"Hades!" For the nth time, the pink-haired lady heard her name. She immediately left her work to attend to her Persephone's needs.

She is currently working at one of the plates for their Specialized Drafting I subject. She grew fond of doing this since she likes art, and the houses they were tasked to do is taking out the Apollo in her.

She had secretly thanked Apollo as she walk to her Persephone to listen to her needs.

"Hades!" Another call thundered the whole household. Maids, and servants looked at Youi weirdly as she call someone who they believe does not live in the house.

"Why?" Hades asked as she walk down the stairs, earning head turns from the other people inside the house but she immediately shot them with dagger-like eyes.

These peasants are too curious for their own good. Ha! They should not intervene on others' businesses!

"Hade—"

"I am here now, what do you need of me?" She asked as she look at Youi with soft eyes filled with passion for the smaller lady.

"Nothing, come here and work with me." Youi patted the side beside her and Hades quickly nodded before running upstairs to get her work. She picked the papers up along with the pencils, pens, and the measuring devices. Using her power to contain multiple things at once she glides down the staircase with ease.

She sat in front of Youi and splayed her plates there.

Youi eyes her works with pure admiration. It is as if a computer had printed Hades' works. The lines, colors, and letterings are too perfect to believe that it is here and in front of her.

"Are you sure you drew these?!" Youi traced the edges, and sides with her eyes. Hades felt proud as she saw how Youi's eyes lit up with what she sees.

"Of course, I bear Apollo's hands in different parts of art." Hades spoke in all honesty, it may come off as rude, and boastful but she is just stating the fact.

"Wow, these are good! Can you draw portraits? Sceneries? Abstracts?" Youi asked, mentioning different kinds, and styles of art.

Hades was amused. She just nodded as an answer to her curious lady.

The shorter woman traced the drawing with her hands. Her fingers glide at the edges and sides.

"This is awfully good, wow." Receiving praises from Youi, Hades' pride just soared more. She pride her works, her beauty, her power, and her charisma. What can be her weakness? Nothing! Nothing except from this lady in front of her. The lady who managed to steal her breath away.

"Princess!" Yuan dropped his bag on the floor and ran to his sister. He just came back from his two-week long camp.

Hades growled lowly as the two hug. Growing up in a world where incest relationships are common, she surely is affected. She had witnessed siblings marrying each other out of love.

Her eyes pierced onto the boy's forehead as he hug her Persephone. Yuan looked at her, and smiled as a greeting. Not noticing the glare of the lady.

"Hey Heidi!" Youi removed herself from Yuan's hold as she look at Hades.

Hades just nodded at Yuan's greeting and resumed her work. She saw the subtle touches of Yuan and Youi as they talk which made Hades' inner goddess scowl angrily.

What are you doing?! That is mine! She is mine! I am the only allowed to hold her! I am!

Hades did her best to stop acting up based on her animalistic possessiveness and put all her anger on the poor pencil she is holding. The pencil broke into two and Youi heard that small snap. Her head batted towards Hades and immediately parted from her brother.

"Change your clothes, you stink!" Youi spoke and pushed her brother jokingly. She then slowly retreated and sat beside Hades.

She saw Hades' knuckles turning white and the poor pencil is crushed into tiny pieces.

"H—Hades." She held the latter's hand and she was welcomed by the other's pure black eyes.

"Mine." Hades growled lowly, her deep voice sent tingles down Youi's spine which made the latter's body hair stand.

Hades' hand left the poor pencil and grabbed Youi's hand.

Mine! Mine! Mine! You are mine, Persephone! No one can take you away from me! No one!

Youi caressed Hades' cheek using her other hand and whispered.

"Hush, my Goddess." With that, Hades' eyes immediately sheltered the deep blue color.

Hades blinked and let go the shorter lady's hand immediately.

"I…uhm…"

"It's alright. Let's go back to work, shall we?" Youi smiled at her.

With the span of time that Youi had lived with Hades, she can now see how subtle touches, words, and even glances can awake the greedy goddess inside of her. She is very familiar with the Greek mythology itself, which she didn't know existed for real, so she knows the different stories of love.

Hades' reaction is always expressed through the things she hold whenever Youi acts sweet with anyone around her. Crushed pencils, dented utensils, broken knobs, anything.

Although humans may find it unreasonable or totally baseless, it is what Hades is. The young Goddess had never experienced the normal upbringing most does.

"Hades…" Youi called the pink-haired lady in front of her who's focused on her work.

"Why?" The latter immediately dropped her things even though she's in the middle of her final lettering work.

Her gaze fell upon Youi's blank expression. The latter's lips contemplated to ask what she had in mind.

"Speak of no fear. I am to answer whatever you ask for." Hades assured the shorter woman with her soft voice, as if dissolving the doubt inside Youi's mind.

"Y—You said, Athena is your mother, right?" Hades was taken aback. She does not wish to talk about her parents in this kind of set-up but if her love do wish for it then she will do.

"Yes." She answered shortly.

"But you also said that you are a demigod. How so? If your parents are both superiors?" Youi's question rolled out anxiously. She's not sure of how the pink-haired will react in this questions.

"I am passed to a human's womb which means I am carried to breathe by a human. My father and his niece had a fair share of fornication which resulted to me being brought up." Hades is so very much devoted to the idea of a family, so her voice winced at the mention of infidel between her father and mother. She may not be getting along well with her father's wife but she pities the woman for suffering with the unfaithfulness her father had made.

"Oh, you have a lot of parents." Hades' eyes lit with amusement as Youi said that. However it soon died out when she remember such bitter memories.

Yes, she were blessed with many parents but is she really? She had never felt proper love from her parents. Not from her father, her step-mother, her real mother, nor her human mother. She never did.

Hades was too busy with his wife to even pamper her. Persephone just hates her to the bones because of her father's doings. Athena is occupied with her duties, and tasks up in Olympus. Her human mother is prohibited to even engage more than an hour with her with all the guards watching them.

So say it, is she really blessed to have a lot of parents?
