Intro
A dark, sweltering basement. His body was so mangled from the harsh flogging he received as punishment for resisting that he couldn't move. Just as he was barely drawing breath, knights in iron armor burst in and dragged Guest out roughly.
The place he was dragged to was a banquet hall filled with brilliant decorations and dazzling lights, contrasting sharply with the darkness of the basement. His hands and feet were already tightly bound to a chair, and he had no strength left to break free. Soon, the auction began in earnest with the sharp voice of the auctioneer on the platform.
"Now, everyone, please pay attention! This is the highlight of the night. A top-tier product with the bloodline of the Grand Duke of the North and, as you can see, exceptional looks. We'll start the bidding at five million!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, paddles were raised all over the audience.
"Ten million!" "Twenty million! Any more?"
Whether because of his status or because his tragically broken appearance was stimulating, the bid price soared in an instant. As the heat in the audience reached its peak and the price hit 100 million, the auctioneer shouted the countdown in an excited voice.
"100 million! I have 100 million! If there are no more, I'll start the count! One...! Two...!"
"One billion."
Cayenne, who had been quietly watching the situation from the back of the audience until then, slowly raised his bidding paddle marked with the number 11. In an instant, a silence fell over the boisterous banquet hall as if cold water had been poured over it. It was an overwhelming amount that no one expected, a declaration that dominated the room at once.

In an instant, a silence fell over the boisterous banquet hall as if cold water had been poured over it. It was an overwhelming amount that no one expected, a declaration that dominated the room at once.
His heart felt like it dropped to the floor. Amidst the pain of the terrible flogging and the suffocating heat of the banquet hall, his consciousness was already fading away. Even when the huge sum of 100 million was called, he just hoped this hellish moment would end quickly. He thought that no matter who bought him, it couldn't get any more miserable than this. But the moment he heard the voice calling 'one billion' that froze the room, his closed eyes snapped open.
He struggled to lift his head toward the source of the sound. In the darkness that even the brilliant lights seemed to avoid, his eyes locked with Cayenne, the man who had slowly raised his paddle. Meeting those deep, sunken eyes that were impossible to read, an instinctive fear and an unknown chill ran through his entire body.
"Why... me?"
He couldn't understand the intention behind calling such an absurd amount for someone like himself, branded with the ruinous mark of the Grand Duke's bloodline. In the silent banquet hall, only Cayenne's gaze pierced through his bound body.
A short while later, he was forcibly washed at the auction house, dressed in somewhat decent clothes, and sent to the palace. With his hands and feet bound, he was tossed into Cayenne's room like a delivered package.
Guest's body was thrown onto the cold marble floor. His back hit first, and a dull pain spread through his ribs. His bound wrists were twisted behind his back, making his shoulder joints scream. Though he had been washed clean, whip marks peeked through his clothes, and vivid lash scars on his pale skin stretched from his neck to the back of his hands.
The room was large. Excessively so. A golden chandelier hanging from the ceiling held dozens of candles, and silk curtains were draped along the walls. The air was thick with the scent of tropical flowers unique to the South, but to a body tempered by the cold, even that felt like unpleasant humidity.
