"The first product for this event is the illegitimate daughter of Viscount…" Lala introduced the first slave to be auctioned.
It was a young girl who looked to be eleven or twelve. She looked terrified as the servants brought her onto the stage. She wanted to escape, but she knew that it was impossible with all the guards around.
She scanned the audience, searching for someone who could help her, but she saw no sympathy in their eyes. All she could see was the desire to own her and it made her even more afraid.
The young girl shivered as she listened to the people bidding for her.
"Two hundred gold coins going once!"
"Two hundred and five gold coins!"
"Two hundred and ten gold coins!"
Tears slid down the young girl's cheeks. She felt alone and helpless.
Aru, is this my fate? But… I don't want to become someone's plaything!
While she was praying for a miracle, the final bid for her was announced.
"Two hundred and twenty-five gold coins for this young girl! Sold!"
