It was already morning. Two figures could be seen lying besides each other in a lodge room.

Rather than lying besides each other they were fast asleep. Obviously these two figures were Kylo and Rosalyn.

Early morning sunshine shone on one of the figures. After few minutes the figure woke up. The figure was Kylo who just woke up.

Rosalyn was still sleeping in his arms. Looking at her flawless face once again, Kylo entered a trance.

It would be a lie to say Kylo did not start to like her. Everything about her was almost perfect.

Her looks. Her figure. Her intelligence. Her strength. Her maturity. Her cooperation.

Almost everything.

But Kylo knows to be with her forever will be difficult. In fact it would be very difficult.

Because she was already someone's wife. Being someone's wife is not a brake for Kylo. Kylo would not care about a woman's marital status as long as he liked her enough.

The problem was that she was a Queen. And if that was not enough, she was the Queen of the biggest kingdom on this continent. Kylo would not have bothered, had it been just a small kingdom.

But sadly it was not. It was a kingdom whose ruling region is almost the same as an average Empire.

And she herself was from a strong business family. The family had little influence in the kingdom but they were pretty famous all over the continent.

Even though they did not have powerhouses, they had their own elites. And if that is not enough, their wealth, even if not at the top, can definitely be compared to one of the top 5 in the continent.

But what was scary about her family was neither the elites nor the wealth but how they had connections with few powerhouses.

She never mentioned these to Kylo, but he knew. Rather he arranged everything.

Why?

It all started one and a half years back.

***

In an area which seemed reserved only for the upper class, a crowd of people were gathered in front of a nine storey building, which was different from usual noble areas which had a quiet atmosphere.

If this happened in other days this would have surely caused a commotion but this day it seemed perfectly normal.

Why?

Because today was the Grand Auction of the continent. The biggest auction house of the continent, conducting the biggest auction of the year. This type of Auction happened only once in a year.

And that was the very reason why not any tom, dick or harry were allowed. Only people of status were allowed inside the auction house today.

People of status generally meant those who had their own surname and the last name was recognised by everyone, especially the 'upper ones' in the continent.

But it was not just people of status, but even people who were famous but not of status were also invited.

This did not mean the commoners were not allowed. But commoners only with enough potential, talent and wealth were allowed.

Potential and Talent were tested by the auction house before they were allowed an entry.

Far away from the auction house, in a seven storey building, six people, hoods covering their face, could be seen standing on terrace, looking towards the direction of the auction house.

The hoods were of three different colors. Two people were wearing each colored hood. It seemed as if the group was divided into three groups of two each based on hood color.

A girl's voice could be heard from under the hood "Iyaa~ it has been so long since we came out of hiding."

"*haa* you are already this excited, Ana Don't make any trouble for us when we enter..." said the hooded person, standing in front of the group who seemed to be leading them.

The girl named Anastasia, under the hood, said in a coquettish tone while hugging the leader's arms "Ehhhhh... Can't I, as the sole lady here, not have any advantages?"

They were still looking down on the people entering the auction house.

Another male voice could be heard from one of the hooded people "Hmph! Really why would you be choosen today as one of us six by my heroic, handsome, dashing, awe inspiring, admir--"

"Hmmm Kylo are you sure it is safe to enter?" An old man's voice interrupted the male voice who was about to praise his master and asked the one standing at the front of the group in a concerned voice.

Obviously the one interrupted by the old man was Yan Qingchang and the one leading the group was Kylo.

Kylo, who was still hugged by Anastasia, replied in a rather nonchalant tone "Why not? What's there to be afraid of?"

The sun was starting to set at this time. More and more crowd were gathering near the auction house.

"That does not sound convincing when we are covering our face with hoods." The old man chuckled and said.

"Well isn't it your fault, Uncle Dumas?" Another voice, similar to Yan Qingchang replied to the old man. Obviously he was Yan Zhongyue.

"Well yeah, all of our bounties increased since the moment The Evil Cultivator, Nicholas Dumas joined." The last person, who seemed the most normal in the group replied, in a heavy voice.

Although he was trying to joke, people can't help but get serious hearing his voice. It was not him being serious. It was just that the heavy voice was his natural tone.

"Don't say that depressing name, Bai Yishan." Dumas said in a sad voice.

Bai Yishan chuckled and before he could continue, Yan Zhongyue said "Well, we have already been famous before Uncle Dumas and Anastasia even joined."

"Yeah, by what Sire did back then in one of the eleven continents, people can not help but get serious about us." Yan Qingchang chucked and said while looking at Kylo.

"One of the eleven continents? Really??" Anastasia said in a voice with sarcasm mixed in it.

Generally someone should have replied to this. But everyone fell silent. They observed Kylo and even if they can not see his face, the depressed and lonely aura around Kylo made it clear how sad Kylo was right now.

Kylo calmed himself down forgeries about his past before saying to the group "Alright, it is high time we get serious now."
