[Greek mythology] Queen of the gods

Leto didn't expect Apollo to answer like this, and he couldn't say a word of rebuttal, so he could only stammer and say, "He took away the treasure you should have from your hand, which shows how selfish he is. the gods."

But when Leto said this, it was too unnatural, so Artemis used her wise eyes to see through the hypocrisy of the mother goddess, and said coldly, "Is that true?"

Leto obviously hasn't fully practiced Zeus's ability to open his eyes and tell lies, so he doesn't dare to look into Artemis' clear blue eyes.

Perhaps Apollo couldn't bear to drive this unfortunate goddess of the night to a dead end, and said slowly: "Mother God, even if Hera snatched the oracle of Delphi from me now, I think I would be willing to see it." The red-haired son of Cronus became the new master of Delphi."

Apollo wanted to say something, but Leto interrupted, "Enough!" After seeing the flash of shock on the faces of Apollo and Artemis, Leto realized that he was so different from the usual The gentleness was completely inconsistent, and he hurriedly changed to the appearance of the poor mother whose child was taken away by Hera just now, "My children, you are still too young to avoid being so cunning..." Leto saw Artemis swallowed the bad words in his unkind eyes, and continued: "As your mother god, seeing you like this, what can I do, I can only use my heart as broad as the sea Come to receive you."

Artemis only felt that it was too much effort to talk to the mother goddess, so she said directly: "If you are here to forgive our mistakes that don't exist at all, then I think we have already understood, and we are willing to Feel guilty and blame yourself for what you think is wrong." Seeing what Leto had to say, Artemis said again: "I think this is the end of our conversation."

When Leto saw that the Sun and Moon siblings wanted to leave him quickly, his heart ached even more, but this made Hera feel a little funny. To be honest, Leto was just the nominal mother of the Sun and Moon siblings. , Their "biological mother" is someone else, I really don't know why Leto wants to win the favor of the siblings so sincerely.

Could it be that Yun was pregnant and had feelings?

After another look, Leto straightened his face, and finally said what he wanted to say: "As your mother god, I really don't trust you who are so ignorant and weak to go to Hera again."

"So what do you want?" Artemis and Apollo vaguely guessed the purpose of their mother god's night talk, but they still hoped that the mother god would be more interesting, otherwise there would be trouble among the three of them. Not good looking.

However, things are always going in the worst direction, and Leto still said the words that no one of the Sun and Moon siblings wanted to hear, "I hope you can come back to me." As if to make himself appear more helpless, Leto And sadly said: "This is just a small wish of a mother who loves her children."

"Then why didn't you take us back when we were born?" Apollo asked after a long silence.

Leto quickly argued: "It was Hera who forcibly took you away!" Then, Leto began to cry again, and against the background of the moonlight, she became more helpless and desolate, "Otherwise, I would never I will bear to watch you leave my side."

With such an attitude, Apollo couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic, but his sister didn't have his soft heart, and directly exposed the loopholes in Leto's words, "Stop being hypocritical in front of us, if you insisted on pleading with Father God Zeus, In this matter, I believe he will never let us separate from you!"

"I..." Leto was speechless at Artemis' accusation, and Artemis looked at Leto with a cold smile, and Leto felt cold all over the smile, "That's because We are not good for you when we were just born." Every word of these words was sarcastically spoken by Asteria, piercing Leto's softest heart.

"Asteria..." Apollo was not that decisive after all, but Asteria's next words made Apollo doubtful of the extremely weak goddess in front of him.

Against the backdrop of the moonlight, Asteria's figure was slimmer and taller. She lifted her delicate chin a little proudly, "Apollo, have you forgotten how we were treated by other gods when we were young?"

Apollo's face froze, he never forgot the humiliation during that time and the dull pain in his heart.

"Do you know why we are treated like this? Obviously we and Athena are the children of His Majesty the God King, so why those gods refuse to look at us?" Asteria said bitterly He said, "It is because we are not loved by God the Father when we are just born!"

Apollo's face darkened, Father God didn't like their siblings, Apollo knew it vaguely, it was just because...

Artemis did not answer the question in Apollo's mind, but directly questioned the pitiful black-haired goddess in front of him, "Because we are not loved by the Father God, you must be afraid of being angered by the Father God. When you leave us, I guess you are also happy to see it, right?"

Before Asteria said this, Apollo still had some expectations for Leto. After all, she is also his mother goddess, but seeing Leto's expression clearly exposed by Asteria, he was terrified. Apollo had mixed feelings for a while, how should he face this helpless and pitiful mother goddess?

As he said that, Asteria, who was originally cold-faced, calmed down a lot, and there was a smile on his face, but the smile was somewhat bitter, "Although I don't know why, Father God doesn't despise you as much as before. We, do you think we are useful to you? Are you thinking of taking us away from Hera who accompanied us through the most difficult years?"

Hearing what Asteria said, not to mention Leto, Hera, who was watching secretly from the sidelines, was a little embarrassed to hear Asteria boasting of herself like this.

It turns out that I have such a positive image in the hearts of the Sun and Moon siblings!

"No, no..." Leto seemed to want to refute something, but she sadly found that she couldn't find a reason.

But seeing Apollo who was hesitating aside, Leto's dark eyes glowed again, and he held Apollo's hand and said sincerely: "Apollo, you know the mother god's sincerity, right?"

Unexpectedly, Apollo gave her a bitter smile, that smile was particularly pale under the reflection of the moonlight, "I don't think we want to see you for the time being." Saying that, he brought Artemi, who was trembling a little earlier, As he left, he knew that his sister was just pretending to be strong, and Tuli Leto wept bitterly in the same place.

As for Hera, who was still peeking at the same place, she only felt that she had watched an eight o'clock show, and what was even worse was that in this play, she seemed to be a super villain who taught the children not to bear the poor mother!

Even so, Hera still showed a gratifying smile on her face. It seems that this bear child was not raised in vain, or else he would grow up to be a white-eyed wolf who bit him back. Three liters of vomiting blood!

Just when Hera was thinking about how to reward the Sun and Moon siblings for their performance, the gentle eyes of the sad goddess flashed a hint of evil.

Hera didn't notice these sporadic changes, but he frowned impatiently because someone slapped his back heavily, but remembering that Leto was still there, he was afraid of being discovered by her, so he could only snort. .

Unexpectedly, the guy behind knew what Hera was thinking, leaned close to his ear and said softly, "Don't worry, I've set up an enchantment here, and Leto won't find out." But when that guy said "Don't worry" Hera sneered at the two words, thinking that you are the most disturbing person here?

His blond brother who always has a bright smile - Zeus!

"It's an honor. You actually arranged this barrier specially so that I would not be discovered by your old love." When Hera faced Zeus, her words were always thorny. He continued to release his smile indifferently, "Why is our relationship closer than Leto's?"

"Really?" Hera didn't believe the sincere smile on the blond boy's face at all. Even if Persephone didn't tell him about it, he would never accept the "sincerity" that the god king showed for a while. "Let go of your guard."

But Zeus didn't seem to understand Hera's implication, but patted his chest as a guarantee and said: "Of course, I dare to swear in the name of the king of gods, my love for you Hera is absolutely different."

Of course it is different.

Seeing that Hera's face remained the same, and he was not moved by what he said or sneered, Zeus slowly calmed down, and the bright and charming smile on his face gradually retracted, but the corners of his lips always had that contemptuous width, "But Even if my affection for you is different, you are not allowed to offend my dignity with the wind of sleep god."

Hera tilted her head halfway to look at Zeus, whose eyes were full of temptations, and suddenly smiled, "I just used my divine power to keep you from disturbing me."

"Of course I know, if it were someone else, I would have been thrown into Tartarus long ago, but I still cannot forgive you for such behavior, even though my heart is comparable to that vast sky." Zeus was serious He said what he had thought about a long time ago, and Hera heard it, and remembered the goddess of "sorrow" who was not yet perfect in acting, and raised her eyebrows directly: "My dear brother, how can you face me like this?" I am really impressed by your acting skills when you say this without being angry, maybe if you have time, you should have a good exchange of acting skills with your old Eletor."

"Hera, don't you think I set up this enchantment just to tell you this?" Zeus's eyes flashed a hint of sternness, but his slightly rippling dimples concealed it well.

If it was any other god, they would have thought that the god king was here to complain, but Hera had already seen clearly the fangs of his arrogant and conceited younger brother who thought they were deeply hidden.

Hera had to pay attention to this fang, he didn't want to be played like a fool, let alone become a victim of Zeus' anger without knowing why.

"Are you here to settle accounts with me?" Hera didn't look at Zeus, because it was too exhausting to look at him, but Zeus deliberately walked in front of him, and looked at Zeus seriously with his clear blue eyes. He stared intently at the red eyes of the elder brother in front of him.

"I just want to punish you a little bit, can't I?" Zeus showed a playful smirk on his face, as if he only wanted to punish his brother for being naughty.

Because only in this way, his plan will be easier.

But what he didn't expect was that the elder brother who could see through all his thoughts said jokingly at this moment, "It's up to you." Hera looked extremely comfortable, as if she didn't take Zeus's words to heart.

This kind of Hera made Zeus dare not act rashly, but asked a little tentatively: "Did my brother who is so indifferent to the extreme change his temper, and would satisfy my brother's stubborn request so easily?" Zeus's sapphire His eyes were full of suspicion, and he hoped to see through what this elder brother was thinking.

Too bad he never saw through.

And Hera's next words made him have to take his next move, "My dear brother, noble king of gods, I think you went to Hypnos to take his gentleness before you came to me. The sleeping wind, right?" Hera's red eyes reflected the figure of Zeus at this moment, which inexplicably made Zeus feel oppressed by being peeped into his own secrets.

"This... I just want to play a little joke with my beloved brother." Zeus tried to make his words sound natural, but what he didn't know was that Hera had placed an enchantment from him. At that moment, every word he said was retaliated with the greatest malicious speculation.

But Hera really wanted to know how Zeus would use the weapon Rhea gave him to deal with him, so he pursed his lips and let his gaze on Zeus be as gentle as possible before saying slowly: "In that case, Zeus, just kidding!" Go." Hera looked at Zeus with gentle eyes like a gentle brother who spoils any pranks of his younger brother, which made Zeus slightly dazed.

But Zeus is always Zeus, he will not be confused by the gentleness on the surface, he just feels more and more wrong, as if all his plans were known in advance by Hera, this feeling is worse than when he was broken by Typhon to be miserable.

Seeing that Zeus was hesitant to make a move, Hera pretended to say unintentionally: "There is only one chance." After that, Hera pretended to undo the enchantment set by Zeus and gently touched it with her fingers. The barriers that cannot be seen with the naked eye.

But Hera's feather-like words touched Zeus's heart that was eager to try.

Yes, there is only one chance!

Regardless of whether Hera really knew it or pretended to know it, after the matter is completed, Hera will no longer have the confidence to say such things to herself!

Now that Hera is so easy to let herself take the first step, why is she timid like a little girl!Thinking of this, the smile on Zeus's face became more and more charming like a bright star. He slowly leaned towards Hera, like a poisonous snake meeting its favorite prey, and stared at Hera closely, not daring to let him escape. the palm of your hand.

"My dear brother, I am extremely honored that you have selflessly satisfied my stubborn little brother." Zeus stretched out his palm, and saw the familiar wind of sleeping god condensed into a ball, As if waiting for someone to blow it away so that it could bring someone else a blissful drowsiness, Zeus was the one who hoped it would bring Hera a drowsiness.

If possible, he would like time to be permanent.

In this case, it is good for everyone.

Zeus breathed the sleepy wind at Hera, and blew it gently, and Hera lay down quietly. At this moment, Zeus's smile showed real tenderness, "It's rare that you are so witty, I I think I will accept you, my brother who is always against me, with a heart like the sky, and at most I will not drive you out of Olympus."

As he spoke, Zeus looked at Hera who was lying on the green grass with satisfaction.It's strange to say, I don't know whether the moonlight tonight is too beautiful, or the quietly blooming flowers are too delicate, but it makes his red-haired elder brother look more handsome and beautiful than before.

Zeus knew that his elder brother Hera was one of the few male gods who could match his appearance. Otherwise, Aphrodite's eyes, which are used to seeing beautiful boys, would not even entangle the so-called reservedness of the goddess He is the elder brother who rejects her thousands of miles away and avoids her like a snake and a scorpion.But the strange thing is that Zeus never seriously admired his elder brother's face. Now I think it must be because of Hera's opposition to him all the time. Otherwise, how could his eyes that love hunting and beauty miss such a beautiful man.

For some reason, a ray of breeze quietly broke into this isolated area, even though a barrier had been set up, and a bright red rose fell on Hera's face, unstoppable from the wind's entanglement. The face was more translucent than before, and the tightly pursed lips became more and more beautiful like roses, as if tempting me to take a bite at any time, so as to savor the sweetness and deliciousness here.

Such a scene is too seductive, watching Zeus's throat roll, it seems that there is a flame called desire in his heart entangled himself.Calculating that it had been a long time since he had had fun with nymphs or male gods, but thinking of Hera's previous evil deeds, Zeuston lost interest. We know, I am afraid that he will have some boring introspection.

After all, this plan is already the biggest concession Rhea has made. If Zeus wants to put Hera in a more embarrassing situation, Rhea will never call him his most beloved son again.

After weighing it, Zeus decided to make a quick decision, and saw that he first clenched his hands tightly, forming a fist, and then slowly stretched out his palm, and saw a small and delicate dagger in his palm Slightly suspended.Zeus looked at the dagger, and at Hera, who was lying on the ground, showing a triumphant smile, thinking that his brother's rare kindness, he probably never thought it would hurt him!

Maybe it wasn't because he swore to Rhea that Hera's divine power was no longer as strong as before. Zeus probably stabbed his elder brother with a dagger in the heart at this moment.

I want to think about it, but the time cannot be delayed by Zeus, after all, the time for Zeus to set up the enchantment is not too long.Even if other gods saw it, Zeus could use all kinds of coercion and temptation to keep him a secret, but Zeus didn't want the perfect plan to have even the slightest flaw.

So he walked quickly to the side of the sleeping Hera, looking at the profile of the most perfect sculpture, he was a little dazed, but after all, Zeus had seen too many beautiful things, he would never do it for this For a moment, An Ran's exquisite sleeping face stopped his actions to defend the divine right.

Besides, nothing made him so excited. Seeing his proud elder brother who always mocked him and found that he lost his strength soon, Zeus's heart was full of excitement when he thought of the flustered look that would appear. Bang bang!

Thinking of this, Zeus tightened his hand holding the silver dagger. He used his blue eyes to see where Hera's godhead was, and his smile deepened. With a "wow", Zeus I thought it was the noise from puncturing the fabric.

But in less than a moment, he immediately understood that he had failed, and the secondary godhead was not impaled as imagined, and disillusioned like a bubble.It was because Zeus had already discovered that the pair of red pupils that could see through him were staring at him without blinking, and its owner was gently and deftly grasping his hand holding the dagger.

Did he suddenly wake up?Do you have to explain yourself?

The answer is naturally no, Hera neither woke up suddenly nor needs Zeus's explanation that is definitely full of flaws now.

"My dear brother, don't you think this kind of joke or the punishment in your mouth is too much?" Hera's eyes were full of contempt, and he looked at Zeus looking at him in a condescending manner , A trace of displeasure flashed across his red eyes, and while Zeus was still stunned, he pushed Zeus down on the green grass and held the dagger instead.

This posture does not look like Zeus is trying to do something to him, but Hera intends to kill the king of gods.

"You don't have the Wind of the Sleeping God at all?" Perhaps it was because Hera got closer to him that Zeus felt the faint light on Hera's body.And Hera pursed her lips and smiled, just like the spring breeze in March, but Zeus couldn't ignore the mocking meaning.

"My dear brother, do you really think that I am your good brother? Would you do this to your so-called "revenge" once?" Hera smiled comfortably, but seeing Zeus's scalp tingle, it was obvious that Hera was right again. He is always like this, three points of ridicule, three points of contempt, why does he feel that Hera seems to have something else today?

Those things that he couldn't understand were hidden under those red eyes, a darker side!

Sure enough, Hera continued to attack him mercilessly, "Zeus, you always think that others are idiots, so you didn't even pay attention to whether there were any hidden watchers when you took the dagger that could strip the godhead from Rhea! "

"Could it be you!" Countless figures flashed through Zeus's mind at this moment, those delicate nymphs, honest-looking gods, and even Hermes, his most trusted envoy.Seeing the unpredictable changes on Zeus's face, Hera taunted him ruthlessly, "I'm afraid you would never have guessed who told me the secret."

That's right, the little girl with brown hair and eyes as bright as emeralds.

Thinking of her, it was rare for Hera to show a comfortable smile in such a tense situation, but in Zeus' eyes, he only thought it was Hera's pretended expression to continue humiliating him.

"Being discovered by you, I have nothing to say." Zeus tried his best to keep his expression calm, so that his aura would not be inferior to the red-haired god of marriage in front of him. He would never allow himself to show it in front of this guy. Not even a trace of incompetence or even cowardice.

But when Hera saw this scene, the smile on his face became more intense. His delicate eyes were slightly bent, like two crescent moons hanging on his delicate face, and he said in the softest tone: " Don't you want to beg for mercy from your brother who was kind enough to be a sin in your eyes?" As he said, even Hera looked at Zeus with a softer gaze, as if Zeus only wanted to plead with him. Hera can really let him go.

Zeus's conceited wisdom has always been online. When Hera said this, he calmed down a lot, and even glanced at Hera with disdain, "Oh? Why should I ask you, the mere god of marriage? plead?"

Hera's bony right hand passed through Zeus' curly blond hair, seeming to give this 'naughty' brother a gentle caress, but in the next second, Hera slightly exerted force, which made Zeus feel displeased. Frowning, he was about to stretch out his free left hand to open Hera's restless right hand, but he didn't know that this move was like a stupid sheep walking to the mouth of a wolf, but Hera grabbed his left hand at the right time.

"I don't think you are qualified to negotiate terms with me now." Hera looked at Zeus leisurely, not wanting to miss even a trace of panic on Zeus's face, but unfortunately, Zeus was much more tenacious than he imagined, and Zeus bit his white buttocks. teeth, looked angrily at this high-profile god of marriage, and said with hatred: "I am a noble god-king, do you really dare to do anything to me?" Perhaps this is the case, there is something called confidence in Zeus's heart , and deliberately turned his head to the side to avoid entanglement with Hera's eyes and said: "If you really did something, I believe that not only Rhea, but even the gods will not forgive you!"

When Hera heard this, the smile on her face did not change, "I dare not do anything to you?" Hera bit the end of the words very hard, which made Zeus think in every possible way. Before he could figure out why, Hearing Helana's voice like a clear spring hitting a stone, said: "Don't forget, how did you come to be the king of God?"

Isn't it just stepping on Cronus' corpse and climbing up step by step?

Thinking of this, Hera's smile became more and more indifferent, so indifferent that Zeus could hardly believe that the guy in front of him was the bastard who often opposed him, "Didn't our family gain supreme power and honor through killing relatives?" ?”

"You want..." Zeus didn't want to say the words buried in his belly, he was afraid that Hera would respond so frankly.

"I also want to know how delicious it is to ascend to the throne of God King through killing relatives, what do you think? My dear brother?"
