To let you have a look ,my fellow people..."
Celine heard the sudden tears of a young girl's clothes which caused the girl to cry silently . As the guest maliciously watching the young girl who was forced to remove its upper clothe, those malicious guest exult in excitement.The young girl who's upper body bare can only keep her mouth shut and holding up it's tear.
Seeing the obnoxious scene from the stage made everyone excite as they bid for a high price,some of the slaves were sold for a thousand gold above ,but Lucian who's impatiently waiting to see her , began to worry for Celine . Thinking that they'll demoralizing young womans and sadistically enjoying the scenery,his apprehension towards her grew as he think that it would traumatized her and also change her life .
As he anxiously wait , Celine who's at the right side of the corner at back stage was stunned, as she couldn't believe what she was seeing right now , Treating the slaves like toys and worse than animals. Making them lose their self esteem.
Seeing the obnoxious scene made her eyes widened from shocked, as her brow's line up towards each other .
" Do slaves get to experience this when they get sold by them?" she wondered.
"Gracy was right ! Theirs no certain that I could escape this living hell . A room full of sadist, pedophiles and racist." she thought while wincing in disgust, she could only prayed to let her and the rest live a normal life.
As the event goes on ,hoots and whistles were heard in front of the stage were she stood in with the scared group of slaves, Celine didn't have the courage to go through what just happened in front of her.But, it didn't stop her thoughts from wanting to bash the man's head as he continued to speak.
"Isn't she Gorgeous?now, Let's see how many of you value her worth.The bidding starts from 200gold coins!"the man shouted.
"200 gold coins?" She thought.
She wasn't sure if she was baffled by the the number of gold coins the man spoke or it's just the least of her value as a human.
Her mind is in haze as she felt dejected on her fate.
The next girl who's standing on the stage shuddered in the cold which she could see quite clearly from behind. Celine felt sorry for her and wished that she could do something ,but helping the young woman right now, is impossible to a young girl like her.
Even though it wasn't her fault that the young woman was being shamed in public. Celine didn't want to cause any trouble to anyone here on her behalf.notbto forget,she can't handle those guardsmen ,also this is an opportunity for her to get out of this hell .
Meanwhile,Lucian and the knights got irritated and furious by the obnoxious scene in the stage.
Celine had thought of escaping once she would reach the market or after someone would buy her.but the chance of escaping her owner is inferior to her state.
As the event goes on, the last batch were she's in, has finally come to the center stage .The host who's filled with pleasure, announced the last batch of slaves .
"Now, I'll present you the main event of today's auction !"
As the slave walked through the center, the guardsman suddenly grabbed her wrist and told her that she'll will be the last slave to present as an special item.
Hearing of the man said, made her more anxious as if they had planned all on selling her as rare item.
Finally ,when it was her turn, Celine was dragged and pushed up to walk through the center stage where when she stepped.Her heart sank like someone had tied her and pushed her onto the deep blue sea. Seeing the number of people who crowded around the stage was intimidating.There were greedy, sadist.The lecherous men and women who stood waiting to the host announce her price.
" And this young girl you seeing right now is the rarest of the slave we can present you today!" The man stated.
Lucian who's been impatiently waiting for her ,sighed in relief as he stood up and walked closer to stage.
"Now ,this young girl is 12 years old !" The man quickly hold her chin up as he lied to her age and threatened her to cry...
Celine quickly followed the man's order and cried out ,just to avoid of being treated like the previous slave ,who was forces to remove her upper clothe.
"Now , isn't she look beautiful like an angel!" He stated.
"This beautiful young girl you see is Celine, she has the most unique traits of all slaves we got ,her white silver hair ,an eyes that shines like a precious amethyst crystals ,her pale white skin ,and her angelic face. This precious item will surely pleased your lust and desires..."the man commented In a pedophilic way."
Hearing his statement made Lucian rampant like a beast ,as his red blood eyes shines in rage,but Conan restrained him and told him to wait till the highest bid was placed .
" Your highness, you must wait ! If you don't your uncle won't be pleased by this."he murmured
If only he had the power like a king, he would've had cut off it's tongue and slitting it's neck using his sword to the host who's speaking malicious words at Celine.
Restraining a beast like him wasn't easy for Conan ,as he can feel his rage surrounding him like a mist of miasma ... As the host announced the starting bid of price .
"Now let's start with the price of 200,000 gold coins ."
"Ohh ,200,000 gold coins, to our first buyer !"

"800,000 gold coins!"The bidding grew higher and higher ,as they bid like throwing a big cash for just a slave.
Celine wasn't in her current predicament, her brow's would have reach her forehead, but as the amount raise so did her heart beat.
It had to come to be evident than the people who were outside and the people who came from the higher society who were willing to throw money to buy themselves a slave or more.
She could feel the beads of her sweat forming on the back of her neck to run down on the back of her skin. It wasn't the time to think ,but she wondered if she will be sold into this high value of gold coins that are enough to buy a land .As she thought of "Is this how they would be feeling with the customer's hovering over them ready to pounce."
As those malicious pedophiles starting to raised there bids , Celine couldn't believe that her value was higher than the rest of the slaves.
"Is anyone interested in buying this precious girl ?"asked the auctioner ."800, 000 gold coins, going once, going twice and..."

As he dragged her at the back of the stage ,Celine who's anxiously trembling in fear, faced the anonymous young man.
The young man has an eyes like an emerald crystals , I see walked towards to the treasurer and Celine who's being handcuffed both hands.
The young man was accompanied by 4 knights whose wearing a mask in disguise.
The treasurer greeted them with a pleasant welcome, as he pulled the chain towards them, the handcuffs on her hand dragged her towards her new owner .

As they leave the establishment silently, Celine who's being held by one of the men's
Guard cried as she covered her tears in her wrist and biting her lower lip to stop herself from crying like a child.
Hearing her sobbing ,the young guard can no longer bear it's self as he revealed his identity and kissed her forehead sweetly.
Celine who's holding up it's self from crying,was shocked as she slowly removed the mask on the young guards face. The young guard who's holding her was Lucian, her first friend. The first friend who save her in that hellish place .
"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry! " He stated,as his tears drip to her wrist, seeing him cry made her assure that she's finally saved.
" You can cry freely, Celine.There's nothing wrong about it ,so please let it out all your sorrows and the loneliness nights you felt ."
His words were like rain falling down on a dry, crack soil,that made her feel assured.
As she cried relentlessly till she fall asleep in his arms.
" Conan!"
"Yes , your highness."
" Do you know any nearest inn in this capital?" He asked while looking in her face warmly.
" Yes ,I do your highness."he replied.

" Well since ,all of you are now here, I want you to kill that host earlier...wait just kidnapped him and tied him up ...I want to kill him my self." His words are cold and solemn, as his eyes shows no mercy. The knights quickly looked for the host in the old theater.
The host of the slave establishment, Marlin .Felt like there's someone watching from behind, as he run over to an dead end as he step back, jittering from fear.
" Show your selves, don't be a coward!"he stated.
The knight's quickly knocked him up as they tied him to an abandoned house near the theater.

" Wake him up!" He stated.
The knights quickly wake the man up ,as he looked at Lucian's mask curiously asking him in a rude way.
But Lucian didn't answer it's question as he let a dry chuckle and smirked devilishly.
"Now .. let's punished this shit!" He commented,as he lift up it chin using his index finger and smirked.
