I looked at him wide-eyed, I couldn't believe what I just heard, this coming from him I was taken aback just thinking about why he would say such a thing and what was he planning to do with me. I know it sounds so wrong but I am just as confused and surprised as you right now. My mind seemed to be spinning around and I didn't realize that I was stammering trying to ask him why would he want me over this ritual.
" u-uh my lord, why w-would y-you I mean-"
" hades, know your place in this hall. over the oath, he is under my authority here and you cannot just claim anyone you want anywhere or anytime you want. he's half mortal and I would suggest you wish for something else dear brother. " my lord sounded rageful now, he could barely control himself for not yelling while responding to him but I guess that wasn't under his control anymore. he stared at Vincent intensely, they both seemed to maintain a kind of tension between them.
" you know that you can't deny me this, don't you? " the red-haired male replied, his lips curled up into a grin and slight laughter left his divine lips as he mischievously looked at his older brother, pushing him over the cliff every minute as his words seemed to corner him into a no escape zone.
" don't draw your death closer to you than it is supposed to be, brother." his tone seemed more violent no, his voice seemed to be shaking from the anger that was coursing through him right now. Ii could feel a sense of fear wrap over my soul as his aura glowed bright re, meaning he was angry now. not just normally angry but that his wrath upon Vincent could wipe out the human race alive at the moment.
I turned to the side to look at my lord, my eyes gazing at him with worry , my hands found their way to his and our fingers interlocked in each other's embrace. well, guess, despite his rage about being cut loose, despite his infuriated state , he noticed my hands reaching over his to hold his own , he interlocked his hands with mine and seemed to feel better after feeling my comforting presence just beside him, supporting him no matter what. I smiled at him and he let off his alarming aura finally.
I noticed how the gods seated looked more conscious and alarmed, witnessing World War 3 which may infold before them anytime soon. hades were only making this all worse and if that's it then I can't let that happen. I moved closer to zeus and whispered to him, my voice seemed to change its tone on its own and softly spoke to him. As I faced him dangerously close to him, I could feel someone's eyes piercing through my soul, wanting to rip me apart. without even noticing who the person envying what I was doing, my abilities confirmed that it was none other than hades who was infuriated, his muscles tensed up and while reading his thought, I thought it would be best if didn't disclose it to you at all.
" my lord, it's alright with me. I will go with him, you don't have to lose your patience with me, yes? "I said, looking up at him, my soft expression seemed to do his work on him, it looked as if he just stopped breathing and all of his senses seemed to focus their energy on me, grasping every one of my movements.
after a minute, I pulled away not wanting to create any kind of gossip among the gods.
my lord, after it occurred to him that he had himself permitted me to let go and signed this oath as successful, his eyes widened and he looked at me, his eyes glinted with that same anger that he tried to hide with a tinge of playfulness. it was not the eyes that told me, but his thoughts. I pulled myself together and fixed my shirt before walking over to the god of the underworld and sighing.
" just, can we, well leave already? " I pleaded, avoiding his eyes. he tilted his head slightly and grabbed my jaw gently to make me face him and all he could notice was the look of annoyance and disgust spread across my blank face.
" not so very pleased to see me, mon cher ? " he chuckled, his voice sounding so heavenly even though he was the lord of hell, just a joke -- I must apologize for it. I have to hate him to avoid feeling the guilt but he just made it harder for me to loathe him.
I came back to the present and pushed him away harshly, maintaining the distancing between us both.
" stop fucking around, Vincent or should I say your highness?-"
the words escaped my lips unscathed, my tone sounding mocking and condescending a way.
" I haven't even started anything yet, anyway," he told me as he pulled me closer by my waist, so close that I could feel his breath brushing against my skin, the closure sent me through the 7 gates of heaven. I was glad to find us in the hallway,y, not the assembly hall, I let out a sigh of relief realizing how fortunate I was, not to be caught with him in front of my lord.
" do what, Vincent ?" I questioned him.
" what's rightfully mine to claim."
