Alta glanced at Cyneah sideways as they were escorted by Marigold and a couple of other Crepuscule mages to the transmission room. She did not know how they ended up in such a tricky situation when they kept as low a profile as possible while the open auction was in progress. They bid on some items and even won a couple to keep up appearances, but when the items were delivered to their room, to their horror— luckily, it did not show on their faces— Estrid was the one who came.
Maybe it was because of Cyneah's innate magic, but when Estrid exerted her magic influence on them, she did not affect her. In fact, Cyneah had cast an invisible veil around the four of them and protected them against Estrid's magic influence.
