The Heart of Helu'ai (1)

The Hidden Dragon was the name of the most famous auction house on the continent. It has branches in all capitals and only opened when there was a marvellous treasure to showcase. In Jardine alone, its door has been closed for several months, so when they announced the sale, everyone expected to see wonders that even kings and queens would covet.

"Wow, look at that… Everyone who means something is here tonight," the crown prince was impressed. He walked into the main hall in a good mood as he observed the people attending the event. Nobles, rich merchants and even magicians and scholars were all present. 

Asher was excited for several reasons. First, it was a rare occurrence for the peerless valuables to appear in their kingdom, and second, his pockets were full of gold coins. He doesn't remember when the last time he owned such wealth, and he was ready to spend it all tonight.
