It just stayed there quietly, exuding an unparalleled brilliance, making people irresistibly fascinated.
That is the magic power of wealth itself.
Even Yang Andes, who had already considered it as good as his, couldn't help but hold his breath again after seeing it under the spotlight.
As for Baron Ges, sitting in a certain box, his palms were even more heated with excitent.
If not for his lack of strength, he wished he could shalessly snatch it into his pocket, to be passed down as a family heirloom.
The host on stage restrained his excitent and continued speaking in an impassioned voice.
"This diamond has a diater of nearly five centiters, weighs about 100 grams, possesses 76 facets, and its erald green luster is uniquely unparalleled in the world, extraordinarily beautiful as if it's a miracle left in this world by Lord Saint Sis... Please forgive my presumption, but I believe your first reaction upon seeing it is the sa as mine! Besides exemplifying beauty, it is also excellent magic device material... but if it were , I certainly wouldn't place such beauty in such a dangerous place!"
"This precious auction item cos from the esteed Mr. Roxey Colin! His family discovered this treasure in a distant land and decided to present it as a gift to Princess Erin and the Campbell Duchy!"
"Starting bid! One hundred thousand gold coins! Each incrent not less than a thousand gold coins!"
This is no longer a contest in which ordinary people can participate.
Most people, upon hearing this figure, have already given up the competition, while the previously reserved nobles now show interest.
Whether or not it's practical doesn't matter at all; they need such a treasure to embellish their scepters and manifest their prestige.
At the sa ti, this deal won't be a loss for them either; gold coins will always accumulate, while such rare treasures will not.
Looking at Princess Erin, who was once again entranced, Luo Yan chuckled lightly and said in a gentle voice.
"Among my nurous collections, this one caught my eye imdiately, as if it held a special charm for , making it hard not to notice."
"It truly is... too beautiful." Erin replied instinctively, yet she hadn't imdiately awakened from that brilliant glow.
The love for beauty is universal, not a vulgar sentint, and she is no exception. Moreover, what she did not expect was that Mr. Colin, whom she had only t once, would bring out such a heirloom treasure to support her wishes.
She had no doubt that he was a kind gentleman, but this is beyond re kindness or benevolence can explain.
While she was at a loss on what to do, using surprise to mask her inner panic, a gentle word floated into her ears like a breeze across a lake, instantly tinting the tranquil and elegant waters with the crimson glow of myriad miles of rosy clouds.
"Indeed, but what most attracts is not its beauty, but how much it resembles your eyes."
Seeing the eyes that, for a mont, were bewildered like a fawn lost in the forest, Luo Yan could almost hear the beating heart.
Perhaps there really is so vampire blood in him, for a mont he even had the thought that she must be utterly delectable at that mont.
However, he was not a vampire, nor did he hold such shallow intentions.
With no ripples in his heart, he smiled as he took a step back, leaving space for the prey to breathe and wander in imagination, rather than pressing on relentlessly.
"...Please forgive my audacity, I have no designs, just purely wish to present this gift to you."
