A Walk Through The Eternity - Chapter 14
Adone was unfazed by the lavishly decorated floor that was reserved entirely for him, his sister and grandma Linda, other soldiers were guarding the entrance of the floor.
They were seated on the couch of unknown leather which was very soft to touch, looking at the crowd below.
The floor below was so densely crowded that they were not even able to sit.
Soon a beautiful young girl with blue eyes and blonde hair came with refreshments, she placed them in front of the trio as then knelt there.
“The manager ordered this lowly slave to come here and serve your grace as he is unable to personally attend your grace.”
Grandma Linda asked without bothering with the girl “When will the auction start”
“This… the noblemen that were supposed to be seated in the private booths all shifted to the floor commoner section to have a look at the Princess and the noblewoman did it for the Prince which caused delay the manager was….”
Before she could finish the fat middle aged man who greeted them outside the auction house walked up to the stage.
“I am the manager of this branch of Thousand Gold Auction House. Due to unforeseen circumstance, we were unable in proper management of this event which resulted in insufficient space for our guests so I request you that if some of you are willing to come to our next auctions we will charge you half the processing fee. I will request to please consider this as her highness the Princes and his highness the Second Prince are also participating in this Auction and we do not want to make them wait. Do we?”
The crowd instantly turned silent. Who will dare to make the genius Second Prince wait, hell who will want to make the princess who was doted by his Majesty wait? Many people tactfully turned and left.

The noble men and women also went back to their private rooms in order to not provoke the royalty.
Seeing this a smile blossomed on the face of Adone.
‘This manager got some brains, he clearly was unable to provoke the nobility in here but he used the royalty to force them back’
“Let’s start this auction then” A beautiful, voluptuous girl walked up to the stage holding a tray that was covered in silk.
“The first item we got here is the healing pills Stage 1 ‘Bone Joining’ pill. We have one pill bottle here containing 3 pills, the effects of this should be understandable from its name alone but I will still tell it to make it clear, this pill here can help a cultivator below stage 2 heal there broken bones in just a few hours”
“The starting price for the bottle is 1000 gold coins each bid must raise the price by 100 gold at the minimum”
The common currency in Agartha was very simple 1 gold coin = 100 silver coins and 1 silver coin = 100 copper coins. One copper coin was equivalent to 1$ for good understanding.
“1100 gold coins” a voice come one of the private rooms.
“For Stage 1 Bone Joining pills I bid 1500 gold coins” another voice came from the common section.
“I bid 2000 gold coins…..”

“2100 gold coins…..”
“2200…”
Both Adone and Tephanie didn’t have any interest in the pills though the commoners would even treasure stage 0 pills and even royals would likely show some interest in the stage 1 pills but one of them was just a kid who can’t cultivate and another one was a pampered little prince who hated practice and cultivation.
The pills were bought at the price of 2600 gold coins by someone in the private rooms.
“The second item that we have is a very special item that we got from the Kaiya Merchant Union” the women that brought the pills bought a big box completely covered in silk.
The manager removed the cover and a silvery white dress placed in the glass box was revealed which shocked many people but Adone was confused as Tephanie and Grandma Linda was shocked as well but they both calmed down soon but Tephanie’s eyes were shining as she looked at the silver white dress.
Adone understanding her gaze said teasingly “Grandma Linda, this dress looks ready good, it will look good on mother. I think we should buy it as a gift for her”
Tephanie expression changed as if someone just robbed her then looked at her little brother with teary eyes. “Don’t you love your sister?”
“I love sister. Why do you ask?” Adone feigned innocence and acted like a little kid who didn’t know a shit which actually suited his age. (He is 6 years old)
She wryly smiled at her little brother.

“Then Adone why are you only buying gifts for mother, not for me?”
“The dress was the first thing I liked in the auction and thought that it will suit mother well and for you, I will choose another one okay” He said innocently.
“But I really like that dress. Can’t you gift other dresses to mother and let me have this one?” She blurted out angrily without a shred of royal demeanor.
“Okay, I will gift this one to you but you owe me one favor.”
“Yes, I will owe you one but you can ask me anything I would give it to you without anything, why must you get a favor?”
“You will know”
The manager on the stage had already started explaining.
“This dress here is made from the fur of stage 2 demonic beast Silver Ice Fox and processed by one of the best tailors in the Kaiya Merchant Union. It provides excellent defense from physical and elemental attacks along with protection from harsh weather”
“The bid will start from 10,000 gold coins and will be increased by 1000 gold for every bid”
Before anyone can bid, a voice stopped them.

“I bid 20,000 gold on the dress”
First, everyone stopped because the voice came from the second floor but they were even more shocked because of the price of the bid but the manager just smiled because he knew if the royalty bid no one would dare to outbid them thus the bid the quoted would become the last bid.
“This dress goes to the princess her highness”
Without bothering with the counting he just announced that it was sold.
Grandma Linda just smiled as knew that no one would outbid them that’s why she just doubled the price in the first bid because it would harm the name of the royal clan if they harmed the profit of the merchants.
The girl that brought the refreshments, brought the dress to them and grandma throws a pouch to her, which just appeared out of nowhere.
‘So that’s the spatial ring’ Adone looked towards the ring on the finger of Grandma Linda.
The girl catches the pouched, then bowed 90 degrees then left.
The rest of the auction was uninteresting to both of them so they started to talk to each other but their conversation came to halt due to an announcement from the manager.
“The auction will come to an end with the last item and most mysterious item of our auction that came from the headquarters of Kaiya Merchant Union to be auctioned here in the Great Grans Kingdom”
