Chapter 342 - 342

There was always something. Some kind of event that had Ea always preparing a suitcase. There was always a thought at the back of his mind whenever they returned home telling him not to settle because he would be running out of here soon again. 

As far as he was concerned this thought had always been right. It hadn't been that long since they returned from those wicked witches and that letter arrived. The small elf didn't have to read it, seeing the sender was enough on the corner of the red envelope to know that they would have to leave soon. That was why he was already packing. He had opened up his suitcase and was carefully choosing his clothes for the demonic capital. The room as a result had turned into a small mess and Ares noticed it the moment he stepped in. 

His red eyes scanned the place with a faint frown as he was trying to think what could possibly cause this ruckus. 

"Are we going on our honeymoon?" He asked him teasingly. 

"If you consider going to a place with rivers of blood to meet our worst enemy a honeymoon then yes. We are." Ea answered him while folding a few pairs of pants and placing them neatly inside the suitcase. Ares' eyes widened, realizing that the next stop of their journey would be the Demonic Capital.

"I am banned there you know." He told him and Ea shrugged his shoulders. 

"Then get unbanned. There is no way I will be leaving our king to go alone in there." He said as he closed the finally full suitcase. Some clothes were protrudict from the safety pins and he tried with a small groan to push them back before he jumped up and sat on it. 

"Ea he won't be alone. Theseus will be with him and Amsodeus, Mark too. He has three familiars now, he is the demon's natural enemy." He said 

"I thought the angels were their natural enemy." Ea said as he got the suitcase closed.

"Them too. I think we should skip this one. The Demonic Capital is creepy and I have a bad feeling."

"That's exactly why we should go. If you have a bad feeling about it how can you leave your brother like that? Also remember they are kidnapping hhuman children. While they keep Achlys busy we can go and investigate that." Ea proposed. Ares didn't seem pleased with his ideas. He had a very concerned expression on his face as he listened to his husband talk. Ares walked around the room, quiet with his hands behind behind his back as he kept thinking. Usually he didn't act like this so Ea couldn't help but feel curious. "Is there something wrong, it's actually rads for you to think" he told him, half joking and Ares smiled. 

"Well, on that you're right but now I have to think a lot more than before." He said and Ea cocked an eyebrow.

"Why is that?" He asked him.

"Because now I have to protect you. I can't be reckless and do whatever I want. There is someone I want to return home to." Ares said with a kind smile. His eyes were looking right into Ea's as he revealed to him that everything he did, his worries, his unusual thinking all came from the fact that he wanted to keep being with him. Dying was never scary, the thrill of the adventure was all that got him going but now, now that when he returned to his room Ea would be there, smiling he couldn't risk himself dying.

"What you're saying is very sweet. But we have to do everything on our power to protect our king and our Kingdom. I know how great your sense of justice is. That's one of the things I love about you. So let's go." Ea urged him. He was standing right in front of him, his palms placed on his chest as he raised his head to look at him. In Ares' eyes he was so beautiful, delicate and he could never risk taking him to a place like this. Ea though was thinking otherwise. 

"There is something else." The Disee prince said with an awkward smile and Ea squeezed his eyes, examining him.

"So now we're going to the true reason why you don't want to go there!" Ea exclaimed and took a step back. "Spill it. You said all these romantic things to make me think you wanted to protect me to hide the real truth." He claimed and pointed his index finger at him. Ares smiled and scratched the back of his head as he found himself cornered and pressured to speak. 

"Well you see. Back in the day, this whole thing about cheating..."

"The cheating you said you never did?" Ea asked raising his eyebrow. He had crossed his arms over his chest and was looking at his husband strictly. 

"Yes, about that we...we were not really a couple back then were we? And ..."

"Just spill it don't stall you're making it worse elf boy." Ea said.

"Okay. So back then I went to the demonic capital and I met a demon. He was hot okay? He was also rich so we kinda slept together but I didn't know he was an actual psycho. He became obsessed with me and wouldn't let me leave. He saw me as some kind of exotic specimen and I had to run away like a prisoner. That's why I don't want to go back there. What if he's here?" Ares said. This whole sentence was let out by one breath. He kept talking fast hoping that Ea would miss enough details to not get furiously mad. Unfortunately the small elf had heard and understood aeverything very clearly. 

"What's his name?" Ea asked as he tapped his foot on the floor. "Tell me the name."

"Vines." He said and Ea's eyes widened. He turned his back on him and rubbed his forehead. He sighed as he moved to the wooded pillar of the bed and started hitting his forehead on it. "Ea, Ea are you alright? Come on now, let's not do this stop hitting your head I feel bad." Ares whined. The moment the prince finished his sentence Ea stopped. He turned around and looked at his husband, his eyes wide, his hands forming fists .

"Let's overlook the fact that you did cheat on me. Let's, let's just not think about it for now. You have to do it with a Demon Prince? One of the kings of hell?!" Ea shouted. "And a psycho at that? Seriously Ares you need to buy a freaking book and learn some history because you, yes you have gotten yourself in deep shit. Hope that he won't be there because I for sure am going to the Demonic Capital to help Allias. There is no way I will be sitting back at home just because my own husband couldn't keep his dick in his pants! Understood?" The small elf screamed making Ares flinch. A lump had formed in his throat and all he could do was nod. Ea seemed very upset at the moment and he knew he wouldn't be in his right mind if he tried to argue. "You will come to the demonic capital. Am I clear?" He asked him.

"Yes, yes I will come. No need to worry. I will just pretend I don't know him if he's here, everything is fine." He said, finally accepting the fact that he had to go there. 

"Now, let's talk about that thing we overlooked before....you cheated on me!" He screamed, his face bright red as he looked at the young elf. "You dare to say all this romantic things about needing to protect me while in reality you wanted to hide the fact that you were fucking a demon? You....you....you have five seconds to run away before I stab you to death with my daggers" he shouted and in his hands a set of daggers appeared. Ares' eyes widened as he looked at the dangerous tools. 

"Come on now, you're not serious, are you?" Ares asked him taking a step back, he had his hands in the air in a defensive stance as he found himself cornered in the nearest wall.

"Five...four...three..."

"I'm sorry!" Ares shouted and he started to run away. He went towards the door opening it messily and stepped outside gaining a lot of weird gazes by the staff. He kept running, soon ojt of breath. He took a small stop, supporting himself on his knees as he panted and with his keen hearing he heard Ea. He was close! The next thing he saw was a dagger flying exactly right next to his left ear. A little bit closer and it would have cut him. Ares looked back meeting with a furious elf that was actually after him and resumed his running. "Come on now Ea please" ares begged.

"Shut up and come here! I will kill you you won't have to even meet your fuck buddy that way." Ea shouted , making sure he was heard throught the whole castle.
