[Greek mythology] Queen of the gods

As Hera's loyal subordinate, Argos would never feel pity just because Hermes in front of him was still a child.Argos lost his youthful appearance and turned into a giant with hundreds of eyes that the gods dare not look directly at, walking step by step towards Hermes, who was tightly bound by chains.

Due to his huge size, his steps are also quite heavy. Every step he takes leaves deep marks on the ground.

Seeing such a behemoth, Hermes even forgot the pain of his tender skin being strangled by the chains. He puffed up his face and stared stubbornly at the coming 'butcher', wishing that he was so insignificant. The momentum can scare away this terrible monster.

But this is obviously impossible. Seeing that Maia's bright lips turned whiter, she ran to the Hundred-Eyed Giant desperately, pulled the hem of his robe, and begged bitterly: "My dear!" Argus, please don't kill my poor helpless son."

It's a pity that Argos only obeyed Hera's orders. He directly ignored the sad goddess of wind and rain, and squeezed his huge palm to test his strength, so that Hermes could go to the Hades at once. reports.

Seeing the hundred-eyed giant getting closer, Hermes couldn't help crying again, "Hera, as the main god, you actually sent such terrible subordinates to deal with a newborn and so weak god like me! "Speaking, Hermes stared at Hera's cruel and ruthless face with brown eyes full of tears.

But Hera still had a half-smile on her face, "Hermes, I'm just bullying the small with the big, so what about you?"

Hearing Hera's words, Hermes was completely desperate. He thought that he could rely on moral condemnation to make Hera compromise, but who would have thought that the red-haired son of Cronus was so frank, which is called the undecided son of Cronus. Hermes, who had lit up his exquisite talent, was at a loss for a moment.

I saw Argos' huge palm slowly waving towards his clever little head, and the mother goddess Maia was completely in the pain and sorrow of losing her child, and Hermes' brown pupils became bigger and bigger Woke up, and finally when the palm touched his shallow hair, Hermes said what he thought was the most correct sentence at this moment and for a long time afterwards.

"Hera, as long as you let me go, I am willing to serve you for life!"

After getting the answer she wanted, Hera said lightly, "Argos, stop." Both Hermes and Maia escaped. Only then did Argos bring them deep fear, and the chains also responded in time. He let go of the thief so that he and Maia could cry together.

Hera frowned when she heard the endless cries of mother and child, but the astute Hermes quickly sensed Hera's impatience. Respected etiquette, respectfully said: "Dear Hera, I will remember your kindness today, and if you have a place to send me in the future, I will always obey." Immediately afterwards, Hermes' brown eyes Turning around nimbly, he said, "If you are willing, I would like to be an envoy of God to serve by your side at any time."

Hera still admired the reaction of the little god who was less than half his height, but he still looked serious, and said in a cold voice: "I have countless attendants, not to mention that Aerys has long been my trusted envoy. I don't need a newborn god to replace her." Seeing that Hermes wrinkled her small face as if she was being disliked, Hera couldn't hold back her seriousness, and laughed , but then coughed a few times and replied: "However, you can become a useful god and travel through the Three Realms. As for whom to serve, it depends on how you choose, and I will also get or receive due to your future duties. More or less in return."

When Maia heard this, a trace of melancholy flashed across her charming eyes, and she thought to herself, isn't this just asking Hermes to be Hera's eyeliner in secret?It would be fine if it wasn't found out, but once it was found out, it would be difficult for Hermes to gain a foothold on Olympus.

Obviously, Hermes also thought of Maia's worries, but in less than a second, Hermes' brown eyes were full of determination, and he said solemnly to Hera: "I swear to Styx, no matter what I do in the future Regardless of my duty, I will tell what I know and see to the second son of Cronus who forgave me today with a heart wider than the ocean—His Royal Highness Hera.”

Hera got the promise from Hermes, nodded her head, and seeing Apollo's still resentful expression, she said: "Hermes, although I forgive you, you must pay Apollo a crime for stealing cattle." Confession."

As for how Hermes made up for his mistakes, Hera didn't care, he believed that this clever and cunning little guy would make Apollo forgive him.

Sure enough, within a few days, Hera saw Apollo playing the lyre from nowhere with a smile on his face, and sincerely praised Hermes for being a clever boy.Apollo even gave Hermes a staff of two snakes because of the pleasant melody of the lyre, and indirectly found him a job-guiding the undead.

But unfortunately, Apollo's kindness was not fully accepted by Hermes.After all, to meet those gloomy gods of the underworld every time, to Hermes, it was more terrifying than Argos crushing his head.

So he quickly looked for his next job.

It didn't take long for Hera to hear that Zeus directly promoted Hermes to be an envoy beside her because of Hermes' intelligence. This really surprised Hera. You must know that in this era, Hermes Mess is not the son of Zeus, and it is absolutely impossible for Zeus to let a child who is only born of the goddess of wind and rain and has not been born for a long time be an envoy to convey his will!

Hera really didn't know whether it was a historical inevitability or whether Hermes was born to do this job. In the end, he could only sigh that gold can shine everywhere.

But no matter how well-informed Hermes was, there were still things he couldn't hear.

Just like Gaia, the mother of the earth, who is chattering in the palace at the moment.

"Zeus, start destroying the human beings I just created!" When Gaia said this, her face was almost distorted and completely out of shape.

She held her nails bitterly, even the slight pain in her palm could not wake her up from the endless hatred, "It seems that I didn't teach him enough lessons last time."

Thinking of Zeus's increasingly cynicism towards him recently, Gaia's always hypocritical mask can no longer hold on.Suddenly, a sneer crossed Gaia's face. Since Zeus no longer wants to obey her, then someone else should take the seat of God King, who can be seated by anyone as long as he has the strength...

"My lovely son overthrows those hateful fellows in Olympus for your mother god."

"Yes, mother goddess."
