The Baddest Villainess Is Back - Chapter 54
‘You can hide your skin, but not the green eyes behind the mask.’
Roxelyn smirked.
“I have a question, usher.”
“Yes, please speak, Red Cat.”
The usher, now more disciplined than before, responded.
“How much is a mature Kaluta worth?”
The man in the grey wolf mask hesitated at Roxelyn’s question.
The usher looked puzzled.
“It’s not easy to capture a mature Kaluta. They are difficult to tame… The minimum starting bid is usually around 1 billion.”
Roxelyn tilted her head slightly.
“I’ve been smelling this beastly stench and I can’t stand it anymore…”
She laughed softly.
“If I’m not mistaken, the gentleman in front of me is probably a Kaluta.”
The man in the grey wolf mask took a breath and glared at Roxelyn with intense eyes.
“…What do you think?”
“How rude! I don’t understand what the hell you are insinuating.”
“Such distinct green eyes are a characteristic of the Kaluta. Of course, I can’t be certain because your skin is completely covered…”
Roxelyn’s eyes, visible through the holes in the mask, crinkled prettily.
“If you have nothing to hide, why not take off your gloves?”
“…A Kaluta?”
The ushers in white masks in the slave corner simultaneously turned towards the grey wolf and his escort.
“What nonsense are you spouting! Is this how you treat VIPs!”
“Then you can prove it by removing your gloves. We just need to check your skin color.”
Someone entered and spoke.
“Oh, excuse me. I came in because it was so noisy.”
This time, it was a man wearing an expressionless red mask, different from the others.
‘A red mask…’
Roxelyn’s gaze landed on the man in the red mask.
The white masks seemed to be worn by simple hires.
A red mask indicated a key person, essentially someone from middle management.
“…”
The grey wolf remained silent.
He couldn’t prove it.
If Roxelyn’s guess was right, this man was the half-brother of the King of Kaluta.
The jealous brother, who came all the way here to eliminate the King’s son.
In her world, this man succeeded in killing the boy and sent his head to the King of Kaluta, making it look like the act of a noble of this empire.
Then, blinded by grief after losing his son, the King of Kaluta waged war against the empire. Emperor Diyanitas killed the King of Kaluta in battle, but himself died soon after from injuries sustained in the fight.
Thus, a change of generations occurred, and not long after, Roxelyn also died.
The main course of events was likely to remain the same.
‘I have no intention of starting another war in this world…’
She came to the auction to take this child and start negotiations with Kaluta under better conditions.
Naturally, she didn’t intend to be interrupted.
“No answer, I see.”
The man in the red mask spoke up.
“That means…”
Roxelyn saw the blue eyes behind that mask widen.
“It would be alright to view that, too, as livestock.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the grey wolf and the man in the black mask looked at each other and then dashed towards the exit.
The exit where the red mask stood.
Watching them approach, the man in the red mask burst into laughter.
Then, something black and shadowy extended around him.
A dark mass gathered into a circle and soon expanded into a giant ring, capturing the two fleeing men.
Swallowed by the darkness, only their heads protruded above the circular form.
