cleaned up the mess of those poor base humans, those young girls with blessings of youth who were in fact much older and were pillars of the slave trade became her everlasting playthings!
She removed the memories of such a terrible life after 'punishing' them as a form of mercy while making them her own consorts? While as for the victims she did the same albeit she didn't punish them and instead did quite the opposite.
A little girl became a plaything and her mind was crippled.
Oh dear, too bad everyone who caused such suffering magically became blood mists!
And oh no she was both magically and completely healed as if nothing had ever happened and had no memories of it all? She must have been a lost orphan who was lucky to make it to the temple safely!
To put it simply Vania did that with the majority of the slaves so they could live normal, healthy, fulfilling, and happy lives!
Be it terminal illnesses, curses, memory blocks, inactive blessings, or anything for that matter they were all cured, purified, and resolved so Vania herself despite being such a 'unique' person.
Had quite literally went beyond the call of duty and used everything she had to ensure this with every slave she encountered! As if a kind goddess even if it was because she wanted her sister to both trust her and allow her more freedoms?
As for those responsible for such suffering, there was a clear bias.. the men magically became bloody mist, and so did their male customers who didn't free such slaves for bragging rights.
Leaving only those with the blessing of youth used to kidnap and trick base children who wandered into places they shouldn't.
Resulting in her 'playing' with them and relieving her frustration, while after such punishments they became 'normal' girls with memory gaps not knowing they used to support disgusting acts?
Resulting in them reverting to how they were before they became monsters and served Vania faithfully.
While even repairing the relationship with their families who only ever thought they had either run away or gone exploring.
While the families who knew their activities had no memories of it and simply thought their children, or cousins, became adventurers?
Of course, she had also made alibies by finding and preparing long forgotten businesses and reopening them having made sure some people knew it and remembered shopping there at least with no flaws or inconsistencies present.
And she did the same with several other businesses and even made a small trade confederation to handle it all.
Resulting in a happy ever after and the saving of lives and hearts? Along with redemption and so forth?
Making Vania a saint if anything? However, she was still evil and had consorts who had a surprising amount of freedom and even funds to enjoy their lives as well. So quite possibly a win win..
Causing the young prince having still felt terrified of her and had previously made sure her ability to play with memories had been severely restricted to only help those victims.
And no one else under the careful eyes of a goddess or two to then adorably calm down and pouting.
Even if 'sister' was acting like a saint and indeed helping people she was still evil and had killed millions during her last crusade.
He simply couldn't trust her, at least not yet. Causing her to then surprisingly become saddened after seeing such a reaction since she did enjoy their talks to an extent one would in a similar situation.
Causing her to then adorably sigh and the young prince to then adorably apologize before then updating her on what he had found at the auction.
Surprising Vinia causing her to then adorably nod all the while stretching her attractive yet older deluded royal elf form and sighing.
"If true then I'd truly treasure my sister's gifts! Thinking of treasure.. I've felt the disturbance and the completion of that old project, the only person outside of the gods that could truly kill me is now around, I hope my sister doesn't wish to kill me for such little things? And I felt there were others too.. however, flies will forever remain flies so I won't bother with them"
"I know chances are and your 'unique' situation that only you could have made that happen so I'll play nice sister, we're all yours after all so I won't bother with it all, as long as things don't change and you fulfill your part of your obligations then I won't mind sharing you, my sister"
"Thinking of sharing, I bought a small insignificant island the size of The Celestial Isles and it's off the coast of both The Kingdom of Bronze and Spades? I paid half a million platinum for it, I named it New Senex! Even if it's in some backwater of a continent I still find it quite peaceful and away from those pesky greater races.."
Vania adorably updated all the while quickly retracting both her aura and bloodlust to make her little 'sister' comfortable enough with the changing of topics.
Causing the young prince to then happily nod that she managed to find something she liked and a place that was comfortable for her.
Before then remembering the five hundred thousand platinum causing the young prince to then adorably pause wondering how she obtained such an amount causing Vania to then playfully nod.
"Most of my assets were never found and neither were my vaults, in the beginning much like Lady Aurora I also took advantage of such matters and we even agreed to stay out of each other's way in the beginning. Right now I have seven hundred million ethereal gold or seven trillion platinum?"
