--Alexandria POV--
I watched as everyone excitedly piled out of the room, bickering and laughing with one another as I patiently waited near the corner of the room, waiting for the crowd to disintegrate so that I could go back to my room.
I was fiddling around with the silver bracelet loosely hanging around my wrist when I saw a shadow loom over me and looked up to see Alistair staring at me with a confused look.
"Oh, hello Alistair," I smiled at him.
"Aren't you coming?" He gestured to everyone that was walking into the connected room. I hesitated with my answer before shaking my head. It's an auction for rich people, I won't be able to afford anything if I went so there's no point.
Besides, I'm beyond tired and my feet hurt from all the dancing. I've also eaten one too many desserts
