The King of Darkness

Chapter 5

Day 1 of the Trials and everyone is excited and ready to see what the first test is going to be. 

We were all dressed in different wear but the clothes that we had to wear looked like it came out of a BDSM store. 

I was wearing a pair of leather pants, high-heeled boots, a corset that was making it difficult to breathe and my hair was tied up into a pony tail. I looked at the other girls and they were either wearing leather skirts or pants, with corsets or crop tops, heels or high-heeled boots, their hair was down and their make up was done. I had to run away from the demon that tried to put make up on me . 

"Welcome ladies, don't you all look tasty to eat," Hades said and giving all of us a wink. I rolled my eyes at his perverted comment and allowed myself to not say my remark out loud. 

"Today is the first Trials and we will see who will survive or who will be leaving. Now, this challenge is easy and quite simple but there is a trick to the whole challenge," he said and he was  sugar coating on what the challenge is about. 

"Just tell us already! Some of us has a life to go back to!", I yelled and regretted as soon as those words came out. The girls turned around and gave me the most horrifying death glares ever.

"You should be grateful that you are in the presence of the king and you are being so rude", the girl that was being disrespectful to the maid that was getting her ready yesterday.

"Listen, I didn't ask to be here okay and I certainly don't need to give my respect to a pervert king," I said back and that made the girls turn even more red. 

"Ladies, ladies...calm down now. We are not here to argue about me. We are here to compete in competitions to see who will be the new Queen of the Underworld," Hades said and it drove the attention away from me.

All the girls put their attention back on the pervert and in a split second forgotten that I was there.
I was standing at the back of the crowd again but that didn't bother me because I preferred to be apart from the crowd.

"As always he gets the attention.", a voice said behind me. I jumped a little and turned around facing an angelic face.
His face chiseled in all the right places, his eyes electric blue same as Hades, his lips petal pink, his chocolate brown hair flowed till his shoulders and his body muscular. He wore a casual jeans, button up shirt and point shoes.

He smiled at me and said," Hello beautiful. I saw the commotion and couldn't resist myself to meet the goddess that insulted my brother."

I was speechless and I realised I just insulted this mans brother.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean any offense but he does deserve it," I instantly defended myself but frowned when he started chuckling.

"Oh, darling don't apologise for speaking the truth. He does deserve all the insults that come out of that pretty mouth of yours", he said.

"Zeus!", a voice boomed across the hall and echoed in my ears. I turned to see Hades glaring at Zeus and I.

"Hello brother. It's good to see you", Zeus said, with a hint of sarcasm in his words.

"What brings you here in the Underworld?", Hades says bluntly and uninterested in his brothers presence.

"Can't I visit my brother and his beautiful wives to be", Zeus said, winking at the ladies and that single wink weakened all the girls legs.

I rolled my eyes at the girls, at how weak their minds and hearts are.

"We will talk later brother. Right now I have a competition to host", Hades said and went back to what he was saying to the ladies.
