Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 936 The Goddess of Purity is Not Pure

Astraea, the goddess of justice and purity of the stars, had a close relationship with the goddess Athena.

Her qualities as a goddess of purity gave her ample motivation to do this.

After all, as a goddess of purity, it's naturally impossible for her to have children.

However, this speculation has no basis, since there are quite a few goddesses who are close to Athena and have unspeakable secrets.

To take an even more exaggerated view, perhaps that nameless goddess was actually Athena herself putting on a show?

After all, Athena, the goddess who made a vow, couldn't possibly have children, right? To cover up this truth, they actually put on a show, pretending it was something that happened to other goddesses in front of her.

Such a possibility is not entirely out of the question, but Alcmene only thought about it briefly before quickly dismissing these unfounded speculations.

After all, no matter which goddess it is, I can't afford to offend her. I shouldn't think too much about it. I'm not afraid of not guessing correctly, but what if I do guess correctly?
The more people who know this secret, the more likely they are to die; what's even more terrifying is that they might not even find peace in death.

Alcmene quickly suppressed her unfounded speculations and gossip, deciding to be honest and not care whether she was the child's biological mother or not; it was none of her business.

All she needs to do is be a good foster mother to the child.

"Lady Astraea, I have arrived with my men."

Chiron respectfully pushed open the door to the Papal Palace, while Astraea, who was waiting for them inside, inexplicably showed a hint of panic on her face.

"Ah...you've come. Please have a seat."

Astraea did not cover her entire body in a golden robe and hide her face with a mask as usual, but instead revealed her beautiful and sweet true face.

A loose and gorgeous golden robe enveloped Astraea's exquisite figure; the specially designed attire was both mysterious and holy, and full of majesty.

However, it needs to be paired with her usual mask, otherwise Astrid's delicate, girlish face would ruin the overall style of the outfit.

Especially now, Astraea was not only not wearing a mask, but her cheeks were also slightly flushed for some reason, as if she had just been slightly drunk, and even her eyes seemed to be shimmering with water.

Chiron's entrance caused a noticeable look of panic to appear on her face, but it was quickly concealed, leaving only a blush on her cheeks.

With just one glance, Alcmene's eyes revealed a strange look.

This goddess of purity doesn't seem as pure as she appears. Something feels off.

"I was abrupt and startled the goddess. I'm sorry."

Chiron also took in Astrid's reaction, but she quickly understood and said with a slight apology.

The goddess was probably thinking about something important, so she was startled by herself.

Alcmene assumed that was the case, and although he found it strange, he didn't think much of it.

Although none of them were stupid, they were all inexperienced young girls and naturally couldn't see much.

If someone with experience saw Astraea in her current state, they would probably understand something.

"Ah... um, it's nothing, I was just a little distracted."

Astraea went down the slope, picked up her mask from the table, put it on her face, and stood up stiffly, almost shivering.

Trying her best to calm her emotions and the strange sensations emanating from her body, Astraea, unable to vent her resentment, could only try to remain calm as she said, "Is this the child Athena specifically mentioned to me, Alcides? He is indeed handsome and exceptionally intelligent."

Astraea looked at the little girl who was also staring at her with curious eyes, her gaze carrying a strange and almost imperceptible scrutiny.

If we're talking about resemblance, judging solely from appearance, there's not much of a resemblance to her father, but that's to be expected.

Those bastard's children mostly resemble their mother in appearance, but in personality they are like him.

I just don't know who the child's mother is, and it's worth that bastard going through all this trouble.

She silently grumbled to herself, and it seemed that her actions were noticed by the person she was supposedly slandering behind her back.

The platinum robes seemed to be billowing in the wind, suddenly being blown up, and Astraea's legs went weak and she almost slipped.

Fortunately, she braced her hands on the table, which prevented this from happening.

Even so, her slightly out-of-control behavior still attracted the attention of a few people.

"Your Holiness, are you alright?"

"It's nothing! I just tried using my precognitive abilities to see a little something."

Astrid quickly came up with a perfect excuse to get away with it, while cursing the bastard in her heart.

However, with her meager strength, how could she possibly defeat the cholera demon?

"Your Holiness, what's wrong with you?"

Chiron, who was getting restless, quickly went over to help Astrid, and the moment she grasped Astrid's hands...

Chiron felt Astrid gripping him very tightly with both hands. Judging from her muscle reactions, Chiron deduced that Astrid was experiencing a stress reaction due to excessive impact.

"Is it a harbinger of a bad future?"

Based on Astrid's earlier words, and her current reaction of having white pupils and unconsciously clenching her hands, Chiron made a reasonable deduction.

After Astrids regained her senses, her cheeks beneath the mask turned bright red, but she continued to follow Chiron's words.

"Um……"

No longer caring about whether she would be proven wrong later, Astraea just wanted to deal with the situation at hand.

“I have seen glimpses of this child’s future, but for some reasons I cannot say it. Please understand.”

Fortunately, those who can make prophecies are all riddle tellers, and Astraea's evasive words did not arouse Chiron's suspicion.

"I'm fine now, you don't need to support me anymore."

After confirming that the troublemaking Moro had satisfied her and let her go, Astrid sat down again.

After calming herself down, Astrid continued.

"I have something to say to you and this mother. You should put the child in the side hall to rest first."
