Reconnecting with the Past
“Sold! Thank you very one for bidding on this sweet little lady here!” the host declared happily.
His happiness did not surprise me given the amount that Prince Leonard had bid to finally win the auction and procure the girl. As for the reason why he wanted to purchase that girl so badly, I had no idea.
“Let’s go. We’re done here,” he said calmly as he stood up from his seat.
It was clear that he was done and had achieved what he had come here to do. I was still too shocked to say anything or even stand up from my seat. I let the prince’s gaze on me for a few seconds before he offered me his hand. When I hesitated to place my hand into his, he ended up yanking me up to my feet by pulling on my wrist.
“Where are we going?” I asked the moment that I found my voice again.
“Follow me this way,” the prince said as he tugged on my arm to make sure that I followed him.
