[Greek mythology] Queen of the gods

Hades, the home of the dead.

Silence is the best adjective for it, no matter how the outside world intrigues and turns the world upside down for power, it seems that it can't affect the loneliness of this place at all.

Only the souls that come and go are constantly shuttling in the dark water that has entered the afterlife.

It's a pity that there are always restless guys who intend to destroy such an alternative "paradise".

Hades placed the old parchment in front of him, and when he was about to pick up the quill to write something, he heard the sound of "tapping" footsteps.Hades, who always liked to be quiet, couldn't help frowning when he heard this voice, and his eyes became darker, while Hecate, who was still sorting out the classics, had already understood the impatience of being disturbed by his Pluto.

Before the sound of footsteps stepped into the empty palace, Hecate asked the sleeping god who disturbed all the peace in the coldest tone—Hypnos, "Hypnos, it seems that you finally Freed from the endless sleep? Is this rushing sound just your music to celebrate this event?" Who said that the people in the underworld are not good at speech, look at this goddess of the moon who satirizes people one after another of.

As for Hypnos obviously aware of his impoliteness, he quickly apologized to Hades and Hecate: "Dear Your Majesty Pluto, and the goddess of Pluto, please forgive me for getting too much The shocking news made me rush to report this to His Majesty Pluto, otherwise I would never leave my big soft bed." After that, Hypnos stayed where he was quietly, just waiting Hades' gesture.

Hades put his slender fingers on his forehead slightly, put the quill aside, looked at the sleepy god in front of him who was running so fast that his face turned red, lowered his slender eyelashes and said: " Speak."

Hypnos immediately reported the news that woke him up from his sleep, "Dear Your Majesty Pluto, this matter may be extremely bad for you, but as your loyal subordinate, even if I know how much you will feel sad , I have to tell you the whole thing myself, and I hope you will understand that I am thinking of you." After speaking, seeing Hades nodded slowly, Hypnos said seriously: "Your Brothers, the red-haired son of Cronus may soon be deprived of his qualifications as a god forever by His Majesty the God King who rules everything." Speaking of the latter, Hypnos's final sound was a little Trembling, not to mention the two gods who heard about it.

"Hypnos, isn't this the nonsense you were talking about in your dream?" Hecate tried to calm himself down, after all, this matter was so sudden that anyone who heard it would take it as a big joke, but it was just a joke It's not funny at all.

Hypnos pointed to his heart and solemnly promised: "This matter is absolutely true, I would like to swear to Styx."

Hecate frowned, as calm as she was, she was disturbed by the news for a while, but Hades's expression did not fluctuate extraneously, as if he was listening to someone who had nothing to do with him being raped. Zeus was generally punished, but the thin layer of cold sweat on the fingertips seemed to reveal something.

And Hecate immediately said: "Dear Your Majesty Pluto, if someone else encounters this, I will only pass by my ears as a breeze, but that god is your brother, let my stone cold My heart can't help but start to shake." Hades didn't respond to Hecate, but looked at Hypnos, who was still a little tired, with pupils as deep as the night, and said, "What else? Hera is What caused this bad luck?"

Hypnos rubbed his delicate chin, trying to recall all the rumors about this matter, and it took him a long time to come up with a sentence: "It is said that he disobeyed His Majesty the God King and tried to overthrow the brother who is also your brother. God-King's rule..." After speaking, Hypnos' voice became softer, and he didn't dare to tell those weird rumors to His Royal Highness Pluto, who is now not happy or angry.

"Where is Hera now?" It took Hades a long time to return to Hypnos, and Hypnos hurriedly replied: "Now he is probably just imprisoned by His Majesty the God King, because the majesty who cannot be violated in the slightest The God King wants to find a good day to punish the red-haired son of Cronus in public, to deter those gods who complained about him in private."

"This..." When Hecate was about to say something, she saw that Hades seemed to stand up, and she couldn't help frowning and said, "Your Majesty Pluto, don't you want to rescue him?" That red-haired brother of yours?" As she spoke, Hecate vaguely thought about it, and she stood in front of Hades regardless of etiquette, and bowed to him with the most sincere etiquette before solemnly saying: " I may understand your feelings, because I have also seen the funny but proud god of marriage in Tartarus. I believe that you would never want to see your two younger brothers fall apart because of power. Fighting each other." Seeing Hades stop, Hecate continued, "But if you save your elder brother so rashly, you may bring disaster to Hades."

After hearing this, Hades didn't move his slender body anymore, but just remained silent for a long time, "I didn't think about it." But it didn't mean that he just watched Hera being deprived of his godhead, so His dark eyes turned to Hypnos who seemed to be falling asleep again, "Hypnos, I want to trouble you to take care of my unreasonable brother."

"Hypnos serves His Majesty Pluto at any time." After that, Hypnos was about to leave the temple to inquire about Hera's news for Hades, but he saw Thanatos coming with a person Hypnos thought that some unyielding souls were sent by Thanatos to Hades to judge their whereabouts, but he did not expect to have a face-to-face with that person. The pace stopped because of this.

Just because that person is not someone else, isn't it the god of marriage that I mentioned just now?

Hera!How come here!

Hypnos looked at the red-haired male god in disbelief, but the red-haired male god didn't notice Hypnos and followed Thanatos' footsteps to Hades.

And Hades lost his mind a little when he saw the familiar pair of red eyes in front of him, but Hades is Hades after all, and no one can understand the true emotions hidden under his pale face , even one as wise as Hecate is no exception.

But when he saw Hera in front of him with a haggard look, and saw the unnatural scratches on the robe that was originally sewn by the most ingenious Athena in Olympus, Hades frowned in a rare way, but his voice still asked without any ups and downs: "Hera, why do you look like this?"

Unexpectedly, when Hera heard Hades' question, a wry smile appeared on her haggard face, "My dear brother, have you also learned Zeus's 'ask knowingly'?" Seeing that Hades was silent, Hera Then he said self-consciously: "You know, I suffered this bad luck because I offended my moody younger brother, the king of gods, and I managed to escape from his surveillance, so I came here to seek you in this kingdom of death." s help."

Hecate on the side listened, and a strange light flashed in her purple eyes. She first saluted the embarrassed god of marriage before seriously asking: "It's a pity, Hera, I didn't expect You and I will meet again in this way, and I still remember how high-spirited you were when we met in Hades last time." Hecate recited the word "Hades" very emphatically, as if to remind the person in front of him Generally speaking, it's a pity that Hera in front of her was ignorant, she only knew to be immersed in her endless pain, and replied casually, "Hecate, I didn't expect that we would meet again in this way."

But Hera didn't come to Hades purposely to catch up with Hecate, and soon he changed the topic back, completely oblivious to the coldness towards him in Hecate's wise eyes , and Hades also looked thoughtfully at how the haggard god of marriage complained about his miserable fate.

"Do you know? In fact, my disaster is not entirely my own fault, but more for your respectable brother." Hera said in a complaining tone, but the strange thing is that Hades He didn't ask him why, but considering that the king of Hades has always been reticent, Hera had no choice but to sing this one-man show by herself, hearing his tone of desolation, "Do you know? If it wasn't because you were Frame and steal Leihuo, I won’t be killed by that hateful Zeus just to speak for you!”

Thanatos, who hadn't spoken for a long time, showed a very contemptuous smile at this time, "Why don't we know what thunder and fire His Majesty Pluto was framed for stealing? Is it the toy in Zeus's hand?" Carter and Hades glanced at each other, but their hearts were much clearer.Hades was okay, and Hecate rarely showed a chuckle that didn't belong to him, but Hypnos, who had been in a comatose state for a long time, was still in a foggy state.

However, Hera in the audience seemed to only remember how to reprimand Thanatos, and didn't care about the strangeness here at all, so he lowered his red eyelashes and said as if he was remembering something: "Brother Hades, You may not know that before Zeus entrusted Leihuo to Cyclops and the others to take care of them, Leihuo disappeared unexpectedly. What is even more annoying is that the only thing left on the scene is the token of the underworld—daffodils. It's all about framing your taciturn elder brother!"

"I believe that Zeus is not so stupid as to think that I made it when there is a daffodil." Hades seemed to be tired, so he brought the old parchment to himself again and prepared to write something with a quill. What.

And Hera continued to tell his long series of stories without giving up, "Indeed, Zeus shouldn't have questioned your innocence because of this daffodil flower that came from nowhere, but he did it anyway, you Do you know why?"

Hades didn't reply, but Hecate smiled contemptuously at the corner of his mouth, "Hera, I haven't seen you for so long, it seems that you like to ask people questions."

But Hera didn't pay attention to Hecate's "kind" reminder, he only thought about how to tell Hades who was extremely silent in front of him everything he "saw".

"That's precisely because Zeus himself stole Thunderfire!"
