“My back hurts, did you have to be so hard on me?” Levi laid out his complaint while bending his back a bit to give it a little stretch, his eyes forming an accusatory slit at Azazel’s direction.

The silver-white haired demon sheathed his sword in place, paying less attention to the accusatory tone of Levi and leaned his back against the wall, arms crossed and keeping his lids shut.

They were both standing in the training ground that was opposite the courtyard. It was the early morning of winter, when he was supposed to get some rest since he doesn’t have to visit the limbo today, but unfortunately for him, Levi chose to ruin his sleep today of all days.

The demon kept banging on his door, requesting that he trains with him and of course he ignored, but then, he forgot that even Demons could teleport because the next minute, the clingy Levi was in his room, sitting at his bedside and ruining his peaceful sleep with his unwanted presence.

“This is just a warning, never_ever, even when you’re on death’s door, never disrupt my sleep.” And he was serious despite keeping his tone calm and collected, but his pretty white brows furrowed, sending the message to Levi who understood immediately.

Azazel had a gentle demeanor and physique, but his words and actions were a complete contrast to his physical appearance. When it came to swordsmanship, it was difficult to tell who amongst the two brothers were more violent. There were still good memories when Roshan, Azazel as well as him would sneak out to train themselves, and one time they ended up in big trouble because they accidentally destroyed a village.

With someone as smart as Azazel and Roshan who had amazing instincts with his own intellect, they successfully escaped the punishment with Roshan causing a ruckus and Azazel using it to their advantage.

Pressing his lips together, Azazel’s brow arched in suspicion as he stared at Levi who seemed to be enjoying a private joke, and his eyes evidently narrowed.

.....

“What are you thinking?”

Levi shook his head, “I was just remembering the last time we destroyed a village.” He couldn’t hold back a chuckle, “Remember when we’d always sneak away from the palace to go pay Roshan and his mother a visit, and then we decided to train together, which led to the ruins of a village.”

Azazel clicked his tongue at the funny, yet not-so-funny recollection. He has even forgotten something like that ever happened.

“To be more precise, Roshan was the one who destroyed the village.” He corrected, they were still teenagers back then, and it was that time many mischiefs brewed within them. They were out practicing on how to focus magic on swords, and it was all going successfully till Roshan’s ability got the better of him, and in the blink of an eye an entire village was gone.

It took a whole month before they could get themselves out of that mess and Roshan was forced to restrict the way he used his powers.

It wasn’t that Roshan didn’t have powers like the rest of them, but unlike them who had the ability to control theirs freely, Roshan doesn’t have the energy to keep his powers in check. He doesn’t use them since it triggers the darker part of his powers, hence, the reason why he barely trains with them.

“I’m happy to see him happy again after many years of silent grieving,” Levi genuinely stated, his sword vanishing from his grip, “and Anna’s presence might do us more good than we think.”

“Meaning?”

“What I mean is, Roshan has found his mate, when are you going to find yours, hmm? Don’t you think it’s about time we hear of your love story?” He asked, playfully twerking his brows at Azazel who frowned at him.

“I’m not acquainted with that word.”

“When is the pretty princess coming?” He hinted, his tone laced with mischief and that led to Azazel rolling his eyes.

“Do I look like her bodyguard?”

“Seems like, you’re always giving the princess a cold shoulder and it’s not nice, allow someone to defrost your heart a bit, else I’ll start calling you Iceman and build an ice statue of you, made from real ice.”

“Fine by me.”

“Admit she’s pretty, I’ve noticed how you look at her sometimes, and if you refuse, I’ll start to judge your sexuality preference.”

“Levi..!” Azazel really thought this demon cousin of his would have learnt his lesson by now, but he still speaks absolute nonsense to his face and it evidently annoyed him.

“Should I say it?” Levi challenged.

“I’m warning you Levi!”

“Are. You. Gay?” He said it.

That’s it!

“You’re seriously asking for a beating, come here!” Azazel made a move to grab the annoying demon, but Levi slipped away, already sensing Azazel’s approach and with a laugh that only added fuel to Azazel’s anger, Levi immediately ran off.

Watching him go, Azazel was unwilling to let that sly Demon get away with his words, so he went after him.

Exiting the training ground and chasing Levi up the stairs, the servants were all surprised to see both cousins chasing themselves around the Palace like the place was some playground.

Most of them even had to halt in what they were doing, finding it difficult to accept that the person chasing was Azazel.

“I didn’t know his highness was as playful as Levi.” A maid surprisingly commented in a whisper.

“Exactly, are you sure he’s really playing?”

Meanwhile, Levi enjoyed the chase because he couldn’t remember the last time Azazel chased him with the aim to punish him. At the same time, he silently wished to not be caught by the hands of Azazel, else he’ll be truly beaten up.

Anna was making her way through the corridor, humming to herself and she was on her way to see Gemma when she noticed Levi running towards her direction, and she stopped walking.

“Anna, help me.” He immediately took cover behind her, startling the clueless Anna who had no idea what was going on, until Azazel came into view, and he looked somewhat furious too which made her freeze from the look in his blue eyes.

“Azazel?”

Seeing Levi shielding himself behind Anna, Azazel could do nothing more but grit his teeth at his badluck, wondering why Levi got so lucky with escaping his torture.

“Is..is everything alright?” Anna asked, unsure of what was happening and from the looks of Azazel, he looked like he wanted to beat poor Levi who was making the face of a victim for Anna to see.

“I did nothing wrong, he’s trying to bully me.” Levi reported, pointing at Azazel who nearly dragged him out, but Anna was able to stop him on time, keeping Levi protected behind her.

“What happened?” Anna tried to bring Azazel’s attention to her, and he stopped.

“You have no idea what he said to me, I’m not leaving till I deal with that demon behind you.”

“Liar! What did I say? Huh?” Levi threw the question at him, knowing it’d be impossible for Azazel to shamelessly spit those words out, and he was right, cause Azazel could only stare without having the courage to say it.

“You can’t say it cause I did nothing to you, tell him to leave me alone.”

Anna who was stuck in the middle of these two demons had no idea what to do, she’s the one who’s supposed to be hiding behind Levi, not the other way round. She’s just a human! What’s she supposed to do??

“Uhm Azazel–” while trying to come up with something to save Levi from Azazel’s hands, to Anna’s delight, Roshan was heading their way with Enzo by his side, he looked prepared to go for the meeting but his conversation with Enzo halted when he noticed the commotion in front of him.

“What’s happening here?”

“Thank goodness you’re here.” Anna said to him, “apparently Azazel is trying to end Levi so–” her eyes signaled that he should handle the situation before Azazel eventually ends up hitting her instead of Levi.

Shaking his head helplessly, Roshan walked towards Anna and held her wrist, pulling her aside and making her stand beside him, thus, leaving Levi open to Azazel’s attack and the stranded demon felt his eyes widen.

“Problem solved.”

“Ah!!” Levi ran off and Azazel continued the chase.

“Get back here!”

Roshan and Anna watched the two of them, and Anna looked at Roshan, signifying that he was supposed to help Levi as well.

“Don’t worry, he won’t die.”

“Are you sure?”

“Nope.”

Her eyes widened at his unhelpful response, silently asking if he was serious, but Roshan just gave a half-shrug, “he’ll be fine.”

Anna couldn’t believe him, “You two really need to start treating Levi right.”
