"Because of little red spending the entire with Gideon – ugh!"
A sharp and strong hit landed right in the middle of Azrael's abdomen. "I told you to shut up!" Kione's eyes had become so intense, but Azrael only chuckled in response.
"Incredible." The huge man clapped his hands as if he was amused. "I can't believe I'd be seeing the day I can finally piss off your poker face to this extent. But whaddya know… it finally came!"
And Kione hit him again, this time even using his feet to kick his friend who still looked like he was enjoying Kione's pissed off face.
"Haha. This is fun, Lord Kione. The table finally turned on you. Do you still remember how much you annoyed and pissed me off since we were young? Back then, no matter what, I couldn't find a single thing that could make you lose your cool. Ahh… Payback's a bitch, ain't it, Kione?" Azrael guffawed before dodging another sharp punch from Kione.
"Now, now, you don't have to be so violent like this, my dear friend. But… Oh well, I can't blame you for feeling so antsy like this. It must be hard to fall in love with a – ugh! Come on man!! That's too strong!" Azrael complained as Kione landed another hard blow into his abdomen.
"Ahem!!!" a loud sound echoed out behind them and the two lords fighting like two teenagers pissing each other off finally halted. The man who cleared his throat was none other than Claudius, whose face was looking a little embarrassed at their antics. It seems as though all the guests had arrived and had been standing right before them now, watching the two lords going at each other.
"Lord Kione and Lord Azrael," Claudius called out their names, "Please behave yourselves. I believe it's very improper for you two to show this type of behaviour to the guests like this, and in front of the prince too!" Claudius chided, glaring at them to give warnings to behave.
Abruptly, the two men straightened and bowed their heads to Gavriel.
"Forgive our insolence, Your Highness." They said in unison and when they lifted their faces, they smiled. "It's really been a long time. You certainly look more matured now, Prince Gavrael."
Azrael and Kione expected a sarcastic and cold response from the devil sprout but to their surprise, the prince simply nodded at them, acknowledging them with the proper grace before allowing his gaze to drift to the gate behind them. They glanced at each other with brows lifted. This was definitely not the same devil sprout they remembered from their past.
Then all of a sudden, he leapt towards the gate. Everyone followed him and he landed at the very top of the gate.
They also saw something bright descending towards the prince. He spread his arms wide, and the bright glowing butterfly crashed into his embrace. The light fae queen, Queen Evielyn, had flown over to welcome her husband's arrival.
Everyone watching below could only look at the spectacular scene unfolding before their very eyes. The prince even spun her around before kissing her hard on the lips. That caused all the men below to look away and cleared their throats.
"I'm speechless," Azrael commented again, "never would I have imagined that the devil sprout to grow up to be this sweet and romantic. Damn!" his eyes bugged out as he witnessed that sugary sweet scene between Evie and Gav.
As the men below decided to turn their attentions to something else, Evie and Gav were still kissing at the top of the gate, ignoring everyone else for the sake of their other half.
When their lips finally parted, Gav held Evie's face, pressing his forehead against hers. "Good Lord, Evie… I finally get to see you again! Are you alright? You aren't feeling sick or unwell anywhere, right?" Gavriel's voice was breathless, his fingers shaking a little as it traced her brows, cheeks and lips over and over as though he could not believe she was finally in his arms. "I've missed you so much, damn it."
"I'm fine, Gav. Didn't I send you a letter telling you that I am alright? Zanya and Leon had reached you, right? I missed you too… so, so much." Evie murmured, smiling at him with tears in her eyes. She was finally in his arms again. Oh, how much she had missed his warmth and those strong arms being wrapped around her!
"How about our angel here?" he knelt on one knee before her, looking up at Evie and she smiled wide.
"Everything's good. I've just been inside the castle the entire time, waiting for you to arrive. So there's nothing to worry about." She reassured him and Gavriel finally took in his first deep breath of relief before he moved his face and kissed Evie's stomach as gently as he could.
"I'm so glad." He finally smiled and rose again before he hugged her, as tight as he could but avoiding pressing on her stomach. He planted kisses on her head and Evie just revelled in his arms, his strong heavenly arms that gives her everything that she needed and wanted.
"Gav…" she spoke after a while, "how did you managed to enter the Under Lands… wait, don't answer that yet." Pulling away from him, Evie's eyes gleamed with excitement again. "You need to see and meet someone else, first and foremost."
"Someone else ..."
Evie grabbed his hand and pulled on it as she looked like she was almost jumping with excitement.
"Come,
let's go back to the castle this instant!"
