[Greek Mythology] The Confusion of the Goddess of Beauty

Silence, deathly silence...

When Hermes finished the last word, the whole cave suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Only Kui Yin in the sea of ​​consciousness was too surprised to chatter non-stop.

[Kui Yin: Oh, I'm going!Miss Hera's operation is exciting! ]

[Kuiyin: But is there anyone who misuses her priesthood like this! ]

[Kui Yin: Do you really plan to follow Hera's wishes and become a partner with Hephaestus? ]

[Um. ]

[Kui Yin: Awesome!In the future, you can see a large green grassland! ]

Hermes glanced at Hephaestus, whose whole body froze after he finished speaking, and frowned imperceptibly, then he looked at the silent Aphrodite, lightly There was a hint of worry in the green eyes, and the other party's expression that hadn't changed made him even more worried.

He wanted to comfort Aphrodite that things might not be as bad as he imagined, but since Hephaestus was also present, Hermes couldn't say much.

"Aphrodite," Hephaestus said suddenly at this time, his dry and hoarse voice was particularly abrupt and ear-sounding in the originally silent cave.

The god of craftsman with unparalleled forging technology seems to have recovered from the initial shock. Great joy invaded his brain, but it didn't last too long. At this moment, it was replaced by deep anxiety And nervous, mixed with a kind of humble self-mockery of his lame body and ugly appearance.

How could a guy like him with a disabled body and an ugly face deserve to be the most beautiful god in the world.

Aphrodite must hate him...

Thinking of this possibility, Hephaestus' heart began to ache faintly.

His dark eyes were filled with Zhi Geng's face. After he clenched his hands and took a deep breath, Hephaestus moved his lips and said with great difficulty: "If... If you, Aphrodite...are unwilling to accept...I can go to my mother and ask her to take back her will..."

There was a trace of pain and choking in Hephaestus' tone. He spoke intermittently, with a low and hoarse voice. Although it sounded a bit vague, the meaning he wanted to express to Aphrodite was very clear. .

After finally finishing speaking, I saw that Aphrodite did not respond, nor did I look at him, Hephaestus

His heart suddenly sank as if it was filled with cold lead, he just stared at Zhi Geng, his heart became cold little by little, obviously the surrounding lamp flames were burning so intensely, and obviously the flames surging in the stove were so scorching hot, He Huai Storrs only felt that it was so cold that the swishing wind was poured into his bones.

Zhi Geng looked sideways at Hephaestus beside him, seeing his expression as if he was about to cry.

"Why don't you want to?" Zhi Geng's lips raised an invisible arc.

Facing the eyes of Hephaestus that suddenly burst out with huge light, Zhi Geng's beautiful face was as proud and dignified as ever. He squinted his eyes halfway, slightly raised his delicate chin, and expressed a quiet and cold expression. There was an indistinguishable emotion in the voice: "After all...it's rare for the Queen of Heaven to have such thoughts."

Hermes was still a little worried about Aphrodite at first, but now seeing Hephaestus being easily controlled by Aphrodite, he felt relieved and seemed to understand why he was so angry with Aphrodite. Intuit also has the feeling that His Majesty the God King will agree to Hera's decree.

The more you love, the more humble you become. If your heart is subdued to the dust, there is nothing to be afraid of, because it is so easy to handle, as long as Aphrodite expresses the slightest unwillingness in their relationship, then they The character of Hephaestus will never be more than half a point.

In this way, the god king agreed to Hera's priesthood prayer and let Hephaestus marry Aphrodite. Aphrodite was wronged in this marriage, because in front of the simple and honest Hephaestus, Aphrodite would be absolutely dominant.

The news had already been brought, and Hermes, who needed to go back to reply to the order, did not wait any longer, and he had already thought about it in his heart. He only said a few words of farewell, and then quickly returned to Mount Olympus. .

Due to the extreme concealment of Hera's will, right now, apart from Aphrodite and Hephaestus, the only known gods are Zeus, the lord of the gods, and the messenger Hephaestus. Hermes.

And two days passed by.

On the third day, when the first ray of sunlight penetrated through the floating clouds in the morning, the unique breath of spring began to spread throughout Mount Olympus.

Surrounded by lush mountains, this steep mountain is sacred and majestic, towering above the clouds in absolute splendor.

Although the banquet has not officially started at this moment, the hall of the Olympus Palace is already very lively, and the gods who perform their duties have temporarily put aside those tedious and monotonous tasks, and they are all dressed in gorgeous and expensive clothes. In the pleasant atmosphere of toasting and intertwining.

The beautiful muses dressed in light and bright clothes gathered together thinking about how to make the dance more graceful and graceful later, and the delicate and lovely servants were busy and responded with golden vessels containing sweet fruits and mellow wine in their hands. , quickly and flexibly served these gods who were already too familiar, and brought them delicious food.

Even though such banquets are not uncommon on Mount Olympus, the gods are still willing to participate every time.What's more, this banquet is obviously much more important than every previous banquet.There is no other reason. Two days ago, the queen of heaven threatened that all the gods under the jurisdiction of the god king Zeus must be present at today's banquet. banquet.

The mere fact that Aphrodite might also attend the banquet is already considered an absolute temptation for the gods.

In fact, most of the gods among them have only seen one side of Aphrodite, and this side is still the blessing of the banquet that I don't know how many times.Thinking of having the opportunity to meet the most beautiful God again today, they were naturally so happy that they came earlier than the previous banquets.

At this moment, Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, has not yet arrived. Although these gods are thinking about it, they look normal.They gathered around in twos and threes chatting cheerfully, sometimes gesticulating with their hands, and sometimes covering their mouths and laughing lightly, the whole hall was filled with an atmosphere called joy.It is said that at today's banquet, Hera will announce an extremely important news. They are curious and waiting for Aphrodite, so they can't help but tell each other some of their guesses about this news.

After Apollo entered the banquet hall, he glanced around, and finally found Hermes drinking in Dionysus in a relatively secluded corner.

As if feeling Apollo's gaze, Hermes looked towards the direction of this gaze, and saw the sun god who always had a bright smile on his face at the banquet, walking towards him with a slight frown. , Hermes raised his eyebrows, raised his wine glass and smiled at Apollo.

Apollo twitched the corners of his mouth and politely smiled back at Hermes. After standing still beside him, Apollo asked directly: "Dear Hermes, is the news that the queen Hera is going to announce today relevant? About Hephaestus?"

These days Hera's attitude towards Hephaestus has been uncharacteristic. Everyone knows how much Hera hates the existence of Hephaestus. For this ugly and inconvenient Vulcan, Hera's eyes The contempt and discrimination in the Chinese Communist Party have never been concealed.

However, in the past two days, Hera not only took the initiative to summon Hephaestus, but even put on a kind and bright face, and even raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.The sudden change in Hera's attitude towards Hephaestus made Apollo feel a little uneasy, and he consciously told him that it was most likely related to the news Hera was going to announce today, and Hermes, as the envoy of God, , must know the reason for this.

"Oh, Apollo, the handsome and personable Sun God, what you guessed will naturally come to the Queen of Heaven's mouth after a while." Hermes replied ambiguously, and after he finished speaking, he took a sip from his glass. Wine, the mellow wine stimulated his taste buds, and his light green eyes narrowed in pleasure.

Seeing Hermes' appearance, Apollo knew that he might not be able to get any specific information about that news from the mouth of this smooth and treacherous god of eloquence.He pursed his thin lips, a thought flashed in his mind, and after taking a deep look at Hermes, he didn't say anything, just found an empty seat and sat down.

Not long after Apollo took his seat, Ares also stepped into the banquet hall.When the gods saw this god of war, who had always advocated killing and fighting, there was not much expression change on his face. After all, the Queen of Heaven specially emphasized the importance of this banquet that was different from the past. As Helaming's most beloved The son of the famous God of Battle will come, which does not surprise them.

The Goddess of Timing, holding plants and flowers, stood at the entrance of the banquet. At this moment, thoughts appeared on their pretty and dignified faces. It was because they were calculating how much time was left before the banquet began.

The gods, who were originally chatting together in twos and threes, chose seats one after another after Onomia, the goddess of timing, came in to inform them that the banquet was about to start.

Because Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, was in their hearts, these gods stretched their necks unconsciously after sitting down, and glanced towards the door intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing that the banquet was about to begin, God King Zeus and God Queen Hera had already taken their seats, but they hadn't seen Aphrodite's figure for a long time. These gods couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and even brought the mellow aroma that they loved so much in the past. The fine wine suddenly became tasteless after drinking it in the mouth.

Zeus sat at the top, gently shaking the exquisite wine glass in his hand, and the mellow and rich aroma of the wine floated into the air along the mouth of the glass.Seeing the expressions of the gods Yiyi in his eyes, Zeus slightly closed his eyes, raised his head and took a sip of wine. His handsome eyebrows and eyes were lazy and casual, revealing a natural temperament, calm, But not angry.

Hera squinted at her husband, the most noble man in the entire God Realm, even if he was so casual and careless at the moment, he couldn't conceal his incomparable kingly aura and absolute majesty at all.

Originally, in the name of the goddess of marriage, she made a wish to make Hephaestus and Aphrodite a partner. She just had the mentality of giving it a try, but she didn't expect Zeus to agree.

No one knew Zeus's flirtatiousness and flirtatiousness better than her. Her husband would agree so easily, and she naturally guessed the reason for it.

But so what?

What she wants is the result of the most beautiful god marrying the ugliest god.Because that alone is enough to relieve my anger.

As the most beautiful god in the world, he had to marry the ugliest god in the end, how ironic it is!

Thinking of the news that will be announced later, Hera's mood was immediately very happy, a bright smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and a moving brilliance flowed from those beautiful water-like eyes, mixed with A smug look of fulfillment.

Even if Aphrodite and Hephaestus, who were the parties involved, were not present, it did not affect Hera's mood in the slightest.

Apollo looked up at Hera's expression, his thin lips were pursed straight, there was no smile on his face, and there was a hint of worry in his blue and clear eyes like the sea.He clenched the wine glass in his hand, and the unexplained uneasiness in his heart became more and more obvious.

Ares, who was sitting diagonally across from Apollo, saw Apollo's return to normal, and wondered why the Sun God, who was always smiling brightly, suddenly tightened his face today.

Could it be related to the news that his mother god Hera is about to announce today?

Ares was wondering why, but Apollo suddenly glanced at him at this time, his eyes were cold, obviously he noticed his scrutiny.

Ares suddenly realized why he suddenly started paying attention to Apollo. Could it be because of Aphrodite?

Thinking of this possibility, Ares' face darkened immediately, and he picked up his wine glass a little annoyed and drank alone.

Hera sat on a throne made of gold, the most noble goddess in the god world, with beautiful curly hair pouring out from under the crown, exuding a beautiful and peaceful expression.

Her eyes swept over the faces of the gods below Yiyi, her petal-like lips parted slightly, and she said in a clear and melodious voice: "The cuckoo, which is favored by the fragrant mist and warm sun all day long, has flown away." Going to the lush and green woods, singing began, and the delicate lily buds overflowing with dew also began to bloom and sway. The gorgeous and proud peacock no longer scattered its empty chest, but opened its colorful and dazzling tail. Seek a companion as sweet as ripe honey. I pray in the name of the gods of marriage, the cuckoo, the lily, the peacock, sing the melody of faithfulness, Aphrodite and Hephaestus Si, will be each other's partners, bound by marriage."
