At a high-end auction, Princess Reynolds shocks attendees by buying a tortoise-shell green helmet—listed for 500,000 gold—for five million, triggering jeers from Don and other nobles who remind her the 100-million lot is reserved for Princess Lambert's pagoda. The live feed amplifies the embarrassment and gossip that she’s spending to spite her ex. As nobles gasp over her reckless purchase, Reynolds immediately raises the stakes by bidding ten million on the next item, a military-grade Light Dagger, leaving the room stunned and the auction unresolved.
