Chapter 32: "Bidder Number 316"

Chapter 32: "Bidder Number 316"

Teiro's point of view

"So first of all, we would like to honor our VIP guests for today's auction event. The three Temple Keepers and most of all. Our most honorable individual, the King of the Slave Boundary of the South continent, King Sellvan Zorozian!"

May dumagdag na spotlight sa buong teatro at tinutok ang mga 'yon sa tatlong nagmamataasang postura ng tatlong Temple Keepers. Nakasuot ng puting  mga balabal. Medyo nasa mid 30s na ang edad kung susumahin.

Nasa medyo mataas na bahagi ng teatro kaya't kita talaga sila ng lahat ng nandito. At maliban sa tatlo, may nag-iisang mas nakakaagaw ng pansin talaga sa lahat. Ito ang hari. Its golden crown fits perfectly to its head with a curly dark hair. May makapal na balbas  at nakasuot ng pulang kasuotan.

Napakaraming kawal ang nakapalibot sa kanya kaya't hindi ito basta-basta malalapitan.

"Bakit pala hindi na lang ang Croosevent faction ang pumunta rito? Bakit pa sila nag-utos ng iba kung kaibigan naman nila ang nandito." I'm eager to know that thing for long and now is the perfect time for me to ask about it.

"They have more important thing to do right now. May natagpuan daw silang dungeon na maaaring lungga ng isa sa buhay ni Orikia. And this auction is monthly na nangyayari kaya't ito lang ang nag-iisang pagkakataon para mabawi ang kasama nila before they lose track of her if ever she will be sold to the bidders."

Mas mahalaga pa ang pagtalo kay Orikia kumpara sa buhay ng kasamahan nila. I'm quite doubtful kung pagkakaibigan ba talaga ang turing nila sa babaeng babawiin namin dito.

"Bakit mo naman ba natanong? Don't tell me you're not into this. We don't have time to argue about this, Hezuya." matalim ang tingin nyang banta sa 'kin.

I stared to the stage with a sigh. "I'm more concern about the girl we're gonna get here. Baka kasi may bumili nang mas mahal at hindi na natin kayang tapatan ng binigay nilang budget sa 'tin." I said with worries in my eyes.

"If lumagpas na sa 2 Million ang bid. Then obviously, we can't do anything from bringing her back to her faction." he answered with crossed-arm.

Napalingon ako sa kanya. "Kung gano'n wala tayong gagawing iba, gano'n ba?"

He stared back with one of his eyebrow raised. "Bakit? May magagawa pa ba tayong iba bukod sa bilhin sya rito?"

I can't answer him straight, I answered him as soon as I averted my eyes to the front. "It's not about money. Getting her back is our mission, right? Even if we lose the bidding."

He went silent for a second there. Before he decided to reply. "Listen carefully, Hezuya. If you want to die with that stupid thinking of yours. Don't fucking drag me with you. We're just normal bidders here. And all we have to do is bid. Nothing else."

"With this year, we have gathered 10 slaves with us from the Greneed Slaves house and this is our favorite picks which will surely pound your hearts with admire and excitement! So! . . . what are we waiting for? Let's start the bidding!"

The crowd cheers loudly as the first box is drag at the center of the stage next to the emcee.

"For the first item. . . "

Hindi ko na pinakinggan ang sunod na sinabi ng emcee. I'm sure pinapakilala lang nito ang unang slave na paglalabanan sa bidding.

". . . the bid will start for 20,000 gold coins!"

"30."

"35."

"45."

"60."
