-------------------------------------------------
With the rules clarified and the atmosphere fully ignited,
The first grand auction of Trivenivrata finally began in earnest.
And from that mont onward—The royal arena transford into a battlefield of wealth.
"Five hundred gold coins!"
"Seven hundred!"
"One thousand and two pearl crates!"
"Add sandalwood rights from our caravan routes!"
The voices rose continuously through the arena as rchants competed fiercely for the rights to Trivenivrata’s products.
The black grapes alone sold for an amount that left smaller traders staring blankly in disbelief.
And that was rely the beginning.
One after another, products from the kingdom were introduced.
Rare fruits grown from the fertile lands blessed by Bhudevi.
Vegetables with unusual flavor and freshness.
dicinal herbs cultivated near the sacred riverbanks.
Special grains with richer texture and longer preservation life.
Each item sparked aggressive bidding wars among the rchants.
The more samples they tasted—The more dangerous the competition beca.
Because the products genuinely surpassed expectations.
At first so rchants had believed the kingdom exaggerated its agricultural quality for prestige.
Now?
Now several traders looked ready to duel one another for distribution rights.
After finding the quality of the product example gave from the kingdom.
anwhile at the center of the platform, Prince Shakuni absolutely thrived within the chaos.
"Only THAT much?"
He looked theatrically disappointed toward one wealthy trader.
"I have seen richer generosity from temple donation boxes."
The arena burst into laughter.
Imdiately another irritated rchant shouted a higher bid just to recover dignity.
Prince Shakuni pointed dramatically.
"Now that sounds like a serious rchant!"
More laughter erupted around as the auction is getting more heated.
More bidding.
The prince had sohow turned economic warfare into entertainnt.
Even rchants losing bids found themselves caught in the excitent.
Above the arena, seated beside Gandhari, Devara quietly watched the avalanche of wealth flowing toward the kingdom.
"...."
"...."
Gold coins. Gemstones.
Silver.
Trade pledges. Rare materials.
And perhaps more importantly—Recognition of this auction.
Every successful bid strengthened Trivenivrata’s legitimacy economically across the surrounding lands.
anwhile, Gandhari occasionally hid amused smiles watching her brother manipulate wealthy rchants into emotional bidding wars.
At one point, a rchant bid nearly double his original limit purely because Prince Shakuni looked unimpressed at him with pity which irritated him so much.
Then the auction moved toward sothing entirely different.
A drink.
At first many rchants appeared confused seeing decorated containers being carried forward carefully by attendants.
Prince Shakuni raised one eyebrow dramatically.
"And now..."
"The next product of Trivenivrata."
"A fernted fruit mixture prepared through carefully preserved thods."
Imdiately servants began distributing small tasting cups throughout the arena.
The fragrance alone drew attention of every rchants present.
"...."
"...."
"...."
Sweet. Rich. Sharp. Complex.
Which made them curious.
Several rchants cautiously tasted it first.
Then froze in shock feeling their taste buds exploded.
One rchant imdiately looked down at the cup again in disbelief.
Another almost spilled his drink after the second sip.
Because the flavor was extraordinary.
It carried the richness of multiple fruits blended together with subtle ferntation that deepened rather than ruined the taste.
Refreshing to drink as if they wanted to drink more and more.
Dangerous aspect a drink could have.
Profitable of marketed rightly its a duck which was about to lay a golden egg.
The arena exploded instantly afterwards.
"I want eastern trade rights!"
"Two thousand gold coins!"
"I offer gemstones from mountain mines!"
"Three thousand!"
"I include caravan protection contracts!"
The bidding escalated wildly.
Even rchants who previously intended conserving their wealth now entered the competition aggressively.
Because everyone understood imdiately.
This drink could beco addictive among nobles and wealthy traders across kingdoms.
Prince Shakuni anwhile watched the chaos unfolding before him like a delighted strategist observing battle plans succeed perfectly.
"Ah,"
He sighed dramatically while another massive bid echoed through the arena.
-Sigh!
"The beautiful sound of rchants destroying one another financially."
Even Devara finally laughed quietly hearing that.
"-Haha!!!"
And by the ti the fernted fruit mixture rights were finally sold—The treasury officials recording the incoming wealth had already begun looking slightly overwheld.
Because Trivenivrata’s first auction was no longer rely successful.
It was historic.
Hours later—
The first grand auction of Trivenivrata finally ca to an end.
And the royal arena looked like the aftermath of a glorious economic war.
rchants sat exhausted in their seats.
"...."
"...."
"...."
So stared blankly at their ledgers as if they had seen a ghost.
Others clutched their newly won trade contracts like victorious generals returning from battle.
Before the rchants who had mocked them earlier.
A few simply leaned back silently, ntally calculating how much wealth they had just spent in the heat of competition.
Because sowhere along the way—The auction had stopped being purely about profit.
At the beginning, the rchants had entered cautiously.
Strategically.
Cold-minded.
They calculated market reach.
Transportation costs.
Regional demand.
Profit margins.
But then—
The bids started climbing.
And Shakuni happened.
That was the real disaster.
Because sohow, through mocking remarks, dramatic comntary, and perfectly tid provocations, Prince Shakuni had transford rational businessn into competitive warriors fueled by ego.
One rchant increased his bid because another called him poor.
Another doubled his offer after Shakuni looked disappointed in him publicly.
A third spent nearly his reserve treasury because soone laughed at his "small kingdom finances."
The cycle beca unstoppable.
Pride challenged pride.
Ego challenged ego.
And before they realized it—
Gold had begun flowing like river water.
Now, at the end of the auction, many rchants finally felt reality catching up.
Their money pouches felt suspiciously lighter.
Very suspiciously lighter.
One exhausted trader looked down at his remaining coins and muttered quietly:
"...When did this happen?"
Another rchant across from him answered imdiately.
"The mont Shakuni started smiling."
Several nearby traders nodded grimly in agreent.
anwhile, the treasury officials of Trivenivrata looked increasingly stunned while overseeing the incoming wealth being recorded and transported.
Gold coins filled storage chests rapidly.
Gemstones. Trade bonds.
Silver bars. Rare crafted goods.
Even future trade commitnts from distant rchant guilds.
The sheer amount gathered from a single auction surpassed many expectations.
And above it all, seated upon the royal platform, Devara quietly observed the exhausted rchants below.
"...."
Not mockingly. Thoughtfully.
Because today had proven sothing important.
Trivenivrata no longer needed to chase recognition.
Recognition had co to them willingly.
The kingdom now possessed:
Sacred legitimacy.
Economic montum.
Growing population.
Strategic geography.
And most importantly—Attention.
A dangerous amount of attention from the rchants after this auction.
Beside him, Gandhari watched her brother proudly.
anwhile Shakuni stood at the center stage still looking completely energized despite ntally bankrupting half the arena.
One rchant finally pointed toward him accusingly.
"You manipulated us!"
Shakuni placed a hand dramatically against his chest.
"I rely believed in your financial confidence."
The arena erupted into tired laughter and collective suffering.
"-Hahaha!!!"
Even so rchants who lost heavily could not truly remain angry.
Because despite the chaos—The auction had been brilliantly organized.
Transparent. Structured.
And Profitable.
And strangely enjoyable.
Many already knew they would return for the next one.
Which, from an economic perspective—Was perhaps the most dangerous outco of all.
Over the following days, caravans departed steadily from Trivenivrata carrying the kingdom’s newly auctioned goods toward distant lands.
Long lines of guarded trade wagons crossed roads, river routes, and mountain passes carrying sealed containers stamped with the roaring lion emblem of Trivenivrata.
At first, most kingdoms viewed the incoming products with mild curiosity.
A newly established kingdom entering major trade markets was unusual—But not alarming.
Then people tasted the products.
And the situation escalated imdiately.
In western markets, nobles purchasing the black grapes quickly demanded additional supply after the first shipnts vanished almost instantly.
In southern trade hubs, the fernted fruit mixture beca wildly popular among wealthy rchants and local rulers alike.
Elsewhere, the vegetables and fruits from Trivenivrata drew stunned reactions because their freshness lasted unusually long while their flavor surpassed normal expectations.
The dicinal herbs too began attracting attention among healers and physicians.
Again and again, the sa conversations spread through marketplaces across Bhulok1.
"Where did this co from?"
"Which kingdom grows produce like this?"
"Trivenivrata."
"The new kingdom?"
"That recently established one?"
"No wonder the rchants fought over the rights to sell these. according to the rumors around."
The reputation of the kingdom spread rapidly afterward.
Not through war. Not through conquest.
But through taste.
And taste travelled frighteningly fast.
Inside several royal courts, even kings and nobles began receiving the products personally through high-paying rchants eager to impress influential custors.
So rulers initially dismissed the growing praise as exaggerated rchant tactics.
Then they tasted the goods themselves.
And imdiately ordered further procurent.
One noble reportedly beca furious after learning another kingdom secured exclusive grape distribution rights before him.
Elsewhere, wealthy rchant guilds that had lost during the auction began regretting their decisions intensely.
Because the profits now being generated by the winners were becoming absurd.
One trader who won fernted drink rights reportedly earned back nearly half his auction losses within days.
That story spread very quickly among rchant communities.
anwhile, in many marketplaces, buyers specifically started asking for products carrying the royal lion seal of Trivenivrata.
The seal itself began gaining value.
Trust. Prestige. Demand.
The economic identity of the kingdom was forming at terrifying speed.
Naturally—
The surrounding kingdoms grew increasingly shocked.
Because this level of market impact from a kingdom so newly established should not have been possible.
Not this quickly. Not this successfully.
Reports started flooding into royal courts...
"The products are outperforming local goods."
"Public demand continues increasing."
"rchants are already requesting expanded agreents."
"Trade houses are planning permanent routes toward Trivenivrata."
Several rulers grew uneasy.
Because economics often achieved what armies could not.
Influence. Dependency. Soft power.
Like this before them. And the most dangerous part?
Trivenivrata had not even officially crowned its king yet.
anwhile, back inside the kingdom itself, the people slowly began realizing sothing incredible.
Their holand was no longer rely admired spiritually after the Maha Shivaratri miracle.
Now—It was becoming desired economically too.
And sowhere within the royal palace—
Devara quietly continued building foundations while the rest of Bhulok1 slowly realized that Trivenivrata was not a temporary phenonon.
It was rising.
As the fa of Trivenivrata continued spreading across Bhulok1, admiration was not the only thing growing within neighboring kingdoms.
Greed had begun awakening too.
"...."
"...."
"...."
Inside royal courts far away from Trivenivrata’s sacred rivers, ministers and rulers gathered privately behind closed doors discussing the sa kingdom repeatedly.
The fertile lands.
The explosive trade growth.
The strategic river position.
The rapidly increasing population.
And the king at the center of it all.
Devara.
Many rulers openly acknowledged his achievents.
The slayer of Kamsa.
The young ruler blessed publicly during Maha Shivaratri.
The founder of a kingdom already drawing rchants, sages, pilgrims, and immigrants alike.
Even the more skeptical kingdoms admitted one thing reluctantly:
Devara possessed terrifying montum currently which they need to stop or at least slow down.
Yet for so rulers—That admiration only sharpened their greed further.
