In the Light Screen's footage, Gloucester's auction was a game for the upper class. Ordinary fairies and humans alike had no qualification to attend; an invitation was required.
However, Oberon had extensive connections. He knew Muryan, the lord of Gloucester, and could obtain an invitation directly from her.
The people of the real world could only cry out in amazement at this. Was Oberon's mission to overthrow Morgan's rule or something?
As it turned out, Oberon seemed to know fairy lords from every faction. His network was absurdly vast.
Most importantly, all those fairy lords were willing to associate with a rebel like Oberon, and they even seemed to be on rather good terms with him.
With that sort of attitude, he truly was "beyond words in his loyalty."
Oberon then went to find Muryan first, telling Cloud and Artoria to look around Gloucester for the time being. Before leaving, he gave Artoria a meaningful smile and a wink.
The implication could not have been clearer.
Artoria's pretty face immediately reddened. She knew Oberon was giving her some time alone with Cloud.
Though shy, the secretly delighted girl eventually took the initiative and invited Cloud to stroll around Gloucester with her.
Cloud did not think much of it, nor did he refuse. Just like that, he began wandering the streets with Artoria.
The boy and girl thus embarked on something that resembled a date.
At least, that was how the people of the real world saw it.
As for the people involved—Artoria was secretly delighted, with a smile on her face as well, but she did not seem to understand the concept of dating. She simply felt happy being with Cloud.
Cloud, meanwhile, had even less of an idea that this was a date. He merely thought it was fine
