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
When Charlotte returns inside the office, she sees Prince Marius staring at the huge painting hanging on the wall. It is a simple painting of a small flower growing in a ruined forest. Charlotte bought it from a poor painter who is selling his works in the busy plaza."I did not notice you like this kind of painting." Prince Marius said without looking at Charlotte. "I will send my secretary to send you a few paintings in our treasury that you can display in your mansion.""There's no need for that. It will only become too much work for my employees." Charlotte replied."Don't be like that. Just treat it as a reward for the bravery you showed in our birthday banquet.""You are too stubborn. But forget it. Just drink the tea that I brought here. The chef is worried and says it will help you calm your nerves." "Oh."Prince Marius slowly picked up the cup and smelled the liquid in it. After cooling it for a while, he drinks the tea and the minty taste of it quickly spreads in his mouth.
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
When Charlotte opens her eyes, she feels dizzy and her legs suddenly lose their strength making her sit on the ground. She can also feel a faint throbbing sensation in her chest. Charlotte has to take a few deep breaths before shaking her head. Whoever used that teleportation spell on her is definitely a skilled magician. People who use magic are not rare in their empire although only a few can succeed in this field. Summoning a teleportation circle on someone away from you can only be achieved if the caster has a lot of mana in his body and certainly knows how to perform advanced magic. But Charlotte hasn't heard of any person who is good at using magic in their empire.Still, the teleportation spell they used for Charlotte is unstable. The reason why she feels dizzy is that the caster's body is in trouble. A perfect teleportation spell should bring a person from one place to another without making them feel anything. In case the person they are transporting can feel a sudden uneasi
"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. But isn't he too carefree for a slave? He keeps on asking for things from her without an
A week has already passed since everyone heard about that attack that happened in their empire to stop the illegal auction. During the attack, both the Solaris Knights and the Nocturnus Knights arrested a lot of nobles who were involved in that case. Some of them were punished by removing their status as nobles while the others were exiled after knowing the other crimes that they were doing for years now.The slaves that were captured during that operation are now finally free. The Royal Family gave them immediate medical assistance. These slaves are also welcome to be a citizen of their empire if they cannot go to another place anymore. While they are still thinking, these slaves are being treated nicely and they are feeding them nutritious food due to their malnutrition.Because of this fast response, Prince Marius earns a lot of recognition and praise from the people of their empire once again. They are saying this empire will surely be in good hands once he becomes an Emperor in t
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
When nighttime comes, the Royal Palace is already quiet. Only the knights and a few servants are still awake as they continue doing their duties and responsibilities. In this quiet and tranquil atmosphere, the applicants sleeping inside their designated room have no idea that it will become a sleepless night for them.In one of the applicant's bedrooms, the door slowly and quietly opens before a person dressed in black enters it. The intruder's movement is too careful not to make even a soft sound. Soon, that person quickly finds the target sleeping on the bed and covered with a thick blanket. The intruder slowly sheathes the short sword and points it at the target. But before it can swing the sword, someone attacks the intruder from behind.Charles, the intruder's target, already noticed the unusual movements outside of his room. Before that person entered his room, Charles quickly got out of his bed and positioned the pillows to make it look like he was still sleeping. After that, h
