          	“Apa?!” pekik Maisha saat Liam menyodorkan perkamen Daftar Utang Mansha di depan hidung mancung gadis itu.
          	
          	Mereka hendak bersiap-siap berangkat. Namun, kini Maisha menunda memanjat tangga yang terjuntai dari punggung Topaz.
          	
          	“Itu adalah buku langka. Kau beruntung Cyril tidak mendendamu lebih dari ini,” tegur Liam sambil mengetuk kepala Maisha dengan tempat tinta yang dia genggam.
          	
          	“Aku tidak mau membayarnya!” Maisha menelengkan kepala, menghalau benda itu. Dia kemudian menoleh ke arah Cyril yang sedang memeriksa jaring dan kotak di punggung Ruby dan berseru, “Kapten! Aku tidak mau membayarnya! Kau dengar itu?!”

          “Angkat bokongmu!” Omelan Cyril memekakkan telinga gadis yang kini sedang berusaha tidak mengecup tanah yang berada lima sentimeter di hadapannya.
          
          “Tiga belas!”
          
          “Uh!” Maisha menggunakan otot lengannya untuk melakukan full push up. Matahari pagi, wangi rumput, bahkan aroma kotoran wyvern yang tercium samar-samar sama sekali tidak berhasil menambah kekuatan gadis itu.
          
          “Empat belas!”
          
          “Ah!” Maisha memekik sebelum jatuh tengkurap dengan napas hampir putus, pasrah dengan nasib malangnya.
          
          “Siapa yang menyuruhmu istirahat! Angkat badanmu!”

11 - Persephone [ English Version ]
          
          Hades' curiosity was piqued when he heard faint laughter from his chamber. Upon opening the door, he suddenly inhaled the fragrance of roses.
          
          Hades' eyes widened as he saw his majestic home transformed into a field of flowers. He entered to find the culprit, who redo his interior without permission.
          
          However, he stopped walking when he heard someone singing. He was familiar with that music. He recognized the beautiful voice that made him fall in love with the owner.
          
          Hades took a deep breath as he saw Persephone dancing and singing in their chamber. Her face was bright, and her blue eyes sparkled. New flowers bloomed with each graceful movement of her bare legs, concealing the skeletons and dispelling the dark aura.
          
          However, Persephone did not notice his presence as she was absorbed in her enjoyment, unlike Hecate, who immediately stood up from the bedside. She bowed slightly to Hades before leaving the room to return to the Human World.

          Liam berdecak sambil menutup kipas dengan sekali entakan. Pria itu kemudian berjalan ke ranjangnya sendiri, membuat Samson berpindah ke ranjangnya. Dia melirik ke arah Maisha dan berkata, “Kau harus memperbaiki tata kramamu, Bocah. Tindakanmu tadi siang sangat memalukan.”
          
          Maisha sontak teringat akan tingkah aneh Cyril dan ucapan janggal Liam sebelumnya. Dia pun menoleh dan bertanya, “Apa maksudmu?”
          
          “Oh, bukan suatu hal yang penting.” Liam mengipasi diri sendiri sambil duduk di ranjangnya sebelum memberikan melirik ke arah Maisha. “Ternyata, selain pemabuk kau juga gemar berjudi, atau kau berjudi saat mabuk.”
          
          “Aku apa?!”
          
          “Kau mengundi dadu dengan pria barbar yang bernama Kavier––”
          
          “Xavier,” koreksi Samson.
          
          “Ah, ya, Xavier. Kau menjaminkan Topaz sebagai modal awal dan membuat Cyril murka. Kau juga bergelantung pada tirai dan bernyanyi, sebelum menangis tersedu-sedu.”
          
          “Aku tidak melakukannya!” Wajah Maisha sontak terasa panas. Dia memang sedikit teringat mengenai soal gelak tawa dan dadu. Namun, dia sangat yakin tidak memanjat tirai.

          “Mai- eh, Mansa.” Maisha mengulurkan tangan. “Terima kasih sudah membawaku ke kamarmu.”
          
          Akan tetapi, Karen segera menggeleng sebelum menjawab, “Bukan aku. Aku tidak mungkin sanggup menggendongmu ke sini.”
          
          Benar juga. Maisha pun menurunkan tangannya yang belum juga dijabat Karen. “Jadi, siapa?”
          
          Samsonkah? Tidak mungkin Liam.
          
          Karen tiba-tiba tertawa kecil. Dia menutup bibirnya dengan telapak tangan dan menjawab, “Kakakmu. Dia sepertinya sangat kesal saat menggendongmu.”
          
          “Kakak?” Mata Maisha sontak membesar. Gerald datang? “Di mana dia?”
          
          Maisha pun bangkit berdiri hanya untuk menemukan tubuhnya masih oleng. Untung Karen segera menangkap lengan gadis itu sebelum dia terjatuh.

          Hades continued his journey with anxiety, worrying that something untoward would happen in that place. He was worried that some criminals had escaped and returned to the Human World, causing a commotion. However, Tartaros was so far away. It took nine days to reach the deepest place of the Underworld, and leaving the unadapted Queen alone was not wise. He could have used magic to go to that place immediately. However, he also had to check the other areas.
          
          Hades took a deep breath and closed his eyes. "Nyx."
          
          "Hades," greeted a goddess shrouded in pitch-black mist appeared in front of Hades.
          
          "Tell me how Tartaros is doing?"
          
          "Too busy taking care of your bride to check it by yourself?" teased Nyx. Her laughter sounded like a sudden storm.

          “Kau masih terlalu kecil, Bocah.” Liam mencondongkan tubuh, menunjukkan ekspresi sok pintar, membuat wajah Maisha mengerut. “Banyak hal yang harus kau pelajari tentang cara memperlakukan seorang perempuan.”
          
          “Saya rasa kau yang harus banyak belajar mengenai perempuan,” bantah Maisha sambil memundurkan punggung. Wajah Liam terlalu dekat, membuat gadis itu terpaksa mengamati kulit putihnya yang sangat mulus, tanpa setitik noda di sana. “Mereka tidak suka dipanggil Manis.”
          
          Liam mendengkus. Dia kemudian menegakkan punggung dan mengipasi dirinya sendiri. “Percayalah, Bocah. Gadis itu bahkan akan mengeong apabila kita memperlakukannya dengan benar.”

          Her chuckles from her three lips echoed. "Congratulations on your marriage."
          
          Hades hugged the still-hiding Persephone with his left hand and grasped the chair handle with the other. "Hecate, tell me what you need."
          
          "I am here to get acquainted with our new queen." Three soft voices sounded simultaneously. "Hypnos said she might need help adjusting to her new home."
          
          Persephone glanced to catch a glimpse of their visitor. Hecate appeared friendly, and she needed a friend in this dreadful place.
          
          "Hades, if you don't mind, let me chat with her. Besides being a Goddess of the Underworld, I am also a Goddess of the Upper World who often assists humans in the birth and nurturing of their children. I'm sure we can be friends."
          
          "Would you like to speak with her?" asked Hades to his wife when he realized that the strong apple scent gradually diminished.
          
          Persephone looked up so that their eyes met. The girl's cheeks flushed pink before she backed down, making Hades take a sharp breath. He liked what he saw.
