Before Grand Auction

"Why, I can't use something that belong to my family?" the Crown Prince asked with a smile.

"No, your Majesty. It just, how do I exhibit such treasures without the others questioning where it came from?" she asked back.

"Just tell them the royal family interested in supporting Elkom Auction House, and merely using a slightly ruined Spirit Oak Fruit as a way to do so,"

Sophia let out a relieved sigh from his answer. She would be hard pressed if she let the others knew of the existence of the Spirit Oak Fruit.

However, if they learn it came from the Royal Family, she did not have to worry that the others would try anything.

After all, trying to steal such treasures would made them an enemy of the of the Royal family, and subsequently, the entire Kingdom.

Unless they planned on leaving the Kingdom, no one would be insane enough to steal the Spirit Grade Treasures.
