"Pretty things?" Lance asked when Denovan explained the situation "No wonder only beautiful people can be seen here, but a love show? Isn't that too much?" he said as his nose scrunched up from the image.
"I know. Even though I'm a commoner who needs money I wouldn't sell myself in a love show where I'll be molested by men." Ivan said with a scowl.
"The Young Master will enter" all of them became alert when the guard announced it from outside as the metal doors opened to see a young man with a grin.
"Do you know which family is he from?" Ivan asked Denovan who was beside him "Those freckles...he must be Miller Terain from the Terain Family, his family status is a baron." Denovan said as Ivan can't help but grin.
"Oh, my. A mere baron's son dares to kidnap the Empire's star and moon? It seems like he wants an execution." Ivan said as he was delighted by this.
Someone suddenly entered the room as the man looked at all of them as if they were objects on displaying for him to choose from.
Miller looked at the men inside the room with a smirk "I'm impressed you got beautiful ones this time especially.." his eyes landed on Ignis who was staring at him with pure irritation.
"Who do we have here?" he walked towards Ignis who was for sure the wrong target he could notice.
Miller was mesmerized by his face especially the eyes "You are such a beautiful man, much prettier than a woman and this hair color..." he said, breathless and caressing his hair.
When the others saw this, rather than laughing at the embarrassment, they can't help but feel uneasy.
Especially Ivan who would rather laugh at Ignis's displeasure, he was pissed at how crazy the bastard was in front of him.
"You must be related to the Imperial Family. You must be an illegitimate child of that bastard of an Emperor. I guess I've hit the jackpot!" he said with a creepy smile.
'Just how did you come to that conclusion?' Ivan thought in disbelief from his stupidity.
"Young Master, there is another person who has the same color. It's a woman from the other room." Miller was delighted when he heard this.
"Quick! Bring her to me!" he commanded and turned back to Ignis who was glaring at him "Such a beautiful face" he said as Ignis clicked his tongue "Get your hands away from me" he said with gritted teeth.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
"Oh my. Aren't you a wild fella?" he said and what they didn't expect was when he slapped Ignis in the face.

Callista's breathing suddenly hitched as she felt the pain vibrate across her body as the metal doors open.
"The Young Master said to bring the girl with white hair!" a guard said that made Anastasia's eyes widen and glanced at Callista in panic who was sitting on the cold floor while looking down.
"Let go of me!" she shouted when one of the men touched her arm "Take that one too. Young Master will be overjoyed by this." he said and pointed at Callista who was silently in a daze.
"No! Callista!" she shouted her name when one of the men went near her before Anastasia turned to the man holding her "Let go of me! Let go!" she struggled in their hold as she was pulled to stand up.
"No! I said let go!" she shouted again and glared at the man "You..." Anastasia froze when she heard Callista's chilly voice. Anastasia turned to Callista and so did the other women in the room.
"...It seems you're looking for death" as those words rolled out her tongue was the same time the room temperature dropped.
Anastasia's mind became blank when Callista looked up at the guy, they could all feel the anger in her eyes but what Anastasia feared the most was how Callista's eyes turned bloody red.
Those were the same eyes she saw at the duel, those scary red eyes that shows her bloodthirst. Callista completely ignored the suffocating pain on her neck and took out her rage with Anastasia as the witness.
Back at the men's room, Ignis was pushed to the wall because of the man's attack as he wiped the blood on his lips.
Even how much he wants to use magic now, Anastasia had already told him many times not to use magic outside the Academy so he has no choice but to oblige as he also didn't want to destroy the whole place.
"You shouldn't disobey me, you hear?" Miller said as he maniacally laughed as Ignis stared at him. What he does know by his observation, something's wrong with what's happening.
A mere baron is smart enough not to threaten an Imperial Family member even if it is an illegitimate child as it is against the law of the Imperial Palace.
"What the.." Ivan muttered as he stared at Miller's body to see small traces of a shadow clinging into him that even he had a hard time noticing.
Miller was ready to throw a punch when the metal door suddenly flew open as it flew across the room and hit the wall at the other side.
Everyone froze at this unexpected scenario "You're seriously starting to piss me off" Callista was fuming and looked coldly at Miller who trembled back so were the men who were supposed to protect the Young Master were taken aback.
"I don't have time for all your bullshits" she said and opened her hand where a black sword started to appear as her red eyes stared directly into Miller.
"Denovan!" the three men turned to Anastasia who was at the door and catching her breath "I'm sorry it seems like she got too angry" she said anxiously.
"Leave, Lady Ana. We'll take care of this. The Emperor will be arriving soon so take them here" Denovan said as Anastasia hesitated "O-Okay" she nodded before turning her back to run.
"This is bad. Her emotions are controlling her magic." Ivan said as he looked at Callista killing anyone who comes in her way "Lance, please evacuate the people" Ivan said and turned to Lance who was hesitating.
"How about you? I can't just leave students in here" Lance said "Just leave! Aren't you part of the First Platoon? You're supposed to be helping people isn't that what you came here for!?" Ivan clicked his tongue making Lance hesitate more.
