Kidrith immediately froze up but she realized she have no time to be shocked. She spun around and desperately warned Joren by waving her hands in a panic.

The latter nodded and rushed to the closet and closed it.

'Isn't it better if I don't hide and just tell the truth?' Joren thought but he was brought along by Kidrith's panic that he ended up there.

When he was going to suggest what he thought they should better do, Kidrith have already rushed to the door and welcomed Hades.

Joren felt lucky for being so slow to react. Through the gaps, he then watched and controlled his breathing so that no sound comes out.

"Good evening, My Lord, what brought you here?"

Kidrith acted as the head maid and the only difference is that she's in her nightdress. On that note, she felt a stare from her head to toes.

'Something's different today with the Lord…' her heart began beating from anxiety. She was thinking about the worst things that can happen.

Closing the door, Hades sat on the chair that Kidrith pulled while she kneel on the floor. A servant like her couldn't possibly sit on the same level as their Lord.

"You've prepared these cups of tea ahead of time?" Hades asked in amazement before his eyes became that of suspicions, "Hm? But why did you prepare two cups if you're going to sit on the floor?"

Kidrith then replied with missing a beat.

"I have to show respect to the Lord and the tea. I couldn't possibly put the cup of tea on the floor as it would be a disgrace as the head of the servants in My Lord's Palace. Therefore, I'd rather not drink the tea for the sake of respecting both it and My Lord."

Hades nodded in satisfaction before he realized.

'Wait, shouldn't it be disrespectful for the tea not to be consumed as well?' but he just shrugged his shoulders, thinking it's a maid-thing he wouldn't be able to understand, thus, he took a sip on the tea.

Thud*

"Huh?"

A sound came from the closet and Hades was about to turn his head around when Kidrith slammed her head on the floor.

Thud*

"Hm?" Hades was surprised by her actions before thinking, 'Oh, I thought the sound came from the back so Kidrith was just slamming her head on the floor. It seemed like both my hearing and vision is getting rusty. But…'

"Why are you slamming your head on the floor?"

"It's showing respect, My Lord."

"I… I see."

Kidrith slammed her head onto the floor a few times before stopping with a graceful expression. But, inwardly, she was growling.

'Joren, what are you doing there!? Stay quiet!'

Meanwhile, Joren almost foamed out of his mouth when Hades took a sip on his cup.

'My first indirect kiss!!!' he acts like a maiden.

"Hm, this tea is especially delightful. I wonder what ingredient you added?"

Thudthudthudthud*

Hades's mouth slightly opened in confusion.

"What… are you doing?"

"Giving respect to My Lord's praise." Kidrith spoke with her gentle voice while her upper half seemed likely to be possessed by a demon as she rapidly go up and down, slamming her head on the floor.

Thudthudthud*

"Well, you can stop now…"

"As your wishes, My Lord." Kidrith stopped while a slight bump on her forehead formed, 'Joren!!!'

Meanwhile, inside the closet, white foams were oozing out of Joren's mouth.

'That Hades… called my saliva… delicious…'

"Kidrith, do you know about the restriction that your almighty mother placed on the palace when she brought the Furies and the inferiors here?" Hades then spoke his agenda.

To this, Kidrith's eyes turned serious.

"No, I haven't, My Lord."

"Well, let me tell you. Different from humans that constantly come here in the underworld, the Gods and the Primordial Beings are not restrained by their blood. Let's just say, family matters created the world as we know it today. However, that results in unfaithfulness and heartbreak. When the father of my father died, you, the Furies were born."

Both Kidrith and Joren listened closely as they don't know what Hades was pointing out, especially Kidrith as this was the first time in centuries her Lord had visited her room, and late at night on top of that.

"Nyx, the Goddess of the Night, took you all in but you were just a little sprite, a drop of blood forming into who you are as a child, so you probably don't remember her. You opened your eyes here before you know it. Nyx has given you all to me, in exchange, I have to take care of the three sisters."

Joren's face twitched.

'He's saying that in front of the person herself…'

"As for the restriction that Nyx has placed; no men are to touch any of the Furies. That's an iron rule even I cannot break. However, I have long asked myself; are the inferiors part of that restriction?"

Both Kidrith and Joren's hearts dropped as they realized why Hades is here. This also explains his weird reaction earlier.

'Wait, but it's just an accident, I didn't actually touch Kidrith…!' Joren frowned, 'Which is unfortunate.'

"But now, I know the answer." Hades nodded, making Kidrith's face go pale, "Coincidentally, I have to punish the maid who gave herself to my guest without my permission."

"My Lord, it was-"

"Did I tell you to speak?!"

Hades raised his voice. Before he continued, "Surrounded by so many women but couldn't do anything about them. I don't go outside as my absence may cause laws to be broken in the Palace. So for millennia after millennia, I could only stay here with one woman while my brother has already spread his seed all over the world?" he sighed.

Joren clenched his fist, 'I'm jealous!'

"Therefore, Kidrith, to redeem yourself, you will not tell anything to anyone what will happen in this room from now on. Do you understand?"

Hades then crouched down in front of Kidrith. Her eyes stayed on the ground as she nodded. He then wrapped his hand on her neck before Kidrith could feel pressure from his grip.

"Argh…"

"For you to offer yourself to my guest before your own Lord, you deserve to die." a murderous glint appeared in Hades' eyes.

Meanwhile, Megaera knocked on Joren's room. She couldn't sleep, thinking about what Joren just did so she wants to make things clear.

"What are you doing here, again?"

She then heard someone ask her from behind.

Back to Kidrith's room, Hades raised his other hand and slapped Kidrith's face as she expressed difficulties in breathing.

Pak*

After releasing some of his anger, the murderous glint turned into a lustful one.

"I didn't know what's the extent of 'touch' and 'Furies' when your mother placed the restriction. So, how far did you go with that lesser undead? Should I call him here to let him see how to do it better?"

His hand then traveled to Kidrith's nightdress as Hades' usual frown have turned to a slight smile.

"Another woman's skin… I still love Persephone but… is it my fault I've long got tired of her body?"

While Hades was taking it slow as this was a very special moment for him, he heard Kidrith mutter.

"No…"

Hades stopped and his smile turned back to a frown.

"Are you telling me no?" anger was forming within him again, "So, I really have been too lax-"

"What? Don't, please…" Kidrith said again which made Hades snap.

He raised his other hand and was about to slap Kidrith harder this time when Hades felt a hand held his wrist.

"I'm the one whom she's looking" Hades turned his head around as he hear a familiar man's voice, "and telling not to land this fist on your deaf-ass face!"

"Joren!? Why are you here and why are your pants-!?"

BAM*

Kidrith's eyes almost rolled out of their sockets when Hades' roar was interrupted when Joren slammed his fist into the Lord of the Underworld's face, making him kiss the floor!

"Get out of my way!"

Joren then kicked Hades' body out of the way as he put his pants up, letting the Lord stumble and hit the table.

'That's it, I finally get this strange feeling.' Joren thought to himself. The reason why he didn't like to hear that Kidrith and the others are Hades' possession was… he wants them for himself!

'I was really not a good guy from the start, huh?' Joren scoffed at himself before calling out to Kidrith.

"If I'm your owner, I wouldn't be as shitty as this sorry excuse of a Lord!"

Joren pointed at Hades who was staring at the empty space. Hearing his words, Hades finally snapped out of his daze.

"Haha… a mortal actually landed a hit and an insult on me… my guard couldn't be any lower than that." Hades stood up as he looked at Joren as if he's dead meat already.

"What? Want me to land another hit?" Joren raised his fist.

Nerves popped out of Hades' face as his blood boiled. The room then sunk into unfathomable ghoulish energy.

"Try it, mortal!"
