The bidding war for "Eclipse" intensifies, with offers soaring beyond expectations. Duke Lukius raises his paddle confidently.
"Two million two hundred thousand gold coins," he declares.
Lady Rahni, undeterred, counters swiftly.
"Two million four hundred thousand."
The atmosphere in the auction hall is electric. Nobles and collectors exchange glances, the weight of the sums being offered evident on their faces.
"Two million six hundred thousand."
A hushed murmur ripples through the audience. The sums being discussed are staggering, a testament to the sword's unparalleled craftsmanship.
Marquis Elowen, who had previously secured the Obsidian Aegis, seems torn. His desire is evident, but he remains seated, perhaps mindful of his recent expenditure.
Lady Rahni, sensing an opportunity, makes her move.
"Two million eight hundred thousand," she announces, her voice steady.
