questline 2
"wait! Serena, wait.."
he called her but she didn't stop walking, even though he caught up with her in no time.
she grabbed his wrist and started to run, looking back at the people in the market area looking at them, she pulled him to far away from the street to a alley.
"let me explain..."
she looked at him with teary eyes before punching his chest again and again.
"ouch.."
*sniff* *sniff*
her face become redder as her tears and sweat messed up her hairs making her look like a miserable woman.
"D-Do you... know? you know how scared i was.. "
he do not have any experience with woman but still his instinct told him to embrace her, he couldn't bear to look at this lovely woman in this miserable state.
"I am sorry... i really am, please don't cry i know.. but i can't help it.."
she struggled to get away from him.
"let go of me.. I don't care.. if you don't want to tell me anything at all.. do whatever you want.."
he gulped but still he can't just spill it out, who knows.. if she will start to make distance from him after knowing the truth... that he isn't the Jimmy she loved, he didn't want to loose this woman.
"...okay i will tell you, everything you want to know...."
...
"haah.. it's a lot of work, but it's very different .. than Marie."
he didn't bother wait for her to wake up... and left after putting some clothes on, and dressed her as well, he lightly kissed her forehead before, said "I hope you choose a partner wisely."
he closed the door after getting out of the room, and rushed downstairs, it's been only a few hours.. but Alice has already left..
Ethan felt something is wrong.. "who the heck is that guy with him.. not good... i should visit mother."
"Mother, it's been a while.. how will she react?"
He couldn't wait to see his mother, so he decided to visit her today, he could feel a lot of emotions but he didn't flinch as this is natural that memories sometimes comes with their emotions.
while walking to the south he could hear people gossips, he couldn't figure out the situation, so he went to a lady near the herb shop.
"Excuse me young lady."
she looked at him and almost fall in her knees, looking at the profound demeanour and flawless handsome face of this elf.
"y-yes ?"
"well.. the people around gossiping something.. what is it all about?"
she was feeling warmness in her heart.
"ah.. well it's the young master of Ning clan, he was killed by someone this morning."
she said while looking down, as she was very nervous around him.
"Ning clan huh? who killed him?"
"that.. I don't know, I heard that he left immediately after kill him from the spot, I don't know the details though.
"i see.."
"excuse me, but I can know your name ?"
he gently smiled looking at her cute small face.
"Ethan, my name is Ethan"
she pondered for a while but still couldn't remember, where she heard this name before.
"by the way thank you, i shall take my leave."
he turned around to leave, she felt a sense of lost, but before he could take a step, she grabbed his hand subconsciously,
"huh?"
he looked at her beautiful eyes, as she snapped out she immediately let go of his hand, as she flushed looking down in embarrassment.
"sorry i didn't mean it.. i jus-"
"it's okay.. i understand."
he said while leaving he didn't even looked back at her once, while she sighed in relief.
"what am i doing?, i grabbed his hand out of no where?"
...
while his mother's residence is not that far, as she has a mansion in the capital, but visiting her something the former would never have done, he wasn't angry that her mother forced him to leave the house but she didn't wanted to see him again, she never visited him nor did she allowed him to visit her.
all comes to an end. he decided to have a proper talk to his mother even he though he could guess some reasoning behind the incident at the bar.. the man in hood and Alice.
as he reached at her mansion, he asked the guard.
"hello, is duchess Elizabeth here?"
the guards looked at his handsome face, and his ears and hairs that resembled the duchess Elizabeth's. the guard nodded to the other guard and gulped.
"Young man, do you have an appointment?"
"um.. Duchess Elizabeth is out for an auction event at the golden crow auction house."
Ethan glared at the first guard with his piercing gaze.
"I don't need an appointment, and i hope what you said is true if I unable to find her at the auction house, it's not gonna easy for you."
the first guard frowned,
"are you threatening us brat?, leave at once."
"I don't want to waste my time on you either."
and he left for the guild.
the other guard hit the first one,
"are you crazy you bastard? do you know who he is?"
"why are you hitting me? who the heck is he anyway?"
"are you blind you mother fu*kr? can't you guess from his appearance?"
the other guard felt cold chill in his spine, as he realised what he meant.
"d-do... you mean h-he is..?"
"yeah he is Ethan the son of the duchess, why would he need appointment to meet his mother?"
"..."
....
At the auction house at the rooster wand city Ethan could see many carriages and guards are gathering at the front, he walked at a middle aged man standing at the side of the road.
"hey! what's going on? why is it too crowded today and this many carriages?"
the man looked at him head to toe at narrowed his eyes.
'who is this young man, looks like from a big family..'
"ahem!, this young man today's auction is a bit popular for a few certain treasures, many prestigious family are presenting today for the treasures, and Duchess herself is accompanying us today."
"i see that's explains why is it too hyped, by the way, how do i enter the auction house?"
the man looked at him, his expression changed to a disgusted one.
'is he just a trashy loose cultivator? looks like, i waste my time.'
"go away.. it's not for poor commoners like you."
Ethan looked at him in astonishment.
"poor commoner? huh? hahaha..."
"what are you laughing about? "
"it's nothing just tell me what do i need to enter the auction house?"
"tsk, only families with invitation can get inside, of guild members."
"I see.."
he said while walking towards the entrance gate the guard looked at him,
"who are you? show us your invitation."
the middle aged man looked at him while laughing, "haha.. what are you doing i already said commoners are not allowed."
Ethan took out a jade slip, which contained a certain runes resembled a 'Qilin', the guard widened his eyes but didn't said anything.
"your grace you may enter."
he showed the way inside and the way to the Exclusive VIP room reserved for the Duke's family.
meanwhile while the middle aged man's jaw drooped to the ground, and the guard sighed.
after a bit of hesitation he thought not to visit the room and enjoy the auction.
...
meanwhile from a certain balcony someone with black robes with a hood watching his every movements.
right! that's the man, who was with Alice at the bar.

"what!"
he understood the situation and didn't act rashly and picked the nearest seat in the general chamber.
the man in hood, looked at him in surprise, as a mysterious grin appeared on his face.
the private chambers are for big families and this general chamber is a little bigger from the private ones, the stage is also very huge.
after a few moments from the back of the stage, a beautiful lady with bunny ears walked to the stage.
[hello my friends, i am Ruby today i will be hosting the this event hope you enjoy you time.]
while the men are staring at her huge chest of the bunnygirl and drooling over, the females looked at the perverted old men with disgust.
