---

Fiona grinned.

"That's what I like to hear."

She stretched once more and walked toward her balcony.

"Today, we're putting two Sovereign-tier monsters on the stage."

"Two beasts I watched with my own eyes."

"Fight, destroy, and then get packed into Luxoria Castle's vault like trophies."

"And now, they're up for sale."

She waved her hand.

"Auction goes live in one hour."

"Get your wallets, tokens, contracts, and calm breathing exercises ready."

"Because this ain't gonna be peaceful."

Fiona smirked.

"One hour, chat. Be ready."

She then tapped the interface and ended the stream.

She then stretched again and rubbed her neck.

"Now to fuel up before the madness begins."

She made her way toward the restaurant.

The scent of fresh bread, sizzling meats, and rich broth filled the air.

At a corner table, she spotted Lord L.

He was already there, sipping some tea.

"Morning, Lord L."

Fiona said as she approached, still half-waking.

Lucius gave a nod.

"Morning, Miss Auction Queen."

She grinned and slid into the seat across from him.

"Today's the day. I'm starting the auction. So…"

She leaned in.

"Where are the Sovereigns?"

"I assume they're not just gonna stroll out from a side door?"

Lucius smirked without lifting his gaze.

"Liline will show you the way soon."

"We've prepared a special containment area below the castle."

"Proper stage. Proper cages. Proper security."

Fiona's eyes lit up.

"Cages? Like the beasts are actually being displayed?"

"Of course."

"It's not just a digital listing—it's a Luxoria-class auction."

"They'll see them directly."

Fiona nodded slowly, impressed.

Just then, Lucius turned toward Fionyx.

"Fionyx."

"Prepare for Auction Mode later."

The beast nodded once, acknowledging it.

Fiona blinked.

"Wait—what's Auction Mode?"

Lucius glanced at her, amused.

"You'll see."

"It's a special protocol built into your Fionyx unit."

"It'll activate once you go live from the Auction Hall."

Fiona frowned, curious.

"You're not gonna tell me now?"

Lucius gave a faint, almost smug smile.

"What would be the fun in that?"

She sighed and picked up a plate of roast spice chicken.

"Alright, fine."

"I'll just be over here not stressing."

"While everyone waits to fight over Sovereign beasts…"

Lucius chuckled and raised his cup.

"Enjoy your breakfast."

"Your day's about to get loud."

---

Fiona leaned back in her seat.

Patting her stomach with satisfaction.

"Okay, now that was a real breakfast."

She stood, stretching lightly and adjusting her visor.

Lucius tapped the table twice.

"Liline."

From the wall, Liline phased out like usual.

"Yes, Master Lucius?"

He gestured slightly toward Fiona.

"Take her to the auction room. It's time."

Liline nodded.

"Of course. Miss Fiona, if you'll follow me."

Fiona gave Lucius a quick salute and playful smirk.

"See you at the top of the feed, Lord L."

Lucius smirked.

"Don't disappoint."

She turned and followed Liline out through the corridor.

Moments after they disappeared, the restaurant doors opened again.

Luna entered first, arms folded behind her back.

Followed closely by Loreia, who carried a slim tablet.

Luna stopped beside Lucius and raised her eyebrow.

"So... how's your new auction host?"

Loreia tilted her head slightly.

"She talks a lot."

Lucius didn't look up from his drink.

"That's her job."

Luna sat down beside him.

"You think she's ready for this kind of pressure?"

"Two Sovereign-tier beasts in one auction?"

Lucius finally glanced up.

"She doesn't have to be perfect."

"She just has to be interesting."

Loreia sighed, setting her tablet down.

"Let's just hope she doesn't trip on stage."

Lucius chuckled.

"If she does..."

"It'll go viral."

Luna smirked.

"That does sound like a Luxoria-style success."

Lucius then remembered something.

"By the way…"

He looked up at both of them.

"We did get a lot of Hack Points from the last auction, right?"

Luna nodded immediately.

"A ton."

Loreia tapped her tablet.

"We got a lot of SS-Rank Beasts."

"Easily giving you billions of hack points."

Lucius then turned toward Luna.

"You and Liora have already been upgraded, right?"

Luna laughed a bit.

"Of course."

"You think I'd let Liora be the only one with new loadouts?"

"It was... painful, though."

She smirked.

"Upgrading Loxen and my body wasn't fun."

"The war sim lasted a virtual year. Full invasion protocol training."

Lucius nodded thoughtfully.

Then he turned toward Loreia, smirking.

"So you understand what time it is, right?"

Luna grinned knowingly and turned her gaze to Loreia.

"We've all been rebuilt by Master Lucius's system at least once."

"Liora's a combat monster."

"I'm a full strategist unit now."

She gestured toward Loreia with a tilt of her head.

"But big sis…"

"You've been the one training us this whole time."

"It's your turn."

Loreia's expression faltered for the briefest moment.

Her fingers curled around the edge of the table.

"I'm... fine as I am."

Lucius stood.

"You were fine."

He walked around the table, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"But now, it's my turn to train you, Big Sister."

Loreia looked up, conflicted.

"Lucius…"

He smirked.

"You've pushed me further than anyone ever did."

"But that was when I was still learning."

"Now I have the power to give back."

Luna smiled warmly.

"Come on, Big sis."

"Don't be the last outdated one in the family."

Lucius looked her dead in the eye.

"This isn't just an upgrade."

"It's my thanks."

Loreia was silent for a moment...

Then she sighed.

"Fine."

"But if I end up screaming in a virtual nightmare..."

"I'm kicking both of your asses when I wake up."

Lucius grinned.

"Deal."
