Chapter 463 - 463

"I am going insane!" Theseus shouted as he roamed back and forth in Mark's bedroom at the inn. "I have been playing cool all this time. I have been doing the charming you know smile and all but Mark, listen to me I just want to…I just want to grab him and…."

"Fuck his brains out." The redhead said with a poker face, expressionless as he stared at the general. Theseus stopped in his tracks, meeting his eyes, slightly stunned, a tiny bit disturbed. 

"That too but no." He said. "Also please don't talk about fucking ever again in front fo me please."

"It's so obvious you have no friends." Mark commented and shook his head. 

"Hey!" Theseus said, wanting to think of something to argue that statement but he couldn't. Well, he didn't really have any close friends. Or more like friends he could talk about things like that. 

"Such a loser. Ts, ts, ts." The exorcist continued teasing him with an expressionless mask on, making the whole scene even more funny.

"Do you want to fucking die?" He asked him between gritted teeth. 

"If you touch our master there will be a problem" A voice was heard behind the man and he jumped up, startled. He turned around to face Ignis who had just appeared. 

"He is joking, it's okay." Mark told the spirit and he nodded, disappearing instantly after that. 

"I am not though." Theseus threatened him, crossing his hands over his chest and Mark smiled brightly. 

"Come on then. Kill me you bitch. Then you will have Asmodeus hunting you down and Allias hating you forever. I am waiting!" He said and opened his hands wide, exposing his chest. Stab me with your shadowy things. Right here, in the heart." he told him, hitting his chest and Theseus rolled his eyes. 

He took a step forward and grabbed his wrists, putting his hands down and staring him right into the eyes. 

"Don't challenge me okay? I did not get the word mad in my nickname without a reason." He said and Mark gulped, seeing how serious he looked. Nodding slightly. 

"Back to the Allias thing" he said while coughing, wanting to push the tension away. "What do you think? How does he feel?" he asked him. 

"He likes me." Theseus said, a silly smile on his face as he remembered Allias' expressions and reactions earlier at the river. "He likes me." he repeated in a dreamy tone and Mark sighed. At his pace they would have to stay there for another five years. He realized and stood up. He moved all the way to the other side of the wooden bed, getting to the simple nightstand and opening the first drawer. It didn't move easily, it seemed to be stuck for a second but while pulling hard, accompanying his try with a loud groan he managed to open it. He placed his hand inside and grabbed a piece of paper and an old pencil. Theseus asked him what he was doing but the red head didn't answer. He just kept scribbling on the paper, focused on what he was doing. 

"Arpaia!" he shouted and the gorgeous demon appeared. She literally fell from the ceiling, landing on Mark and hugging him, giving him a loud kiss on the cheek.

"Master! How long has it been since you called me?" she said, whining. "I missed you. I was so lonely." she told him and Mark shook his head, removing her thin hands away from him. She stood up, fixing her dress and her hair, waiting for his order. 

"You should be happy I am not in danger." he reminded her and she laughed.

"Oh, but a little danger can be fun. We will turn rusty, you know." She answered.

"Good. I am so glad you want to work because I have a job for you!" Mark said with a wide smile.

"Really? Who should I kill?" she asked him, excited. 

Mark grabbed the piece of paper that had fallen on the wooden floor of the room and folded it in two, stretching his arm and passing it to her. 

"What is this?" 

"That's a letter. Your job is to deliver this to Ares and Ea." he told her and she frowned, dissatisfied with her mission. "I can always send someone else and you can go to your realm" Mark threatened her. 

"No, no. I will be so quick. You will see." she said and disappeared. Mark chuckled. 

"So, why are you sending a message to my brother?" Theseus asked and the exorcist looked at him with a cunning expression. It was obvious that Mark was scheming something. He smiled brightly. 

"Well, I think that you will mess up so I decided to bring here someone who has it in his nature to stir the waters. I am sure Allias will be so shaken by him that he will remember, either he wants it or not. I have a boyfriend too you know, I need to see him some day. I can't be a part of this slow burn romance of yours. Speed things up!" he said as he clapped. 

"You didn't" Theseus mumbled with an awestruck look and Mark nodded eagerly. 

"Oh I did. I called Ares here." he said. 

"No! He will turn everything into a mess." Theseus whined. 

"Exactly!" Mark said with excitement. 

That night Theseus had laid on his bed with a headache. He didn't want to think how things would go if his brother visited here. Alex would literally want to run away, not come home if he met him. That guy never knew how to shut up. The general thought as he kept sighing. He had to do something, make Allias get closer to him before the devil himself arrived. It would be a thousand times more difficult then. 

"Gods, be good to me. Just this once and I swear I will visit you and even do offerings. Come on, you know me. I can be nice." he mumbled before he closed his eyes. 

Was there any point in praying?
