Sold?

We looked for Azalea everywhere but couldn't find her. Around 6am as we all were coming back I saw her walking dejectedly behind Arius.

The three of us exchanged glances in horror and ran over to them.

Arius looked over first, "And where were you three?"

Azalea shook her head at us.

"Just out on a,um, morning walk?" Ben gave his most awkward smile and I felt like giving myself a facepalm but I had to control it. I'm just glad Azalea seems fine.

"You both." Arius pointed at me and Caesar, his expressions seemed quite serious, "I have a task for you two."

Caesar and I stood in the underground hallway of the auction site.

"So we have to make sure that nobody gets their hands on the girl and she gets safely delivered to Eli's brother Lexus." Caesar nodded. "Can't we just buy her straight off?" Caesar shook his head.

"No one can find out we're behind this." Caesar said.

"Right…" Well it makes sense. First we were the ones who loaned the money to one of the nuns, of course not in Arius's name. Then Lee, Arius's secretary or something gave them an offer to sell Rosalie off to this place to pay off the loan. But now we have to make sure no one else gets their hands on her since she's on the item list and many people might want her.

I sighed, this is a dirty world.

Ah! My tummy hurt! I stood up and ran to the bathroom.

God this diarrhea… It's all because I've been drinking too much nowadays. I better stop.

Even the farts came out too loud. I was so embarrassed I didn't want to leave the stall but I have to go back…

I slowly peeked out of the stall. There was no one there, I took a breath of relief, quickly washed my hands and went back.

Caesar looked at me with big eyes, probably wondering why I ran out like that.

"I went to the bathroom, I have diarrhea. I was about to shit my pants" I told him as I joined him again.

"... You don't need to give me the details."

"Just thought you should know. Because I might need to go at anytime again."

"..." He gave me a nod.

I smiled. He's so understanding.

After a while I felt like my stomach was acting up again but I decided to stand guard. It wasn't that bad.

At that time I saw a number of men, like 5-6 of them, all in black make their way towards us. They were probably going to see the girl, Rosalie, we were guarding. No one actually knew we were guarding her but Arius told us to make sure no one lays their hands on her at all.

Caesar used his covered sword to block their path. The guy leading the rest raised his left brow at Caesar, "What do you think you're doing?" He asked.

"Sorry bro. We can't let you pass. The red haired girl is ours-!!!" I was going to give them a smirk but my stomach started rumbling badly. Shit. I need to shit….

He smirked at us while I held my stomach.

"Oh? But we need to see her no matter what." He and his men took out their knives.

Can this get any worse?!!

"Caesar!" He glanced at me as he took his fighting stance, "I need to go!" I whispered.

He first looked a little confused then nodded his head and I didn't waste any time running towards my paradise.

"Hey! The girl's running away!" One of them yelled and was about to come after me when Caesar blocked his path.

He glared at them as he spoke in a serious tone, "She has diarrhea."

Oh my prince! He has won my heart~

I would have admired him more but then I farted and realized I really had no more time left and I ran to the bathroom.

I took a deep breath of relief after this tour and went to wash my hands.

I'm glad that fart in the hallway didn't make any sound… I can literally die of embarrassment now...

As I went out, back to my original post I realized Caesar now stood alone.

"You're done? Already?" Wow… or did I take too much time in the bathroom?

"They were easy."

"I see." I was going to stand at my place when the auctioneers came to get Rosalie. "Oh! Let's go to the auction hall now." I looked at Caesar and he agreed. Our duty here was done.

***

As Rosalie was brought onto stage I felt bad for her, she was being publicly humiliated in front of so many people, stripped to her underwear and blindfolded.

As the auction began one person shouted an amount of ten million immediately. The hall grew silent at such an amount and she was sold.

"That's the guy who had to buy her right?" I asked Caesar and he nodded, "Well let's leave then."

I was sort of at ease now. At least she was with a guy who won't treat her like trash or anything.

"So Arius and Azalea left for Lorelai? It's that town in which they went to attend the festival last time right?" I asked as we were walking back to the mansion.

"Yes." Caesar said and made a stop at the convenience store. A few minutes later he came out with a strawberry flavor yoghurt that he handed to me.

"For me?" I asked and he pointed at my stomach

"It will make you feel better."

I smiled, a very big smile, then chuckled. He gives off such a bubbly feeling. I really like it.

We began walking back again and I felt warm inside.

"Caesar." I called him and he stopped to listen to me, I tiptoed to kiss his cheek which left him astonished and flustered but I loved his expressions.

"Thank you." I told him.
