[Greek mythology] The troubles of Adonis

What Adonis didn't expect was that the strict and cold Pluto quickly accepted this seemingly absurd fact.And it can also be seen from the attitude towards himself and the inexplicable seedling that he has integrated into the role of Father God very happily.

... If it is not for my firm opposition, I am afraid that I will be poured water several times a day by the other party who is too worried.

Fortunately, the Lord of Hades is very busy with his official duties. Leaving aside daily affairs, the gods of Olympus, who were unwilling to be humiliated, also caused a lot of small troubles to Hades. The mosquitoes and flies circling the lion are annoying enough, but it is no easier to actually drench the grass blades sheltered by malicious eaves than to drive away the dead time plague.

On this day, the vegetative god who has become more and more lethargic recently just woke up—he thought at first that Hypnos was acting on orders, but after questioning, he was denied by the other party. It is this vigorous and growing seedling reflected in the clear mirror.

It was taken care of by Hades in every possible way, and it felt his gaze in an instant, and shook the leaves at the father god who conceived it in a fawning way. It was as docile and docile as a goat under the command of a shepherd, with unconcealed joy satisfy.

...It also exists as an irrefutable evidence that he had the closest contact with Hades that can only be obtained between husband and wife.

Adonis only felt that his emotions seemed to be divided into several parts. He could not help loving his child, but at the same time he could not help rejecting everything that this represented. The reason that most convinced him not to hurt the young plant was It was the existence of the other party that allowed his memory to recover little by little.

Even if it was quite vague... Adonis had to admit with a guilty conscience that there was indeed a part of swearing at the River Styx.

"Your Highness Adonis!"

The Ming pomegranate, which was dozing off at first, couldn't help cheering, and it became more and more fat and wobbly. When it jumped up and down excitedly, the other pomegranates on the large cluster of yellow-brown branches were seeded together. After scolding it several times in fear, it calmed down a little.

"you?"

Its shadow is not uncommon in the recovered memory. Adonis was surprised, how could it move here for no reason?

After looking around for a week, I realized that the room, which was originally deserted and without any extra furnishings, had undergone great changes. Not only did the soft cushions and gorgeous carpets occupy a large area, but many exquisite and ingenious decorations made this huge space full of beauty. It looked dazzling, and around the large bed were the few plants that caught his eyes the most on weekdays—including the Pluto pomegranate, which was regarded as a great contribution in the eyes of Pluto, was also lucky to be transplanted in, revealing his emotions. There is excitement and anticipation of getting this honor, but also faint anxiety.

Restricted by nature, Hades, who is not good at words, chooses to express his heart silently, and does not hide his expectation and joy for the only heir.

Unlike the lord of the sky who is good at rhetoric, who played with the love of a beautiful lover and then categorically abandoned him, Pluto is more like a dry wood smeared with turpentine. Before touching a hot fire source, it is always dry and cold to the touch , Don't talk about child's play.

"Honorable Queen of the Underworld," Adonis's expression changed only slightly, which was enough to startle the guards who were always watching his every move.Bai Yang's incarnation bowed down respectfully, "May I ask what we are lucky enough to do for you?"

Hades had always been quiet in the past, and even the palace where he lived was rarely allowed to have divine presence.This time, I want to ensure that the Empress of the Underworld feels comfortable and safe even when I am busy with official duties. For the first time, I bestowed the pure spiritual power of the most loyal poplar trees, and the only task assigned to them is to thank you. It is to take good care of this equally taciturn plant god.

Unlike other subordinates who naturally surrender to the Queen of Hades because of the supreme majesty of Hades, their worship of Adonis, who is born close to plants, is forged by ancient piety and will not wither Obsessed with wear and tear.

Adonis did not want to embarrass them: "The undefended fertile land is always favored by the nasty wild boars. For the land I created with my own hands and regard it as the continuation of blood, I am worried that they have already encountered trouble. If the trip does not receive If His Majesty is in control, I want to go out for a walk."

The poplars replied with a smile: "Your Majesty has not restricted your travel, and he has already foreseen this point. The needle pine surrounded by the inside and the lava flowing outside are the barriers specially erected for the land that is valued by you. , even the best jumping antelope can't harass that paradise, there are always rebels who get lucky and will be severely punished."

Adonis didn't expect Hades to be so thoughtful, so he said after a while: "I would rather say that satisfaction after witnessing it with my own eyes."

The Poplars naturally didn't stop them, they just nodded silently and consciously followed behind him.

When he walked out of the dormitory that he hadn't stepped out of for many days, the carriage exclusive to Pluto was already waiting there quietly.The majestic black horse lowered its head willingly.They are not as unruly and unruly as those fierce horses that need Apollo's painstaking efforts to control, they are always very docile to their recognized masters, only the black horse whose leg was injured by Adonis squeaked a few times uneasily, hooves Planed in situ.

Although Adonis didn't remember it, he felt it was very familiar. He couldn't help staring at it several times before getting into the carriage.

However, before he sat still, he inexplicably leaned over to his side. At first glance, it was clear that there was nothing there, but it clearly conveyed an extremely mysterious sense of intimacy.

Adonis tentatively asked: "...Your Majesty?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the figure of Hades who took off the invisibility helmet instantly appeared in front of his eyes. At the same time, he naturally stretched out his hand and carefully wrapped it around the waist of Hades.

"Ok?"

Hades was still dressed in ink clothes that would make the night feel ashamed, and his face with profound features was very handsome. He had many similarities with his two brothers, but without the slightest bit of cynicism, he was as perfect as a marble statue carefully carved by a skilled craftsman .The robe rippling with the movement is the sea waves competing with the black clouds, and a pair of deep black eyes are fixedly staring at the young man he admires, which contains deep and surging emotions and desires, just like an eagle looking up at the stars in the dark night The dove is like a traveler holding a light in the dense forest.

As if being scalded, Adonis shifted his gaze: "Isn't His Majesty busy with official duties, why would he show up here?"

Hades couldn't help recalling this sentence, and then replied after a pause: "Of course it's for you."

Adonis didn't like this big battle at all, and declined politely: "Since Bai Yang is here, there is no need to bother you."

Pluto said decisively: "They are not as good as me."

Poplars lowered their heads in unison.

Adonis thought he would feel a headache, but when he heard the other party's tone of course, he smiled: "...just walk a few steps in your territory, why do you need to go to war? I It's not like a weak calf who doesn't know the depth and has no power to protect itself, and the place you are going to is not a dangerous valley where a lion hides. Besides, as the supreme commander of the underworld, you have already shouldered many tasks, and I am powerless to assist you , why create trouble and increase the burden?"

He thought that these words were reasonable enough to bring the wayward king back to the right path, but in the end what he got in exchange was only the other party's confusion.

Hades whispered: "I want to accompany you because I love you. I welcome you as queen for the same reason, not because I want you to share the work for me."

This confession was straightforward and without warning, which made Adonis’s cheeks burn slightly: “Time is precious, but what the immortal gods have is not as fleeting as the sight in the eyes of autumn cicadas. It exists anytime, anywhere, without clinging to a moment."

After hearing this, Hades frowned slightly, leaned over suddenly, kissed the soft petal-like lips like a sneak attack, and sighed: "Only when the love is not deep, can the attachment be shallow."

Adonis was taken aback in a daze.

He gradually remembered Aphrodite's tiresome entanglement, and it was the coveting of the owner of Thor's Staff that made him have to avoid the Hades. Ares, an innocent rival in love, never thought that the majestic cloak of "love" that the gods of Olympus put on for mischief all the year round is actually as beautiful as the nectar that wets the grass leaves in the morning.

Seeing the beloved queen wandering in the sky, Hades, who had finished stealing the kiss, was also contented not to disturb him, just grabbed the rein and tugged lightly, making the clever horse roll up the wheel, and walked in the right direction at a leisurely pace go.

In the end, what interrupted the God of Plants' tangled thoughts was not the expected cries of the deer, nor the noise of the parrots, but...

"quick!"

The golden apple that stunned Adonis climbed dangerously on the branch of the pine tree. It hated the wild boar for trying to steal itself and ruin the comfort here, so it commanded the vines in a high-pitched voice: "Finish!" The stout one binds the haughty hoof fast, the tiniest whips it hardest, the wise moss lays snares for him to trip when he breaks free, so that the moss, like the dapple that ravages the wild, The boa constrictor is as hideous as the wild boar, being locked up and unable to move, struggling crazily, only to die of exhaustion."

Although Hades couldn't understand what it was yelling at, the main condition for promising to keep the golden apple at the beginning was that it could keep a low profile. At this time, everything in the bushes was completely different from what he wanted to show to the queen, so he couldn't help but wrinkled Frown.

Adonis didn't recall anything related to the golden apple. After casually glanced at the bunch of emerald greens that could only be judged to be a wild boar from its outline and disgusting gloomy bark, he smiled again. A timely joke: "Corals are soft when washed in sea water, but they are weathered and hardened when they fall into dry land. You, who are in charge of the soul and the power of the underworld, are powerful, but I may be better at driving green spirits."

Hades unconsciously returned a smile with a similar arc: "Of course."
