Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 932 Elders should show deference to younger generations.

No, shouldn't children be the flowers of Greece?

Perseus felt as if he were greeting a beautiful little flower by the roadside, only to have the flower suddenly transform into a man-eating plant and swallow him whole.

Are all kids these days so violent?

Perseus was somewhat bewildered after being sent flying by the small fists. Although the damage was not great, the insult was extremely strong.

Being punched by a child is a disgrace to a man.

However, Perseus had a good temper; he wasn't angry, just a little confused and found it hard to accept.

"No? Why did you hit me?"

Perseus stood up and rubbed his face.

"I didn't mean to stop you from going in, did I?"

That's the truth. Perseus would naturally want to be lenient with children and not follow the rules so that there would be no need for conflict.

Children shouldn't be constantly being told to fight or kill; it's not good for their education.

When he was Alcádez's age, he did physical training, but he wasn't this violent.

How did this child's mother raise him?

If we're talking about anger, Perseus was probably somewhat angry with Alcides' mother.

"Grandfather Perseus, are you alright?"

Just as Perseus was thinking that he would give the child's mother a good scolding when he saw her later,

Alcmene awkwardly trotted over to Perseus's side and asked, somewhat bewildered.

Although he wasn't particularly close to his grandfather, having only met him a few times when he was a child, it was still a genuine kinship relationship, one that could be traced back to him.

"Huh? Which one are you?"

Perseus paused for a moment, scratching his head in confusion, after being addressed as grandfather by Alcmene.

He and Andromeda had many children, and then their children had children of their own; he simply couldn't remember all of his grandchildren accurately.

“My name is Alcmene, I am the child of Electritreon, and I am your granddaughter. You saw me when I was a child.”

Even after being reminded, Perseus... well, he still didn't recognize her. After all, the difference between the child from back then and the mother of his child now was too great.

Andromeda might still be able to recognize him, but Perseus wouldn't; he wasn't very bright.

Even with his limited brain, he could still recall where he had heard the name before.

"Alcmene? You are this child's mother?"

Perseus pointed to Alcides, who had been staying there quietly since Alcmene appeared, like a little white flower.

He still remembered that Alcides had just said that his mother was Alcmene, but his father did not know.

Alcmene was Perseus's granddaughter, so the little girl who knocked him away with a single punch was actually his great-granddaughter.

Then, the scene of him being punched and sent flying by his great-granddaughter was witnessed by his own granddaughter?
This series of events left Perseus slightly overwhelmed, unsure of how to react.

Alcmene was also somewhat embarrassed. She had originally planned to bring her child to the Sanctuary to study, since she had connections at home and with the goddess Athena.

Before the child even started school, they had already damaged their family's relationships.

Alcmene could only offer a somewhat embarrassed explanation.

"This child is actually quite well-behaved, but she has had extraordinary abilities since childhood, so sometimes she can't control herself." The implication is that the child has superhuman strength and doesn't have many playmates, so she gets carried away and can't control herself. Please don't take it personally.

At this moment, Alcides took over the conversation and said with a sincere expression.

"You're Mother's grandfather? What should I call you then?"

"Hmm, never mind, I don't understand. But Grandpa is really strong, can you continue playing with me?"

The child's sincere and innocent gaze made Perseus feel an even greater sense of responsibility on his shoulders.

Now is not the time to scold my granddaughter for not being a good mother; it's time to prove my responsibility as an elder!

Perseus straightened his back instantly, adopting a kind and benevolent expression, no longer caring about the punch he had just received.

"No problem, of course no problem, great-grandfather can certainly play with you."

"Go, prepare a training ground for me. I want to have a good time playing with my great-granddaughter!"

He immediately ordered the guards to prepare. Alcides, whether because his mother had come or because he knew that the person in front of him was his great-grandfather, became obedient and less arrogant.

Seeing that her grandfather did not hold it against her and still treated the child with the same gentle attitude, Alcmene breathed a sigh of relief.

"And you too, apologize to your great-grandfather and don't be so reckless next time."

She returned to Alcides' side with a hint of reproach, though she was reprimanding her, there was little sense of blame in her tone.

Alcides' personality may have been influenced by heredity, but there are other reasons as well, such as her pampering and indulgence.

After all, Alcmene wasn't a real menopausal woman; she was essentially still a young girl, and thus more patient and doting on her child than the average mother.

"No need, no need to apologize, he's just a child."

Perseus's face was full of smiles, his tone tinged with a wistful sigh and an indescribable sense of pride.

He's become a great-grandfather without even realizing it, so Andromeda will never call him an immature boy again.

"Let's go, I'll show you around the Holy Land first. By the way, are you planning to send this child to study at the Holy Land?"

Feeling that he had risen to a higher position in the family, Perseus looked down at the child who was not even as tall as his own calf, his heart filled with love.

Since they are his own bloodline, it is indeed more appropriate for him to teach them personally.

He never imagined that his descendants would have such talented children, who were no less gifted than he was back then.

Having subtly embellished his reputation, Perseus was in high spirits, and being humiliated was no big deal to him.

Even if your child pulls your beard or tugs your hair, those are minor issues.

Alcmene understood Perseus's meaning and said somewhat awkwardly.

"That's correct, but I used other channels."

To avoid his many offspring using his name to their advantage, Perseus retreated to the Sanctuary, severing ties fairly cleanly. Alcmene, however, could not contact him at all.

So she took a more effective approach—directly contacting the child's biological mother.

Although Hera did not publicly acknowledge her or directly grant her any favors in her name, she was, after all, the Queen of Gods.

With a little manipulation, these things are no problem, especially with Athena around.

So after Hera informed her that she was taking her child to the Sanctuary for studies, she quickly said that she had arranged everything.

That's the benefit of having someone above you.
