[Greek Mythology] Beside the Throne

To celebrate the queen's return, Mount Olympus is about to hold the next banquet.

On the eve of the banquet, Apollo found Ganymedes.

"Aren't you afraid?" Apollo asked Ganymedes under a banyan tree outside the temple.

There is no one here and it is covered by bushes, so few people can find it.

Knowing what Apollo was referring to, Ganymedes shook his head.

He can be sure that Hera has bad intentions for him, just from the cold eyes that made him bone-chilling before.But even so, as a mortal, what can he do on Mount Olympus where there are many gods?

What's more, Hera is not just an ordinary god.

Facing the enraged Queen of Heaven, Ganymedes had no power to fight back.

Understanding the helplessness in Ganymedes' eyes, Apollo offered to send him to his Temple of Light for refuge, but he refused.

"Your Highness, don't forget that I am still the 'lover' of the God King." Ganymedes said lightly, looking at Apollo's passionate blue eyes.

"you……"

Afterwards, he saluted the God of Light, the eldest son of the God King, and then turned and left, leaving Apollo standing stunned in the setting sun.

"Gani, why did Brother Apollo pull you?" Hebe asked the nymphs on the holy mountain to prepare for tonight's banquet when he saw Ganymedes coming from outside.

"It's nothing, Your Highness just wished me not to make mistakes in tonight's banquet." Ganymedes smiled at the pure goddess.

"Really?" Heber said, "That's really extravagant, you only need to pour wine for God the Father."

There are all kinds of drinking utensils in front of her, and she is choosing a suitable wine glass for this banquet.

"What do you think of this?" Hebe said to Ganymedes, taking a wine cup carved from ocean spar.

"Very good." Ganymedes said perfunctorily, who was worried.

Putting down the wine cup, Heber carefully observed his face and said, "Gani, what's on your mind?"

It was impossible to tell Hebe that Hera was hostile to him, so Ganymedes had to shake his head.

When Heber saw it, he didn't continue to question him, but he was a little worried about him.

Probably because of the Mother God.This idea came to Hebe's mind, but he didn't think she said it.The nymphs who came to ask Heber about various matters of the banquet took her away.

Before Heber left, he gave him a slightly worried look.

The Goddess of Youth, who was well protected by the Queen of Heaven and the gods around her, didn't know how bad the fate of those goddesses, fairies and mortals who were persecuted by Hera for her dark deeds would be.

Maybe she knew it but never showed it.She is willing to believe that the marriage of God, King and Queen is still perfect and there is no problem, even if it is just a lie to deceive herself.

Night is coming soon.

Under the dark night sky, the feast of the gods was staggered, and the tableware on the table was filled with melons and fruits, and the aroma was overflowing, making people mouth-watering.

Ganymedes, who was performing his own work, stood loyally beside the throne of the king of gods, holding a jug in his hand, pouring fine wine for Zeus.

This time is different from the last time, beside the king of gods, there is the owner of the golden seat—Hera, the queen of heaven.

The beauty wearing the golden crown is different from other female gods that Ganymedes has seen. She is noble and dignified but does not conceal her own beauty.Yet she is intimidating.

Ganymedes didn't dare to look at her more, so he lowered his head and looked at the silver pot in his hand.

His evasion and retreat did not allow Tianhou to let the person who insulted her go.

God King's favorite boy?

Thinking of this, a mocking smile appeared on Hera's lips.

Putting down the wine cup in her hand, Hera turned her head to look at Ganymedes who was standing by and said, "Are you the prince of the mortal king who was brought back to Olympus by the king of the gods?"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ganymedes replied respectfully.

Zeus looked at the scene in front of him without speaking, his eyes were as dark as the night sky tonight.

Hebe, who was pouring wine for the gods, heard the words of the mother goddess. She stopped and looked at the gods and Ganymedes sitting in the highest position in front of the steps. Apart from her, the other gods also looked in the direction of the god king.

Many gods speculated in their hearts what would happen to Ganymedes when the queen returned.

Although the god king is romantic, and even though he will make an illegitimate son to become the main god, he will not oppose the queen of heaven for a lover.

Some female gods quietly sighed the wrath of the Queen of Heaven for Ganymedes because of his appearance, but there were also many who watched the show, such as Hypnos, the god of sleep.

Hades is not as interesting as Olympus.

Triton, the prince of the sea realm, is also curious about what will happen next.

Will Zeus oppose the newly returned Hera for his lover?

In the eyes of all the gods, the Queen of Heaven turned Ganymede into a water bottle.

"Since you are His Majesty's wine sommelier, let's become a real wine utensil." Tianhou said as she touched the transparent water bottle carved like crystal with her slender and fair fingers.

"Do you like it, Your Majesty?" the Queen of Heaven asked Zeus beside the Golden Throne.

The God King smiled and did not answer, he wanted to take the water bottle from Hera's hand.But Hera took a step back at this moment, the water bottle fell to the ground, and the fragments flew like meteors.

"I'm really sorry." Hera didn't care, she sat down gracefully, her every move was extremely dignified.But she knew that after sitting down, her hands in the sleeves were trembling.

She did such a thing, will Zeus forgive himself?Thinking of how she was still yearning for Zeus' love, Hera felt ridiculous.

The feast of God did not end because of this episode.

To the surprise of the gods, Zeus was not angry at all.Could it be that his friendship with this beautiful young man is so shallow?Thinking of this, I can't help but feel that the kindness of the God King is unpredictable, and I feel even more terrifying and dare not resist.

Hebe witnessed everything, the jug in her hand fell to the ground like the water bottle before.

She ran out of the banquet, and Ares, the god of war, saw her sister's behavior and did not catch up.

He lay down in the soft arms of the Goddess of Beauty, Aphrodite, and drank the fine wine from the cup, his handsome and resolute face was full of murderous aura.

"Did your sister not react at all when she ran out as a brother?" Aphdillotte leaned close to Ares's ear and almost whispered.

With a warm breath in his ears, Ares pulled the Beauty God over and kissed her rose-like delicate red lips.

Letting go of Aphdillotta, who was panting softly and unsteadily, Ares said indifferently: "Let her go." He had no patience with this naive and stupid sister.

Hearing this, the Goddess of Beauty chuckled lightly.Continue to feed the Ares Grape with your mouth.

Seated opposite them were gods from Hades and the sea.

Triton really didn't see the mutual behavior of Ares and Aphrodite, and then asked Hypnos: "When will you do what you said?"

Amphitrite, the queen of the sea, sent a message to let him go back to the ocean, and he will not continue to live in Olympus as he is about to leave.

"Just tonight." His silver eyes were illuminated by the candlelight, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth that never changed for thousands of years.

The feast of the gods was over, and they went back to each other.

Apollo, the god of light, went to the throne of the god-king to collect the broken pieces of the water bottle on the ground.Artemis, the goddess of hunting, stood behind her brother and said, "Hera is as vicious as ever."

This jealous queen can do whatever she can to hurt her husband's lover or the children born outside.

Apollo ignored her.

The shards in front of his eyes were crystal clear like ice and snow, and seemed to be broken at the touch of a touch.

"Where is this?" Triton waved away the accompanying maid who was following him and followed Hypnos around Olympus.At least that's how it seemed to him.

"It's almost there." Hypnos said reassuringly.

They avoided the nymphs and other gods who came and went, and finally after half an hour.Hypnos found that place.

"Now it does, take out your horn and blow it."

Triton's accompanying artifact is a conch.When blowing it, giants with divine power will be moved by the powerful divine power attached to it.

Of course, another use is to break the enchantment set by the gods.

In this unremarkable place, Triton blew the conch.The sound of the conch will not reach the ears of the gods, which is a unique divine power.

The enchantment gradually dissipated.

A quiet path leads to an unknown place.

Sleeping God walked into it first, and Triton followed.
