They are all watching Lady Kretin making havoc in front of them. The lady keeps on saying that she will become the future Empress of this empire and no one can defy her anymore. Scratch that. Lady Kretin already assumed that she is now the Crown Princess who married Prince Marius and will become an Empress soon."Prince Marius will love me. And I will become the Crown Princess that he truly deserves. Sooner or later, I will become pregnant with his son. That child will become the successor of his richest. And you! You will be thrown out because my husband will no longer need your service! I will become his wife and we will have a son to become his successor!"Charlotte did not say anything. She stares at Lady Kretin for a moment before standing up and walking towards her. The lady does not seem like she noticed her movements. Lady Kretin just keeps on mumbling her plans repeatedly to herself."Lady Kretin." Charlotte called her."What-"A loud sound of a slap is suddenly heard inside

The host starts the bidding when he removes the cover on the first slave. He is a skinny young man around her age. His facial expression suddenly changed when a male guest bid on him for twenty pieces of gold. Soon, the host announced that the first slave was sold for thirty pieces of gold.The bidding continues and the guests are getting more excited as the slaves being sold on stage are getting better because of their unique and beautiful appearances. Minutes later, they finally arrived at the last two slaves. The host also mentioned that the two slaves they are going to sell tonight are very special when it comes to their appearance and skills.The host explained something about their next product. According to him, that slave came from the hidden desert kingdom called Buharia Kingdom where they train a lot of skilled warriors. To make sure that he will not do anything, the host said they tightened his hands and put a cover on his mouth to prevent him from escaping. He also added t

"What's your name?""Tell me your name first and I'll tell you mine after that."When Charlotte didn't receive any reply from him, she continued."Why? Is your identity also special like mine?" Charlotte mockingly said."I don't have any name." He slowly replied.Charlotte gives the man a questioning look."I don't possess such an important thing like that."Charlotte stares at him with squinted eyes. She's trying to see if he is just lying to her or not. But all she can see is his serious expression while looking back at him. If this young man is just trying to fool her, then he can definitely compete with the best stage actors and actresses performing in the famous opera house in their empire."Why don't you give me a name?" The silver-haired man suddenly asked.The female General turns her head around and gives him a frown. Charlotte has already noticed it the first time she met this young man.

Earlier, Sir Gabriel went outside to see if there are any potential knights they can hire to join the Nocturnus Knights. There are a total of one hundred ten applicants and so far, he only saw thirty potential applicants including the slave they met in the auction before. When the Vice General saw him, he almost asked what is he doing there.Sir Gabriel knows there is something special about that slave since General Commander Valentine is paying attention to him. The way he presents himself is similar to a noble who was taught etiquette since young. He is now thinking if that slave originally comes from a noble family and got separated because of some situation.After checking all the applicants, Sir Gabriel grouped them into five. They will test their skills and abilities through sparring. Sir Gabriel assigned the four groups of applicants to the other knights while he will spar with the group where the silver-haired slave belongs.Sir Gabriel gave a quick glance to the other knights

"General Commander Rovira, these four knights decided to be a part of the Nocturnus Knights. Sir Charles is going to be the one leading them."Charlotte is already expecting this result. Among all the recruits they had on that day, only Charles and the recruits who managed to catch her eyes are standing out too much. Not to mention, Charles managed to last while sparring with Sir Gabriel who is known as a loyal subordinate of General Commander Valentine. She heard that Charles has captured every knight's attention because of it.'And to think that I'm the one who came up with his name.'Charles, who is now clad in his new knight uniform, puts a fist on his chest in front of her and bows his head. Once he does, the three knights behind him follow his gestures and they all bow their heads too."We are now joining the Nocturnus Knights, General Commander Valentine.
