[Greek Mythology] Beside the Throne

When I first came to hell, the underworld was only established for a hundred years.

It's impossible to say that Rhea's eccentric Hades doesn't care.But as time went by, Hades gradually became indifferent.Simply, the God of the Abyss treated him well, and Nix, the Goddess of the Night, even sent her twin gods Thanatos, the God of Death, and Hypnos, the God of Sleep, to become a member of the gods of the underworld.

The gods of death and sleep are the earliest gods of the underworld, and they have the status of veterans.

Today, things are almost handled.That's why Hades had this moment of leisure.But holding the ancient books that have been handed down and reading against the slow and dark flowing water of the Styx River.

Hypnos, the god of sleep, once teased Hades why Hades built his palace on the edge of the River Styx.You must know that the Styx River has always been a place that the gods fear and dare not approach.Whoever falls into it will be washed away from their divinity and erase their godhead.However, Hades replied that it was because the manjusawa beside the River Styx bloomed beautifully.

This surprised Hypnos a little.He didn't expect that Pluto, who has always been so indifferent, even inhumane and completely ice-like, would build his residence next to it because of the beauty of the flowers.

Pluto, who doesn't like to talk and doesn't like to have any expressions on his face, is not facial paralysis, and he also has gods who like things and care about them.

Maybe he can take this time to visit his younger siblings.

Sit in Hestia's Temple of Vesta, or go fishing with Poseidon in his ocean?

Pluto suddenly remembered that his younger brother Hera once said that he would make wine for him. I wonder if the wine is ready at this time?

Although the book that Hades wanted to read was spread out on his lap, Pluto's thoughts were completely out of it, and he ran away to the sky.

This may be the reason why Hades, the king of the underworld, has collected books in several palaces but can't read them all.

The wind came from nowhere, and it blew off the manjusah flower that Hades put in the book as a bookmark.

The manjusawa that has become a specimen loses its bright red color on the stems and leaves and becomes dark and dull like clotted blood.

Hades sat on a comfortable soft chair and bent down to pick up his bookmark. His long black hair fell on the carpet like silk from a distant oriental ancient country.

"Hades."

Um?Hearing the familiar voice, Hades picked up the bookmark and looked up, seeing his young brother Hera, whom he had not seen for a long time, coming.

"Hera." Hades called out his name happily.Although the god who didn't know Hades seemed to have an indifferent face, Hera could tell that Hades was very happy at this time.

Whenever Pluto was happy, his black eyebrows would not frown together, appearing silent and serious.

The timing of Hera's arrival was so good that he had only just thought of him.Pluto thought.

The seemingly cold Pluto also has his soft side, but he only faces the gods he cares about.

Seeing Hera was seated, Hades summoned the servants who served him.

It was a water fairy who came.Her appearance is not gorgeous, at most it is delicate.The brown hair is decorated with mint leaves, which is also very chic.

Hera couldn't help but glanced twice.Now he has a habit of observing others, not knowing whether it is good or bad.

"Mingta, go get those drinks and snacks."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The maid named Mingta was ordered by Hades to prepare food, and Hera who was present felt a little headache when she heard the word dim sum.

Probably, except for these gods who have been entertained by Hades, no one knows that Hades is a god who loves sweets, especially the kind of sweet snacks.

Hera thought, he probably just needs to get some drinks later.But his expectations were broken. Even the drink had sugar in it, and it was still the kind with a lot of weight.

Seeing that Hera took a sip and then put the cup on the tea table and never moved again, Hades realized that he didn't like sweets anymore, so he wanted to ask Mingta for another afternoon tea without sugar.But was stopped by Hera.

"No need for Hades, I won't eat first," Hera said.

"What about another drink?" Hades asked.

Hades was as caring as ever, and Poseidon Hera and the others went to their parents for their love and care, and he alone made up for it.

Hera shook her head.

"Okay then." Hades said with some regret.Why don't his younger brothers like sweets?

"Hades, I think I have to tell you something." Hera said solemnly, that's why he came to Hades this time.

"Huh? Let's hear it." Hades closed the book and put it on the coffee table. He crossed his legs and hugged his knees with his hands, listening carefully to what Hera would say later.

Hera recalled what happened before, paused and said, "I went to another world."

"Huh?" Hades blinked his green eyes, as if he wanted Hera to continue.

"It's the same time and space as our world." Hera added.

"So? Did you see something there?" Hades immediately grasped the point of Hera's words and asked.

"Yes, it's almost the same as our world, and the history process is faster, but there is only one difference." Hera lowered her eyes, and her eyes that blended the colors of the sky and the sea were full of complex and deep emotions.

"Hades, have you heard of the God of Marriage?" Hera asked.

As Hera expected, Hades shook his head.

He had never heard of the existence of any god of marriage.

"Hera, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Hera looked at Hades, and the white gemstone on his forehead seemed to dim with his melancholy mood.

"In that world there is a goddess of marriage named Hera."

A look of surprise climbed onto Hades' face, but then Hera said something that shocked him even more.

"That goddess is Zeus' sister, and even his queen."

Hera learned all this from the mouth of the three goddesses of timing.

It turns out that there is no God of Time and Space in that world, but a goddess of marriage named Hera, who is also the wife of Zeus.

Knowing this, Hera didn't even want to ask Zeus for answers.But he came back immediately and found his most trusted brother, Hades.

Finding Hades may not solve the doubts in his mind, but Hera needs someone to listen to him and tell his confusion.

"What happened to cause such a contradiction?"

Goddess of marriage, Hera.

God of time and space, Hera.

Who is right and who is wrong?

Hades couldn't answer Hera's question, which was beyond what he knew.

but--

"Hera." Hades stroked the top of his head, just like many years ago.

"No matter what you saw in that world, you may have doubts in your heart, but my brother Hera is always you alone, not others."

Hades had never seen the goddess Hera, nor would she want to.All he knew was the God of Time and Space in front of him, who was his sibling.

"Hera, why are you so worried about this?" Although Hades was a little surprised by what Hera said before, this is not something to worry about.

Hera lowered his head, he didn't know how to express his inner thoughts clearly to Hades.

At the moment when he learned of the goddess Hera, he didn't wonder if there was something wrong with that world, but wondered if there would be a problem with his identity.

The god of time and space praised by the gods?No, only Hera knew that he was born without the emotions of the gods, which made him feel inferior among the gods.Inferiority entangled him like a vine, he could only treat everyone with indifference and pretend to be himself.He also doesn't like to touch foreign objects and other gods, and is only happy to bring them in the small circle he has drawn.Because it can bring him a sense of security.

Thinking of this, Hera thought of Zeus in that world, the god who let him leave his circle to contact other foreign things.

Seeing that Hera didn't speak, Hades swallowed his sigh.

Outside the window, the gorgeous manjusawa flowers are in full bloom, and the eyes are full of endless red.

Zeus stayed in this tavern for a day.During this day, Hera took the three goddesses of timing to other places.Before she left, Hera said to Zeus: "Zeus, although you can't make decisions by yourself after you take the position of God King, the higher the status, the greater the responsibility, but why did you choose me?"

As the goddess of marriage, she should find a partner who is as loyal to marriage as she is, instead of becoming the wife of the god king and serving as a ladder for the gods and heroes to climb up.

Zeus didn't speak, and there was apology in his eyes.

Although she could understand Zeus' behavior, she still couldn't forgive Zeus.Although the fate was not Zeus' fault, the love and love of those years turned into dust and disappeared after all.

Back in Olympus, she is still the wife of the god king, the noble queen.This is her destiny.

Zeus sat by the window of the upstairs guest room. Although the location was not quiet, it could be said to be very noisy, and he could still hear the shouts of vendors on the street selling their goods.But at this moment, Zeus's heart was very peaceful.

If you haven't really loved him, you can just marry a goddess as your wife. Why find Hera?

This is what Zeus did not say to Hera, and it is also something he would never say in his life.

I don’t know if it’s because Hypnos felt that Zeus could become more restrained in Typhon and that someone could stop him when he became the original body, so Hypnos took Typhon regardless of the little monster’s wishes. To live next door to Zeus' room.

Only Typhon didn't dare to do anything excessive, and Zeus didn't bother him and Sleeping God.

The great god king waited for the god who deceived him with a false name in the small hotel on earth, and he didn't complain, just waiting like that, like waiting for his bitter lover.

Finally, his lover returned.It's just that the lover doesn't love him.The God King knows, but he is willing to indulge himself and deceive himself.

If I let my ex-lover know that he will also miss something because of a god, will they laugh to death?thought Zeus.

Zeus is still very clear about his scum.

After leaving Hades' Hades, Hera went to visit her holy place, Hesperides.

Iris looks after the house, and Campe is still absent.

After staying in Hesperides for a day, Hera returned to that world with divine power.

It stands to reason that he should escape, but he came back again.

Maybe the stars at night are too dazzling, maybe the roses under the night sky are really delicate and beautiful.

"You are back." Zeus said to Hera.He didn't ask Hera why she left and where she went.

"Yeah." Hera nodded at him.
