Mated To The Dead Prince
Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Chapter 11

"Oh my!" Gwen put a hand over her mouth, looking at Rose through the mirror; her eyes widened in horror and disbelief.

"No, dear, you don’t say you don’t need a master; everyone needs a master," Madam Yu said softly as she turned Rose’s chair to the side so she was now facing her as she started using a cotton pad to gently wipe Rose’s face.

"Um, I’ll help with the others," Gwen said and quickly left Rose’s side, going ahead to another table to do a fae’s hair.

"Hmm, she thinks she’s better than us because she’s human," A creature that looked like Madam Yu commented snidely as she purposely walked past Rose.

"Don’t mind her, Demons are always jealous," Madam Yu said as she applied a layer of makeup on Rose’s face.

Rose could only nod, but deep down she was starting to feel different. She could feel the curious and hateful eyes of the creatures on her body. She no longer knew what to expect in the dark realm; she was starting to lose hope of ever returning home.

Rose sighed; she could only hope that whoever was going to purchase her wasn’t a vampire; she was done with those dark creatures.

"Ah! What a beauty!" Madam Yu clasped her hands in front of her and exclaimed proudly as she stared at Rose’s face.

Rose slowly turned to the mirror, and truly, she looked very beautiful. She didn’t know if it was because of the strange products that were used on her face or just purely Madam Yu’s makeup skill, but all she knew was that her skin was glowing; it looked radiant and supple like she had just stepped out of the shower.

"Oh, dear goddess! It’s time!" Gwen announced to the creatures.

"Oh, get up, we have to fix your clothes," Madam Yu dragged Rose up from the chair, unbuttoning her pants.

"No, I’ll go this way," Rose held Madam Yu’s hand, pausing her actions.

"Nonsense, look!" Madam Yu said, pointing at the creatures who had all removed their robes and casually stood naked, waiting for Gwen to give them something to wear.

"Now, you don’t want to look different do you?" Madam Yu asked.

Rose scoffed, "I’m already different."

Madam Yu stared at Rose for a second before speaking, "You’re the first slave the dark master has ever sold. He’s never sold any of his slaves because he has the finest of them all; trust me, when people learn you’re from the Blood Castle, they’ll fight over you; you’re going to become the start of the night," Madam Yu explained calmly.

"I don’t want any of it," Rose murmured.

"Well, you see, women don’t have much of a choice in our world, anyways, that’s by the way. Now, raise your hands!" Madam Yu ordered sternly.

Rose had no other choice than to obey as she saw the way Madam Yu’s scary eyes looked sternly at her.

Outside the white house, two black cars slowly pulled in through the gate, stopping in front of the house.

"Brother, we’re here," Damon said as he killed the engine.

Damien quickly climbed down from the front seat and went to open the back door.

Cassius majestically stepped down from the opened door and stood calmly beside the car.

He patiently waited for his brothers to come out of the car before they walked into the building.

Felonious came down from the second car and quietly followed them behind, maintaining a reasonable distance behind them.

Inside the hall, chattering could be heard all around the bright hall as different high-classed creatures walked around the room, settling down on their designated table and waiting for auctioning to start.

The curtains were still drawn close on the dark stage where the girls would be displayed and bidden on.

Everyone present was eager to see the human slave from the Blood Castle; they all wondered why the dark master was selling off his slave for the first time, and, immediately after his awakening, too.

Two vampires stood beside the exit, gossiping about the humans they saw at the blood castle.

"Heard she’s not that pretty," The first vampire looked to be in his middle age.

"Hahaha, no wonder he’s selling her off; everyone knows that it’s only a few beautiful ones that get to sleep with him," The second vampire replied, chuckling.

"But you know, everyone is here to bid, me too; I would love to have a taste from Blood Castle’s slave," The first vampire said evilly.

"That’s if I don’t bid higher than you do, Griffin," The second Vampire replied.

The Vampires chuckled as they placed a bet on who was going to be the one to take Rose home.

Cassius stood behind the door, hearing the discussions going on inside the room.

He knew rumors were meant to be spread but he didn’t understand why hearing it directly kind of stirred up a certain kind of feeling within him. He felt enraged, but for reasons he couldn’t tell.

He stepped into the hall and everywhere went completely quiet. Everyone was surprised to see the dark master himself at an auction.

Never.

It had never happened before, he normally had his younger siblings come in his place to purchase his slaves.

But he was the master of every trade; being here in person was going to create a very high demand for his human slave and, in turn, make people bid higher than they would’ve on his slave.

Overall, everyone was going to be extra careful with his overbearing aura looming around the hall.

"M-master,"

"My lord,"

The vampires beside the door stammered in fright as they saw Cassius’s dark and intimidating figure appear beside them.

"Felonieous," Cassius called in a spine-tingling tone, causing the two gossiping vampires to shrink into the wall.

"Master," Felonious instantly appeared beside Cassius.

At that moment, everyone knew it was the end of Griffin and his friend, for no one was allowed to gossip about the dark master or anyone from the blood castle, not even his slaves, but these two foolish vampires had so freely done, now, they were about to face the consequences.

"Lock them in the dungeon, till a suitable punishment is found for them," Cassius ordered quietly.

"Yes, Master," Felonious replied.

The vampires dared not try to plead with Cassius, for they knew that would mean instant death; they accepted their sentence in silent regret.

Cassius continued walking into the room, heading over to the darkest corner to sit and observe.

Rose stood in front of the mirror, horror in her eyes as she stared at herself.

"Perfect, perfect, tonight will be my most successful night ever!" Madam Yu beamed as she combed and styled Rose’s black long hair, her tail wagging excitedly behind her.

"Indeed, she’s a stunner," Gwen replied, staring interestingly at Rose.

Rose couldn’t believe this was happening; she couldn’t believe she was going to stand naked in front of those evil and horny creatures. If there was anything she learned from her fantasy stories, it was that those fantasy creatures were always horny with limitless sex drives.

She stared at her naked body in the mirror; a flimsy black lacy lingerie with garters was the only thing covering half of her breast and lower region.

Earlier, she had seen how other girls struggled to get the most revealing lingerie set, and unfortunately, Madam Yu thought she was one of the girls and decided to get her the most seductive one, so, there she was, looking like a seductress with a black choker around her neck.

This wasn’t her.

"Everyone, on a straight line; we’re heading backstage immediately," Madam Yu announced, clapping her hands together as she ushered them to form a straight line.

Rose made sure to join at the ending part of the line as they marched through another door at the corner of the room which she had missed because it was hidden behind a wardrobe.

They followed the door which led them into a short passage with a stair in front.

"Hey," Rose felt a hand tap her behind the shoulder as they climbed backstage.

She turned her head to find a beautiful girl with red hair smiling up at her; she had very fair skin with brown eyes.

"Hey," Rose replied.

"I’m Aisling, I’m a fae," Aisling introduced.

Rose already knew she was a faerie without being told, her small size gave her away.

"I’m Rose, a human," Rose chuckled at her introduction.

"You’re really beautiful," Aisling commented in her soft voice.

Rose smiled genuinely for the first time in two days. She felt the sincerity of the fae, and if a fae compliments you, it’s hardly a lie because they were honest creatures.

"Thank you, Aisling, you’re pretty too," Rose said as she kept climbing the stairs.

Aisling giggled, her cheeks blushing from Rose’s compliment.

Rose thought she was cute; if they had met under normal circumstances, they might have become good friends.

They finally reached backstage. It was a large room with a bathroom section at a corner, and different types of chandeliers were hanging above the roof.

"Alright, girls! Remember, only speak if asked, and don’t forget to give them some sexy poses; you wouldn’t want to be returned to the academy; it reduces your value," Mada Yu said as she walked along the line of girls, giving them one last look of inspection.

"Um, Rose, I don’t think you’re different, in fact, I think you’re awesome," Aisling said quietly behind Rose.

Rose smiled down at the fae, "Thank you, Aisling. That was really helpful," Rose touched her arm.

"May the best bidder win!" A loud voice boomed from the stage.

"Oh my, it’s started," Aisling whispered, she looked scared, like she dreaded being here.

"You okay?" Rose asked.

"No, I’m not; I don’t want to be owned, I just wish I was free, with no master," Aisling sniffed.

Rose frowned a bit; she thought everyone in the dark realm was okay with all these master-slave thingy, or was she wrong?

"Um, don’t cry, Aisling. You might be lucky and get a nice master," Rose tried to console the little fae in the best words she could think of.

"Rarely. It’s hard to get a good master; all the males are the same, evil, selfish, sadistic, and sex maniacs. You’ll never find-"

"Ah, I see you’re being chatty, little Aisling," Gwen suddenly said beside them.

"Uh, no, Madam Gwen, I was just getting to know Rose, right, Rose?" Aisling asked, looking hopefully at Rose.

"Yes, I was just asking her name," Rose replied with a nod.

"Hmm, quit chatting and get ready, it’s almost your turn," Gwen said to them and walked away.

Rose was alarmed as she heard that it was almost her turn, she turned her head to the front, and surely, the line had reduced drastically.

"No, this is not happening!" Rose heard Aisling’s voice in her head and instantly turned to her.

But she was surprised to find Aisling biting her fingers and staring hopelessly at her.

"Did you say something to me?" Rose asked with a slight frown. She was very sure Aisling hadn’t opened her mouth since Gwen left.

"No, you heard my thoughts?" Aisling asked, her eyes widening.

Rose’s frown deepened; what the hell did she mean by hearing her thought?
