[Greek mythology] Queen of the Underworld

"Your rudeness made Goddess Leto furious. What do you expect me to help you?" Melos sat on the throne and looked at the woman below. She was overwhelmed with fourteen children and the position of queen, how dare she It is no wonder that Leto would let Apollo and Artemis kill this woman's child. In the eyes of Meros, this woman is simply stupid.

"Your Majesty the Empress of the Underworld, I am willing to repent my sins. I can stay in Hades forever. I am willing to accept all punishments. Please let my child live." The woman knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

Melos didn't speak, he just looked at this woman indifferently, in fact, he has been thinking about how to deal with this woman's affairs.

"Your Highness." Akarali leaned into his ear, "You are the master of Hades, and you don't need to hesitate in everything you do."

Melos turned his head to look at Akarali in surprise. The other party seemed to know what his question was, and nodded at him.

Shakanochman was standing on the other side of Melos. At this time, he had already discovered that something was wrong with Melos. This was not Persephone at all. He wanted to speak at first, but Akarari winked at him, so He could only swallow all the questions in his heart and wait until the matter was resolved.

However, no matter what the reason is that the queen of the underworld turned into the young man in front of me, everything he has shown now can make him change a little, at least he is calm, elegant and noble, not the Pol who he has only met once. Like Séphone, he was in a state of anxiety all day long.

The woman was still crying when a man walked in.

"A message from Olympus," said the man dryly.

In the God Realm, besides messengers, there are other ways to send messages to the underworld. Generally, the information conveyed by this method is some simple things. For example, one day, when Zeus woke up, he suddenly felt that he missed coming to the underworld. Hades, I will use this method to send a message to Hades to say good morning, to convey his greetings, that's all, there is no need to reply, nor too much sincerity.

Akarari leaned into Melos' ear and said softly, "One of the ten generals, Gakbel."

Melos nodded: "Come on."

The other party noticed something was wrong as soon as he heard Melos' voice, but he didn't move his eyelids. He took the envelope and walked up the stairs, but at this moment, what he thought in his heart was: So, this is the king sent away. The maid of the underworld, and the reason why several of their generals were left behind.

Melos took the envelope from the opponent's hand.

It wasn't actually an envelope, it just looked alike. As soon as Melos touched it, it turned into a line of text and floated in front of Melos.

That was the news from Artemis. Leto had already learned that this woman came to the underworld in an undead body. Leto knew that this woman wanted to resurrect her child, but Leto Thor was very angry at the woman's arrogance and ignorance, so Artemis sent a message to Persephone, asking Persephone to expel the woman, or keep the woman in the underworld forever, and could not promise to be resurrected her child.

Melos frowned slightly.

From the few short words of Artemis, he has already noticed that the other party's tone is almost commanding. Although he is not his sister, as a man, seeing such commanding words makes him very angry.

In mythology, there is a legend that Persephone was dragged into the underworld because she mistakenly picked a sacred flower that symbolized the underworld when she was playing with the water fairy. An accident happened while picking flowers in the mountains with Athena and Artemis.

He came to this God Realm because everything was in a hurry, so he didn't know what happened at the beginning, but looking at this letter, it seemed that Artemis and Persephone must be very familiar, so Meros I even believe that Persephone might have had an accident while playing with Artemis.

Melos couldn't help being angry at what happened to his sister.

It would be understandable if Persephone played with the Narcissus because of their low abilities, but if the accident happened when she played with Artemis and Athena, then...

Even if Artemis and Athena can't stop Hades, they shouldn't watch Demeter exhausted all over the world looking for her daughter. Demeter couldn't leave Olympus because of the shackles of Zeus. Forcibly leaving God's Domain would only hurt her, but neither Athena nor Artemis spoke.

And now, aren't they good friends? But from Melos' point of view, such a message is full of orders. She seems to be sure that this letter will have an effect, regardless of Persephone. Do you agree.

"Akarali." Melos sat on the throne, looking at the message floating in the air, he couldn't recognize the text but could understand the meaning, and called Akarali in a cold voice.

Akarali knelt beside him and lowered his head: "Your Highness the Queen."

"At the beginning, when I first came to Hades, who was there beside me?"

Akarali raised his head to look at Melos' expression, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Queen, have you forgotten that you and Goddess Athena and Goddess Artemis were picking flowers in the valley, and fell in love with His Majesty Pluto at first sight. 'Disregarding the wishes of the goddesses' asked to come to Hades with His Highness Hades."

"Oh." Melos snorted coldly, but there was not much expression on his face, and the hand holding the scepter gradually tightened.

Sweeping away the words in the air with a wave of his hand, he squinted at the bracelet in his hand, and before he left, his mother's words were worrying in his ears: "If Hades really leaves you in the underworld, don't be timid, don't be afraid, my child, As long as you become the queen of Hades, then remember what your mother said, Hades hates others to threaten him the most, do whatever you want without betraying Hades, and become the queen second only to him , As for mother, you have to trust mother, even if Zeus wants to touch me, he still has to hesitate three points."

Yes, he is the queen of Hades, and he came here with his mother's worries, just to become the queen here.

Melos thought for a while, and finally said, "I can't bring your child back to life."

The woman cried bitterly.

"However." He changed the subject, "They were killed by divine power. I can't bring them back to life, but I can reincarnate them again, and I promise you that the divine power that killed them will be transformed into special special weapons that they carry with them. Power.” In this era, children born with special abilities would not be considered monsters, but only children of gods. "But they won't all become your own children, some of them will be born by other women, and I will take ten years of your life as your punishment for trespassing on Hades, if you mock Olympus again Any god, I will send someone to take the life of your child, and immediately throw you into the river Styx."

The woman stopped crying and looked at Melos with some doubts.

Although the queen of the underworld is an indifferent person, she unexpectedly left a glimmer of hope in her despair.

"Oh, Your Majesty the Great Empress of the Underworld, you are the most benevolent person in the world. I will let my husband build a temple for you, and let the people of my country worship you day and night. Please accept the blessings from the people of a country. Make offerings devoutly, even if these are insignificant to you." The woman said gratefully.

Although her child cannot be revived, the Queen of the Underworld promises that she can give birth to the child again. As long as the child has a chance to be born, she can take the child away from those women and make the child believe that she is their mother. In a few years they will be able to go back to the old days again!

The woman saluted Meros several times.

"Before I send you back, I have something to ask you." Melos stood up suddenly. The scepter in his hand was a head taller than him, but his deterrent power was not small. Even if he pronounced the sentence on the woman, he didn't have too much emotion, "Who told you the way to come to Hades."

It is not surprising to become half-dead and walk into the underworld, but generally speaking, they will walk along the Styx River to the gathering place of the undead, instead of crying day and night in front of Hades' palace to express their grievances.

Someone must have told her this method.

"A woman dressed as a maid told me, Her Royal Highness the Queen." The woman said very honestly, "She told me a way, saying that as long as I do this, I can come to the Hades, and the King of Hades is not here, Her Highness is a A very kind person, said that as long as I sincerely ask you, then I will definitely have my child back."

Although the current answer is not satisfactory, as long as her child can return to her side, she will be very satisfied.

A woman who suffered once made up her mind not to be blindly arrogant again. For the sake of her children, she must get rid of all her bad habits.

"Can you describe what she looks like?" Akarali asked, frowning.

Knowing that Hades is not in Hades recently, it must be a person from Hades, but telling the woman that Queen Hades is very kind, it can be seen that that person has never seen Meros today.

However, no matter whoever leaks the path to Hades without authorization, he will be punished.

The woman described the maid she had seen, and Meros nodded: "I will send you out, and I will do what I promised you, but after you go back, you must write down the card that says how to come to the underworld." Burn it, and never speak of it again, or your country will perish."

The woman nodded in trepidation and saluted Meros again.

"Akarali went to investigate and found out that person. Shakanochman and Gakbel sent her back and watched her deal with all those things before returning."

Gakbel leaned over slowly, indicating that he accepted the order.

Melos then turned and walked back to the apse.

Although the expressions of the three generals who remained in the front hall were different, they seemed to be very satisfied with Melos' handling. Unfortunately, this kind of handling was passed back to the God Realm, but it aroused Leto's dissatisfaction and Artemis' dissatisfaction. frown.
