The enthusiastic and rowdy uproar resonated from beyond the curtain, and all he could do was stay put in his damned cage. They caged him like an animal, or worse.
A monster. Listlessly, he sat there against the iron bars with his head bent down. Not only was he barricaded, but chains also served to constrict him like a brood of snakes strangling prey.
Under his breath, he was muttering a hateful mantra.
"Die, die, die--DIE--die, die, die..."A degenerate who was keeping guard kicked the cage out of abhorrence, and barked an order for him to be quiet. Anger flared up in his golden eyes, and he lunged for the scumbag, wishing he could pulverize the creep right then and there.
But he couldn't.
His glare carried such malice and fury, it should have burned a searing hole right into the lout's forehead. He gripped onto the deterrents tightly, wanting so desperately to tear right threw the barrier and escape this iniquitous fate.
But he couldn't.
The idiot flinched and chuckled nervously, trying to keep an air of arrogance, though it was obvious that he just pissed himself.
Suspicious men, all masked, appeared from out of the shadows. They approached the cage, bearing frightful looking tools and instruments. No matter what, he didn't drop his cantankerous gaze. He growled as they got closer and closer.
Eventually, after a lot of difficulty, the coterie managed to partially sedate him. They draped a silk cover atop the cage. All together, they maneuvered him onto the stage. A thunder of excitement roared throughout the entire auditorium.
In spite of himself, he was shaking disturbingly. Was is from the cold of the old theater? Was it a side-effect from all the drugs that was forcefully implanted into him? From outrage? From fear? Certainly, it wasn't fear. It couldn't be fear. It can't be fear. He didn't have to be strong. Didn't want to be in the first place. But he knew he had to be brave. No other choice remained. This was the only option. The last resort.
This was all for him. For his brother. Due to unfortunate circumstances, It was either him or Kasuka. He had to grit his teeth and keep telling himself that so he wouldn't snap.
For Kasuka. This is for Kasuka. He shouldn't have to succumb to this. This is for him! He's safe now... The charming voice of the auctioneer boomed over the drone of the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The night is far from over! We've saved the best for last!"The semblance was removed, and he was utterly exposed before the masses of the shady upper-class. His vision was hazy, but he was aware that the audience were all gathering to gawk at him. It was a sparkling sea of sequins and feathers, as every man and woman wore an elegant mask, each unique and horrifically gorgeous. The gaudy colors hurt his eyes. Everyone was drinking champagne and whispering rapturously.
"Now, take a gander! This fine specimen is quite handsome, no? Hohoho. He's in his early twenties, I believe. So, he's ripe, yet still young!"Gradually, he was regaining consciousness. His head was still spinning, and the obnoxious human-peddler only made matters worse when he yanked at his blond hair.
"As you can see, he has a full head of beautiful golden locks. It's definitely natural, too!" LIE. But if the aristocrats knew that, his value would decrease. Beforehand, his genitals had to be shaved to hide the incriminating evidence.
"While he is on the thin side, he's got a lot of muscle and he's healthy! He could prove to be very useful if you need leverage around the house.
He stands at approximately 188cm tall.
His complexion is fair, and look at those eyes! Like sweet honey, am I right?!"His madness was accumulating the more the vendor spoke, and he didn't know how much longer he could take this humiliation. The masked men encircled around him, ready to restrain and reprove. The swarm of notorious nobles gaping and gossiping about him fueled his animosity as well. When the auctioneer began stroking and boasting the length of his manhood, he just about had enough.
"...Well, size doesn't always matter, if you know what I mean, but see how exceptionally large he is? In his case, he's around--"He swung his fist with enough power to dislocate the auctioneer's head, but the attendees sabotaged his attempt, ambushing with hindrances. It took several men to bound his wrists behind his back with shackles, and he continued to violently thrash about.
He became more determined to break free when he caught a glimpse of a serum. It wasn't the dangerously sharp needle that scared him, it was the injection itself. With ease, he was able to destroy the chains, but the masked men were persistent and quick to reclaim control.
The auctioneer just laughed merrily.
"Aha! And this is why he's the top prize. Appearances may be deceiving, but I implore you to not judge a book by its cover. This man happens to be gifted with superhuman strength! It's true. He was built to endure, built to demolish, and built to last!
Observe and witness the phenomenon yourself."The auctioneer and a few of his assistants were suddenly equipped with various weapons. He smirked wickedly, brandishing a leather whip. On the auctioneer's command, the offered slave was subjected to beatings and lashings. However, he seemed immune to the pain, not even wincing. The scars left behind were faint and hardly noticeable.
The room was filled with gasps of awe. The auctioneer chuckled and smiled cheerfully.
"You see? You could have a lot of fun with this one. He's durable." He clucked, slapping his marred back.
He tried to struggle out of the grasp and fight, but ceased as soon as another drug was stabbed into his flesh. A howl of ire and agony bounced off the walls. This time, an aphrodisiac was instilled in his system, making him appear calm, but his libido was insanely insatiable.
"Ahhhh!!"Involuntarily, he made his legs spread wide, and his cock was becoming inflamed with arousal. He was now sensitive to the slightest touch, his eyes were half-lidded and clouded with lust, and his breathing became very husky. His cheeks were flushed. He was a hot mess, displayed before the riches and royals.
"Nnngh...Ahhnn...Hnn.""So, who wants him? I'll be accepting bids now! Make sure you state your price eloquently and articulately."
