Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 888 We're Family!

Is it true or false? No resistance?

Hera's eyes were filled with wariness and suspicion as she scanned Eros's face, trying to spot something suspicious.

But aside from the smile on his face, Eros simply sat there casually, without making any other movements.

This overly frank attitude and inexplicable agreement aroused Hera's suspicion and vigilance.

Could it be that he has truly had a change of heart?
She tried to move her hands and feet and found that she was no longer bound. She took two steps closer to Eros and looked him in the eye.

Although Hera disliked Eros, she had to admit that his eyes were captivating, as if burning with an inextinguishable flame, forever concealing passion.

More importantly, no matter when or who, one can always see love in Eros's eyes, and that indescribable feeling.

Nothing could be seen in Eros's eyes except those things. Even though Hera knew that Eros was definitely mocking and teasing her, she couldn't see anything else.

Hera tentatively raised her hand, as if to swing it down, but Eros neither dodged nor avoided her, and just stared at her.

No, this frankness and seriousness must be suspicious.

Even if you can't see any problems, that's the biggest problem.

Hera stopped abruptly just before she was about to slap him. The chaotic emotions and various inexplicable and complicated feelings in her heart made her subconsciously stop the action.

Perhaps he was worried about a trap, or perhaps he found himself lacking the reason and emotion to deliver the blow, or perhaps he simply felt uneasy because of Eros's gaze.

Even though Hera knew that Eros was a scoundrel and someone with whom she harbored deep hatred, she found herself unable to do anything in this eye contact and environment.

Despite their deep-seated hatred, their relationship was also complex, like tangled threads that were already intertwined and inseparable.

The various thoughts within were mixed with hatred and resentment, but also included the appreciation during their time together while hiding their identities, the camaraderie during their battles, the shame and anger he felt each time he teased them, and the physical sensations he experienced.

So much so that when Eros actually stood before her so candidly, Hera, after her surge of emotion subsided, even felt a touch of complex emotions and didn't know what to do.

Moreover, Eros had just helped her protect her reputation. Although rebellion was not a good excuse, rebelling against Eros was much more acceptable than secretly meeting with him.

Hera is an emotional, yet indecisive and gentle goddess.

When she's consumed by rage, she's more cruel and terrifying than any goddess in the world.

But after her anger subsided, she truly lived up to the title of Empress, a gentle, loving, dignified, and elegant goddess.

With all this back and forth, and the interruptions from Thetis and Eurynome, Hera was finding it difficult to maintain her angry state.

"Are you going to take your anger out on me or not? I'm right here waiting for you."

Seeing Hera hesitate, Eros smiled knowingly and pretended to urge her on.

Eros had long since figured out Hera's personality; she was both soft and hard. With just a little manipulation, she would get stuck as if she had encountered a bug.

You can't openly show her goodwill; that will only make her feel flattered and cause her to disdain you.

All it takes is a little manipulation, a timely display of care and goodwill, and Hera will find herself entangled in a complex web of emotions.

She still harbored resentment towards her past with Eros, yet she was also inevitably at a loss due to a mix of feelings. The overlap of her principles and emotions, past memories and present feelings made Hera incredibly indecisive.

In this situation, Eros's seemingly well-intentioned urging actually made it even more difficult for her to make a decision, and she was unable to do so at all.

"I...you must have some bad idea in mind, I won't fall for it."

As expected, after Eros urged her, Hera backed down even further and found a reason and excuse for herself.

This guy is incredibly malicious. His frankness now is definitely ill-intentioned; he's dug a pit for me to fall into.

Be rational and don't fall into such a simple trap.

The complete and reliable analysis made Hera even more convinced that she didn't need to do it, and she took two steps back, putting a large distance between herself and Eros.

In fact, she should have just left, but the strange atmosphere made her subconsciously feel that it wasn't the time to leave.

"Since I said I wouldn't resist, then naturally I won't resist."

"But since you're unwilling, then forget it."

With feigned regret, Eros stood up again, reached out and lifted the unconscious Poseidon, tossing him onto the throne.

"Actually, I really want to resolve these old grudges with you. After all, these are things of the past, and we all have to look forward."

"So many years ago, we were chasing each other, and so many years later, we're still the same. Although I don't mind this kind of playful banter, we should all be happy together."

Eros spoke in a serious and earnest tone.

“Back then you chased me down, but I didn’t hold it against you. You always tripped me up and contradicted me, but I never retaliated in the same way.”

"We're all grown up now, and we're family. What can't we get over? We should be happy, there's no need to be so resentful."

As he spoke, Eros pointed to Poseidon, who was still fast asleep.

"Look at Poseidon, even though he says he wants to get revenge on me and vent his resentment, isn't he actually still happy?"

He was right. Even after being struck by Hera's black staff and losing consciousness, Poseidon's face still showed a satisfied and joyful smile.

However, this example wasn't very good, and Hera's face darkened as she thought about what had just happened.

Of course she was happy! That's exactly what she came for; they're all birds of a feather.

Besides, who's family with you?!
Hera was full of resentment. Even though she knew that some things were beyond her control and understanding, she still couldn't accept the relationship between Eros and Zeus.

But even if one doesn't accept it, the fact remains that Eros had close relationships with Poseidon, Demeter, Hades, and Hera's sisters.

It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because just thinking about it made Hera's face darken even more, and the anger and emotions that had just subsided gradually rose again.

This silver worm actually has the nerve to mention his family? Is this the kind of family they are?

Clearly, Hera had forgotten that she and Zeus were sisters.
