Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 864 Hera’s wonderful experience at the beginning
Although her words were quite absolute, Hera couldn't help but be touched when she heard the baby's cry when he was born.

Athena's question was meaningless. If Hera had not intended to see her child again with her own eyes, she would have left long ago.

After the transfer was completed, the only reason left to continue staying here was to see his children again with his own eyes.

Hera's mind was touched by the crying, and her calmness and rationality were destroyed in an instant.

She did not directly answer Athena's words, but explained her choice with her actions.

They returned to the room and asked Eileithyia, the goddess of childbirth, to go back first. Then they looked at the baby in Alcmene's arms.

After crying at the first sign of life, the child quickly calmed down and lay in Alcmene's arms, looking at the world with his eyes open obediently.

Her eyes were as pure as white paper. She was curious and unfamiliar with everything in this world where she had just arrived. Her dark eyes were lively and the same color as Hera's.

"goddess."

Alcmene also felt somewhat close to the child that came from her womb, but because of this, she was more aware of the feelings of the child's true mother.

When Hera and Athena came over, she took the initiative to pick up the child.

Hera did not take her child directly, but looked at him carefully with her eyes. Although the child was just born, his face was not wrinkled like that of ordinary children.

Just after birth, it has already shown the extraordinary temperament of a demigod. Its cute little face is round and it will not cry even if its cheeks are pinched.

"very nice."

Hera looked at the child in front of her with the same eye color as her and murmured subconsciously.

Because Gods are born with knowledge, they are born in a fixed posture, as a child, a young person, or even a mature adult.

And having a baby like this, her own child, was an experience Hera had never had before.

Compared with a more mature state, such a weak and cute baby can undoubtedly inspire the maternal nature of a mother goddess more.

"Give me a hug, it doesn't matter anyway."

Athena took the child from Alcmene's hands with a bright smile on her face, and her love for the child was beyond words.

"And have you thought about what to name her? Even though you can't acknowledge her as your child, you still have the right to name her."

These words hit Hera's heart very accurately, and she couldn't help but take her child from Athena's arms.

It is not heavy in weight, but it feels extremely heavy. The small body wrapped in silk is soft yet full of life's resilience.

When she took the child and held him in her arms, Hera felt as if her heart had softened, and her suppressed maternal instinct began to stir.

"Name.Name"

Hera teased the child in her arms with a smile on her face and whispered softly.

"Let's call her Alcides. Since she can't be acknowledged as my child, I want her to have [Power]."

Alcides means strength.

Hera could not acknowledge that the child was her own and could not directly provide strong protection.

So she hopes that the child will have the power to protect himself.

Alcmene listened to Hera's blessing but did not say anything to thank her. After all, she was not qualified at this time.

Hearing the name Hera gave her, Alcides, who was still in the cradle, was teased by Hera's fingers and giggled. Children are the cutest and most lovable creatures in the first period of their lives.

Hera's maternal instinct was also aroused by this adorable appearance. She hugged the child and teased him, looking like she didn't want to leave for a while.

"Can't bear to part with it?"

Looking at Hera's overflowing maternal love, Athena chuckled and said.

But Hera ignored her and concentrated on teasing the child in her arms. She watched her finger being bitten by the child and sucked by the toothless little mouth.

"It seems that she is hungry. Well, she is a human after all."

Seeing Alcides biting Hera's fingers continuously, Athena gave a reminder.

"Eh? So you want to drink milk?"

Alcmene then realized that the newborn baby would soon be fed for the first time.

However, Alcmene was still a young virgin, and even if she had given birth, her body was not yet ready to nurse an infant.

Athena was an eternal virgin goddess, so naturally she could not have the milk to feed a child.

In this situation, the two of them turned their attention to Hera.

It is obvious that Hera has the qualities of a mother goddess, so she can naturally take on the responsibility of nurturing the child.

But this is not appropriate, Alcmene said, standing up.

"I'll go find a wet nurse, or some goat's milk to feed her."

"No, let me do it this time."

Hera called her, not sure if it was because of her overwhelmed maternal instinct or what she was thinking about, or maybe she just wanted to experience the feeling of being a mortal mother.

She called Alcmene, unbuttoned her clothes, and began to breastfeed her child.

Anyone who has been a wet nurse knows that the sucking strength of a newborn baby is incredible. Otherwise, how can it be said that the baby is using all his strength to suck milk?
What's more, Alcides is a demigod, and even if he is just a baby, his power should not be underestimated.

Fortunately, Hera was not an ordinary person. She only frowned slightly and felt a little pain when the baby had no self-control over sucking.

After having a delicious meal, Alcides buried his head in Hera's chest and fell asleep peacefully.

Hera straightened her clothes and looked at the sleeping child with a complicated expression, vaguely revealing a bit of reluctance, but finally made a decision and handed the child to Alcmene.

"Take good care of her, just like you would take care of your own child."

"I promise you that as long as this child is alive, you will have my protection."

After entrusting the child to Alcmene and leaving the room, Hera would have nothing to do with the child, and would no longer hold her or even breastfeed her like she did today.

Alcmene, who took the child, promised Hera the same thing, and at the same time, she made a request to Hera.

"Two goddesses, I hope you can help me prove that this child is a child given by God."

"Otherwise, I'm worried that the child and I will be persecuted and distrusted by others."
