“The first few items are usually items of no importance and that are not worth bidding on. The good treasures are the ones that come after, and from my experience, every auction always has a few rare treasures. I even heard that an ancient castle will be auctioned," Nelson said to her in a low voice.

Camila raised her eyebrows in surprise. "A building? I didn't know that was possible."

Nelson laughed and nodded.

“It sure is. The owner of the castle is apparently a descendant of an aristocrat in Clouland. He is a spendthrift who has run out of money and wants to sell his family estate."

They weren't sure if it was their voices that compelled Jaylen to Look back, but when he did, he frowned.

Someone wearing a mask in an occasion such as this?

Why was she so mysterious?

He squinted his eyes and tried to Look some more, somehow curious to know who this woman was.

As soon as Camila noticed his gaze on her, she lowered her head. Someone clapped in that moment, and she used the moment of distraction to step away from his line of vision.

Just as soon, the second item was brought to the stage.

It was a string of rare emeralds. Everything about it, its colour and shape, were of the best quality.

This time, Nelson was interested.

He didn't hurry to bid though. He took his sweet time.

Just then, there was a commotion at the entrance that distracted everyone.

Someone of importance was coming over

Camila looked in that direction to see who it was.

ALL she saw at first was a tall figure walking forward.

Then, when she finally saw his face, it was as though she forgot how to breathe.

He was here. Isaac!

The host showed him the best seat, in which he sat elegantly.

Nelson saw him and turned to check on Camila.

Camila on the other hand, felt like she was frozen in place.

Nelson touched her arm.

“If you're so scared of being discovered, I can take you out of here first."

Camila couldn't take her eyes off him.
