TAP, TAP, TAP!
Ideally, people were supposed to be tapping with their fingers.
But somehow, the terminals that were supposed to be silent, sounded like hailstones pelting the floor.
Apparently, as their fingers tapped furiously at the screens, their feet tapped too. Some stomped. Some even kicked. A few nobles were so worked up that they looked ready to flip the table if their connection lagged for even a second.
King Garick found it…astounding. And mortifying.
He and his aide sat there like dignified statues, the only two creatures in the room who weren't furiously hammering away at their devices as though their lives depended on it.
But somehow, it really did.
Because, as guild guests, they could see the updated shop, but they couldn't actually buy anything.
"!!!"
The King's jaw tightened as he watched the numbers dwindle in real time.
Ice cream tubs: 100 to 0
Gone. In seconds.
He hadn't even managed to touch his terminal before they vanished.
And it didn't stop there.
