Chapter 126: Rythin (part 1)

The emissary visibly flinches, beads of sweat forming on his brow. His aides whisper urgently in his ear, but his face is a mask of conflict. House Silverfin's representative remains silent, recognizing the futility of continuing against Kallith.

Davor's voice cuts through the tension. "Nine hundred thousand medium-grade oracite from Kallith Tidestrike. Do we have another bid?"

The royal emissary clenches his fists, his jaw tightening. Finally, he lets out a long breath, lowering his hand. His silence is an unspoken concession.

"Nine hundred thousand medium-grade oracite," Davor announces, his voice steady but brimming with excitement. "Going once… going twice… Sold! To Kallith Tidestrike!"

The room erupts into hushed whispers and stunned murmurs. Kallith inclines his head slightly toward Davor before stepping back, his expression as composed as ever.
