Chapter 4: Priceless
My broad eyes were fixed on the spacious view before
that looked like a cathedral, so grand than any place I have ever been to, with an endless row of seats like a circle, spreading widely. The entire place had nothing but golden aesthetics. Seats were all filled but I couldn’t see their faces because of the stage lights around , making
like I was the star of the show, am I?
"A Fairy!"
I turned to the blue-eyed man near sothing that looked like an altar with a mic as he spoke through it. A fairy? Why did he call
that?
"Are you joking with us Grandmaster?!" A voice called from the crowd.
"A Fairy?"
"Is he certain?"
"I have never seen one before"
"Is she really?"
"Surely this must be so joke"
"She can’t possibly be one"
My heartbeat was like a drum amongst their echo of words and talks that filled the entire hall like bees. I stood still, stupefied, and terrified.
"Of course, my esteed buyers, I shall show you proof," he said amused.
I pondered what he ant by that until I felt a tight grip on my hand pivoting , it was the sa man that hauled
to the stage, he handled
roughly once again and I could do nothing, what made it worse was he ripped the top of my gown and I yelped.
I heard a loud round of gasps behind .
"You see that? That is the proof you need, for she bears the mark!"
"He’s right!"
"She is a fairy!"
"Such a rare gem!"
"Priceless!"
"How did he get one?!"
"Glorious"
"Look at that!"
"She’s actually one!"
As the echo went on the man swirled
to face the crowd back, I was like a cube of frozen ice. I held on tightly to the torn bit of clothing that kept
decent enough.
"10 million!" soone called.
"No 20 million!"
"50 million!"
"70 million!"
"80!"
What’s happening? My eyes trembling... are they calling such a price for ? Was I even worth that much?
"100 million!"
"200 million!"
"We have the highest bidder!" The blue-eyed man who I assud was the Grandmaster announced. "You are all pumped for this I see but you can do better, what are the chances of you getting your hands on such a gem again"
"300 million!"
"The highest of them all!"
The crowd applauded but I could hear the disdain in the background.
My quivering eyes leveled to my feet, this must be so kind of dream... I’m being auctioned out like a thing like I wasn’t even a human being. I have never been of value all my life but right here I was and they were calling amounts that were rendered impossible to my ears.
I almost chuckle at this... because this looks like so joke, who wants an ominous child like ? What value am I? I should be glad because for the first ti I felt I amounted to sothing, I felt like I was actually of worth... So why? Why does it feel like I’m about to crumble?
I could feel the tears threatening to fall, I can’t rember the last ti I cried because I didn’t care about my fate or what happened to ... so why? Why does it hurt right now? Why?
The tears were already leaking from my eyes. I was of worth and I knew what exactly because what else would it be? I’m sold as a sex slave! What other value would I be of? Nothing good has ever happened in my life before. I only amount to this...
My caretaker was right... I’m an ominous girl and nothing... NOTHING will ever be good for . I closed my eyes as the tears dripped more, I could already hear the Grandmaster saying I had been sold to whoever said 200 million. I thought I was in hell before but it seems like I was only getting a taste of it... I would do anything to go back to that cell.
At the sound of an approaching footstep I opened my eyes and my blurry gaze fell on black shoes. I sniffed knowing very well it was the so-called man who purchased , or so I thought.
"500 million!" a strong baritone voice that shook even my bones echoed in the hall and in stupefaction and curiosity I raised my head.
