Hera’s Modern Life - Chapter 16

No one can resist under the wrath of Zeus. Even me, it is already very difficult to maintain a posture that is reluctant to fall. At that moment, I was really scared. As long as he was willing, he could do anything to me. There would be no pleading by God, nor would there be a protest from God saying that it was unfair. He is the King of Gods, and everything must operate according to his will. There is no such thing as fairness in his world. In the face of the breakdown of marriage, human beings can go to court to fight for their own rights. But there is no such thing in my marriage. As long as my husband is unhappy, he can take back everything at any time. I ca n’t fight, unless I can have another war of theocracy—don’t joke, this kind of thing should be so easy, Zeus has been overthrown 10,000 times by countless disobedient gods.

None of us are humans, so all the laws and standards of humans cannot be applied to us. At least, according to human standards, even for the purpose of defending one ’s own marriage, is it just as unforgivable at the expense of other people ’s lives? No one came to blame me for not hurting the poor and innocent girls. Even when I occasionally feel good to forgive their lives, they will kneel down and kiss my skirt. The children who were persecuted by me and chased and killed by the family, eventually had to bow their heads in front of me and vowed to forget all the hatred in the past with a false smile.

We are Hera and Zeus, King and Queen, and then husband and wife. Most of the time, I think we probably forget this.

“Why, Hera, are you resenting me? Because I banished your lover’s soul to an unknown place?”

Zeus saw that I had been silent and asked sarcastically, deliberately dragging the word “lover” very long. Presumably, in addition to his heart full of deceived anger, he also has a little ecstasy. Because in countless quarrels, one of the most common reasons I condemned him was “I didn’t betray marriage, how can you do this!”. Right now, it seems to me that I have finally been derailed once, and everyone is standing on the same level.

“You haven’t answered me, what’s wrong with him. If you hurt him, I will never forgive you.”

I answered blankly, and he stared at me with an incredible burst of laughter.

“Forgive me! Forgive me? Really worthy of you, Hera, even if you still refuse to bow your head and do not want to ask for my forgiveness. Sometimes I really doubt what your heart is doing, right I bow my head is a harder thing than death, right! You will always be like that, you will never be wrong high above! Apart from status and power, what do you care about? Oh, yes, I almost forgot, for that mankind, You do n’t need this. It ’s really great love, great greatness! ”

“Why do you bow your head, you have done the same thing to me countless times, but do you think you have missed it? Even if I fell in love with other people, I did n’t climb into his bed, let alone give birth to him. A series of bastards! ”

I said bitterly that knowing that such a result would only add fuel to the fire, but as soon as I faced Zeus, my calmness and reason seemed to disappear in an instant.

“I never committed suicide for a lover! Not even for the lover, even for the last dignity! If I stopped you, what would you do, bow down to Hades for a human to hug his thigh Please beg! You are my wife, except me, you are never allowed to bow down to any god! Hera, I give you the status and power of the queen, not to lose my face! ”

He shattered a huge rock furiously, and the golden thunder was sizzling around him. In an instant, it seemed that even the whimpering wind in the Hades ceased for a long time, wincing and silent under his anger. If you don’t know him too much, I would really think he was jealous. But as if he knew everything about me clearly, I knew everything about him. He was simply mad and angry because he might not be able to compare with a human being, because he could not bear that he would lose to anyone, he must always be a winner, and he must always be awed by all living things.

I was right in my silence. When it came to this part, I said that it was useless. I was in a bad mood.

Seeing me not answering, he finally exhausted his patience, raised his hand in anger, and finally changed direction temporarily, hitting a huge pit not far away from me, and letting out a white smoke.

“This time I won’t just forget it. You like to be ghosts and stay in Hades. Well, you will stay here all the time. When you want to think clearly about preparing for my forgiveness, when will you come out from inside. ”

I looked up at him in surprise, he sneered.

“Yes, I will forgive you, just like when I pointed to the vow made by Styx, no matter what you do, I will forgive, even if all the gods will immediately know that my wife went to the underworld for a human suicide I will still forgive you! So, look at this rare generosity, and do n’t show it to me for the time being! ”

He finished angrily, rolled up a gust of wind, rushed straight up, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, leaving me standing alone, feeling that everything that happened before was like a nightmare.

Seriously, I didn’t expect Zeus to do this. He used to be angry at me for some things before, but in the end it just went away, as long as he moved out the evidence accusing him of betraying me again. Like most men in human beings, he also has a guilty conscience, and he comforts me by pulling down his face and saying good words, saying that it is just a temporary romance, and the only woman in his heart is me. Then we will live in peace temporarily for a few days, until the next fierce quarrel breaks out, I yell, he is angry, and then he will go to any place, just find a goddess or woman, from them Looking for obedience that I have never had before.

It ’s funny, we did n’t get married formally, we knew each other very well. He knew that I was jealous and grumpy, and I also knew that he had always been romantic, and his private life was so eroded to the extreme. What made us make such a decision? If I think about it carefully, I can’t remember the reason why he loved him so much. Am I also shot by the arrow of Eros so I was completely blinded?

Let me say it very white lotus, I didn’t want to hurt any talents to do so, but why did it make a mess in the end? I lost Dongzi, and I don’t even know what Zeus will do with him. Zeus jumped thunderously for my “betrayal”. I’m afraid I won’t want to go back to the ground in a short time. Although everything at home is arranged in advance, I am not worried that Han Xiaole’s parents and Dongzi’s mother will find out. But when I think of my children, they have not been favored by Zeus, and Zeus has always liked to be angry, in case they let them be reprimanded by Zeus in front of the gods because of me, and they lost their faces, oh my god, I am a selfish mother, never thinking about them. I already knew that I should have bowed my head to Zeus and said a few words for mercy.

“Hera.”

Someone was calling me in a low voice behind me, I quickly wiped away the tears that condensed in the corners of my eyes, hiding all the weaknesses. In any case, I will not let any **** see my helpless and regretful side . Zeus often said that I was a monster formed by self-esteem, maybe he was really right this time.

A man in a black robe came out of the darkness, his face pale and terrible, and if he didn’t move, he would merge with the darkness around him. I was a little surprised to take a step forward, unexpectedly he would take the initiative to leave his palace.

“Hades, I didn’t expect it to be you.”

Looking at the mess around me, I was a little embarrassed and coughed: “Sorry, let you see the joke, not to tell, but also smashed things in your home.”

He frowned, as if he didn’t know me: “Hera, what’s wrong with you, are you irritated?”

“No, I’m fine, fine, this kind of thing has long been used to it, and you don’t know it.”

I waved indiscriminately, even if people all over the world knew me and Zeus had failed again, I would never admit it in front of a third person.

“You say sorry to me. You haven’t said these two words since you were born.”

He looked me up and down for a while, his eyes dark and unclear, his expression serious to the level of killing, if that was n’t my brother, if we did n’t grow up together, I would find him so scary: “You know, I did For more than 20 years, humans may have changed a little. ”

“Don’t you always look down on humans? Why do I hear rumors, but you gave up the post-god identity for a human being, and even came to the underworld without hesitating to commit suicide.”

He motioned me to the past, waved a little impatiently to fix all the broken things, and walked forward slowly: “Even you have begun to find a lover, no wonder people who have committed suicide in recent years because of marriage irregularities have changed. More and more. ”

“Your ability to tell jokes hasn’t improved at all, and it’s still so cold.” I didn’t want to discuss this topic with him, and I took a breath. “How about your wife? It’s been so long, are you still separating?” What do I say, you deserve to be the brother of Zeus and Poseidon, doing exactly the same thing. How could she like the underworld goddess of spring. If you go to live in the palace of Apollo and be sunbaked every day, you can Are you happy? ”

He didn’t even move his eyebrows. It is estimated that apart from me, no one in the world would dare to comment on what he did. Hades did a good job all his life, but he didn’t know why fainting did a stupid thing. I don’t think any goddess likes to be caught in the underworld, nor allowed to go to the ground, nor to meet with his mother. It is because he is a Pluto that everyone dare not say anything. If he changes a god, he will be dragged out and killed by the angry goddess of the earth.

“Don’t worry about my business, it’s better to think about what to do.” Hades glanced at me coldly. “I don’t want you to hit the Hades from Mount Olympus all the way. Ca n’t you calm me down here? ”

“You are a 10,000-year-old otaku, no wonder you can’t make a sister.” I said angrily, gruntingly.

He shook his head gently: “Hera, it seems that you haven’t realized where you went wrong. Think about when we were both at Olympus, you and Zeus were not like this. From the beginning, apart from the endless quarrel, where did your feelings disappear? ”

“Hey, what are you doing, how did you suddenly become an emotional expert! Anyway, that’s the big deal. I’ll stay in Hades for a while. You’re in charge of our business. Speaking of which, I still want to ask you, the man named He Jingdong. How is the soul? ”

Hardy’s pale face rarely showed an unhappy expression: “Hera, I don’t want to see you and me make the same mistake, think about it, why, you and Zeus would become like this, think about it carefully … ”

“What else can you think about! This is between me and him. You have less to do business. Now, just tell me, where is He Jingdong’s soul! How did Zeus treat him!”

I yelled at him irritably, and I don’t remember when the last time I was so disoriented. Hades’s unsurprised face suddenly looked so hateful, why did he point me at something, he didn’t know anything at all!

He was not angry, just looked at me calmly, as if looking at an unreasonable kid, even a little pity.

“Want to go back to that human soul? Very simple, Hera, bet with me. As long as you win, I will return that human soul to you for your disposal.”

I looked up in surprise. Hades, who has always been rule-conscious, actually said this, which is really surprising. His eyes were dark and scary, without emotion, and I couldn’t help shivering.

But there is no choice. I owe He Jingdong a life. I have to take him back.

“Okay, I promise you.”
