As soon as the lights outside Annaliese and Lothur's VIP room went out, the two of them promptly sat down in the main seats in that area.
From there, they faced a big area with an empty space between the first and the third floor of this theater-like building. There, the rows of seats on the first floor were crowded, while on the opposite side of Lothur's VIP room, a stage about 30 meters in length stretched from one end of that space to the other.
While a single round light source illuminated the center of that stage, Lothur looked around the surrounding area, seeing the other balconies of the VIP rooms on three sides of that area.
There were two levels of special rooms in the local auction house. One was this one on the second floor, where Lothur and his sister-in-law were at the moment. The other, on the third floor, was where normally the most prominent individuals of the province stayed when coming to this place.
