Chapter 189: Auction
"Ladies and gentleman. I'm sure you have been waiting for this day," a middle-aged demon started talking on the stage. "This auction is very special. But before we go into that, let's start with the first few items."
"Tsk. Why do we need to wait for the thing we want in every auction." A fat vampire gritted his teeth. He was Duke Heista, one of the biggest competitors in this auction.
"O' Lord. Please grant us your blessing so that we can purify the demon princess," said an old man with a white robe. He was clasping his hands as though praying to his God.
"Hmph. Just because we're not at war, don't think you're qualified to go against me, you holy bastard." Duke Heista snorted.
"In this auction, money is the way. If you don't have money, no matter how big you bark, there's no way to get the goods." A middle-aged man smiled, entering the conversation. He was the head of the biggest merchant firm in the Gluttony Kingdom, Barn Aolaya.
"Shut up. Do you think I don't know that you're going to make the princess a concubine for your son?"
"I'm simply putting the right talent in the right place." Barn shook his head with a calm expression.
"" Listening to their conversation made Yale sick. Even if he wanted to take Renee away, he never thought about putting her as a concubine. In fact, there would only be one wife he would have in this life, it was her.
And there was no way he would treat Renee as bad as Duke Heista. Instead, he would try his best to make her the happiest woman in this world. Purifying her? There was no better purification method other than bonk. Renee wouldn't become horny anymore when she sucked his blood. After all, that was the reason why Yale could almost defeat Renee in the sacred duel. Of course, it should be fine if they were in their home.
Yale clenched his hands while closing his eyes, trying hard to calm his anger.
The brothel manager accompanied Yale in this occasion since she controlled the entire fund. She looked at Yale's action and shook her head helplessly.
Although she had told Yale to cover his face, it was hard to hide his voice and age. Yale only had a long robe and a mask, so they were bound to know his true identity sooner or later.
She could only sigh to this cruel fate, unaware that Lilith had actually allowed such a thing to happen.
As expected, the wait was killing them. Even Yale couldn't help but rise from his seat while staring in the distance.
After what felt like days, Yale finally found her.
With a shackle both on her hands and feet, she walked onto the stage without an expression as if the emotion had died in her heart. Even then, that submissive look of her created another charm to her, telling them to dominate her.
Her wavy blonde hair glimmered with the light as though it was shining, complimenting her purple eyes.
She was still ten years old, so her petite body gave a feeling of wanting to protect her. Of course, as a former royalty, her clothes were a mini skirt and a plain white shirt. They needed to give her a bit of revealing clothes.
"I'm sure you have been waiting for this. Her current name is just Renee! She has been stripped of her name and title. Hence, if you get her, she'll forever be yours.
"I'm sure you're already aware of her talent. At 5 years old, she started controlling her blood. At 7 years old, she managed to form a living blood. At 9 years old, she had acquired Blood Sacrifice. Her talent in controlling blood was said to be one of the top among all vampires in this world.
"At the same time, she had finished most of her studies. She can help you with chores, professional works, or sexual needs.
"Without further ado, the auction shall begin! Her price starts from 10,000 gold coins and every bid can't be lower than 1,000 gold coins. Start!"
Without hesitation, the people started bidding for Renee.
"11,000 gold coins!"
"12,000!"
"13,000."
The bid continued to increase since she was the reason they came here. Before long, the price had increased by multiple times.
"50,000 gold coins!" A middle-aged man shouted.
"Marquis Veila had bid for 50,000 gold coins. Does anyone want to continue?"
The people gritted their teeth since 50,000 gold coins was too much for them. Some of them wouldn't even be able to get all these gold coins for their entire life, let alone saving them.
That was why this was the time for the big shots to appear.
Duke Heista was the first to make his move. "51,000 coins."
The marquis saw Heista's face and gritted his teeth. His position was higher than him, so fighting him wouldn't be wise.
However, there were two people who weren't afraid of him.
"Just one thousand? You're a great man, Duke Heista." The archbishop came forward and raised the bid. "55,000 coins. This is the way."
"Your bid is only 4,000. I need to do better." Barn smirked and raised the bid again. "60,000 coins. See? 5,000 coins. Equal to your and Duke Heista's bids combined."
"You two bastards!" Duke Heista gritted his teeth and declared. "70,000 coins! I will save my niece."
He didn't want to lose, so he increased it by 10,000 coins. Though, this just allowed them to mock him even more.
"Hahaha In that case, I won't hesitate. 100,000 coins." Barn laughed out loud. "I will be the winner."
"For the wealthiest man to only bring out 100,000 coins, such a disgrace." The archbishop shook his head in disappointment. "My Holy Kingdom wants her for 120,000 coins. We'll make the vampire princess turn over the new leaf."
Their battle shocked the entire hall, but Duke Heista still managed to turn around the situation by taking out a scroll. "This is the deed for my Erexa. It can give you one thousand gold coins every month and has been assessed by the auction house. The price is 70,000 gold coins. I'll use this and raise my bid. 140,000 coins."
"!!!" Both Barn and the archbishop were stunned.
'That's one of the most profitable businesses he has. The duke is going this far?' Barn widened his eyes.
'This duke's horniness is no joke. That small princess will be destroyed by his fat body.' The archbishop frowned.
Hearing this conversation and bid war put a smile on Yale's face. After all, everything played according to the succubus' information.
"Is that all? Duke Heista?" The masked man suddenly stood up as if he was interested in participating.
"What did you say?!" Duke Heista raised his eyebrows while glaring at him. They were in the private rooms, so it was easy to see the masked man's figure. In that instant, he recognized them as a child.
"I'm asking if you can fork more money." The masked man shook his head in disappointment.
"Boy! Have your parents taught you about manners?"
"Manners, huh. My parents never taught me that. It's self learning." The masked man smiled and said, "Though, I also learned that I need to beat others hard enough to make them know their place."
"You Bastard. Are you challenging me, a duke? I can destroy your family with a single order."
"Really?" The masked man laughed uncontrollably.
On the contrary, Renee's body trembled for a bit as if she heard a familiar voice. Emotion gradually returned to her face as she raised her head, looking at this boy.
'Is that you?' Renee thought. There was a longing in her face because he was the reason she became like this. She didn't regret it. Even if she repeated that day, she would still admit defeat.
After getting bullied for so long, Yale deserved his happiness. She couldn't take away his happiness from him she didn't have the heart to do it.
Little did she know, that became the exact reason why her figure never disappeared in Yale's mind.
And his next words confirmed it.
Yale smiled and said, "Rescuing your niece? Such a bullshit from a lecherous man."
"You brat. Watch your words! In the end, you are just someone who wants to buy her with money. There's no bond between you and her."
"Bond, huh The memory between us is filled with tragedies. However, if you're talking about bond, then mine is stronger. After all, I am here to take back my wife." Yale smirked and raised his finger. "500,000 gold coins!"
"Five" Duke Heista dropped his jaw to the ground.
"Hundred" Even the archbishop couldn't contain his shock, hearing that amount of bid.
"Thousand" And that shock hit the wealthiest man, Barn Aolaya, greatly.
Renee opened her mouth as if wanting to say something. But the surprise coming from the bid stopped her brain for a moment. There was no one who could gather this amount of gold coins. After all, it could run a dukedom for months.
Even Duke Heista needed to pawn his own asset to make that bid.
"Impossible. You don't have that money! I implore the auction house to ban him from this place!" Duke Heista was angered and shouted.
But a sweet, seductive voice replied to his claim. "That's funny from a duke. If we want to help him, this amount of money is easy to get."
Finally, the brothel manager came forward, revealing her appearance.
"!!!" All of them were shocked beyond belief.
"Because she IS mine no amount of money is enough for her. But I'm just a pathetic man who can only rely on others. I have even greatly troubled my teacher for this." Yale declared in front of all these people as he took off his mask, revealing his face and identity. With a serene smile on his face, he stated, "That's why I will take her home no matter what.. After all, she can only be mine."
