Forced Bride Of The Vampire Lord

The boy's eyes flickered, still he continued to look at the ground while waiting for the auctioneer to accept the bid.

Gasps could be heard and shock was written on the face of everyone.

"One.. one million gold coins by our esteemed guest! Is there anyone who wants to bid more?

One million, one" the auctioneer scanned the whole room, though he already knew the answer.

The amount was enough to buy more than ten slaves. Then why would someone waste it on a single slave.

They could always have more slaves with strong physique. Though the boy was from black forests of Amora, he was still weak and malnourished.

"One million, two."

"One million, three!" the bell rang, "and sold!"

"See, when it comes to needing the rules that we made break down easily." she pursued her lips and looked away as she did not want to argue with him.

She knew that once the person was sold, she would never be able to live freely and even if she would tell him that she bought him so that he could live a better life she would only be called a hypocrite and would be laughed upon.

She stood up silently to leave when he raised a brow but did not stop her only to make her realize that the door was closed.

"I was going to the stage to complete the transaction." picking up the small cookie from the table, he placed it in his mouth and closed his eyes leisurely as if he was enjoying its taste.

As if he had not heard her, he did not react which made her confused if he was going to take his words back and not pay her for the transaction.

Another girl was brought on the stage this time, "this is the descendent of the royal family of the ruined land. It is said that her family was in support of witches and did black magic to keep them beautiful forever.

Just look at her skin…." the man continued to sing praises of the girl so that he could gain more and more gold from her like other slaves.

She wondered how the slaves as strong as siren and warrior were controlled by them so easily.

Wouldn't they be able to revolt and get freedom if they will be united!

"You are thinking too much. The slaves are trained to not go against their master.

Have you never seen tamed beasts? Anyways, you will get the delivery of your product at the end of the auction.

And they would not ask money from you, it would be only insulting if they do so.

They would collect the money from the palace later. Now…" he pointed at the dishes on the table and waved her hands to come closer,

"Come and eat as much as you can, since you will not be able to eat a single thing in the feast later. If you are keeping yourself hungry for that!"

Her eyes scanned his face as she wanted to know why he was so sure that they would not be able to eat later?

The way count was preparing, she was sure he would hire the best chefs. But if he had said so, she had no doubt that the program was going to be an epic again.

She walked closer and picked up a small roll from the table as she sat on the chair. She did not want to look at the stage anymore or she would buy more slaves, thinking that she could give them a better life.

But when her own life was hanging on a weak thread, would she even be able to handle so many.

Rafael's deep red eyes, still scanning her every action even when he was leisurely sitting as if enjoying the ambiance. A smile formed on his lips when she let go of the worry for slaves.

Though he did not agree with the slavery methods too, there were there before he took birth and are going to stay after him too. Changing the system would only entangle you in it further like a cobweb, you can not get rid of.

It would be better if a girl like her would stay out of it. She was still a frail one, which could get hurt easily, not like the one he remembered in his dreams.

The hazy memory where she was strong enough to beat him and tie him on the tree only to shout all night.

A wry smile formed on his lips as he stared at the ceiling. The past felt just like it was yesterday yet he knew decades had already passed.

Just when he was about to ask her if she ever had dreams in which she was completely different than what she was now, the bell was rung indicating all the slaves were sold and everyone can come to take their ordered goods.

"It is time for you to meet your loyal knights." he whispered slowly as he looked at Evan and blinked.

The girl was already drowsy as her head was learning on the table with her eyes closed, her parted lips were a bit wet leaving a patch of wetness on the table.

He could not believe that she just slept while eating when he was standing in front of her.

The girl was completely unfazed of his charms that made him wonder had his sex appeal diminished or were her standards too high.

His eyes narrowed at her out of unpleasantness as he picked up a plate and then let it go.

It fell on the floor creating a harsh sound and the girl sat up straight with a stark as she looked around to see what had happened.

Her eyes were still unfocused but her actions were to flee if she felt even a slight danger.

"I must say that I have never seen a person as careless as you, my dear wife. Now i wonder what if the slave kill you when you are sleeping to get his freedom back!"

"............."
