Note: This would be completed here on Wattpad but if you want to read ahead, advanced chapters are on Inkitt. 26 Chapters are already in there as of today. I'm updating ahead there but sorry for the slow updates still. Life is busier than ever. Haha.

There's a webpage and an app for Inkitt as well. Links are on my website at http://alyssaurbano.com/htbaq

CHAPTER 15 - TWO STEPS BACK

The Courtyard

Hades' Palace

The Underworld

-Hades-

The castle was a bustle of activity today as servants darted everywhere.

There was anticipation in the air and also that fear and restlessness. Today, I've asked the servants to do something they've never done: make me blend in with the mortals and prepare my queen for school. They accepted the challenge for they are excellent in everything they do. However, since time stretches endlessly for us and mortal trends come and go, it's hard to catch up to them.

"Are you sure about this?" I asked Leandro as I looked at what I was wearing. I wore some sort of blue-colored pants that was too tight everywhere, and a black shirt with short sleeves. Instead of boots, I wore shoes made of rubber.

I eyed everything with distaste. Except the shoes. They were actually comfortable.

"I am absolutely sure, my Lord. This is what the mortals wear for normal daily activities. I researched it and consulted with the shades of the newest fashion designers," Leandro replied. I stretched my leg and the material pulled at my groin.

"Perhaps this is the wrong size," I commented, wincing.

Leandro shook his head. "Everything they wear now is either too tight or shows too much skin," he answered.

I sighed. "What about transportation?" I inquired.

Leandro smiled. "Ah yes, this is the best they have," he said. He telepathically sent me an image of a sleek black car with gorgeous leather seats. Now this is something made by mortals that I definitely like. It was a far cry from the chariots of old and it looked really magnificent. Looking at Leandro, he approved as well.

"It is called a Lamborghini Aventador, my king," he told me.

"This will do," I replied. I can't wait to show my queen and see her face light up with excitement.

"I will return shortly and we can go to retrieve her things. I want them in her room before she gets back at the end of the day."

Leandro acknowledged my order with a little bow. "Yes, my king. I will have the other shades ready and waiting for your arrival.

"Thank you. That is all. Fetch the queen," I told him.

"One more thing, your majesty," Leandro said, handing me a brown bag. "This is for your queen's lunch. Chef told me he made it extra special," he added.

"Send him my thanks," I answered. He bowed and then disappeared.

I do hope she will like it. I want her life here to be comfortable and want her to see all the positive points of being a queen. A few minutes later, I heard footsteps. Before I turned around to see who it was, I knew immediately it was her.

We were like two magnets, always drawn towards each other.

"Good morning," she greeted, her eyes not meeting mine.
