บท 498: Auction

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Hasn't the Ring of Cassandra been in the Dimitrescu family for over five hundred years?"

"After so many failed attempts by various influential factions to either buy or even steal it in the past few centuries, who could have imagined that lady Dimitrescu would be willing to just give it up?"

Of course, while many were impressed, a few others couldn't help but sneer. "Giving away the one thing that made their old aristocratic family unique for temporary clout… no wonder they declined so fast."

Emilia naturally wasn't very interested in their gossip, but she still quite liked how the ring looked. With a faceted royal gray gemstone and an intricate platinum band, it might look unremarkable at first glance, but the more one looked, the more exceptional it started to appear.

Of course, since it had a more muted aesthetic by itself, the beauty it would be able to bring out greatly depended on who was wearing it.
