The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 583 - 76 Lady, you wouldn’t want your daughter to be unable to hold her head up high, would you?_2

"Mother?"

In an instant, Hera, who was maintaining a riding posture, trembled all over her body and stiffly turned her neck to look at her daughter Hebei, the Goddess of Youth, feeling overwhelmed by shame and anger.

Although she and Zeus had long since severed their relationship and no longer harbored any affection for each other, and she didn’t care about her former husband’s opinions or feelings,

she, as a mother, still somewhat hoped to maintain her image in the eyes of the children she favored.

However, a moment of indulgence had caused her to expose such an unworthy side of herself in front of her beloved daughter, which truly made Hera feel like she had no place to hide her face.

Just as she was considering how to defend herself and possibly salvage her image, she saw the Goddess of Youth, Hebei, looking around in surprise and scratching her head.

"Why are you here so late? Where is Lord Luo En?"

"?"

The unexpected question felt like a lifeline to Hera, who was on the verge of social death, and she quickly looked down.

As expected, there was nothing beneath her. She was simply kneeling on the bed in a rather unseemly posture.

But the familiar warmth and sensation told her: her young lover was still there, still firmly pinned beneath her.

Athena’s "Labyrinth Barrier" and the divinity of "Cognitive Distortion"?

Hera sensed the divine power fluctuations she recognized and comprehended. Her originally anxious emotions gradually calmed down.

"Ahem, I had some private matters to discuss with Luo En, but as you can see, he seems not to be here," Hera explained from the bed, her face maintaining an indifferent expression.

"I see..." Hebei murmured, a hint of disappointment in her eyes.

Seeing her daughter’s reaction, Hera’s heart tensed up, and she asked vigilantly, "Why, do you need him for something?"

"It’s nothing important, I just wanted to take the opportunity to learn some brewing and cooking techniques from the God of Wine," Hebei answered honestly, with a naive smile emerging on her youthful face.

Hearing her daughter’s reply, Hera internally sighed in relief.

It was a good thing it was just about learning to brew. If her daughter had really gotten involved with some scoundrel, it would have been a real headache.

"That can’t be right. I clearly saw that guy heading home," Cainis stepped forward, eying the room with suspicion.

"I think I saw him too..." Hippolyta nodded in response from behind, providing corroborating evidence.

At the Royal Palace banquet, the Goddess of Youth, Hebei, had learned the whereabouts of the God of Wine, Luo En, and had approached Cainis, the householder, hoping to visit the God of Wine and learn some brewing and cooking skills.

Outspoken Cainis readily agreed and brought along Hippolyta, who was sitting at the same table.

So the three of them, after the banquet, ended up coming to the house together.

But instead of finding the man they intended to visit, they accidentally encountered Queen Hera.

Naturally, this left them quite perplexed.

"Anyway, I didn’t see him come back," Hera said, sweeping a threatening glance over Atalanta and Medea outside the door and adding with composure, "He probably got held up on the way? Or ran into some other... situation~~"

Suddenly, Hera’s usually steady tone wavered inexplicably, and her back stiffened. Her upper body trembled slightly, her teeth tightly biting her lips, as if struggling to suppress some movement in her throat.

"Mother?" Hebei asked with concern, instinctively stepping over the threshold and approaching the bed.

"No need! I’m fine!" Hera quickly replied, grabbing the bedhead with both hands, trying to stand up.

However, as her body barely moved a few inches, she sat back down with force.

Hiss~~!

The intense sense of fulfillment overwhelmed Hera, who inhaled sharply, angrily looking at the space beneath her where there appeared to be nothing and couldn’t help but clench her teeth.

The bastard, taking advantage of the situation now!

"What’s happening to you? Your body is trembling, and you’re sweating so much..."

The Goddess of Youth at the bedside took Hera’s hand, asking with worry.

"It could be... the aftereffects... of the battle in the Sea of Chaos..." Hera spoke in a faltering voice, her body shaking even more, causing the bed beneath her to wobble slightly.

"Then I’ll take you to see a physician!"

Hebei intended to help her mother off the bed and take her to the deities’ physician for a diagnosis, but Hera slapped her hand away and shook her head in refusal.

"No need! I just need to rest... for a while..."

"But..."

Seeing her mother on the bed, who had used so much strength that her fingerprints were clearly imprinted on the metal bedhead, Hebei couldn’t help but feel deeply worried.

"There’s nothing ’but’ about it!" Hera curtly cut off her daughter’s concern, then commanded with a trembling voice, "You go out first, I need to rest~~"

For some reason, that voice seemed to carry a faint sobbing tone.

Owed to her mother’s usual authority, Hebei dared not ask further and could only keep looking back as she walked toward the door.

"Mother, wouldn’t it be better if I stayed to take care of you..."

"Bang!"

The sound of the door slamming shut left the dutiful Hebei on the outside, causing the normally sensible and obedient Goddess of Youth to fall into a severe bout of self-doubt.

What’s wrong with Mother? Could it be that she dislikes me?

Atalanta outside the door saw Hebei lost in distress and couldn’t help but whisper comforting words.

"Don’t worry, it’s probably just a small issue."

Medea, by her side, chimed in opportunely.

"If you’re really concerned, you can stay overnight at Cainis’s place tonight. After all, we have spare beds here."

The little Enchantress glanced at the tightly shut door, her seemingly kind suggestion hiding malevolent intent.

So Hera thinks she’s so high and mighty? She won’t get away with having him all to herself so easily!
