Mated To The Dead Prince
Chapter 12

Chapter 12: Chapter 12

Before Rose could ask Aisling what she meant by what she said, Gwen came along and told them to move forward.

It was her turn to go out to the stage.

Rose stood behind the curtains and listened with anger as the MC announced her appearance.

"It’s time for tonight’s highlight! For the first time in history, a slave is being auctioned from the Blood Castle, and, that’s not all... Everyone, are ready?!" The Mc spoke loudly into the microphone, garnering a cheer from the crowd.

"Remember, sweetie, only talk when you’re asked, and don’t forget to pose," Madam Yu quickly ran over and whispered to Rose.

The next moment, the curtains started to open in front of Rose, causing her to squint her eyes from the bright light that escaped through the opening curtains.

"I present to you all, a human slave, straight from the Blood Castle! May the highest bidder win!" The MC roared, and the crowd didn’t disappoint.

Howls, whistling, and cheering filled the room as the curtain opened to reveal Rose in her sexy lingerie, her fair and radiant skin glowing under the bright light.

Rose put a hand over her eyes as the stage opened, she was almost going blind from the stage light on her face.

She felt like a deer caught in a headlight as she stood half naked in front of all those magical creatures, hearing their annoying cheering and comments.

Somewhere behind the crowd, a pair of blue eyes were locked on Rose from the moment she appeared on the stage, taking in her exposed body and narrowing at the nasty comments that were being thrown at her.

"Master, what’s the highest bid we can accept?" Felonious cautiously asked beside Cassius.

Cassius didn’t reply, he just kept his face unreadable and his eyes on the stage.

"Before we bid, make a spin for the crowd human slave. Let them decide if they’re satisfied with you," The MC was a fat vampire; he eyed Rose lustily as he said that and went ahead to hold her arm to force her to turn around for the crowd.

Rose reflexively dodged him by stepping away from his approaching hand, putting her hands over her breast to try and cover up the sides of her breast that were spilling out from the exposing lingerie.

"Oh, look! She’s fierce too," The MC commented nastily.

Laughter flew from all over the crowd.

Rose couldn’t see the crowd because of the light on her face, but she could feel their prying eyes on her body, and amidst those eyes, she felt like there was someone, a particularly dangerous one, staring heatedly at her.

"One thousand leu!" A voice rang from the crowd.

Rose snapped her face toward the crowd. She couldn’t see the bidder but she made sure the man saw her glare.

"Ohh! Everyone is impatient One thousand leu going?!" The MC laughed and signaled with his hand to some guards standing beside the stage.

Rose’s eyes widened as she saw two huge demon men walk towards her on the stage.

She started moving backward away from them, her eyes scanning the whole place in search of an escape but before she could move, two hefty hands grabbed her by the shoulder and forced her to kneel in the middle of the stage.

"Kneel, human. The bid has started, and until you get a new master, you shall kneel in front of everyone," The MC spoke loudly, leaving the crowd cheering.

Rose struggled to free herself from the strongholds on her shoulder.

"One thousand leu going?!" The MC asked again.

"Three thousand leu!" Another man’s voice shouted from the crowd.

The MC laughed loudly, clapping his hands, "Wow! Three thousand leu going!" He slowly circled Rose and paused behind her, catching her hair between his meaty fingers.

Rose felt repulsed.

"I’m going to bid on her, brother-"

"You will do no such thing, Dabmond!" Cassius cut Dabmond off angrily.

"But-"

"Young master," Felonious put his hand on Dabmond’s shoulder, slowly shaking his head at him.

Cassius was silent but his features turned stormy as he stared at the stage.

He didn’t know why, but seeing Rose standing on the stage and getting laughed at by these creatures caused a kind of feeling to arise within him.

He was sure he wanted to sell her off and be done with her phase, he knew she wouldn’t survive a week with any creature before they finally killed her, but seeing her up there looking all lost and frightened evoked a kind of unexplainable possessiveness inside him.

He wanted to blind the eyes of every man who looked upon her radiant skin.

But he wasn’t entirely surprised by those feelings within him, by right, he was supposed to form a strong bond by exchanging his blood with any creature that awakened him, but he didn’t understand why he still felt protective of her when she wasn’t a creature of the dark and he hadn’t even exchanged his blood with her.

Still, he wasn’t going to give in to those emotions; he knew better than to form a bond with a human; they were dangerous creatures.

"Three thousand leu go-"

"Six thousand leu!" Gasps and murmurs filled the room.

Everyone turned to see who had bid so high on the human slave.

Rose recognized the voice immediately, but she didn’t know if she was saddened or delighted to hear it.

In the end, she chose to be delighted. No matter what, Eliot would never be as evil as the dark master. The devil you know is better than the angel you don’t.

"Oh, my fangs!" The MC screamed in shock.

"How special is this, human that got the second master to bid so heavily on her; she must have something special within her," He grabbed Rose roughly on the jaw and further lowered her face up for the crowd to see.

"That’s it, slave, you’ve got a new master," He harshly threw her face to the side.

"Six thousand leu going and g-"

"Hundred thousand leu," A calm yet deathly voice easily permeated the atmosphere, instantly quieting the noisy hall.

No one dared to look back at the bidder, they already felt his power subduing their will.

Again, for the second time that night, they’ve been left speechless and shocked by the dark master.

First, he can for an auction event himself. Second; he’s bidding on a slave himself! A slave he had personally ordered to be sold off from his castle.

Everyone wondered with curiosity if Rose was the kind of creature they hadn’t seen before, a creature that possessed the power to charm and draw the attention of two powerful princes all to herself.

Rose watched as the MC shivered in fear at the sound of the voice. And the moment she heard the familiar eerie voice, she knew that her hopes of survival had all been quenched by that once again.

Cassius was surprised at himself, too; in all his years of walking the earth, he’d never been this spontaneous. Never.

But, when he heard Eliot bid on Rose, he felt something crack within him. But he dismissed it as the long time feud he’s had with Eliot. Since the beginning, he’s never allowed Eliot to have anything he wanted, and this was no difference.

Instead of him to have the human, he’ll keep her for himself.

"Ah. And there we have it. I present to you all, the new personal slave of the mighty dark lord!" The MC managed to say, sounding as loud and cheerful as he could be under the stare of the dark lord.

The crowd released a thunderous clap, but none of them dared to say a word, afraid of offending Cassius with their loud cheering.

Behind the crowd, four pairs of eyes stared at Cassius in disbelief. His brothers and Felonious all marveled at his sudden announcement.

Wasn’t he the one who had asked for the human to be sold, and had even refused Dabmond from purchasing the girl?

Why the sudden change of mind? They all wondered in their minds but never said it out.

"Hundred thousand leu gone! Take her to the dark lord!" The MC ordered the two demons were still holding Rose down.

"No! Kill me instead!" Rose managed to slip away from the masculine demons and turned in the opposite direction in a sharp sprint.

"Get her!" The Mc commanded.

There was no way she was going to let herself return to that Blood Castle. She would choose death and any form of punishment to go back there cause it wouldn’t make any difference; she was sure she was going to diein this realm anyway, but, if she went back, she still die too, but in a more painful way.

She wished any other creature had bidden that high on her; she no longer cared if it was a vampire or not, as long it wasn’t him.

Rose reached the edge of the stage and paused, looking down, she saw the faces of different creatures staring hungrily at her.

She gasped and took a step back, moving closer to the wall to get away from the demons.

"Where do you think you’re running off to, slave!"

SLAP!!!

Rose fell to the floor from the force of the slap from the MC, wegding herself from hitting the floor by placing her hands in front of her on the ground.

But before she could raise her face to look at the MC, she heard the deep astonished gasps from the crowd, and in the next second, everywhere went eerily quiet.

She was still wondering what could have caused such a reaction from the crowd when she suddenly saw someone’s head rolling over to her.

"Ahh!!!" Rose shrieked in fright, her body visibly shaking from fear as she stared at the blood-spurting head of who used to be the MC a few seconds ago.

And before she could come out from such traumatic shock, she felt a hand grab her behind the arm and elevate her off the floor.

"No! No! Please!" Rose screamed on top of her lungs.
