The auction continued, and Lucy felt a little drowsy as she looked at the other items.
They were all items that looked grand but were practically useless. Some of them could be substituted by other items while others were of no use at all.
She could not understand why so many people wanted to bid on them.
Matthew was feeling a little bored as well. He yawned. Some of the items the auctioneer claimed were rare pieces were items that he could easily get if he wanted to. He had grown up in such an environment, and it made him sleepy to listen to the introductions.
Lucy was about to fall asleep when the auctioneer suddenly slammed his gavel.
Matthew and Lucy jumped. Their minds instantly cleared, and they looked up at the auctioneer at the same time. An antique calligraphy piece that was worth 57 million had just been sold.
Lucy yawned and closed her eyes again. This time, she was not lucky enough to fall asleep. There was constant chattering in her ears, and it was difficult to go to sleep.
She opened her eyes and tried to force herself to get through the auction. The auctioneer on the stage must have noticed the boredom of his audience. He finally introduced the main item of the day.
Despite instructing for the item to be moved onto the stage, that action was not necessary.
It was very light, and even a three-year-old could handle it. It was a gold-colored envelope with something inside, but the envelope looked very thin. It did not seem like there was anything to it.
Everyone began whispering curiously about it. They had no idea why the auctioneer would put out a useless piece of paper.
“I know all of you might find it strange for something like this to be auctioned, but I have to introduce this to everyone. This originated from the royal family of Charleston. This envelope contains a gold-colored invitation.
