The Royal Military Academy's Impostor Owns a Dungeon [BL] novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157: Familial Bonds

Old Mitchel thought he’d seen it all.

But the Master of Ceremonies for Mylor’s Grand Auctions for more than three decades couldn’t have been more wrong. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}

As an experienced host, he had never felt this much pressure since the last time the Empress attended a charity auction he was emceeing.

This time, it was like facing a pack of hungry beasts, literally.

And they were ravenous.

But who wouldn’t be when you know exactly what you’re buying?!

While they added a few items to the auction to pad the program as the main items were being prepared, it was obvious that people were buying the items to get to the better parts.

The attendees weren’t even listening to the items and were just outright buying them off.

Like the full-sized packs of these Banana Chips.

Now, Mitchel could understand precisely why these people were acting like that.

Before the auction began, he was given a sample to see what he was about to auction.

And maybe it would’ve been easier if he didn’t know. But now that he did, his knees just wouldn’t stop trembling.

It would’ve been worse if they found out why these nobles, who usually liked sending representatives, came in as families.

Families that were watchful of each other. In reality, the enemy was not the one from the other box but the family member who volunteered to represent the House.

There was a real risk that the items would not return home intact, in full, and without little or big bites.

And so, most families decided to come themselves in case such a thing happened.

It was just that they didn’t expect the same thing to happen to nearly all the households.

If anything, Princess Kira was lucky in this regard. For as long as her father hadn’t tasted the food, then there was nothing to miss in life. And one less family member to think about was one less competitor.

She just had to keep it that way until she found a way to link up with the vendor.

But for many of these families, that wasn’t the case. And it only changed the moment they figured out just how many items would be up for sale.

Such was the case for the normally close Arzen twins.

Duke Caius was surprised to see the twins attempting to put each other in a headlock as they fought for a safely enshrined packet of what looked like snacks.

And the two, who were much younger and still green behind the ears, couldn’t match the Duke’s speed when it came to snatching the packet that they were fighting over.

And it had always been, may the best person win in their household. So, the Duke was able to see just what was getting the normally harmonious twins screeching at each other.

Labeled as ’Banana Chips.’ The golden chips sometimes varied in size, but what didn’t change was the crispiness and crunchiness of each bite.

And the Duke, who hadn’t had the chance to taste the popular fruits going around, didn’t even know how to describe this sweet taste that definitely did not taste like those horrid nutrient solutions.

All he knew was that it was an experience he’d never had before, not even when he ate those passed-down relics that were supposed to make him weep with joy.

But this one?

Mind-blowing.

Not to mention the blinding spiritual energy that was emanating from these golden chips.

How in hell did his children get their hands on something like this? He thought as he looked around for evidence, only to find a box with the Mylor family seal.

No?

Well, that’s unfortunate. Thought Duke Caius, who had to deal with the twins who were now eying him as if they were ready to throw away their family fortune.

Not a box, but an actual pack.
