Snow's POV.

"Explain. Now." Vivian was glaring holes into me.

"We're inamors." I answered simply.

"What? Are you fucking with me Leslie?" Vivian looked at me,"Inamors are just a-"

I pulled out the book Alyssa had given me, squeezing Alexis' hand reassuringly.

"Page 72."

"Eye colour..." The four of them stared at Alexis' eyes, then at mine.

"..."

"Page 512."

"An inamorato wilt leaveth a marketh upon his lov'r's neck as a signeth of fidelity and eternally did bind of two souls during the sacr'd act between...What the hell is this? I can barely understa-Oh. There's a translated version below."

"A mark on his lover's neck..."

I nudged Alexis' shoulder and she pulled down her sweatshirt a little, revealing a marking of a white dove on her neck-Contrasting the black markings the gods had left.

"...Holy shit."

"I regret not bringing fireworks-OH MY GOD YOU TWO ARE SOULMATES!" Janet was screeching like a banshee,"I NEED TO INFORM THE WORL-"

"NO!" I stood up and put my hands together.

"Please. Can you keep this private. It's fine if Ashe and Nathaniel know but don't tell the press. Al wants to wait till we've dealt with this war thing first before anything and the temple is definitely going to make our lives difficult."

Alexis stood up and bowed almost 90 degrees.

"Y-your majesty!" Horivil nearly shouted-The most surprised I'd seen him react to something.

"Please keep this a secret for now. I-I don't want to make this public yet..."

"Hey hey hey-Please don't bow your majesty, it's really uncomfortable for us..." Vivian said.

"I'll stop once you say yes."

"Okay fine fine! I'll definitely keep it a secret...Though I'll hate every moment of it..."

"Thank you."

"Is her majesty just the cutest little thing?" Janet gushed to Eindart.

"Now if only you were that sincere, woman." Eindart snorted.

"HAAAAA? WHAT DID YOU JUST-" They started bickering like again-As usual.

"You have my word that none of this will leave my mouth, your majesty. But you-" Horivil glared at me,"To be unable to control yourself? Shameful, I ought to punish you."

"H-he had no control over himself Horivil! I-I don't blame him!"

"Hmph...Since her majesty doesn't want me to punish you...I'll let you off this time."

I breathed a sigh of relief internally-Horivil was notorious for his strict behaviour and training.

His army was the most disciplined out of all of ours with his strict regime and the most powerful.

"So when's the marriage?"

"Al wants to focus on this war first so I'll marry her on the day this war ends." I replied casually.

"Woah. You've totally turned into a sweet talker. I barely recognise yo-"

'Rinnng...'

"Cacophony speaking."

"What? You're serious? I'll tell them immediately."

"YOU TWO, SHADDAP!" Vivian shouted at Janet and Eindart,"I HAVE NEWS!"

"What happened?" Al inquired curiously, having never seen Vivian this riled up before.

"Get this-THE HUMANS ARE SURRENDERING!"

"Your jokes are getting progressively worse with age." Eindart commented.

"IT ISN'T A JOKE THEY'RE SENDING THEIR ENVOYS OVER!"

"...Does this mean?"

"Get the fucking champagne out! We're celebrating!" Vivan shouted at me with glee,"Call the two back! They deserve a break!"

———

Antonio's POV.

Earth.

"How I've missed you." I held my sword,"It's just that some people are messing up the view."

"Antonio Giovanni." I chuckled as I heard it call out my name.

"You know me?"

"Who doesn't? That scoundrel that broke her majesty's heart."

My smile faded instantaneously,"Oi. You're asking a death wish."

"What's a little boy going to do to stand to us two?" The other piece of shit chimed in.

"Lyssa." I whispered under my breath,"I'll play your game."

BOOM!

Black tendrils exploded from the ground, a mist forming on my sword as I dashed forward.

"Apollo!" The first one shot up into the sky, his hair turning to flames which burned away the tendrils.

"Helios!" A sun that radiated with heat formed behind the second one's back.

"Well aren't you two just bags of sunshine." I cracked my neck as black liquid oozed from my pores, covering my body and my sword.

Skeletons burst out from the buildings, the ground fissuring as the screech of an unknown beast emerged from beneath, catching them off guard-

"Eyes on the prize big boy! HAAAA!" A tendril wrapped around his leg which made him lose balance, his arm amputated by my sword as I turned into a black mist and teleported metres away, grinning sadistically as I held his limp arm,"Need a hand?"

"Nathaniel!" That idiot with a sun shouted.

"I'm good. Focus on him. He's tougher than I thought."

"You bastard!" An arrow shot through my tentacles, aiming straight at me.

I teleported away,"Just one? I ca-Gah!"

Another arrow struck me just as I appeared-

He had predicted my movements, my shot off arm pinned to the wall by an arrow.

"An eye for an eye."

I smiled,"Except that..." My other hand plunged into the stub, pulling out viscous black liquid that hardened into another hand.

I moved my joints laughing,"Ah, feels just like my old hand."

"Now...It's about time you return those heads you owe me, don't you?"

I teleported forward, my sword crashing into a bow.

"You're gonna need to try a lot harder, pal."

My jaw turned to black liquid that dripped, hardening as my jaw dislocated-large, black razor sharp teeth lined my mouth as I crunched down on his head, my jaw turning back to normal as I crunched on the the skull and brain matter, blood oozing from my mouth.

Not mine.

"Not bad." I gulped it down, feeling the warm blood drip down my throat.

I licked my lips, black tendrils rising from the floor and blanketed the decapitated man for a moment before dissipating, leaving nothing but skeletons.

"YOU BASTARD! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!"

"Oh?" I licked my lips,"I didn't know it had this function...Apollo."

The black tendrils turned red, searing hot to the touch as I struck down with my sword on the sun, the radiating heat barely affecting me as the vein like tendrils latched onto the sun, draining it of power.

The sun grew dimmer and dimmer.

"To think I'd nearly been killed by one of your lackeys just a year ago."

"If I die...You die with me! LIFE BURN!"

I felt something amiss and shot back in an instant, a resplendent white light shining where I was moments ago as a shockwave blasted me back even further, dark blood spurting from my mouth like a fountain.

I landed on my back, my bones aching,"Son of a bitch..." I sat up, a crater several metres deep and spanning tens of kilometres in diameter.

I had forgotten how useful those rejuvenate pills were.

Black smog oozed out of my pores, covering my entire body as it slowly mended me back together.

"Two down." I chuckled hoarsely,"Five more and you're mine..."

"WATCH OUT ALEXIS! I'LL PROVE TO YOU THAT THAT PIECE OF TRASH IS NO BETTER THAN A FLY TO ME!"
