Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 548: If I can’t cure my daughter, I can’t cure my son?

"Hey, you finally woke up?"

On the sea, on the sailboat drifting with the waves, Perseus slowly woke up.

The specialty mead of Crete is sweet and mellow. Perseus got drunk last night because of the festive atmosphere.

When he woke up, what he saw when he opened his eyes was the blue sky and the swaying sailboat.

He was stunned for a moment, not knowing why he found himself on the boat when he woke up.

What came into view was Eros, who was sitting at the bow, seemingly deep in thought.

Apart from this, there is nothing.

Perseus, somewhat puzzled, sat up and asked Eros.

"First mate, what's going on? Why am I on this ship?"

"Did you lose your memory after drinking? It's okay. I'll help you recall it."

Eros turned his head and smiled kindly.

"You drank too much last night and mistook a girl for Andromeda. You madly showed your love to her and even wanted to snatch her back."

"Then they were frightened by you and attracted the guards. You had no choice but to escape and set sail from Crete overnight."

He made up a story every time he spoke, which scared Perseus.

"Really, first mate? But why don't I have any memory? I clearly remember that I went straight back to sleep after drinking it?"

Perseus was a little suspicious. In his memory, nothing had happened.
And he is not that kind of person.

"You just don't remember it. That's called blacking out."

Eros spoke with certainty and confidence.

But Perseus still was not convinced by him and shook his head stubbornly.

"No, that's definitely not the case. First mate, you are bluffing me again."

Although he didn't know what it felt like to black out after drinking, Perseus' intuition told him that it was definitely not what Eros said.

How come Perseus is not easy to deceive?
"Oh, if you don't believe it, I will tell Andromeda about it and see if she believes it."

Eros rolled his eyes and said viciously.

Perseus was about to say, "Andromeda certainly won't believe it," but the moment he opened his mouth, he suddenly felt a sense of danger.

So the words came to his lips and he changed his words in an instant.

"I believe you, first mate, you definitely didn't lie to me. There's no need for that."

After saying this, the dangerous feeling disappeared, and Perseus breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

It's strange, why do I have this feeling for no reason?
I always feel like if I continue to refute, my life will be in danger.

Seeing that Perseus was very sensible and admitted his mistake, Eros nodded with satisfaction.

If he did not admit his mistake, his words would inevitably be changed when he got to Andromeda.

Until then, Perseus will just have to wait.

"First mate, how are we going to proceed now?"

No longer dwelling on why he was on the ship, Perseus asked Eros.

Eros pretended to take out the sea chart given by Athena, took a look at it and said.

"Well, we are heading straight for Ethiopia now. The location of the ocean currents is marked on the sea chart Athena gave us."

"With the help of the waves, we will reach Ethiopia in less than half a month." Upon hearing that they would be able to reach Ethiopia soon and see his beloved Andromeda, Perseus forgot about Crete.

Now all he cared about was reaching his destination quickly so that he could meet Andromeda.

But he was not that urgent. After all, he had already spent so much time on it, so half a month wouldn't make a big difference.

Moreover, only half a month was enough to stay at sea, which made Perseus feel a little relieved.

He turned his head away, wanting to find some fresh fruits and vegetables to quench his thirst and relieve the dry mouth from his hangover.

But he looked left and right and didn't see anything else on the boat.

A bad premonition arose in his heart, and Perseus turned to look at Eros and asked anxiously.

"First mate, where is our food and water?"

"hungry?"

Eros tilted his head slightly and pulled out a fishing rod from somewhere.

"It's okay, I'll catch some fish for you right now. I left in a hurry and forgot to take those things with me."

The moment he heard these words, Perseus felt as if the sky had fallen on him.

Driven by the ocean currents, the small sailboat slowly headed towards Ethiopia.

And in Ethiopia, the land known as "the land where the sun always shines".

A brown-skinned girl with tanned wheat-colored skin was walking in the palace in a long dress.

Although this country is located on the seaside, it is a country with wilderness and desert, which is very different from other city-states.

They believed in Helios, the sun god, so the sun god favored them the most.

They enjoy more sunshine every day, the climate becomes hotter, and the wheat grows stronger in the sunshine.

Andromeda returned to the palace quickly in her long skirt. When she walked into the hall and the door closed, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

She quickly removed the complicated train of her skirt and threw it on the ground, then stretched her body to stretch her muscles.

"Father, Mother, you called me back, didn't you just want me to meet Uncle Phineus?"

"I have said many times that I don't want to get married now, and I don't want to marry my uncle."

There was also a couple sitting in the hall, dressed in luxurious robes. Naturally, there was nothing to guess about their identities.

They were Andromeda's father Cepheus and mother Cassiopeia, who were looking at their daughter with helpless eyes.

"Andromeda, you are not young anymore, and your mother and I only have you as our child."

"If you don't want to inherit the throne and continue to practice in the Holy Land, then we also need a suitable candidate."

Before Cepheus could finish, Andromeda shook her head repeatedly, interrupting her father's long speech.

"Father, you don't need to say so much and persuade me to marry Uncle Phineus. You can just give the throne to him directly. Why involve me?"

"And since I'm planning to continue my training as a Saint, there's no need to bother with a marriage and add to my troubles."

Andromeda's refusal was quite obvious, and her parents were unable to persuade her, so they had to put the matter aside for the time being.

"We can talk about your affairs with Phineus later. I want to tell you something more important now."

Cepheus frowned subconsciously, and his whole person immediately changed from a kind father to a majestic king.

Andromeda's expression also became a little more serious. What she just talked about was a family matter, but now it meant that her father wanted to talk to her about something serious.

"Andromeda, are you willing to be sacrificed to the ocean?"
