Ethan's POV
'12,000,' Lucien Vael's voice followed, though there was an unmistakable hint of hesitation and excitement mixed within in his voice.
I wondered if he feared the creepy old hag or if there was another reason that I wasn't aware of.
'15,000,' the same monotonous, old voice sounded again. Lucien sighed in resignation and stopped his bidding. But when it seemed like the old hag had won the delicate elf girl, a calm and gruff voice interjected.
'20,000,' it was Victor, who had remained mostly silent throughout the auction.
'25,000,' the old voice came again, this time tinged with a little urgency.
Victor spoke again his voice firm, "30,000 Lifeblood Crystals."
The old hag's loud and raucous breathing was heard like an old, broken machine but it quieted down quickly. In the end, Victor won the elf girl.
