Chapter 53. Open you eyes.

Alaric was angry and the last comment made him even more annoyed. At this point, he wished he was stronger than everyone else and this man would be dead.

He knew that Aurora was thinking that the man wanted to be nice to a beauty. This was another reason he was angry. It was easier for someone to take advantage of her. Maybe this was the reason she opened up to him.

Maybe if it was someone else she would have fallen the same way. He was no longer proud over his actions that day. She read more books about people but she encountered less people. She was socially impaired. She could be easily trapped and used.

He took it as his initiative to teach her everything. And the first lesson was going to be with this man. Though he could not beat him, he was going to find something out about him. He was then going to bring him to shame.

With these thoughts, he turned and looked at the man. His eyes narrowed to a slit. One would think he was an assassin at the moment as his eyes became like raging lightning. Zigzag lightning crossed between his eyes as he clenched his fists.

Everyone in the hotel who had given attention to the manager saw this and saw him release his moustache and stand like a cadet. It was then that they all attempted to check his cultivation level..

The first attempt was not successful and they just thought that the boy was just good at sealing his aura and had their second take. There was no way someone in the Cryptic Plane could hide his cultivation from someone in the Master Plane. Let alone the few in the Salvia Plane.

Their second attempt was unsuccessful and so was their third. But how could they beleive it? There was no giving up! One minute later, everyone had stopped and were all staring at the boy who was holding his "girlfriend's" hand with a knowing smile. His nose pointed high as his arrogance seeped and reached the ceiling.

They looked at their plates embarassed and pretended to continue eating but they would raise their eyes every second and still see him standing with the same posture. One who was even more tensed was the old man. He was not that old but he appeared to be in his fifties.

He also had tried to analyse the cultivation stage of the boy and failed. He was just in the early stages of the Salvia Plane. He was scared maybe he had offended a young master of a prominent family. He wished that he could discard that thought.

Which young master went around wearing sweats? Only those with no background could not afford expensive clothes. He discarded that thought for there were no known treasures to hide one's cultivation. If there was, only the top of the top families could be in its possession. And here was one with such a treasure. If he dared just lay a hand on him, he would end up dead!

He shivered slightly as he calmed his nerves. He had to maintain a good relationship with this young master. If he knew what this young master had in plan, he would shiver more. Then he was hit! Didn't all young masters like babes? He had plenty of them in this hotel.

He approached the young master and cleared his throat. His nervousness had disappeared and he was wearing a confident smile. When he reached him, he cleared his throat as he pretended to mend his tie.

"Young master, its my honour to have you in my hotel. Everything you would like will be served to you for free in this hotel. We could then talk over a meal..."

Alaric was delighted. Free food! His appetite forced him to eat less so as to save his origin stones. Aurora was laughing. It was due to three reasons. Though Alaric had not told her how he was sealing his aura, maybe a technique... She was laughing in her inside because all these adults had failed to read him!

The second reason was when she heard Alaric get called young master. Though she did not know his background, she was sure he was not. The last reason made her giggle. She knew about Alaric's appetite. He said he had eaten a whole giant red lizard. It was hard to beleive but her faith in him could not waver.

She knew in a few hours, the manager was going to have a life lesson.

"I would like to talk but I usually don't talk and eat at the same time, food comes first and talks come later," Alaric said and the manager smiled knowing his plan was going on well.

"Follow me to the VIP launch," the man ushered them in and led them to the stairs. He could be said to be the happiest man alive after befriending a young master. He could feel the jealous stare from others as they watched them climb the stairs.

The VIP launch was very magnificent with coaches rather than chairs. There was also a chandelier on the ceiling lit with white glowing stones. The floor 2as brown and wooden. Glowing stones were used and candles sometimes to l8ght chandeliers. The VIP launch was half full and they chose a seat in the corner.

After they had settled, the man raised his hands and a seductively dressed lady came in carrying a white tray. Alaric could tell from her young state that she was not past 16. Well, that did not help hide her beauty. Pink hair and wearing nothing than strapped white bra and panties. She was also not wearing any shoes as a short legs stepped on the floor with caution.

Those in the VIP launch especially men could not help but drool at her. He breasts were unusually large for he petite figure and he hips appeared also wider than normal. She had a sweet smile that sent men to paradise. The manager had a triumphant smile as he watched the young master's reaction. He surely had nailed it!

Alaric was not even staring her beauty. He had mixed expression. Every feature of her body dictated happiness but her eyes... He could tell that she did her best to hide her shame and also pain. He was wondering why she would show pain.

He had a serious look on his face that even Aurora was in shock. She could only commend his self control. Many men were drooling but he did not. It was like he was trying to figure something out. She also knew that behind the biggest smiles lay the deepest sorrows.

Then, the lady finally reached them and stood infront of Alaric and did as instructed beforehand. She leaned on the table and crawled towards him on the table. She was surprised for she was not seeing any change from him. When she arrived, he was wearing a playful expression but immediately he saw her, it turned serious.

Was this how he drooled? But his eyes said that he was studying her. Not any sign of lust. She became nervous and wondered when he would start to appreciate her beauty. Every man by then should have done it already and pulled her to sit on their lap. She kept avoiding his gaze but she accidentally locked her eyes to his.

She regretted instantly. She failed to look away. Was it even possible? Was she not the one charming the other? Her thoughts only asked one question? How could he be so beautiful?

Everyone stared at the two and one could hear their whispers. They are having a moment. The manager only smiled harder as he saw his chance to steal the girl who had been deserted by the young master. He raised his hand and reached to cup hers.

Aurora was in a mixture of emotions. Had he just been tranced by the beauty he barely knew? How long had she been with him and he failed to recognize her? What was tba6t feeling? That welling in her chest. Why were her eyes getting blurry? Why did she have that lump in her throat?

Where was she going to hide her face now? She could feel tears forming in her eyes. She blinked several times and dispersed them before they fell. She saw the man reaching to hold her hand which she had rested on the table. She felt weak to move them as she closed her eyes and let him do as he wanted.

She faced the ceiling so that no tear could fall. She felt his hands on her sweaty ones. She did not know how he had moved to their seat and his hands wrapped on her shoulders. He was also seating where Alaric had been sitting. She now understood it. He had already left with that girl.

Maybe she should have tried to seduce him like her... She did not stop him as he pulled them back and lay their backs on the coach. She also did not stop her head from falling on his left shoulder. She could only imagine the sneer the man had. She had fallen into a trap.

She tried to sit up but she could not. He held her tightly not willing to let go. She wished she had not followed Alaric in this mission. She also blamed herself for falling for the old man's trick. Her heart was now beating wildly. What would happen now?

Had Alaric not gone with that girl to have some adult stuff? Was the old man going to force himself on her? She now could not stop her tears. She was going to lose her Innocence to an old man. She was just a teenager...

She did not even know him. How was she going to face the world after such animosity was done upon her? Was she not a princess? Why were her guards not coming to resue her? Unknowingly, she clutched his chest as she sobbed.

Was she a fool? Crying on his chest was only going to encourage him to take her to his room. She felt him let her go and she felt his two hands on her cheeks. Her first kiss was going to be lost to an old man!

"Open your eyes," she heard his voice. Sje could not dare.

She could not imagine his beards touching her lips. It already felt disgusting in her mind. She felt him shake her head.

"Open your eyes," she just let her tears fall as she tightened her eyelids. "I said open open your eyes."

Her body shuddered under the command. This was an order and like a puppet, she opened her eyes. She was now submitting herself to him to do all those acts to her. She slowly opened her eyes. She had lost her will to live. Even her upils darkened and grew distant...
