Five Hundred Million Pesto

Yes, this scene is the chapter two of my bestselling book, the one I clutched tightly in my chest when I tried to unalive myself.

How did I end up being the female lead in my own book?

This is crazy! I scanned around looking for my novel, but it was nowhere to be found. I guess it's still in the field, I should look for it right away!

I rose and thought of rushing to the huge door, but then I remembered that I'll be stopped by the guards.

I remembered how happy and thrilled I was when making life difficult for my female lead while I was writing, not knowing that one day I'll be in her shoes.

I ducked my head in sadness as I remembered how pathetic the life of my female lead was, and I couldn't help but start crying.

Why is my life so pathetic? Is this a punishment from my characters? As an author, I know I have failed you, but can you please forgive me? After all, I made the most handsome and richest man fall in love with you? Ahhhhhhh, I lamented and dropped back on the floor.

"Guards!" The king ordered.

"Lycan King Maxi?" I called out because according to my book, the character of the Lycan king was named Maxi, but instead, he stared blankly at me.

"That's not my name!" He declared.

What! Did someone change my book characters and plot?

That's right! The werewolf who found my female lead wasn't named Alexandria either, definitely, someone made some changes to my book.

Steve Irwin, you bastard! I have to find the book and read it! Since the plotline has been changed, I have to know if he changed everything or not.

The huge door flung open, and two hefty-looking pack guards entered and bowed respectfully to the King.

"Take her to the House Of Pleasure," he commanded.

"Yes, your highness!" The duo chorused and immediately grabbed me by my wrists.

I know where they are taking me, oh my goodness God, I cried inside. According to the custom of Faeloria, they auction and make mortals thier toy.

My female lead was auctioned in the House Of Pleasure, so will I. Ahhhhhhh, I cried inside, my heart aching painfully.

The guards blindfolded me and took me to an unknown location which was noisy, full of laughter, alcohol, and smokes. I heard the loud clanking noise of a metal door, and I was thrown inside. I quickly removed my blindfold only to find myself in a big metal cage.

Yes, this is right, that's what I wrote in my book, it's actually happening to me.

One of the guards suddenly grabbed my hair, and the other grabbed my gown from behind and began to run a very sharp scissors through it. He forcefully tore my clothes, exposing my whole body for the audience to see. My entire face turned crimson red, and I began to fume in anger.

How could they treat me like this! I never wrote this in my book, Steve Irwin, you stupid son of a bitch!!!!! I screamed in my head, anger surging through my whole being.

The guards shut close the cage with a very huge chain and padlock and left, leaving me alone in the House Of Pleasure. I scanned around and, to my disbelief, I saw other captives, some are mythical creatures while a few are mortal like me.

I saw the King and another handsome man enter the House Of Pleasure, and immediately my brain piqued, it was Alexandria. I couldn't see his face the other time, but I'm very sure he's the one.

"Let the auctioning begin!" A female voice announced, and everyone began to laugh and cheer happily.

How dare these lowly creatures try to sell me? I scoffed angrily.

"We have a new treasure today, and I'm very sure everyone wants it," the hostess declared, and immediately, a very bright ray of light descended upon me, exposing my full nakedness to the audience, I nearly died of embarrassment.

I ducked my head in shame, and my hair covered my crying face.

"Wow, what a perfect body!"

"She will serve as a good toy!" I could hear the whispering among the audience.

Good toy? Isn't it enough that I have been Alex's toy for the past seven years, now I have to be a toy here too! To these mythical creatures in human skin? My crying intensified.

"Let the auctioning begin!"

"One thousand pesto!" Someone called out from the crowd.

Pesto! That's right, that's the currency spent in this world.

"Five thousand!" Another voice countered.

"Twenty thousand!" The bickering continued between the audience.

How dare them banter on my worth!

"Two million pesto!" A familiar voice announced, it's the king's voice. I smiled softly,according to my book, I'll be auctioned to the highest bidder, which was then the Lycan king.

The whole building cheered happily, and immediately the king rose and approached me.

"I told you I'll make you mine!" He smiled softly at me and reached for my hair through the little opening of the cage.

"Get your hands off her! Nobody touches what is mine! Five hundred million pesto!" an unfamiliar, sinfully deep voice with a melancholy aura declared from nowhere.

"What!"

The whole audience screamed in shock, even the Lycan king's jaw nearly hit the ground as the unknown voice proclaimed loudly.

The audience turned to the entrance of the building, even I lifted my head in surprise.

I must see who's willing to spend so much on me.

A tall figure walked through the door and down the stage his black robe bellowing gracefully behind him as he approached me, I was able to catch a better glimpse of him.

He stood at six feet three inches tall and his short black hair shone brightly in the bright light.

His half fringe covered his eyebrows, and his soft-looking lips sparkled in the touch of the light.

His tiny almond-shaped eyes fell on me, and I flinched slightly.

He's so handsome, he's the most handsome man I have ever seen in my life.

He looks dashing like a demi-god.

This strange man isn't a character I wrote in my book, what has Steve Irwin done to my book? What are his intentions?

"Get your hands off her!" He ordered calmly, as he grabbed the king's hands and swatted it away aggressively.

He snapped his fingers, and immediately a big black cloth fell from nowhere and onto my cage, hiding away my naked body from the audience.

"You're not allowed to strip others naked in public, King Alfred!" He thundered, and the whole audience fell into eerie silence.

"Don't address my brother the king in such a way!" A voice which I recognize to be Beta Alexandria's yelled.

"Let it go, Alex!" King Alfred ordered.

"Why are you willing to spend so much on her?" King Alfred inquired in an icy voice, I could tell he's so pained.

Who's that guy? And why is he addressing the king with zero respect? How powerful could he be exactly?

Five hundred million pesto? Wow, I guess I'm not worthless after all.

"It's none of your business!" He snapped rudely."Mariah, get her dressed I'm taking her away from here. My assistant will bring the money in the next few minutes," he ordered.

The door opened, and Mariah, the hostess, entered grinning happily at me.

"You're so lucky you attracted a very important figure today," she whispered into my ears and tossed a dress at me.

"Who exactly is he?" I inquired in confusion, my brows furrowed. I got into the short gown which fits perfectly.

"He's never been here before, and he doesn't talk to women except it's business-related. He's never been here before, you're so lucky to be his toy!" She smiled.

"Toy? You've got to be kidding me!" I scoffed angrily. "Enough of all the praises, who exactly is he?" I urged.

"You're quite impatient. Well, he's the richest man in this realm, and he's also the ruler of all beings. He's the demon lord!"
