Everyone was shocked to hear those words. Why did their miss want to buy this human?! Didn't she already have enough servants at home and at the office as well?! Why was she so eager for this human?
Just what did she see in him that compelled to voice this out?!
There are gases filled with hatred and jealousy darted toward the human standing at the door. At this time, they cursed this human to death. And at the same time, they also wanted to take this human's place and become a person to be chosen by this beautiful young lady.
Zion was also shocked after hearing those words. He wanted to clear his ears and pinch himself. Did a beauty just ask him to be her servant?! Why did you feel like he had stepped inside a p*rno?!
After coming to this world, he was clear of his own status in his mind. Humans weren't treated carefully with heartfelt gratitude. Instead, they were all seen as enemies of the entire mankind. Other races hated humans to death to the point that they were ready to trample the humans beneath their feet.
So how could a beauty such as this dwarf girl ask him such a thing?! What was she even thinking at this point? Did she not fear that everyone would go against her choice? Did she not think that they would say bad things about her just because of her words?
This dwarf girl was indeed a bit bold. Zion's eyes squinted at her as he opened his mouth and said, "I already have a master. Thank you very much."
This was the first time someone had said no to the dwarf girl. But instead of getting angry, the smile on her face widened. It almost felt like she had seen something so wonderful that she couldn't stop grinning.
The people around her were blinded by her expressions. They had never thought that they would be seeing such a scene in this lifetime. No one had ever imagined that a human could move the heart of such a stone hearted lady.
"That's fine. I'll just purchase you."
"My owner cannot see you for now. I apologize for the inconvenience." Zion was also affected by such a smile. He almost wanted to drop the act of being a cool and calm person and dash out of this place to save himself from getting embarrassed in front of such a big crowd. His pants were already tight enough. If there was any reaction down there, everything would be clearly seen by people around him.
What?! He didn't get laid yet. Even he, as a human, had emotions. He also had a limit beyond which he wouldn't be able to control his natural urges. He knew he wasn't some kind of saint who would be cool and calm in front of such a beautiful young girl. Even though this lady was a dwarf, she was a walking personification of beauty.
When the lady heard those words, the dwarf lady didn't feel depressed. Her smile deepened as she walked closer to the human. When she was just half a feet away from him, she raised her hand and gestured to Zion to come closer.
Zion hesitated before bending down to her level. Soon he could see a mischievous squint in her eyes. After seeing that, he narrowed his eyes as he felt a bad premonition in his heart.
Before he could build a guard around his heart, the lady raised her hand and gently patted his head. Then she caressed his hair as she let out a satisfied sigh. "You're so handsome. If I can't have you as a servant, I'll have you as my husband! Let's get married!"
Zion, who was already shocked enough after hearing this lady's previous words, widened his eyes and stepped a few steps back.
What the heck?! Would someone tell him what kind of stupid development was this?! Inside his mind, his system was going almost crazy to the point of fainting. He instantly opened his mouth and yelled. "Say yes! Like right now! If you dare to refuse her proposal, I will break off our relationship! And I will never contact you ever again!"
Zion coldly looked at the system. "Fine, go ahead. I don't need your help anyway. When was the last time you had to help me for real?"
The system looked at his host with a crying expression on his face: "....."
In anger, the system turned himself off and pretended to be dead.
On the other hand, the people standing around the dwarf lady were so shocked that they couldn't even keep their expressions straight. Asking a human to become a servant was one thing they could bear. But why was she proposing to him right in front of their eyes?! Why did things go beyond their imagination like this?!
They all collectively glanced at the human standing before them and glared at him with red eyes. How could this human do this to them?! They almost wanted to take out their weapons and kill him.
One of the soldiers took a step toward the human as he looked at Zion with deep hatred in his eyes. Then he said to the dwarf lady without turning back, "My lady, why do you want to choose him out of everyone?! Even this dhampir man would do! This human doesn't deserve such a status! And don't you remember the fact between all the races?! Do you really want to break that by giving humans high status in society?!"
The dwarf lady's expressions darkened at first, but when she realised what her soldier said was the truth of the situation, she couldn't help but make a depressed expression on her face.
When others saw this kind of expression on her face, they were also saddened by that. They immediately forgot all about how she proposed to a human for marriage and focused on the lady instead.
"My lady, what happened?!"
"Miss, please have the drink. You'll feel happy again!"
"Madam, please don't be sad! I'll make a good cup of tea for you right away!"
Just like that, murmuring occured around Zion again as Martin finally nudged his side and whispered, "How about we run away?"
Good idea, but Zion didn't want to do that. He knew that if he ran away today, he would miss out on a lot of clues around this place. Finally, he shook his head and said to the young dwarf lady, "I'm really sorry. I can't accept your proposal. If I were a dwarf, I'd have thought about it, but I can't for now because even my master isn't here."
The face of that dwarf lady got instantly filled with anger. She glared at him with hatred and sneered. "Master, master! Just who's your damned master?!"
"The princess of Vanne Kingdom." Zion coldly replied. To be honest, he didn't want to use an intimidating tone on this girl. But this was the best way to force any girl to let go of any romantic thoughts for you. They'd instead started to have fear deeply ingrained in their hearts. He had used this technique many times previously, and now, even though he knew that he might not succeed because of his human's status, he still wanted to alienate this woman so that he could focus solely on the girl.
He was ready to unleash his cold and icy mode when he saw Martijn clapsing his hands against his mouth as the dhampir soldier chuckled nervously and said, "What this person meant was that, even though he can't accept you, he can still go out inna dates with you!"
Zion turned to look at Martin in utter shock. He could?! How did he not? He still wanted to go out on a date with someone?! His expression instantly turned into anger. He didn't want to go on a date okay?!
He took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. To be honest, he could tell why the heck did this man force him into this kind of strange situation. Martin probably wanted him to gather more info through the dwarf lady since her voice matched with that of the person they heard in that dark room.
But Zion didn't want to compromise himself at all! He almost felt like he had become an animal who was sent to be butchered. But he still complied with Martin since this was really a shortcut to finding out more clues.
But when he looked at the young lady and compared her with the voice he had heard, he frowned. He didn't know why he was feeling something amiss in this entire situation.
But before he could think more on this topic, the lady grabbed his palms and started dragging him inside the theatre. Then with a grin on her face, she said, "Then I'll be off for the evening! Don't disturb me tonight!"
Everyone was dumbfounded after seeng this scene.
