The guard who was asked scoffed, "The auction house."
Auction House?
Everyone began to share glances to each other and even Evangeline felt the gaze landing to her but she was as confused as the rest of the people in the room, knowing that they all had never heard anything about an Auction House. They didn't even know that an auction House exists and what it was used for.
Even though Evangeline herself was always trying to familiarize herself to the Seraph's society for her own safety, this was her first time ever hearing about an auction House. And why would they go there?
"But why?" The woman asked again but the guard this time sent down a frightening glare that quieted them down.
As curious as she was, Evangeline did not beg the guard for answers. It was already a mercy that he had replied once; she knew better than to test what little patience remained.
