The dome finally disappeared after an hour. By now both of them cleared all the traces of their debauchery in the room, though that was not really required.
"Say master, what would happen if those two old men knew that you wasted a precious rune for such an act?" Anastasia asked with a playful smile.
By two old men she meant Bai Yishan and Nicholas Dumas.
"....." Kylo was speechless for a moment. She was the one who seduced him and now she is blaming Kylo. Though it would be a lie to say he did not enjoy it.
"I will just blame it on you." Kylo said after pondering for a moment.
"Ehhh??" Anastasia protested.
"They will surely punish you." Kylo nodded his head as if he was stating a fact.
"Ehhhhh?????? That is unfair. UNFAIR! You are bullying me" Anastasia continued her protest while pouting.
Kylo took her in his arms and said while chuckling "Somethings are better left unsaid."
"...True." After a moment, Anastasia replied with an extremely serious look on her face.

"Now Ladies and Gentlemen, we will all take a break of 15 minutes before entering Phase 2 of the Auction." The pretty host, Ellie said in her sweet voice.
This Grand Auction was divided in three phases. The first one where purple colored crystals are used as currency will be used for bidding purposes.
After a break of 15 minutes the second phase of the auction will start where dark blue colored crystals will be used as money in the auction.
The third phase of Auction will be only available for the above second floor bidders. They can use any type of currency, though no one uses anything lesser than dark blue colored crystals.
"Refreshments will be served to each person in this fifteen minute break by our Auction House." The host continued in her sweet voice.
Then with a bow and polite greeting the host took her leave.
"It seems next is our turn." Anastasia said while turning serious.
*knock* *knock*
"Sire, do you need refreshments." A sweet voice of a lady could be heard.
Since the rule had been registered under a 'male' a lady would serve them. Had it been registered under a female, a male would be there to serve them.
These are just some petty services provided by the Auction House.
Kylo looked at the table that was outside his little dome he created earlier. He then looked towards Anastasia asking if she needed anything.
She just shook her head. Right now they were already covered by the hoods. But there was still no need for unnecessary risks.
"No." Kylo replied.
Like this the break time was over, with Anastasia sitting beside Kylo.
After the fifteen minute break, a new host came up on the stage. This time it was a good looking man who was on the stage. Just by the energy fluctuation around him one can ascertain that the new host is stronger than the previous one.
"Welcome beautiful ladies and hansome gentlemen after a short break. We appreciate all those who are still staying for the second phase of the auction.
I am Gareth and this year I will be the one responsible for the second phase of the Grand Auction."
With a short bow he continued "Now it is time for the first product of the second phase to..."
And the auction continued. The product was, similar to the first phase, bought by two people, one good looking man and another pretty lady.
But anyone strong enough could see that these two were just stronger than the ones in the first phase. The hosts and the attendants both changed.
And one more thing peculiar in this auction was unlike the first phase where people mainly from ground floor were the bidders, this time it was mainly the first and the second floors.
And the third and fourth floors rarely ever participated in this phases because it would hurt their 'ego'.
It was like they were gifting these two phases to the lower classes. Like parents giving juices to their children while they enjoy the wine.
And the owner of the auction house, took care of these little details.
The Auction House owner only put forward the 'juices', the items that were mostly deemed unnecessary for the 'higher' class.
The reason Kylo divided his group into three smaller groups in different stages was also because of this reason. Each of them bidding in different phases.
Like this the auction continued and twelve items were already sold.
"Now ladies and gentlemen, it is time for the final item of the Second Phase to be put on the Auction table."
