◇NO POV◇
Kylie lost her consciousness and laid lifeless on the ground while the droplets of tears flowed from her eyes regretfully and agony of hurting her family and unable to meet them for one last time.
One's fate is not in their hands as it is already written, we are nothing but artists who play a role in the way the script was written.
Kylie was never at fault, but misunderstanding and hurting the people who loved and protected her all the time made her to deserve the suffering once again.
After hundreds of times getting burned and shaped, a diamond gets the deserved price and value, in the same way the suffering of Kylie also might've a reason behind.
Kylie was laying unconscious in a cage while chained, watching Kylie a woman sneered "do you think someone will buy this ugly bitch?"
The man replied, "She might be ugly, but she is untouched and virgin, sell her to any old lusty wolf, she'll be a perfect little slut with obedience."
No matter what the man said, the woman was not being able to get convinced, "I don't think this woman have so worth to be sold because she is the first ugly girl going to be auctioned, I don't want to lose my face because of this ugly slut, look at her, which man wants her?"
The man tried to convince one last time, "it's okay just try, if she gets sold it'll be profitable to both of us, if she doesn't get sold, make her your slave and let her work for you, you don't need to pay anything and can get a free worker."
After a long time of convincing, the woman agreed, "fine, I'll keep her in auction but in last because, I don't want people to lose their excitement on this auction just because of this ugly bitch."
The man hummed with a satisfied smirk, all girls were sold in the auction for high price, they received the profit more than they expected.
Lastly, Kylie was left, though the woman doesn't want to keep Kylie in auction still after a lot of hesitation, the woman decided to keep Kylie in auction, so she decided to do little makeover in order to bring the interest in people on her.
The moment she started cleaning the face of Kylie, she realized there is no such beauty than Kylie, until today she never witnessed someone with extraordinary beauty.
The beauty which is described for goddesses was inherited by Kylie, the smooth glass skin without blemishes just like a baby skin, and fairness which can compete with the milky moon.
Watching the beauty of Kylie, even after being a lady, she also got mesmerized and lost in watching her.
Dressing Kylie in a pretty dress and done a little makeover though her face doesn't need it, with a high hope of getting some huge amount, the cunning woman decided to keep Kylie in auction.
As soon as she introduced Kylie in the auction,
for a second everyone was calm, but after removing the veil covering Kylie's face, everyone became stunned in the beauty of Kylie.
The woman sighed in frustration as no one started their pricing amount yet because in selling Kylie she expected much profit, "This girl right here belongs to rabbit clan, one of the beauties, additionally she is pure untouched and a virgin, moreover her price begins with 5000 silver coins."
She covered Kylie's face again to create hype and curiousness in everyone, people started speaking among themselves, finally a wealthy old man said, "7000 silver coins" the woman felt a relief as someone stepped forward to increase the amount, hoping the price to increase more she waited a little longer.
Another man said, "30000 silver coins" the price started to keep on going until '10000 gold coins' the woman was stunned, but her greedy mind was expecting more.
While all these are happening, Kylie was still unconscious, at a time everyone stunned after hearing "80,000 gold coins" for a while whole room turned mute and turned towards the direction from where the voice came.
No one is able to continue saying pricing list as at a time they heard such a large amount, even Kylie is about to gain the consciousness, so the woman signalled the guards to take Kylie inside, "here the auction ends, she belongs to Mr. X."
As soon as Kylie was taken inside, she gained consciousness, and started panicking after noticing herself in a cage that too chained.
"Please, let me go, help, someone help me" she screamed hoping that someone might help her, soon a woman and at the same time the man who abducted her also came.
Kylie requested them, "please let me go, why you're caging me?" The woman glanced at Kylie and said, "I never thought this little bitch will be such a golden eggs laying duck, finally I'm going to become rich at a time with gigantic money."
"Don't forget about my share" the man reminded her, with a sigh woman rolled her eyes, and glanced at Kylie, "I thought I should raise a burden like you if you don't get sold, thank God that strange brought you with good price, from today you belong to him, so like a pet obey him."
"No, no…no, I'm not someone like that, please let me go." Kylie's pleadings didn't reach the ears of that cunning woman.
"She is someone who never got trained to be a slave, are you certain that she'll behave well with her master?" Like a silent a warning, one reminded the cunning woman.
"If she doesn't behave well, she'll get the deserved punishment, it's not our responsibility" the woman sneered.
Kylie's silent weeping didn't make any of them to show pity towards her, while pinching Kylie's chin, the woman said, "a girl from slave market will be always a slut in the eyes of the world, so you decide whether to obey your master to feed your stomach, or going back home to ruin your family's name, I don't think you're a stupid to return home, so accept the truth that you're a slave to white lion family."
Her words made Kylie to get stunned for a second, after hearing to those words, Kylie's heart no longer wants to return home, "ruined! My life is ruined, I ruined my life with my own hands, for hurting the people who loved me I deserve this, they've gone through so much because of me, I no longer want to bring a black mark to my family."
Kylie's silence made the woman to understand that Kylie is already fallen in the trap, by the bringing Kylie out from the cage, she unchained her "get ready fast in the dress I've prepared."
Like a soul left body, Kylie nodded her head, after watching herself in the mirror, Kylie passed a sarcastic smile mentally, and wiped off the makeup on her face and made her look like before.
The woman got panicked, "are you mad, why did you remove your makeup? Moreover, why, you're disguising yourself as ugly?"
"Beauty is my biggest enemy, as I always know beauty is not a boon but a curse,
neither I wanted to be a beauty nor I want to get recognized as a beauty because this beautiful face ruined my life."
Kylie's words clearly shown sarcasm, the woman fisted her hand and mumbled to herself "This bitch not only arrogant but also a cunning, let it be I received the money I wanted, and I no longer care about anything."
Kylie walked out with head down, Mr. X glanced at Kylie, "shall we leave?" Kylie simply followed him without uttering a word, she felt it's useless to argue about her innocence because as the lady earlier said, once a woman stepped in slave market forever gets a mark of slut, so it's not too easy to get away from it.
She got into the carriage along with Mr. X, after a long traveling, the carriage stopped in front of a huge ice palace, cold chills brought a shiver in Kylie's body.
Rubbing her eyes, she tried to open them halfway, "this is the imperial palace, from today you'll be here" Kylie just nodded her head.
"Main palace needs a maid, and you're brought here for that" this time after hearing to these, Kylie looked towards Mr. X hoping that it's true.
Mr. X confirmed, "yes dear, you're brought here as a maid, doing the work given by me is all you've to do, understand?"
The man Mr.X who brought Kylie with highest bid is none other than, Mr. Ray the butler of white Lion King's palace, it's quite strange for him to attend such an auction event, not only he attended, but also he took initiative to buy a slave from slave market.
With a teary eyes Kylie nodded her head as yes, Mr. Ray smiled gently "let's go" Kylie followed Mr. Ray.
After getting into the gigantic palace, they stopped in front of a massive door "This is the room of respected Lord Benjamin, the white Lion King, he should permit you to stay in this palace as a maid."
Kylie hummed, Mr. Ray took her inside the room and greeted, "hail my Lord!"
Watching the powerful aura of the man in front of her, Kylie felt speechless but gaining her consciousness she greeted him "greetings, my Lord!"
"Who is she?" His words are with dominance, "She belongs to rabbit clan, and she is the new maid appointed by me, my Lord, if you permit her to stay here, she'll be the new maid in the palace after getting trained by the head maid."
After hearing the words of Mr. Ray, Lord Benjamin took a minute to glance at Kylie, "what's your name?"
"Kylie, my Lord" watching her obedience with shiver in voice and soft nature, Lord Benjamin is impressed "fine, stay in the palace and do your work properly without any mistake."
Kylie nodded her head, while keeping her head down still, Mr. Ray took Kylie out and shown a room "this will be your room, I'll decide the work of yours tomorrow after discussing with the head maid, so take rest for today."
Kylie hummed and closed the door just after Mr. Ray left, she sat on the floor and hugged her legs while sobbing, "I miss you, mom…dad and brother."
Meanwhile, in Lutheran family house,
Mr. Jeremy and Mrs. Noris were sitting on the couch while crying and praying for their daughter to return safe.
Watching Robin's coming back home, "where is Kylie? Did she come with you?" A clear last hope is so visible in Mrs. Noris's eyes.
"No mom, I've searched everywhere, including the forest too, princess is nowhere." Robin's reply made Mrs. Noris to collapse on the floor.
"I'm a bad mother, I hurted my baby terribly, I'm such a fool, I didn't notice her pain anytime, she got always bullied, but I never felt that, how can I be such a bad person?" Watching Mrs. Noris blame herself, both Robin and Mr. Jeremy felt bad.
"Being a brother of hers, even I failed to protect her mom, though I felt she is hurt I never tried to know more thinking that she might get upset." Robin felt unknown pain after knowing that his sister got bullied always.
"My poor baby must've suffered a lot, but never said anything, even after having a family still she suffered everything alone" Mr. Jeremy cursed himself for failing in protecting his daughter.
No matter how much they cry or curse themselves, they don't know it's too late as Kylie no longer she is little princess of Lutheran family but a bethrowed slave to white lion family.
