"Name," the guard beside the lady holding the guest list demanded.

"Hannah Raynott and Katrina Varldi," Hannah replied in a deep authoritative voice making both of them shudder a bit. Their eyes widened in surprise. I wouldn't be surprised if they had goosebumps too, I end up getting them. All the time!

It wasn't a secret about the power that radiated from Hannah was actually from her position as the head of a non-governmental army for the welfare of the nation. She had obtained permission from the government to own a small private army due to her​ status and achievements. It was more like the governments made ties with her to receive her support, after all, she was one of the most powerful people in the current world.

And all the new governments formed ties with the rich and powerful all around the world. So it wasn't surprising that Hannah was allowed to own an army.

She did send her army whenever the government requested it, but usually, she used her army to take out the war victims from the middle of the battlefield and get them medical attention. Still, the fact of her owning an army is enough to intimidate people.

"Please, do proceed," both the lady and the guard bowed a bit in respect. Nodding in reply, we walked into the elegant glass building. The theme of 'de Boza Dori was adopted.

'de Boza Dori was a famous post-war invention to celebrate the dark and mysterious anti-war spirit in the name of the war heroes. It was believed that 'de Boza family and Dori Garmin were the heroes due to their unique defending strategy and anti-war movements. To signify their hard work, artists of after-war republic nations invented the theme with the shades of bottle green, ash grey, and midnight black colored symbol of a flock of doves carrying a giant olive tree and hands shaking in the background.

Looking around, I found that everyone was wearing black to honor the theme except for the volunteers who were running errands to complete their dresses in the distance. I was surprised to see the volunteers dressed in the three shades as the original anti-war spirit anthropomorphism. Shaking my head, I walked beside Hannah to the Auction Hall. The hall was filled with a large number of tables covered with ash grey table cloth, arranged around a black circular stage. Green lights lit from the ground so that they could illuminate the grey and black walls. A huge green laser chandelier hung from the roof. The lights were dim as holograms of slowly rotating names blinked above the middle of every table.

"There!" Hannah pointed at a table to the left of the stage with our names.

"I'm glad that we don't have our table in the corner. Imagine how much it would suck having to see volunteers from the furthest distance!" Hannah sighed dramatically.

"You can still see them on the screens," I rolled my eyes.

"Looking at them on the screen isn't the same as seeing them directly. Imagine this, you look at a hot volunteer. He turns and locks his gaze with you. Your eyes met, your hearts beat and the 'thing' called love happens and after that, you will just have to take him before anyone else," she dreamily sighed before shrugging slightly.

"I think you used 'you' instead of 'I' by mistake," I air quoted 'you' and 'I' as I tried to hold back my laughter.

"Whatever darling, you got the message, right," she winked stating instead of asking. I smiled shaking my head as I followed her to our table. Other ladies were already settling at their tables. As soon as we settled down in our seats, the virtual screen installed before us, activated. I cast a look at Hannah who was already focused on her screen before looking back at mine.

WELCOME TO THE AUCTION MISS VARLDI.

Appeared on the screen as a greeting.

WE HAVE TEN HANDSOME, HOT, DYNAMIC, SMART GENTLEMEN READY TO LAY DOWN THEIR HEARTS AT YOUR FEET.

THE CAPTIVATING VOLUNTEERS ARE:

The screen went blank before a hologram of a handsome man appeared. His hair was silver as storm clouds with spikes falling all around his head, his nose was small and his lips were a thin line. His black eyes stared back. He was sort of intimidating but still super hot.

The face got zoomed out and his entire attire was visible. He was wearing grey jeans, a black shirt with green jacket. He was leanly built.

'TRENTON' was rotating below his figure.

The image disappeared and the next one popped up. It was another guy. He had a boyish look unlike Trenton but yeah, he was a looker.

His hair was dark as night, neatly styled in a windswept look. His blue eyes smiled innocently while his lips had twitched in a naughty crooked smile. He had olive skin and a dimple. The image zoomed out and a green button-up shirt with a black vest and black trousers were on his body.

'OLIVER' rotated below him.

Then the next guy appeared after a momentary blacking of the screen. He was bulky and well-built. He had a curved nose and smoking grey eyes with blond hair. The blond hair stood in spikes. He was giving an athletic vibe. The screen zoomed out and I found him wearing a grey tank top with a dress shirt tied around his waist. He was in a pair of black sweats.

'LUKE' blinked below him.

"Aren't they hot!" Hannah asked breathlessly.

"Yeah," I agreed looking at her, suddenly feeling the temperature going up. These guys were so good that it was hard to choose any one among them!

"Oh! Look at him!" Hannah squealed making me snap my eyes back to the screen.

A red-haired guy with freckles appeared. His eyes were hazel and had full lips. His hair was curly giving a boyish appearance to him. When the screen zoomed out, he was wearing a black turtle neck with green pants and a gray scarf around his neck.

The name 'ZAC' had displayed below his virtual image.

"Isn't he such a cute thing! He reminds me of teddies!" Hannah cooed.

"He sure does," I stated focusing back on the screen.

"Did you decide yet if you want to take someone..." She trailed off making me look at her.

"I don't know," I mumbled looking in the distance, "you?" I asked her.

"Still-" she cut herself off as she gasped loudly when she looked at the screen. I immediately returned my gaze to find a pair of green eyes looking at me. My heart skipped a beat and butterflies went wild in my abdomen. I lined all his features with my eyes. His nose was angular and his cheekbones were one of the prominent features. He had red full lips with a little natural pout in the lower lip. Chestnut brown hair rested like pieces of soft velvet above his forehead. His cream skin was kissed with a touch of glowing peach.

"Did you hear about any angel falling from heaven?" Hannah whispered in shock. Well, I was frozen in my seat just by looking at his hologram that I couldn't care to reply to anything at the moment.

The image zoomed out and he was wearing a green striped button-up shirt with an inner grey shirt peeping out along with black jeans.

'ANGELO' displayed below him.

"Well his name sure suits him well," Hannah commented.

His hologram disappeared and another guy appeared but I wanted to look at him some more. I tried to go back to Angelo but the screen was play-only and didn't take any commands.

I relaxed back neglecting the other volunteers as my mind was now occupied by a certain green-eyed guy.

"Your heart will tell you," Grandma's voice echoed in my ears.

Yes, my heart had told me. It chose me my prince charming, now I just had to get him before others could get their hands on him. Angelo, I will fight for you.
