Hazel stared at the grinning youth as if to make sure she is not seeing wrong. The man had changed over the last 4 years just like how she had changed physically. He had grown even taller with a built body and strong arms with veins.

When Hazel didn't speak,Dylan's smile slowly faltered. He looked at her crimson eyes as if to find what she is thinking but couldn't comprehend her emotions. He wanted to speak but couldn't when he felt himself going into a trance. And that's when it hit him,Hazel has changed. She is a woman now. Not a 14 years old teenage girl with a lousy attitude.

"So,you were waiting huh?",He found himself saying at the end.

"You told me to wait",Hazel replied softly.

Dylan was the first to break the eye contact feeling something burning in his chest. He still felt that strange emotion even after 4 years and he didn't know what to do with himself now.

Hazel snapped back to reality and frowned feeling confused. She was staring at him as if she was longing but what the fuck? She didn't understand why would she feel such a thing for this man. Was it because now that her body had grown,the adult hormones are taking over her? However,she didn't have time to ponder about her inner desires right now.

She immediately pulled Dylan into her room and closed the balcony door. Now that she thinks about it,shouldn't she be angry? She had waited for him 4 fucking years.

She forcefully sat the raven on her bed and stood infront of him with her arms crossed over her chest.

Dylan's eyes lingered over her full bosoms before looking away clearing his throat. "God,have mercy on me",he mumbled to himself.

"If I remembered correctly,you Saif it would only take 3 years? How many years had passed now?"

Dylan smiled nervously as he raised his palm in surrender,"Alright alright,you can't expect me to come back right after exactly 3 years right?"

"Why not?"

"Oh come on! Cut some slack for me! Will you?"

Hazel rolled her eyes,"3 years mean 3 years! "

Dylan smirked as leaned backwards keeping his palms on the bed either side of his bed,"Oh don't tell me you missed me that much?"

Hazel's eyes went wide with pink cheeks and scoffed loudly,looking away to hide her face,"Don't be ridiculous! Who missed who?!"

Dylan couldn't help but to tease her even more,"Well,your pink cheeks speak louder here. Why? Was i not right?"

Hazel gritted her teeth,clenching her fists feeling utterly embarrassed. "You wish! I didn't fucking miss you!"

Dylan stood up from the bed with a devilish smirk and closed the gap between Hazel and him as he approached her back facing figure. He leaned to her ear whispering like an incubus in heat,"Shh,don't shout baby. We don't want your brothers to disturb us now,do we?"

Hazel felt dizzy from all the teasing and flirting words and she almost saw the after life when Dylan's breath fanned over her neck. When the fuck did she become a girl in a war of hormones?!

She couldn't take it. She turned around and pushed Dylan to the bed and climbed ontop of him before hitting him with a pillow,"You fucking pervert!"

"Shh Shh hey! Let me atleast put a silent spell to the room!! Hey — stop hitting me!"

Dylan grabbed Hazel's wrists and pulled her towards him before turning themselves on the bed,now Hazel was beneath him. She still struggled to hit him but he immediately pinned her wrists onto the bed and put a magic shackle so her inhuman strength wouldn't be able to overwhelm him. He was even surprised when she didn't use her strength to just now to hit him but he was lucky somehow. He manged to restrain her just because she didn't use her strength against him.

"Calm down",Dylan spoke softly as panted heavily.

Hazel's chest also went up and down against Dylan's chest with every breath she took. When he felt her calming down slowly,he heaved a sigh and stared into her wide eyes.

The tension building up in the atmosphere was rising up like hot lava. Dylan's eyes ran all over her face from eyes to nose and then her parted rosy lips. He was sure that he is going insane now. He couldn't describe himself with another word anymore. He had felt such a strong desire for another woman in his entire life. It was strong,too strong. The urge to swallow her lips was driving him to the edge of the cliff. Just for a kiss? A mere kiss? Is he going insane for a kiss? He had slept with number of women but never felt like kissing anyone this strongly.

He immediately pulled himself away and released Hazel from the shackles but she stayed there lying on the bed with wide eyes.

Dylan didn't look at her as he spoke,"D –Don't worry,no one heard anything. I had put a silencing spell into this room the moment I arrived"

Hazel sat up still in daze,"Touch me again,I'm going to kill you"

Dylan laughed nervously and messed his hair,not being able to comprehend his own behaviour. He hated how the emotion grew in ten folds after 4 years of not seeing her. "Why not? Just sleep with me,I don't think that's a bad idea. One night wouldn't be that bad huh?",though he intended to joke,deep down he knew his words didn't sound funny to his own heart.

"Not happening. So,are you planning to tell me what happened or should I kick you out now?",Hazel said even though she was a blushing mess.

Dylan sighed as he took a seat on the bed far away from her. "Alright",his face turned serious now. "Have you heard the news about the imperial family I destroyed?"

Hazel nodded,"Yeah,3 years ago,it was a hot topic. No one knew how the imperial family got murdered or how the other related families got annihilated. It was terrible. It was you right?"

Dylan smirked like a devil,"Who else"

"What about the sword? The sword you took from me? 'Dylan's sword' "

Dylan raised his palm and a long sword appeared right on top of his palm. "As I suspected,Dylan's maternal family had been dying to search this sword. I didn't really understand why they wanted the sword that badly but once I got into Dylan's mother's childhood house,I got all my answers"

Hazel's knotted her eyebrows expecting him to continue.

"This sword....",Dylan stared at the impressive blade. "It does not serve to anyone other than the blood relatives of Dylan. The spirit in the sword is very special but who would have known there was a sick story behind this impressive sword"

"What is it?",Hazel asked.

Dylan snickered,"This is not a sword Hazel. This is a person. A living person. Not a spirit. Dylan's mother's sister who disappeared a long ago when she was just five years old"

"What?"

Dylan looked at Hazel's confused face.

"Imperial family used dark sorcery to turn a five old child to a literal sword. A blood sacrifice. No one knew anything except the king and family head of Dylan's mother's house,her father"

"That's....that's inhuman. How could they — A fucking child? Why would they do that?"

Dylan shrugged his shoulders,"To forge a strong weapon,a weapon no one can destroy,a weapon which promised the victory"

Hazel,"And the king married that girl's older sister who is Dylan's mother,so when they gave birth to a child,the sword will respond to the imperial family blood too?"

"Precisely. But somehow the sword had gone missing and now it is sitting on my palm",....."I used this sword to slay Dylan's grandfather,the very own blood she is serving"

Hazel,"Dylan wanted that? Not you,the real one. He wanted it too,right? "

The raven nodded still staring at the sword,"He did. At first,he only wanted to destroy the current imperial family who had tormented him and his mother but when he found about the story of the sword,he went for a mascara in his last life",...."I can understand why. This sword....it speaks to its owner. She tells her story to the owner hoping she will be freed one day"

"....did it speak to you too?"

"No. But when I forcefully made it identify myself as the owner,she told me"

Hazel pondered for a while,there had been a question lingering in her head for a long time now. She didn't know if it was the right time to ask but she had been dying to know it,"So.....you said you're not Dylan. Then where is he?"

Raven haired male didn't look at her as he smiled slightly,"Why do you ask that?"

Hazel,"Because I'm curious"

"Well,let's say,I was bored and offered him a deal in exchange for his place"

Hazel raised an eyebrow clearly wanting him to continue.

"He wanted to destroy the imperial family and at the same time the throne too"

Hazel,"So?"

Dylan grinned evily,"So,guess who is in the throne now?"

Hazel,"Huh? What do you mean? After you destroyed that kingdom,a distant relative of the king had taken the throne if I heard right "

Dylan shrugged his shoulders with a smile.

Hazel,"Wait,don't tell me that's the Dylan?! The current King?!! The new king who is rebuilding that kingdom?!"

"Pulled a trick to change his face since I'm sharing his face. Couldn't let two Dylans to exist right? I gave him a kingdom while I took his place as Dylan to entertain myself here"

Hazel tried to clear the mess in her head. She shook her head not wanting to think about unnecessary extra informations she received tonight. She should focus on what she needs now. She looked at the raven haired male and asked,"Then tell me who are you? You promised to reveal yourself "

The young man placed the sword on Hazel's bed and stood up. He walked to stand infront of Hazel with a look she couldn't read at all. A soft smile yet devilish nature was still there. "I did promise so I have to do it now"

He took a step back still keeping his eyes on Hazel. "Hazel,what is the name of the God of this world?"

"....Lucian?"

The raven haired man nodded,"Lucian,God of light and the god of heaven. So,do you know who is the god of hell in this world?"

"Huh? I....don't know?"

The man nodded again,"Understandable. It's a taboo to even say his name after all"

Silence

"The god of darkness,Orpheus,was a god born from Lucian too. The bastard Lucian impregnated the late hell King Erebus' wife and Orpheus was born like that. Erebus didn't know it until Orpheus was put on the throne. The throne refused Orpheus because it didn't identify Orpheus as pure blood. The truth came out,the fault went to Orpheus' mother. She was executed without even having a trial. Orpheus was forced to give up the throne"

Silence.

The raven haired man chuckled humourlessly and stroked his face,"The woman didn't cheat,you know. That bastard Lucian was a damn pervert who couldn't keep his dick in his pants after seeing Erebus' wife. She was forced. And she had to keep it quiet for the sake of the baby. Just imagine how hilarious this is!! Hahaha",he laughed even though there was nothing to laugh about. "She was tortured to death. I mean,what can a powerless hell goddess do? Orpheus was forced to watch how his mother died"

Hazel felt an ominous feeling seeing the grinning man's angsty eyes. Something is not right. This man,he was not laughing at the misery of that woman,he was laughing because.....he couldn't cry.

"So Hazel.....do you know what Orpheus did?"

Hazel,"....what did he do?"

The man grinned wider as if he was insane. "I destroyed a whole universe and let Erebus burn in the hell I created for him"

Hazel was blanking staring at him. She had no big reaction he expected. Though she seemed surprised,she didn't look at him as if he is a crazy monster.

"What happened to Orpheus after that?",Hazel asked.

"Orpheus had a younger brother,a pure blooded heir. He pulled some tricks and locked Orpheus for eternity. He was locked away for thousands of years until....",....."Until an anguished father released that demon to bring back his loved ones"

Hazel stood up slowly and walked closer to the raven haired man. When she was a step away from him,she asked again,"Then,where is he now?"

The youth stared at Hazel in silence for few seconds as if he is taking his time to remember all of Hazel's facial features."....right infront of you",he whispered.

Hazel smiled,"Show me then"

The man closed his eyes at her command. A silver white light shone brightly from his body making Hazel close her eyes. She blinked few times when the light slowly faded. The face infront of her was not Dylan's. Porcelain like snow white skin,a pair of siren eyes with jaded green eyes and vertical pupils like a serpent,a tight jaw bone. He was taller than Dylan with with broad wide shoulders. And his hair had grown long again because that was how his real appearance. Even the cloths are different from what he had been wearing previously. An armoured suit which hugged his body perfectly. Though he had a built body,his waist was thin and she was dying to see what's inside the suit.

"Hazel Pendragon",he called her with a smug look,"You're in the presence of the former hell King Orpheus"
