Chapter 2

Taehyung slowly but with enough confidence, opened the door only to be met with a whole crowd of people gathered around who seemed to be waiting for someone - him. He quickly bowed his head, reciting some honorifics before pacing towards his Madam who was unusually smiling at him. He noticed how the officials stared at him, some in awe and other in lust.

Finally, in what seemed like a century, An official stood up, greeting both his mistress and Taehyung. Taehyung just sat there, thoughts running throughout his head as to why he was there. He couldn't figure his use in the meeting they were currently holding.

"Mistress Lea, We are very greatful to be here at this moment " One of the officials spoke, startling Taehyung.

"Ah, I'm also very happy to have you all here today!" Lea answered with a fake smile that didn't reach her eyes.

"Should we go straight to the point or is there something you want to do first" The official asked receiving a nod from Mistress Lea.

"I've prepared a feast and would love for you all to join me before taking leave" She said clasping her hands in what seemed to be delight. The officials glanced at each other nodding in response.

"We would love to, Mistress Lea"

The mistress eyed Taehyung signalling him to bring the dishes as she leads them to the hall. He quickly complied, rushing towards the kitchen, informing the other servants. He picked a hill of the plates, making his way to the hall when he tripped forward, spilling everything on the ground at once.

"Oh no no no, not now" Taehyung mumbled picking the broken glasses but as he turned around, was met by a raging woman.

"M-mistress Lea" He whispered frightenly. "I-I can explain"

"Oh you useless being, do you know how much that plate costs? Anyway, you're already paying us a huge dept so I don't really mind. Hurry up and settle down with us" She muttered smirking before leaving a confused but shocked Taehyung on the cold tiled floor.

"What does she mean?" He thought as he quickly gathered the left over pieces of glass deposing them off before picking another bunch of plates, carefully placing them on the table. He felt eyes on him which brought a shiver through his spine but remembered he had taking his scent suppressants. He made way towards his seat not daring to touch any food in order not to get scolded.

After a long while, the officials had finally finished and where gathered at the conference hall.

"Let's move straight to the point" An official Taehyung recognized as the head spoke, drawing all their attention towards him.

"How much? cause I'm sure he would cost quite a fortune but don't worry, we're absolutely ready to pay, name the prize"

"Six hundred thousand, how about that?" The mistress questioned receiving a shocked expression from the official .

"Wow! That's lower than I expected. Okay then it's settled. Bring the money!"

Taehyung was utterly confused on what was going on. He felt like it had something to do with him even though he wasn't sure.

"I must say, he's such a beauty" He muttered pacing towards Taehyung who gave him a confused look.

"The prince would definitely accept him"

"Here it is my lord" A servant who arrived with them muttered lowly handing him the bag.

"Thank you"

"Mistress Lea, we're taking him, thank you for your time"

"You're welcome Sir" She bowed slightly.

"Taehyung! pack your stuff! You're leaving with them!!"

Taehyung froze that moment. He didn't understand anything that was going on. He was hella confused.

"M-miss I don't understand, w-whats going on?"

"No time for questions, we've already kept them waiting!, go pack your bags"

"Actually, there's no need to do that, he would be provided with tons, don't worry" the official gave her an assuring smile.

"Kid, let's go"

Taehyung could do nothing but to follow the officials. He couldn't believe that he had just been sold to some people he didn't even know personally, all he knew was that they were officials from God knows where. He couldn't believe that the family he trusted and loved gave him up to be sold. He couldn't even cry.

"I pray I'm lent into safe hands" he muttered as he followed them out of his home without glancing back.
