That night Victoria was rather curious about the people around her. Every chance she got, she used to mingle and get caught up on the politics of the age. Admittedly her own beauty attracted attention from some of the nobles there. For this night, she even updated her appearance, wearing a burgundy dress in one of the most popular styles of the season.
To a few, her name made them wary for some reason. As if they had heard of her before. Victoria would chat with them briefly before parting. The information she got from them had certainly been enlightening.
As for the auction, she had willingly donated a piece from her own art collection. An ivory pillar standing four feet tall decorated with iconography from a religion long forgotten since the rise of the church.
She was amused when it sold for a considerably high price. Now she just drifted, listening and chatting while holding a glass of red wine. Every once in a while she would take a sip and just.. smile.
