[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

Melos was standing beside her, not knowing what to say for a while.

That's someone else's business after all.

Amphitrite looked fascinated by the undead in the lake, and did not speak for a long time.

"May I take the liberty to ask you a question?" Amphitrite suddenly said, "Your name."

Melos shook his head lightly: "Persephone."

He couldn't tell the other party his name, even if Haihou expressed kindness to him, but Melos could tell her only this name.

Amphitrite paused, just smiled, did not call the name, but called His Highness the Empress of the Underworld.

Melos chuckled a few times: "It's okay, I don't mind." He looked in the direction of Pluto's palace, "I didn't mind anymore a long time ago." For him, there is really nothing with Hades important.

Amphitrite followed his gaze with a bitter smile.

"I have always envied this place. It was like this when there was only Hades here. Now that the underworld has two masters, I am even more envious." She said softly. "You know what, it's very quiet here."

"I thought you would be afraid of such silence." Melos said with a chuckle, "Many people who were forced to stay here for a while couldn't bear this atmosphere, and were finally frightened by the cries of the undead here."

"They are just stating the resentment and pain in their hearts. If you listen carefully, all the cries are worthy of sympathy."

"Really?" Melos sighed irrelevantly, "I can't hear you."

Amphitrite's eyes fell on him, and there was a little envy in her soft eyes, but also fragility: "That's because you are not like me, living so close to an undead."

Melos frowned slightly.

Amphitrite mentioned this matter, and Meros remembered that this sea queen often visits the underworld. If she comes here every time because of the dark emotions in her heart, then...

"You know what you're doing, but you don't intend to pause, do you?" Melos looked at her in surprise.

Amphitrite nodded towards Melos, with an unconcealable sadness in her smile.

"Does Poseidon know?" Melos asked softly.

"Maybe I know, maybe I don't know." Amphitrite's head was still resting on the knee of her bent foot, and she looked at Melos sideways at this time, looking a bit childish.

But Melos could feel her sadness from it.

"But he never has time." Amphitrite smiled wryly. "Conquests take up most of his time. Whether he wins or loses, whether he succeeds or not, all he can think about is how to defeat Zeus. If the expansion own field."

Melos looked at Amphitrite with some surprise.

He used to think that all of Amphitrite's sorrows were caused by Poseidon's lover, but he didn't expect...

"Surprised?" Amphitrite asked.

Melos nodded honestly.

"It's nothing to be surprised about." Amphitrite didn't seem to mind complaining at all, or she was very sure that Melos would not tell anyone what she had said to Meros.

I have to admire Amphitrite's intuition. The first time she saw Meros, she didn't know about Meros. She only knew about Meros' queen of the underworld, and knew that Meros was not Persephone.

This kind of information alone is enough for her to determine whether Melos is worth her bitterness in a short period of time.

"Those people... I understand Poseidon's character. He won't like someone for too long. No matter how deeply he loves, it can't compare to the war he has in his heart."

Melos looked at Amphitrite dumbfounded.

In other words, what the other party cares about is not Poseidon's finding a lover at all, maybe what she cares about is... Because of Poseidon's perennial battles, she is alone in her empty boudoir?

Cough cough... It's not impossible. I think back then Poseidon fought bloody storms to compete with Athena for a city. The dispute between these two militants is definitely not as simple as a verbal battle, although the "story" has briefly described the detailed process , but according to what Melos vaguely heard about the characters and styles of these two people after he came here, Melos felt that it was really unscientific for them not to fight.

In addition, Poseidon does often... Cough, to exchange feelings with Olympus, it should be a common thing that he is not at home all year round.

It's just that I didn't expect that this was actually the root cause of Amphitrite's depression?

Melos didn't know what to say for a while.

Is it because there is a more miserable Hera for comparison that made her feel that it is not the most difficult for her husband to find "dozens of lovers"?Compared with the hundreds of lovers of Zeus, is it nothing?

"When I... was a sea nymph, he promised me many things, but he didn't do anything except give me a gorgeous palace." Amphitrite sighed, "Either the army is traveling Noisy, either his rage affecting the entire ocean, or dead silence. There's only so much he can give me."

"He...doesn't he love you very much?" Melos said dryly.

"He wants to take Zeus's position even more." Amphitrite cried and laughed, "I didn't know anything at that time, and in fact, I still don't know why I agreed to him in the first place."

The legend has never recorded why Amphitrite became the queen of the sea.

There is a saying that Poseidon chased her so hard that she was exhausted, and finally the dolphins carried her into the bottom of the sea, and Amphitrite became Poseidon's bride helplessly.

One theory is that under Poseidon's pursuit, Amphitrite seemed to be a little moved, so she became Poseidon's bride.

But no matter which story it is, it reveals Amphitrite's initial reluctance.

Counting Poseidon's relationship history in detail, in fact, many people had sex with him under coercive circumstances. You may not feel too much after reading the text, but after you really get in touch with those people and things, you will be able to understand. Will be touched by it.

No matter how reluctant Amphitrite was at the beginning, at least Poseidon succeeded in one thing. He made Amphitrite fall in love with him, and a sea nymph who liked freedom willingly stayed The bottom of the sea became his queen.

Maybe there are really some people who would rather be free than restrained, and stay in that cold or noisy palace day after day, which has become the source of Amphitrite's negative emotions.

And the cause of everything is because of Poseidon's breaking his promise.

Melos pursed his lips and asked, "Have you thought about leaving him?"

She was originally a carefree sea fairy, willing to restrain herself because Poseidon loved her, but in the end Poseidon did not value her the most.

Probably everyone has their own longing for love, but Poseidon let her down.

Amphitrite shook her head: "I don't want to leave him."

"But what you are doing now is to let yourself leave him, isn't it?" Melos looked at her suspiciously, "They will take everything away from you sooner or later," he said, pointing to the undead at the bottom of the lake, "There is no one in the world Such a good thing, you use them to suppress your negative emotions, but their appetite will only get bigger and bigger."

"I know." Amphitrite said softly. She lay on her back on the lake, looking at the dark "sky" of the underworld, and prepared for the future in her words, "Sooner or later, my divine power will become stronger and stronger. The less, even the godhead of the queen of the sea can't repair everything I lost, either, I was pulled into the bottom of the lake, or disappeared on the surface of the sea."

She knows where she belongs.

After she fell in love with Poseidon, after she knew what occupied Poseidon's heart, after she used the Styx to draw away her negative emotions for the first time, she knew her destination.

Either, he could no longer hold on, and was dragged into the bottom of the lake by the undead, imprisoning the Styx forever, or he exhausted himself and turned into foam in the sea.

Or... Poseidon stopped his incessant war and returned to her.

"But that's fine." She murmured, "The sea fairy's life shouldn't have been so long in the first place."

Amphitrite said nothing after that, and by the time Meros noticed, she had fallen asleep.

She is already a god with the queen of the sea, and there is only a little difference from Melos who has the queen of the underworld but can mobilize the power of the underworld. In Olympus, she can be one of the main gods without saying a word.

But it was such a god who fell asleep quickly beside Melos amidst the cries of the undead.

Or rather, a coma.

There was exhaustion on her face that could no longer be concealed, and even her beautiful face turned pale.

She is consuming herself.

Meroth sighed and let the vines carry her back to the lake in the forest.

After that, he walked slowly towards the palace.

In the inner hall, Hades was looking at something, Melos walked to his side, hugged him from behind, and buried himself into his shoulders.

The man put down what he was doing, pulled his hand back, and directly pulled Melos, who was still behind him, to the front of him.

Melos didn't panic, but calmed down and changed the position of his hands, then continued to wrap his arms around his neck, leaning on his chest.

"Is there no way to save her?" Melos asked in a low voice.

"Poseidon doesn't know about it." Hades clearly knew who he was talking about.

"Did you...didn't tell him?"

"kindness."

He has never been someone who likes to meddle in other people's business, and letting Hai come to the underworld is already an expression of his "caring", although it is not a good thing.

"Poseidon...will regret it once Amphitrite dies."

"I don't know." Hardy paused, "Amphitrite can last for a while."

"yes……"

It's only been a while.
