Two days later…
The city glittered with lights brighter than usual. The auction house stood like a fortress that night, filled with the scent of wealth, ambition, and secrets.
Billionaires from every corner of the world had their eyes glued to the shimmering stage. Celebrities, draped in designer gowns and priceless jewelry, whispered among themselves, each trying to guess who would dare bid for the crown jewel of the evening—The Heart of the Frost Queen.
Bidding began with lesser articles, rare paintings, ancient relics, exotic artifacts. They shifted hands with sharp clicks of digital screens and polite applause. And then—the diamond appeared.
The hall fell silent.
Encased in crystal glass, under beams of pure white light, the Heart of the Frost Queen gleamed with a brilliance that seemed almost unreal. Its cold blue fire reflected in every pair of eyes.
