Chapter 5 - Studying the Art of Escaping
"One can be physically free but confined by the limitations of his own mind."
A FEW MORE days passed by. Angelique went about her routine. Breakfast in the morning, walk around the mansion, spy a little bit on Hades, chat with some lampads, annoy Charon, then go to bed. She did this to observe the pattern of everyone in the estate.
She noted that the food was a lot better the next day. She made sure to compliment Rheie. "You are the best Rheie. You knew just what I need and you did something about it."
Rheie was only able to bow and accept her praise. She was forbidden to say who exactly ordered the change in the menu.
There were a lot of servants in the mansion in the mornings. But about half of them disappears in the afternoon.
“We lend extra hands to the employees in the underworld, madam.” One of the lampads answered to her w

"Curiosity kills a stranger and births a friend."AS SOON AS Angelique opened her eyes the next day, Charon was standing at the foot of her bed.“Good morning, Madam. I will step out for a moment as you freshen up.”It was so weird seeing him without his master, “Where is Hades?”He jerked at the mention of the lord’s mortal name. “He had a meeting with other minor deities of the underworld.”He would not even bother seeing her off. Not that Angelique is disappointed not to see him for the last time.She knew that she will be returning to her family. So she decided to wear simple clothes so as not to arouse any unnecessary attention from people.Charon was right outside the master’s bedroom, waiting for her. “Madam, you

"People who are usually quiet have the noisiest thoughts."THE NEXT MORNING, Angelique sat alone in the dining room at breakfast.“Where is Hades?”“He had to go out early for a meeting, my lady.” Rheie answered.“A meeting in the underworld this early? I thought work does not start until sunset?”“He attended a meeting with mortals.”“Meeting with mortals? What do you mean?”“Aside from the underworld, the master owns hospitals, funerary parlors, and private cemeteries. This makes it easier to fetch our clients.”“Ohh.. That is quite creepy but strategic.” Angelique was expecting to see him at breakfast and patch things up. “Do you know what time he would be going home?&rdq

“The little girl asked her grandpa, ‘When did you first knew you loved grandma?’ He answered, ‘When I started slowing downduring walks so I could be beside her.” Angelique stood frozen by the bedside until Fran went back from the walk-in closet. “What are you doing standing there?” he asked. She looked at the cleopatra sofa and thought about asking Fran to sleep there. ‘He might feel uncomfortable on it. He must be used to sleeping in a big, soft bed.’ So she took a pillow and walked to the sofa. “Where are you going?” he asked some more. “You go sleep on the bed. I will be sleeping here on the sofa.” “That is just ridiculous. That sofa is not built for sleeping.” “It is

“There are two ways to look at life: thinking that things you desire come to you because it was meant to be, and thinking that it comes to you because you have worked hard towards reaching them.” After a few more days of playing Fran’s little assistant, Angelique had become familiar of his work routine. He would always go out of the mansion and head to a meeting in the underworld, in the mortal world regarding his businesses there, or in Olympus to report progress to the great twelve. When he does not have any meetings, he stay in his office to settle paper works that need his opinion or signature. She stared at her reflection in the mirror of her dresser. Fran will be going back from a meeting he had with the three judges of the underworld. It was already late at night. “Madam, looks like the meeting will not be ending soon.” Rheie informed her.

“The best way to get to know someone is to figure out what the people around that person thinks of him/her.” ANGELIQUE was shocked with Ascalaphus’ revelation. No one told her she had the freedom to leave the underworld. “Think about it, my lady. Ever since you arrived in this mansion, you have not eaten anything grown from the underworld.” She thought back to her meals. During her first breakfast, she was served with fruits, but because she was not used to eating those early in the morning, she left them uneaten and just drank her milk. Afterwards, she was served meat and other usual meals in the mortal world. “Now that you have said it, I remember Rheie saying the ingredients used for my food is imported from the mortal world.” “Even the fruits that were served to you are imported. Even when we have plenty of it here in the orchard.”

“A man trying to understand his woman is like a man traveling a strange land with the wrong map.”To say Fran is busy with work is an understatement. In fact, he is SWAMPED. The meeting of the board of directors back in Mt. Olympus is dangerously near but there is still a lot of work to do. The accomplishment reports of his businesses both in the underworld and in the mortal world still needs to be perfected. Aside from that, he needs to make sure that his businesses will be perfectly taken care of while he is away.“Have you relayed my instructions to the lampads in charge of the businesses in the mortal world?” He asked Charon.“Yes, sir. I have done as you asked.”“Arrange a meeting with Aeacus, Rhadamanthus, and Aeacus later. I want to personally give them instructions while I am away.&rdqu

Attendants lined each side of the path and bowed to greet her.“Greetings, Madam.” they spoke with reverence.She bowed in return. She entered the reception’s desk and spotted an attendant assisting a client who had just came in. The receptionist, Phaedra, saw her and immediately bowed in respect.The madam walked out of the reception area and into the arboretum. Ascalaphus, who was cutting the shrubs into various shapes, stopped his task to go to her side. He bowed his head.“Encountered any problem with the greenery?” Angelique asked.“They are coming along nicely, my lady.” He matched her pace as she walked around.“How about the seedlings in the conservatory?”“I have assigned a c
