Chapter-66
[Coming back a little]
"Let's go",God Soma said as he looked at William.
William didn't say anything as he silently followed behind God Soma.
"Good evening can I please see your invitation card",A handsome man dressed like a butler politely asked God Soma.
"Here",God Soma handed him the invitation card as the butler gave them a green sign.
Walking through the giant door, William and God Soma entered the luxurious hall.
William had to say Freya made quite the preparations, There were musicians playing classic music as well as servers going around serving food in a professional manner.
"Hey Soma how have you been"
"It's been a long time since I last saw you"
"Hey is it true that you took over the pleasure district"

William was in a daze as he saw a crowd of people all clustering around God Soma.
'I thought you were a shut-in!!!'
Seeing God Soma smile as he conversed with them, William decided to just blend in the background as he silently stood in a desolate corner.
"The Loki familia has come!!"
The gatekeeper announced as everyone in the party looked at the entrance.
William also turned his head and saw Godess Loki walking in an arrogant manner.
Many God's just shaked their heads in resignation and then ignored her.
After all they knew her all too well.....
William looked behind Godess Loki and saw Ais Wallenstein.
Instantly William turned away and then hid behind the red curtain.
You can't blame William.
He totally forgot about the promise to teach her...
Ais on the other hand tilted her head in confusion as she felt a familiar gaze for a moment before it disappeared.
Seeing that Ais was no longer looking at his direction, William got out of the curtain but he didn't let his guard down.
*Chatter*Chatter*
The party continued, Everyone present was enjoying themselves as they drank and chat with each other.
Turning his head, William could see Godess Hephaestus in her red one-piece enjoying the music as she talked with her fellow blacksmiths, Looking a little to the right William saw Godess Loki trying to grab Ais's chest from behind but was instead bashed on the head by Desperate's sheath.
William silently looked at the lively scene and even if a little he felt a bit out of place.
'Coming here was a waste of time after all....',William thought as he turned his head away from the lively scene.
*Tap*
'Hm?',William frowned as he felt a tap on his shoulder.
With silver coloured hair and a white one-piece on her body, Godess Freya smiled as she extended her hand towards William and asked.
"Would you dance with me".
-
William's eyes glowed with a weird light as he stared at Freya's extended hand.
'What is she trying to achieve?', Multiple thoughts passed through William's mind as he tried to find out the reason for Freya's action.
'I can't come up with any logical explanation once again....'
"You don't have to think so deeply about it...",Freya said as she retracted her hand.
"I don't have any hidden motive behind my action or anything, I just thought that you looked a little lonely standing here all by yourself.",Freya said with a smile on her face.
William on the other hand had a face which said
'Yeah I totally believe you....like hell I do!!'.
"It's fine if you don't want to dance.....Well enjoy the evening",Freya mumbled in a small voice as she turned around.
William's eyes glowed with a weird light as he looked at Freya's back.
"Goddess Freya.....",A serene voice stopped Freya in her track.
Turning back around, Freya saw William stretching out his hand in a well mannered way.
"Would you like to have a dance"
Freya was stunned as she had truly never expected William to agree.
She only asked him for a dance to tease him...
Although it was unexpected, Freya didn't need to think twice as she grabbed William's hand with a smile on her face and said.
"It will be my pleasure"
Godess Freya didn't notice it at that time that William's eyes had turned sharp as if deeply thinking about something.
-
"Hey have you heard Soma familia took over the pleasure district?"
"I always thought Soma was a shut-in but I guess I was wrong..."
"Yeah it turns out he was just waiting for the right opportunity to strike."
*Chatter*
God Soma could hear such talk all around him but he wasn't in the least bit bothered by it.
'I haven't come here to listen to their useless talk',God Soma thought as a smile appeared on his face.
God Soma was really happy right now and could care less about what others thought of him.
After all.....
He has finally found a solution for the skill [Cold blooded].
'Although it is impossible to completely get rid of the skill but turning it off is very much possible.'
'Though it will take quite a long time to create the medicine...'
God Soma was delighted that he attended this party.
"Hey look...."
"I-isnt that Freya."
"But who is that young man?"
All voices in the hall died down.
'Hmm?',God Soma who was just about to drink from the wine glass in his hand was stunned.
Every pair of eyes were fixed at the black haired boy and the silver haired goddess who were making their way towards the centre of the hall.
Nothing need to be said about Freya the godess of love, She was as beautiful as always.....
But the boy who was holding her hand was nothing to scoff at either.
The mask covering his face made him appear all mysterious while his crystal clear eyes captivated their minds.
As they saw the scene, many of the gods asked their friend to find out the identity of the young man.
After all not everyone has the guts to dance with the Godess of love Freya....
Let's just hope the boy won't end up dead by the morning.....
While everyone in the hall were making up their own connections, God Soma who still held the wine glass in his hand was silently staring at William and Freya.
Even God Soma didn't noticed when but the smile which appeared on his face a moment ago was now gone without a trace.
*Grip*
Cracks formed all over the glass's surface as God Soma unknowingly tightened his grip.
-
"They are all staring at us",Freya said as she placed one hand on William's shoulder.
William didn't replied to her as he calmly placed one hand on Freya's waist and grabbed her right hand with his left.
A charming smile formed on Freya's face when William grabbed her waist.
*Music*
The classic music started playing as William and Freya got in their positions.
*Swish*Swish*
With professional movements, William led Freya showing his skills as a dancer.
Even Freya was surprised as she had never expected William to know how to dance, She was even prepared in case William stepped on her feets.
Infact William really dosen't know how to dance.
But....
Swordsman- (B)
'B' in swordsman isn't just for show you know.....
It is said that swordsmanship at a very high level will look like a dance.
That is why William was able to perform so well.
As William and Freya danced, more and more guests started paying attention to them.
"What is that slut up to now?",Loki said as she scratched her head.
Ais who is standing beside Loki had her eyes fixed on William as the grip on her rapier tightened.
-
Ottar who was standing beside the food counter had a cold look on his face as he looked at William and Freya.
-
God Soma who has now loosened his grip on the wine glass, Keep looking at William with indifferent eyes.
-
After finishing their dance, Freya and William disappeared from the hall.
On the second floor balcony.
Freya looked at the moon with her back facing William.
"Tell me William...",Freya asked in a neutral voice.
"Do you hate me?"
William stared at Freya's back trying to figure out her real intention.
Freya didn't urge William to answer as she silently stared at the moon.
William was unable to distinguish her real intention and so he answered truthfully.
"Yes"
In his usual calm voice William said not even trying to hide how he truly felt.
After all it was useless to hide in the first place.
You can't lie to a God.
That is why William decided to answer truthfully.
"..."
Freya stayed silent after she heard William's answer.
The moonlight from the sun spread out as it covered William and Freya.
Under the cover of the moonlight Freya turned around with a smile on her face.
"It is normal isn't it?"
William looked confused as he heard Freya.
"After all I am a whore who has slept with countless men right?"
With a smiling face Freya said as she calmly walked passed William.
Freya didn't thought too much about William's answer.
After all she is used to it.
It is not the first time someone has though of her like that.
If anyone wants to think of her as a whore than let them.
Her love is not something which they can understand anyway.
Just as Freya was about to go through the glass door.
"You have misunderstood me Goddess Freya"
A familiar voice stopped Freya in her track.
"I do not hate you because you are a whore or something"
Turning around, Freya saw William's clear eyes staring right at her.
"My thinking isn't so shallow as to despise someone just because they have slept with other men"
The moonlight illuminated William's face as he continued.
"If you love the person then what does small things like that matter?"
"If you truly love the person then you would accept them in their entirety and not be bothered by anything else."
Freya stood still in her place as she heard William.
Because she could tell that they weren't empty words
With the power of a God she could tell that William truly felt that way.
"Fuhhahaha",All of a sudden Freya started laughing as she held onto her stomach.
"You are full of surprises aren't you",Freya said with a smile on her face as she used her left hand to wipe off the tear from the corner of her eye.
William didn't said anything as he kept up his poker face.
"Thank you....", Freya said in a small voice.
Nobody know if William heard her or not as there wasn't a single change in William's expression.
"Good night then Mr. Dark Hero",Freya said as she turned around.
But this time a geniune smile appeared on her face.
-
William stood on the same spot after Freya left.
Turning around, William looked at the moon as he remembered what he said to Freya.
It is true that William dosen't have anything against prostitution.
If he did then William would have never saved Haruhime in the first place.
[Author-In case you forgot, William had only seen the first season]
"The reason I dislike you is because you manipulate others against their will...",William mumbled in a small voice.
'Well it dosen't matter after all I have already achieved my purpose',William eyes shone with a dangerous light as he remembered his dance with Freya.
The reason why William danced with Freya.
"I have already checked....."
William's hand turned into a fist as he continued.
"I am no longer affected by it"
William's eyes shone with a blinding light.
"Freya's authority of love can affect me no longer"
