Gift to The People

If Arthur flicked a pin to land on the wooden floor of the auction house, he would hear its sound. That's how silent it was in the auction house after Arthur made his bid.

"Four... thousands?"

The Knight of Courage muttered from beside him. Four thousand was no small sum, as it could arm a platoon of knights from head to toe.

"Our highest bid so far, four thousand!" Ma snapped out of his daze and gestured toward Arthur. "Goes once, twice, are there no other bidders?!"

"Halt!"

The shout made Ma flinch, and he ceased talking. The Knight of Nobility rose in the air from the booth and looked at Arthur with disdain.

"You can only bid what you have."

"Alrighty," Arthur nodded and threw a ring toward the stage. It landed right in front of Ma's feet. The servant was confused until Arthur nodded at him. "Check it out."
