he had the right to what
he was doing.

 
    You
dare?

 
    VINCENT’S POV:

 
 
 
    It’s a
pity Arthur couldn’t find a sword he was looking for.  No matter.
 There are a lot of swords in the storage that he may take a liking to.

 
    “King Glayder.
 I hope you found it worthwhile to visit this humble Auction house of
mine.”  I say.

 
    “This
place is anything but humble Vincent, and yes, I’m not sure how you managed to
secure an A class beast core like the Silvercoat Bear.  You’ve got quite
the connections Haha!  I just hope that the Beast Will is still intact.”
 He clasps my back with his hand.

 
    I hear
his wife mumble, “Don’t get your hopes up too much dear.  You know how
rare it is.”

 
    The
Queen turns back to talk with Alice and my wife.  They seem to be
discussing about their kids.

 
    We
turn our attention back to the main stage when I feel a cold chill send shivers
down my back.

 
    I
quickly turn my body and use my arms to cover my face instinctively.

 
    What
is this?  This was the most secure place in this building with the King’s
guard inside as well as my guards outside the room.

 
    My
breathing turns shallow as the weight of something tremendous is pushing me
down.

 
    I feel
cold sweat running down my body as I turn to see both the King and Queen in similar
positions as me.

 
    What
is going on? What is this fear…this fear that me feel as if I had no control
over my life?

 
    ARTHUR’S POV:

 
 
 
    Oops.

 
    I
quickly look away from the pale-faced Sebastian that lost his balance and was
on the floor shivering and quickly sit back down before anyone noticed.

 
    I lost
control there for a little bit.  I just wanted to give him a little scare.
I didn’t intend to leak out that much bloodlust.

 
    I take
a quick peek around to see everyone was either surprised and on guard or afraid
and on the floor.

 
    Shit.

 
    I
didn’t think it would be this bad with this body of mine.

 
    It was
the first time letting my killing intent loose.  Even when I was fighting
against the slave traders, I chose not to emit any kind of intent to catch them
by surprise.

 
    Some
of the King’s Augmenter guards unsheathed their weapons and were on guard from
whatever the unknown source was when the King spoke up.

 
    “Who’s
there !? ” He roared while unsheathing a sword he had on
his waist.  I see Queen Priscilla ready her wand, standing in front of her
kids while my mother and Tabitha were both clutching onto the girls.

 
    Vincent
called more of the guards in and had them scout the area for any assassins that
may be nearby.

 
    It
wasn’t until they confirmed killing an intruder on the roof that everyone
visibly calmed down.

 
    Ooh a
scapegoat!  Your sacrifice was not in vain random man.

 
    Alice
had me in her arms during the inspection along with Ellie who was confused and
scared by what she felt.  The King and Queen were squatted in front of
their children who were both a nervous wreck.  The fierce looking boy had
tears in his eyes while he was hugging himself.  While the princess was
trying to stay strong but was shivering.

 
    Fuck.

 
    “Oy
Sebastian.  How could a royal guard fall on his ass by a little
intimidation from an intruder?  You’re going to die early like this.”
 A hooded Augmenter holding a spear just shakes his head.

 
    “Y-yeah,
I just slipped.  That was it.” Sebastian grabs unto a hand of one of his
fellow guards and pulls himself back up.

 
    He
looks at me afraid at first but just slaps his cheeks.  I could tell he
was scolding himself for suspecting that I was the one responsible for this.

 
    “Now!
For the final item we have up for the lucky fellow fortunate enough to acquire
this…” The auctioneer’s dramatic voice echoed in the hall as a box shaped item
was draped by red sheet.

 
    A very
glamorous woman was pushing the box as she paused for a dramatic effect
