"If anyone dares to bare their fangs at you, remind them your master specialises in dental extractions."

Her gaze shifted from the darkening skies to Hadeon's reflection on the window, noting the stark difference in his demeanour from when they left the castle. It reminded her of the first time she had seen him from above the scaffold. He looked eerily calm, with the breeze swaying the locks of his hair, which were softer than hers! Was it the blood?

"I believe that's quite sufficient," Hadeon's voice sliced through the air as Mallory poured soap flakes from a jar into the bath. "Are you deliberately emptying the entire jar to provoke a reaction from me, or is it simply because you've mistaken this for a laundry time?" His eyes slightly narrowed as he stared at her.

"If it were normal, I would personally take you to church and have you rid of your sins," Hadeon stated in a nonchalant tone. "But as your master, you know there are always exceptions to the rules." He paused for a moment before adding, "And there's no need to worry about underperforming and dying by my hands. I am a tolerant man."

Her breath was caught in her throat when he removed his shirt, unveiling the sculpted contours of his broad shoulders and well-defined muscles, where his upper body tapered into his trousers. His arms were toned, and inked, but one moment it was there, then it was gone. With his golden eyes staring at her like a hawk and his hair spread on his shoulders, the man ozzed raw masculinity.

Hadeon chuckled, a mischievous glint dancing in his eyes. "Ah, my loyal servant, always ready with a compliment," he remarked, his voice smooth as velvet. "If I didn't know better, I'd think you were tempted to hurl that book at me," he continued, his golden gaze locking onto hers. "Hm?" He hummed teasingly.

"AHHHHHH!!!!" Hadeon screamed along with George, his eyes wide with mock horror, and it scared the human next to him. He then exclaimed, "You scared me! Thought there was a monster in the bushes. Don't do that! My heart is too delicate for such shocks," he scolded, placing his hand on his chest.

"Well, what are you waiting for?" Hadeon whispered in a menancing voice that dropped the room's temperature, and he picked up the hammer in his hand. "Run, human."

Hadeon's lips twisted into a sinister smile, "Then, it seems we must pay a visit to dear little Georgie."

Mallory saw Hadeon throw the crumpled poster behind, which perfectly fell into a nearby trash bin. She quickly followed him while hiding her face. Her voice wavered, "Why do you want to meet him?"

"You know," Hadeon remarked in a nonchalant tone, "at first, I was annoyed. But then I decided to be generous and let you have a head start to finish your day out. So I did some shopping, some drinking, and then some more shopping. Managed a little nap too with a little extra activity."

"Did you enjoy your little day out?" Hadeon drawled, his voice dripping with sarcasm. His eyes glinted ominously against the backdrop of the evening sky. His voice then changed to a dramatic one, "I was heartbroken when I saw you had left without a word and even shed a tear. I mean, we spent such good moments sharing our love for the ground. You know, you digging and me burying people. You wound me."

"They wish," Hadeon rolled his eyes. He continued in a nonchalant tone, "It was a quiet night, and innocent me was sleeping in bed after a modest supper of killing a few people. I was suddenly woken up by the commotion outside the castle, with torches ablaze. Honestly, the nerve. So I had to put them to rest so I could go back to my sleep."

The immortal being then remarked, "My name is Hadeon Van Doren, and to some, I am known simply as Hades. And to you it would be Master Hades."

A chuckle escaped from him. He mused, "Titles are merely human constructs, little more than fancy labels for the living. My status," he paused, "exists in realms far beyond such mundane concerns."

Hadeon gleamed with mischief, remarking, "Oh, don't worry about him disturbing you. He knows better than to wiggle—even a twitch might inspire me to join the game with a knife of my own. Don't you, Georgie?"
