Chapter 112 Stage Prop

--AN) Been out of it for the past few days. This should be back to a chapter a day daily now.--

"Who the fuck are you!?" Prince Alexandra heard the voice from above and frowned. He did not know which nobility this was, but he felt like he was losing a lot of face at this time. "You dare threaten me!?"

"I don't just dare. I will hold true to them as well." Vance walked out of the room and stood at the top of the stairs. "For some prince from some other kingdom to come here and act like you own the place, you really do not know how to wipe your own ass. Normally I would not bother with idiots like you, but you had to go calling my wife names like that. So...."

Vance jumped from the top of the staircase down to the floor below with his sword already drawn and against the prince's neck. "I can cut your head off here, and I can guarantee not a single person here will do anything about it." n-)0VELbIn

"You!" Prince Alexandra's face paled when he felt the cold metal suddenly being pressed against his neck. He did not know how to handle this situation. He had come here in secret without guards, so he was relying on his status alone to get him by. He never thought he would meet anyone who would dare threaten his life all because he said a few words!

"You what!? This is not a Chinese novel. I do not like speaking for hours on end with my enemies, so I will only give you three seconds to bow your head and apologize to my wife for the words you spoke just now, or I will cut your head out here and now. One...." Vance was not going to give this idiot any space to think. Either he apologized, or he lost his head. He had already killed NPCs before, so this was no issue for him at all. And as someone who had holy potions, he was not afraid of any kind of repercussions from the auction house.

The only thing that did worry him a little was the guardians that would attack any player that tried to harm an NPC. He was just hoping his NPC status was still in effect for this.

Prince Alexandra's face was pale as he heard Vance start counting without giving him any chance to say anything else. He felt a sharp pain in his neck as the blade began to break the skin. "I'm Sorry! I should not have said such disgusting words!"

His pride was nothing compared to his life. He would rather live without pride than be dead with it. Vance sneered as he pulled his sword back and said: "Remember, this is not your kingdom. Your mouth can mean your death. The woman you dared to speak ill about is not only my wife but the true princess of this kingdom. Just this alone is enough to cause our two kingdoms to go to war. But...."

Prince Alexandra was completely white in the face, but it slightly gained some color when he heard Vance say the word: But... But Vance's next words would make him pale once more. "While I can leave the head cutting thing out, I still need to kick your ass. Not only were you rude to my wife but also to the people of this auction house, so.... Clench your teeth."

*Bang!*

"Ah!" Prince Alexandra cried out as Vance beat him until he had exhausted his anger before beating him some more as punishment. Prince Alexandra was lying on the floor curled up into a ball, his face and exposed areas covered in black and blue while blood dripped from his swollen mouth and nose.

Vance did not let up until he was completely satisfied. Only then did he stop and stretch his arms. "Now then..." Since he had finished what he came down to do, Vance walked back up the stairs leaving everyone who witnessed the beating stupefied. The prince of the Kingdom of Grey Mountain was beaten to the point that his own mother would not recognize him! The young woman who was being harassed couldn't hide her shock. She was having such a hard time with this man, and now....

"Someone get a healer over here to heal the Prince.!" She had no choice but to quickly heal the idiot.

"Wait!" Sir Lanor called out as he made his way down the stairs. "Bring him to the auction hall. He will be used for one of the auctions."

"Ah? Sir, this is a princ...." the young woman did not get to finish her words because Sir Lanor raised his hand, stopping her from speaking. "Just do as I say." Sir Lanor did not care about anything else. After running into Vance on his way down here, he knew what had happened and was even given a holy potion to use on the prince to show people that these were indeed real!

He was wondering how he was going to prove this, and now he had a way to do it. It was not that he was afraid that things would end up not selling, but to sell something like a potion without visual proof, they would sell cheaper than those that are proven. He wanted to make as much money as possible off these potions.

Vance returned back to his VIP room while the prince was being carried off to the auction hall side door. Alice stood up to give him the seat back before sitting back on his lap. She had a sweet smile on her face since she knew Vance got mad for her. "Did you hit him good?"

"Of course! Why would I let that idiot off? Just wait, you will see. I was even able to use him as a stage prop." Vance grinned, but his words confused the others.

"A stage what?" Sally asked.

"A stage prop is like an item. He will be used to make our potions sell for more!" Vance answered. He couldn't wait to see if he could get a stack of potions to sell for five to six million gold! This would allow him and his family to get by for a long time.
