[10] BETRAYAL.
Because all of Kayra's hostility was pointed at the man, Hellrina didn't get kneeled in front of the intimidating power.
But the man wasn't spared. His legs gave in and he found himself in a kneeling position. Being an arrogant prince of The Guzzlion Planet, Prince Bok Guzzen could never accept this reality even in a thousand years!
His yellowish eyes turned dark yellow and also began to shine with murderous intent. But he realized that he wasn't an opponent against the other person who seemed to have the purest form of spiritual power. Also, he was shocked because only the Lord could affect others like this.
'Hell, if you take care of this woman and help me get a hold of her, I promise to make you set free from the slave contract!' Prince Bok Guzzen said via the mental connection which could only exist between master-slave.
A while ago, Hellrina thought of running away because she noticed the atmosphere changing in a bad direction. But hearing him, she paused in her spot.
'Freedom'... it was the most bitter-sweet word to a slave who had been enslaved since the time she was born. Her heart began to waver.
'Prince, are you for real?!' Hellrina couldn't believe what she had heard.
But the next moment, her body began to heat up. It was the soul mark of the master-slave contract. Prince Bok had just sworn on that mark. Any contradiction and the contract would get destroyed eventually.
This, her eyes on Kayra who was getting ready to fight the man head-on for her sake changed in bright amber color.
Both the system and the mecha watched curiously as the rabbit girl inched towards Kayra's back with small steps. At first, Kayra didn't feel any bad intentions coming from behind and so, she only focused on the front.
But how could someone who only got a new body and a day ahead hadn't passed either be proficient in such a tricky situation?
While the two people were on the verge of moving to fight head-on, Hellrina raised her hand and poked Kayra's neck gently. A tiny red dot appeared on the slender neck and a drop of blood came out from it.
A pleasurable current ran through Kayra's body and the hostility surging in her heart died down. Even the life essence which was threatening to break out of the artery quieted down.
'What the?!' Kayra exclaimed in her mind as she glanced back at Hellrina in disbelief.
The next moment, Kayra closed her eyes and became unconscious. Her eyes and silver hair became normal in no time. Hellrina hurriedly caught her and hugged her tightly.
'Sorry…' The word she wanted to tell Kayra the most but it got drowned in her throat.
She loathed herself to betray the one who had only wanted to save her but for freedom, Hellrina was willing to do everything.
The man also became normal and with excited eyes, he walked towards the two women. Looking at the man who was showing his yellow teeth with a perverted expression, Hellrina began to regret her action.
"Prince… what will you do with her?" She asked timidly and tightened her grip on Kayra's waist.
"Humph! A slave shouldn't butt in her master's matter! Now give her to me!" Prince Bok said with impatience and snatched Kayra from Hellrina's arms.
"Such a beauty~ She can only be mine!" Prince Bok whispered with a mad expression as he leaned towards Kayra's face. It was evident as to what he desired.
...
[All the honorable guests, please heed to the Auction Palace. The auction will start in five minutes!...]
The moment Prince Bok intended to kiss Kayra's lips, the deep and commanding voice of a man rang out in the vicinity. It felt as if the voice was coming from every nook and cranny of the surrounding area.
Hellrina panicked and whispered, "Prince, why don't we leave first? If they close the entrance of the palace, we will miss the real thing!"
The significance of this auction was much more than indulging in pleasure and Hellrina knew this in her heart.
The king of the Guzzlion Planet, Prince Bok's father, Qualis Guzzen's birthday was nearby, and to please the old man, he had come here to get something good.
…
As expected, after hearing her, Prince Bok stopped his act and pushed Kayra to her with annoyance. Then, he snapped his fingers and a black cloak materialized in the air which came from his pocket dimension.
"Hide her in it. Be gentle. She shall be the mistress of this prince. You better serve her carefully!"
The moment he saw Kayra, he had this idea. After getting her in his control, he thought of executing it in real life and giving her the taste of overstepping her boundary by beating her day and night!
He threw the cloak to Hellrina arrogantly and began to walk ahead. While Hellrina was trying to put the cloak on Kayra, Prince Bok Guzzen said a number aloud and a portal opened for them.
"Hurry up!" After giving the command to Hellrina, Prince Bok began to walk into the portal. Halfway through, he stopped and turned around. He squinted at the other person and smirked.
Hellrina didn't move from her place and was having second thoughts.
'Should I follow him or not?!'
Looking at the frown on Kayra's face while she was unconscious, she felt reluctant to obey her master. How could Prince Bok be unaware of her sneaky thoughts?
He raised his arm and waved at Hellrina with a sneer. The woman's face changed into pale color as she began to choke.
"Owp!... Cough! Haa..."
She moved her face sideways to avoid Kayra's face and coughed violently. Fresh blood oozed out from her lips and ran by the corner of her mouth.
"If you don't follow me right now, I will turn your intestines into meat paste!" Prince Bok smirked evilly as he raised his fingers, threatening her.
Hellrina tried to force down the metallic taste in her mouth. She grabbed Kayra's waist and then, her feet transformed. She used her rabbit legs to jump and soon reached Prince Bok's side.
