My head began to spin as the frantic calculations flooded my mind like swarming insects.
Cillian wanted to buy the bust of the Moon Goddess to gift it to his mother!
Sure, the sculpture was unique and had no rivals in both form and execution, but if this one is a fake, too, then it would not take long before the artist visited the Royal Luna and put her under the spotlight for everyone to watch her humiliation.
Luna Daniella takes pride in her artistic possessions, I thought to myself, biting my nail in frustration. It wouldn't matter that the one providing the fake sculpture is at fault here – those high society sharks won't hesitate to tear her apart.
"Six and a half!" Someone else threw in their bid, and I sighed in relief, praying to the Moon Goddess that Cillian would not go further with the bidding.
"Seven million!" To my disappointment, he seemed to be set on outbidding everyone.
