Nora turned around sharply. Her earlier confidence had been replaced by pure disbelief.
"Impossible… there is no way they have that kind of money. Lucy, verify that bid immediately. If they are serious about offering one hundred thousand then make them prove they can actually pay it."
Dianna immediately reached into her pocket and pulled out a ring. She held it up for them to see before speaking calmly.
"I would like to trade this instead of the one hundred thousand gold. I cannot put an exact value on it myself, but I am certain it is worth far more than that."
The moment Nora and Lucy saw the ring both of them fell silent. They recognized it instantly.
There was only one such ring in the entire world, and even attempting to create a replica was considered an unforgivable offense that could cost the offender their life.
This was not merely a priceless royal artifact. It was the wedding ring Ravana had personally given to the late Queen, Dianna's mother.
