[Greek mythology] Queen of the gods

Looking at the fair-skinned boy who was not taller than her shoulders, and hearing his words that were almost begging, Hera only found it funny. Why did he stay?

To put it bluntly, it’s just that the seemingly well-behaved Tartaros in front of him treats Hera as a plaything, but it’s a pity that he is the son of the former god king anyway, so how can he listen to this brat? As soon as the words of refusal came out, someone replied in advance: "I think Hera, as the main god of Olympus, shouldn't come to Tartarus anyway."

Except for the tall blond guy in this familiar voice, Hera couldn't think of anyone else who could say the majestic meaning in this voice.

Turning around, I saw Zeus angrily entering the main hall of Tartarus regardless of the obstruction of those little gods, and glaring at Hera, because just looking at the current scene, he knew that Metis had escaped from his life. Palm, to put it bluntly, this is clearly the worst-case scenario for Zeus.

And the instigator of all this is Hera who is now smiling at Tartaros and wants to say something!

But Zeus didn't know that when he was full of complaints to Hera, the face of the immature abyss master was also full of expressions of dissatisfaction with Zeus.

"I'm asking Hera, young son of Cronus, what position do you have to answer for others?" Tartarus didn't call Zeus by name, but used such a contemptuous name to remind Zeus that he was just a newcomer. A generation of gods, when Tartarus was questioning, Zeus was not even qualified to intervene.

As soon as the words fell, Tartarus lost interest. He slightly pushed back his black robe embroidered with gold thread, and sat on the front chair in resentment, deliberately asking if he was excited by his words just now. Zeus, who was even more angry, said: "Young son of Cronus, why don't you stay on Olympus and toast with your so-called subordinates, why are you willing to move your noble steps to come to me?" What about here?" Every word contained sharp and piercing sarcasm, and Tartarus deliberately gave Zeus a sneer at the end.

Zeus knew that this was a trick by Tartarus to provoke him, but he gritted his silver teeth and temporarily calmed down his anger so that the corners of his lips would rise more naturally, "I think you should ask me this question His elder brother—Hera." Zeus threw the ball to Hera with a bright smile.

Hera shrugged her shoulders and said helplessly, "I just helped a poor goddess end her unfortunate engagement. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Tartaros stroked his white and immature palm, and said with admiration and understanding: "Of course, yes, there is no doubt that, as the god of marriage, Hera, you have fulfilled your due duties!" Tartaros The black eyes rolled slightly, "This is much better than those gods who only know how to accept offerings from the world but don't know how to return them!"

These words couldn't be more obvious to the blond-haired, blue-eyed guy in front of him, but even though Zeus knew the irony in the words, he didn't dare to easily speak to this young man who was actually millions of years older than himself. The guy got angry, so he had to grit his teeth and show a smiling face, and continued to ask: "But isn't it too reckless to end the marriage contract on your own initiative without the husband's permission?"

Hera's expression was even more indifferent, and she said calmly: "I think Zeus, you may not know that Themis, the goddess of law, not long ago made a law that wives can unilaterally pray to the god of marriage to dissolve the engagement."

"Themis? It seems that Zeus is also the object of marriage proposal." Tartarus replied selfishly, showing a small canine smirk: "Doesn't Zeus know that his object of marriage has made such a law?" Did Themis make this law without discussing it with you? Or did she have empathy after seeing what happened to Metis, and worried that she would also be destroyed by that terrible fiancé, so she made such a hasty decision? Lay down this law? It seems that your future marriage relationship is really questionable, how about Hera, you can also help them dissolve their unfortunate marriage?"

Hera heard Tartarus' words of killing people without blood, and couldn't help laughing secretly, saying that the master of the abyss of hell is indeed a wonderful person.And Zeus's face was almost distorted, the original handsome and cheerful did not leave half traces, leaving only a gloomy face, only to hear him say in a low voice: "Thank you for your concern, but the body of Metis' child is still flowing. My blood." Zhouston paused, as if he was organizing the most sophisticated excuse, and sure enough, he turned into a happy man, "I think I have to take him back to Olympus to cultivate him, maybe he is still mine. The heir!" Saying this, even Zeus almost believed that he was a good father who loved his children.

But Tartarus has never been like Zeus. Over the years, he has not seen the hypocrisy of the gods who came to Tartarus to inspect. Speaking of which, this man has not been a god king for a few days. The lie of the blond kid is so weak that it couldn’t be weaker. Tartarus smiled with a touch of sarcasm, "Oh? Really? Did I blame you, a good father who is hardworking and hardworking?" Tartarus Deliberately biting the pronunciation of the words 'good father'.

Zeus didn't care, but continued his fake excuse, "If you can return the child to me, then my painstaking efforts will not be in vain."

"But I'm sorry, Metis has promised to serve me for the rest of my life, until the soul is destroyed." Tartarus said with embarrassment.

Zeus still smiled brightly and said: "That is Metis' promise, and it has nothing to do with the child in her womb."

"Zeus, what do you think of me here?" Tartarus' eyes darkened a lot, and his gloomy temperament was fully exposed here. Seeing such a gloomy black-haired boy, Hera couldn't believe that he was really innocent that day. Evil face.

I heard Tartaros sneer again, the laughter made people stand on end, even Zeus, who is the king of gods, couldn't help being intimidated by this seemingly harmless boy, only to hear Tartaros scorn He said: "Since your lord is willing to serve me for life, then everything about him should be mine. Since your child is still in the womb of Metis, it is Metis's property, and it is mine." !"

"But..." Is it possible to just leave the unstable factor that is predicted to overthrow him here?Zeus was not reconciled, let alone relieved. He wanted to say something, but when he looked up, he saw Tartarus smiling meaningfully at him, which made him not understand why.

Hearing Tartarus regain his childlike delicate voice, "If you can agree to one of my requests, I might consider letting that child go back with you."

Hera frowned, is Tartarus planning to play Metis?This is not quite like the underworld, the style of the guys from hell.

Zeus said without thinking: "As long as I can do it, I am willing to use everything in the world to complete this transaction."

Tartaros rested his snow-white cheeks, looked at Hera standing aside with dark eyes and smiled, "If you can persuade Hera to come here to die for me, I may be able to return the child to you." To be honest, compared to the interesting gods like Hera, Tartaros is really not interested in overthrowing the king of gods. Besides, he only promised Metis to protect her, and he didn't say that even the children would be with him. No matter, so Tartarus didn't feel guilty at all, and thought that his deal was the most cost-effective and fair.

Hera's face is not very happy, dare these guys think of themselves as something to exchange?Just because my divine power is the weakest one here, can I be at the mercy of others?

Seeing Zeus who was about to speak, Hera was about to give this brazen guy a blow in the back, so that he would understand that he was also a child of Cronus, and Hera was not a fish on the board. Zeus said indifferently, "I don't think I can fulfill this request."

"This should be easy for Zeus, who has become the king of gods?" Tartarus' dumb hair curled up in dissatisfaction, and Zeus said without changing his face: "Hera is mine. Brother, I have no right to decide whether he will stay or not."

After listening to Hera, she was very satisfied with the answer. It seems that this younger brother knows how to respect the elderly, but since the question has been given to herself, Hera has to give her own answer. I believe it will make Zeus feel ashamed. Hera Ra thought viciously.

"Tartaros, I think I would like to stay here."
