The Prince’s eyes narrowed in rage, his triumph was quickly replaced with anger. “Who dares challenge my authority?” He didn’t care he had already placed payment for the girl, all he knows was that he was going home with her whether the guards allow it or not.
“Duke Sebastian your highness.” Replied the guard with shaky voice.
A growl left the Prince’s mouth, Duke Sebastian has always managed to get himself in the Prince’s
business and it aggravated him, he was better than him in every way imaginable, even Lady Claudia could attest.
“You will tell Lord Sebastian that I will not tolerate his interference, the girl is mine.” She became his the moment his fangs entered her skin.
“The only way you can reclaim her is if you win her at the auction, that’s what the law says.”
“The law? I am the law in case you might have forgotten.” He reminded
“I know.” The guard replied who bowing his head. “Then why would I agree to such a thing?” he
demanded, his voice tinged with skepticism but the guard didn’t reply instead he bowed down even lower.
He wanted the girl yes, but he wanted to get a upper hand on Sebastian again, maybe the lady Claudia incident didn’t teach Sebastian anything at all.
“Fine, I’ll participate in the auction.” If not for anything, he would show the Duke who really was in charge, a Prince is higher than a duke after all
***
Lucy felt herself shaking, never had she been in a room filled with vampires, especially one who might
be bidding for her, the room was filed with vampires of all age and size, but she felt herself relax when she remembered that Damien, he wasn’t like the others.
He wouldn’t hurt her.
But even at that, she felt uneasy, so many undead in one room with their pale faces and greedy eye all looking at new meat.
She sighted Damien and her entire fears vanished, his gaze was fixed on her, letting her know that he wasn’t giving up, even though her entire faith was uncertain at least she preferred Damien than another person in here.
No one else had seem to notice the Prince’s presence, he was the last person to expect at bidding for a slave, he stayed quiet at the back corner, he had given strict instruction to the auctioneer not to dare introduce him, from where he was he could see Duke Sebastian boasting to others two he got the violet eyed slave first, the Prince didn’t know what he loved more, kicking Sebastian off his high horse or having the girl.
“Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests of the vampire elites,” The auctioneer said with a booming
voice that echoed as he spoke. “Welcome to the night house, where else can you get slaves with top notch qualities?”
The room erupted in laughter as if what he said was a joke. “Get comfortable as you decide what you will bid on.”
The auctioneer had dragged Lucy to the front, she was shaking as Damien’s presence could no longer calm her down, the blood suckers in the room were looking at her with hungry eyes, and if it was possible to run she would have done it since.
Damien on the other hand was immediately agitated when the guard gripped the girl.
“We start this bidding today with this strange human, hair as white as snow and a very distinct… Violet eyes.” The guest cooed and wooed as fear gripped her.
“One gold coin.” An Old man screamed from the back as he raise the paddle, Lucy’s face scrunched up in disgust, was she really going for a gold coin? She couldn’t imagine herself a slave to that man, if he
looked that as a vampire that means he was over a thousand human years old, he gave her a disgusted look that made her know that he was interested in more than her blood, she wanted to gag.
Prince Damien had a smile on his face, Lord Benedict was an old pervert who regularly buys young slaves and ends up killing them with his deranged preferences, it was so bad that any girl he buys does not live up to two weeks in his care, HIS girl will definitely not go with him.
“Five gold coins.” Sebastian said bidding lower than what he had initially wanted to buy her for, Damien
on the other hand was still very quiet and still waiting for the right time to let people know that he was here.
“Five gold and one silver coins.” Said the old Lord Benedict, Prince Damien noticed the gleam on his
face, he was probably thinking of what he had planned for the girl, one would think at this age he would retire with his great grandchildren and not chase after girls younger than them
“Five gold coins and five silver coins.” Duke Sebastian said calmly.
“Going?” The auctioneer said with a slur.
“Going?” He continued
“And g-.” He was about to seal the bid before he got interrupted by the Prince himself.
“One hundred gold coins.” Said the Prince in a whisper thrashing the Duke’s bid as the whole room quieted down in shock
The voice sounded familiar to everyone, but was it possible for the Prince to be here? He was even participating in the bid. The auctioneer squinted his eyes to get a better view of who was speaking and it was indeed the Prince.“And now esteemed guest, it is an honor to announce the presence of a very distinguished guest.” The auctioneer beamed with pride. “In attendance today is no other than the Crown Prince himself, Prince Damien Von Krastein.” The audience gasped in shock, it indeed was him, Damien liked the attention he got, and it also meant that everyone would lose interest in the bidding especially since their Prince wants her, everyone except Sebastian. “Any more bidders? A prize that interest the Crown Prince himself is sure worth more than a hundred gold coins.” The auctioneer was very good, Damien would give him that, because everyone would want bragging rights that they got what the Prince wanted, but what they didn’t know was that he wasn’t about to give up on this g
The prince held her hand, leading her into his carriage as the rider stared at them wide wondering what the Prince was doing with a human. Lucy didn't want to get into the weird looking thing with horses attached to it and a vampire in front, that was enough interaction with vampires only even though she could tolerate just the Prince, she wasn't sure if she was ready for more. “Are you scared?” The Prince gently asked and she nodded her head. He smiled understandingly, a smile that has broken walls or took her years to build even though she has just met him. “It's just a Carriage ride, hold my hands I'll walk you in.” He offered her his hands as she clung to it as if her life depended on it. It was funny how tiny her hands felt on his that he had to double check it. Her eyes were in awe marveling at the decor, gold designs everywhere, this was the highest amount of luxury she had ever seen. “You like it?” Asked the Prince as she nodded in excitement. Her eyes moved to the door
The cold, dark eerie cell scared Lucy, having ran from the vampires all her life, she never expected to be caught, the cell reeked of hopelessness as it seemed as if everyone had lost hope about ever gaining their freedom back.“Eat up!” The guard boomed at her making her shiver before passing a bowl to her, she looked at the slob presented before her and turned around, it looked ten times worse than dog food.“Number nine refuses to eat… again.” Number nine? She thought, but she still wasn’t speaking.The cell door opened and a guard dressed in a different uniform entered. “YOU WON’T EAT, YOU WON’T SPEAK, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!” She shivered trying to crawl backwards but the man was hot on her trail, as she looked at him with dead eyes conveying her complete lack of emotions, she knew she reached her end when she felt the cold bars touch her back.He bent down, lowering himself to meet her straight in the eyes; he moved his hands to grab her by the throat making her choke, his hands
The Prince was taken aback. “You.” He said only to his hearing, everyone was watching their interaction trying to see his next course of action. “Where did you say you found her?” He asked the guards again. “The east, your highness.” “Where exactly?” “She was with other humans on their way to the north maybe trying to locate the revolution and seek refuge.” How did a human girl find her way to his dreams, for months he had been plagued with the same dream, of a girl with long white hair and deep violet eyes, but before he could reach her, he would have already woken up with only memories of her eyes. Violet eyes weren’t common among humans and vampires alike, so it shocked him seeing her sharp violet eyes. And then again his compelling didn’t work on her, it worked on true full blooded vampires, so why not on a weak human girl “Have you confirmed if she is human yet?” he asked the guards who looked at him as if he had grown two heads. “You mean drank from her? They asked, the
The Prince knew what he tasted, having lived for centuries this wasn’t like anything he had ever had, and it certainly isn’t human. It took every ounce of self-control for him not to suck her dry, he found his powers heighten with each taste as he became intensely aware of his surrounding, her blood was sweeter than anything he had ever had, with a tinge of sweet taste and tanginess which was very much strange. He looked at the woman before him, a human that can survive without eating for a week, a human that was able to repeatedly resist his compelling powers and must importantly a human who’s blood was able to rejuvenate him, he was certain that she wasn’t human, but what is she?“But your highness there has to be mistake, she’s undeniably human.” The head guard countered, the Prince raised his eyebrow trying to see what he guard was heading towards. “Are you saying that your Prince made a mistake?” The air became tight as Lucy watched them argue about her; confused she listened
