The items soon dwindled down and the moment everyone was waiting for was quickly approaching, the girl picked up the next page and started to read aloud.
"N-next up we have the last member of a minor noble family," the girl read loudly.
"Lady Amelia Solick," she announced and waited for the cage to be brought forward.
"Solick…" Stanley muttered softly in his private booth where he was accompanied by his three escorts.
"Is something the matter?" Jasmine asked as she held onto his arm with it logged enticingly in her bosom.
"Solick was the name of one of the House's that my father trampled over to expand his territory," Stanley explained, "If she is the last member of the family, she holds legal rights to the area we took, I'll have to buy her and take care of her," he said with a shrug of his shoulders.
This one of the main reasons that House Kurt allowed the existence of the black market, due to their rapid expansion in territory, they lost track of a lot of nobles who escaped, as long as those noble's existed the legitimacy of House Kurt's rule would be questionable.
Any legal auction house would be allowed to sell slaves, but when it came to nobles, there were strict rules prohibiting the auctions house's from selling them, hence the need for the black market.
On the black market such nobles were sold all the time for high figures, which is why the black market was always on the lookout for such nobles.
By keeping the black-market close House Kurt was able to locate a lot of their loose ends and cut them off before they became a problem.
"The opening bid will be 100 gold," the auctioneer called out, while completely unaware of the trouble brewing in the back as the members of the auction house panicked, they had given her the full list and forgot to remove the two missing items on the list.
The crowd went a little wild and instead of waiting for the auctioneer to start raising the price they started shouting out how much they were willing pay.
"150 gold"
"300 gold"
"320 gold"
"380 gold"
The number kept rapidly increasing, the complete properties of a minor noble family could easily reach up to 3000 gold, if anyone possessed the last member of the family the properties would be as good as theirs once they married a member of their family to the rightful owner of the land.
But it also came with it's fair share of risk, in this case earning themselves the wrath of House Kurt, which is why the value of Amelia started so low.
"2000 gold," Stanley said loudly from his booth, raising the price to a point that no one else would be willing to go, everyone looked up at him and had to give up on pushing any higher, they knew that since he was determined to have the girl no one could stop him.
For most of them the purchase of Amelia was just a way to make a lot of money, no matter how much they paid for her, they would have been able to sell her for a profit to House Kurt.
Just as the auctioneer was about to shout sold, someone approached her from behind and whispered into her ear.
The cute auctioneer gulped nervously as she heard what the person told her.
"L-l-l-lord S-s-stanley," she said nervously glancing at Stanley's booth, "T-there was a s-slight mix up, and Lady Amelia is still being brought out of the storage area," she gulped nervously as she said the lie she was told to say.
Stanley revealed a look of displeasure, but eventually waved his hand, "Just send her to my room, I'll collect her when we are done here," he said with a frown.
The girl sighed in relief that Lord Stanley didn't cause a scene, and shifted back to the last two pages.
The person told her to skip to the last item, but as she read through it she felt her mind go blank, she was an expert by no means, but even she knew that the last item was useless, and from what she could tell the only reason the next person was being sold was because of how beautiful the person was.
The girl put on a face of feigned confidence as she started to read out the introductions.
"Next up we have a beauty like no other, who was caught and branded for banditry," she read, and several men whistled from the crowd.
"I love myself a dangerous woman!" someone shouted and laughed gleefully.
The girl had grown used to the perverted men in the crowd, and smiled in amusement, she couldn't wait to see their faces when they realised that they were actually talking about a man.
"This slave is said to have a very tough body but is unfortunately blind and currently has both legs broken," as she spoke the people who were initially excited frowned, they couldn't believe that they were being sold defective goods.
'That was a perfect introduction,' Lirian thought to himself as his cage was moved, 'With an introduction like that no one will be willing to buy me, right?' Lirian thought hopefully as he was revealed to the crowd.
For a few minutes there was a dead still silence in the room as they looked at Lirian for the first time, it was at that moment that their definition of beauty had been completely redefined.
He was truly a beauty like no other, even his facial features were so unique, it didn't match with aesthetic of the people they had met, and this room was filled nobles who had met all kinds of people, from different parts of the world and of different races.
His appearance was the type that any person would call unique, even the auctioneer was staring blankly at Lirian for several minutes before she returned to her sense's.
'Oh, fuck me,' Lirian complained internally as he felt the hungry gazes of many people in the audience.
"Oh my!" Lily swooned openly as she looked at Lirian despite being wrapped firmly in one of Stanley's arms, "What I wouldn't give to have a taste of a man like that," she said extending her long tongue and licking her lips.
"Don't you think that he is to pretty to be a man?" Jasmine questioned, but she kept her gaze fixed firmly on Lirian's body, her eyes undressing him and looking directly at his crotch as if trying to make sure that she was looking at a man.
"No woman could get my motor running so easily," Lavender said while groping her own breasts.
Stanley frowned as the women were openly praising the slave, "So what if he's good looking, I bet that he couldn't satisfy any of you girls in bed," he said with a sour expression.
"Just spending a night with a man so good looking would be a dream come true," Lily said involuntarily while panting like a bitch in heat.
"Are you saying that I'm not good looking?" Stanley asked in a dangerously calm voice.
The three escort all opened their eyes wide as they felt cold chills run through their body, "Of course Lord Stanley is handsome, Lord Stanley is almost as handsome as the man in the cage," they all said with sincere smiles.
Some of the people close by heard the conversation and inwardly wondered how those three women said such a thing with straight faces.
While no one would say it out loud, they all knew that the members of House Kurt were inherently ugly, the insults about their ancestor being born from a human and toad frolicking existed for good reason.
To say that Stanley was handsome, was like saying the colour black is as bright as the sun, it was just ridiculous.
Stanley smiled with a gloating look as the three women praised him incessantly, "Since you like him so much, I'll buy him for you," he said to them with a smirk.
The three escorts eye's opened wide with clear excitement, "That will be amazing!" they said simultaneously and turned back to look at Lirian with hungry looks in their eyes.
"But," Stanley added, "You'll only get him for a night each, once you're done you'll have to get rid of him," he added a condition.
The three escorts were no fools, they knew all about a mans pride, while their master was willing to give them a gift, he wouldn't allow the gift to take them away from him.
They looked at Lirian with pity in their eyes, they truly thought that it would be a pity for such a good-looking man to die, but that wasn't their concern, as long as they had their fun all was well.
They nodded in acceptance of the condition and allowed the auction to proceed.
"The opening bid will start of at 5 gold with an increment of 10 silver," the auctioneer said declaring the start of the auction.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
