Chapter 281 - 281

"So about the Chaos Sisters what do we know about them?" Allias asked Theseus. He was sitting on the bed, his legs crossed an apple on his arm. He had gotten suddenly hungry so he had called a maid to bring him food. Next to him he had a huge basket filled to the brim with fresh fruit. "Do you want one?" he asked Theseus and pointed at the fruit before he took his first bit of the apple, juice dripped from the corner of his lips and Theseus stared at him aggressively. 

"No. Do you really want to talk about the Chaos sisters or are you trying to seduce me?" He asked him and Allias raised his eyebrows confused. 

"What did I do?" he asked him innocently and bit into the apple again, the crunching sound echoing into Theseus' ears. He had been away from Allias too long, they hadn't been intimate in a while and now everything the king did seemed to have some kind of deeper, more sexual meaning. Theseus sighed, rubbing his temples. 

"Nothing, it's nothing." He said and the king shrugged his shoulders, returning to eating his apple. "About the Sisters. We know that they are thousands years old. Even though they were human they decided to leave beyond the Veil. They have been performing spells to live forever, necromancy which is illegal. That is one reason why they are living in our world. They are fugitives in the human world, many witch covens are after them since Necromancy is considered forbidden and evil. One of them is named Kalis while the other is called Silak. For the last hundreds of years, they have been living in the Valley of fear, behind the troll swamps." Theseus gave Allias a small report and the king nodded while he listened carefully the information. 

"So that means we will have to go to the troll swamp." Allias said with a frown. 

"I think we should pay them a visit anyways. I mean Hara is dead, they have appointed a new leader but we haven't sent anything or even bothered with the whole incident."

"Well, we were busy and we killed him so…" Allias said with a grin and Theseus shook his head. 

"We did, didn't we? And now Achlys has got it out for us. She is planning to invite us to the demonic capital. So by going there we will show that we have a good relationship with them, plus we will rest for our journey." Theseus suggested. Allias stopped munching on his apple. Right now he seemed to be thinking strongly. 

"Yes, but honestly I don't know if I could let for a minute Mark's bod there. We will have to hold a full operation."

"We could leave Asmodeus with Mark's body." Theseus said. 

"You're joking right?"

"Come on Allias. Didn't you see the guy? He looks like his whole world crumbled. I know what he did was terrible but who are we to judge? Just a few weeks ago you know, you cut a hole through my chest. I threw you off the balcony once. I think we should allow Mark decide what he wants or doesn't want to do. That's all what I am saying." 

"Alright then. I guess we can let him guard his body while we bother with the diplomatic stuff. I am already feeling an upcoming headache approaching. Those people stink." He said with afrown and fanned his nose making Theseus laugh. 

"We need to also think of a gift to send them."

"Air refresher, soap, shampoo, perfume…I have many ideas." The king mocked the trolls and Theseus grinned. 

"Let's hope you won't be having that attitude with them." He said and kissed him. Allias faked a smile and returned to eating his fruit. 

"We will see."

"Will we take the children with us?" 

"What kind of parents would we be if we went on a vacation without our cute little darlings." Allias joked and Theseus shook his head. 

Him and Allias had envisioned their lives many times in the past. They had imagined about how they would look, where they would live and what they would do. Living in a palace with two rebellious children and a preserved dead body while they tried to save the world was definitely not one of those dreams. But at the same time they could never say their life was boring. Theseus laughed, thinking how things change, how you can never know what's about to truly happen even if you plan out everything perfectly. 

"What's so funny general?" Allias asked, seeing the smile on the man's face. 

"Our lives Allias, they are a complete mess." He told him while laughing. Theseus' laughter was contagious and Allias even though he knew he should be sad with what he heard was now laughing too. It was indeed quite ridiculous. Everything. From the deceits, to the lies, every single moment had been utterly ridiculous. Who could know what the end would bring?

"They are ridiculous indeed my love. So are you ready to go off on a new adventure and make everything utterly worse?" He asked him. Theseus stared at his lover with a devilish grin before he winked at him. 

"I am ready when you are."

"Oh, honey. I have always been ready for some Chaos."

"Really?" Theseus asked with a raised eyebrow. 

"No, no not really. I just wanted to sound cool." The elf king said.  "I am scared, very." He said

"Yes, you do sound very cool right now my love. Incredibly so." Theseus teased him and Allias threw the stem of his apple at him. "So cool, throw more fruit at me." He kept going when Allias targeted him with his palm, his hand getting brighter. "No, no, no. You are cool. The coolest." Theseus said with his arms raised in the air in a defensive stance. "The best King."

"Good. Now go tell that idiot Demon that we will leave in the morning. Hurry!" He told him strictly and Theseus bowed playfully. 

"As you wish my king."
