Matthew put his arm around Ruby's shoulders and led her out of the auction building without paying attention to the auctioneer. As soon as Ruby stepped out of the auction house, she did not see Basen or Maulvi around, and their carriage had also disappeared, a sign that they had already left.
They probably managed to find Marlene and hurriedly left the auction house so that no one would be able to trace Marlene's whereabouts.
From the start, Maulvi and Basen's existence were only considered Ruby's assistants, so no one would care when they disappeared.
"You are leaving too soon, Your Majesty."
Ruby stopped walking when she heard someone speaking to her. She turned her head to the side and found the figure of the nobleman who had previously fought over the Bloodmoon Relic with Matthew.
He was still wearing a mask, but Matthew was already growling as he could recognize the smell of the man before him.
