Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 943 I, Athena, have survived to this day entirely thanks to my intelligence and wisdom.
"Where did you get this wine?"

Alcmene, who had just entered, stared in astonishment at the wine jug on the ground, the air filled with a sweet aroma.

And Alcides, who was drunk and passed out in bed, hiccuping.

Who's so heartless as to give alcohol to a child as young as a few years old?!

Alcmene rushed to check on her daughter's condition, while Astraea looked at the familiar wine vessel and her lips twitched slightly.

She created opportunities for Eros to see the children, but Eros, that scoundrel, ended up teaching such young children to drink alcohol.

Despite her anger, she still had to cover for Eros.

"This is a divine wine that someone gave me, how did this little guy manage to take it out and drink it?"

"But since she's already drunk it, let's just leave it at that. This divine wine won't harm her body; at most, it'll just make her sleep for a while longer."

Astraea covered for Eros, concealing the matter and bringing the matter to a definitive conclusion.

It must have been a child who was playing around and accidentally drank it while rummaging through things. But it's nothing serious, just a minor incident.

Alcides silently took the blame for his playfulness, which made Alcmene apologize repeatedly, feeling embarrassed for him.

As for the real culprit, he was simply observing the unfolding events from the sidelines.

"Hiss... Alcmene, how come she seems even more alluring after becoming a mother?"

Where no one could see him, Eros made disparaging remarks about the child's mother, his words filled with scorn.

The once naive young girl has become more mature and gentle after becoming a mother, but she still retains the naivety and innocence of a young girl.

This mixture of qualities actually made it more palatable to Eros.

However, now is not a good time to take action against them. Eros needs to take a step-by-step approach and turn these people against him.

For example, let's start with Athena.

Eros quickly left the Sanctuary; he no longer needed to prove anything to Alcmene.

Eros needed to go to Athena first and have a proper talk with her, rather than her.

He headed straight for Athena's temple, navigating Olympus as if it were his own backyard, and no one dared to stop him.

Before he even arrived, Athena, who was engrossed in her work in the temple, had a bad feeling and broke the pen in her hand.

"Wait, why do I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen?"

As a goddess with a certain divine function of prophecy, this feeling is definitely not unfounded; there must be a reason for it.

The goddess of wisdom's mind began to work at lightning speed, searching for the place where she might have encountered trouble.

No, it should be said that it's the person who can bring me this ominous feeling.

Athena chose Eros without the slightest hesitation.

Although I don't know the reason, it must be that this guy has some bad idea or something he wants to do with me, otherwise I wouldn't have this bad feeling for no reason.

Athena instinctively stood up and almost immediately prepared to go out and find a place to hide.

As long as you just hide for a bit and wait for Eros's enthusiasm to pass, everything will be fine.

But as soon as she stood up, Eros arrived.

"Hey, what are you doing? Just standing there without moving?"

Eros entered as if it were his own home, naturally found a suitable spot, and lay down on his back.

Fortunately, he didn't shamelessly come up and hug her, which meant he wasn't after *that* kind of thing. This small detail made Athena feel much more at ease.

Ever since her avatar was eaten outside, Athena has been somewhat worried, fearing that her true form might also be eaten at some point.

But that day never came, and as time went on, Athena relaxed a little and temporarily forgot about it.

But Eros's sudden arrival today, along with a premonition, brought back the forgotten crisis of her chastity to her mind.

"Why are you coming to see me at this hour?"

Although Athena felt a growing sense of crisis, she remained calm and composed on the surface, just as she always had.

Based on her understanding of Eros, as long as she didn't give him a chance, she would maintain this cold and indifferent attitude.

Although Eros would tirelessly provoke and extend his claws, he wouldn't rush into action for the sake of endless amusement.

Conversely, if you show weakness or panic in front of him, it will only embolden him, making him go further and further until he is completely devoured.

Athena understood Eros's psychology perfectly; otherwise, how could she have remained pure and innocent in the great melting pot of Olympus?
She had known Eros for so long and had a deep connection with him, and she didn't have any special seniority or identity to protect her. The reason she has managed to avoid being harmed all this time is because of her own caution and intelligence!

Staying a virgin is really cool!
However, Eros came prepared today.

So he didn't start off with his usual groping and hugging.

The fact that he doesn't usually do that suggests he's plotting something much bigger.

"What am I here for? Aren't you the goddess of wisdom? Aren't you good at guessing? Why don't you try to guess?"

Eros chuckled, and although he smiled, Athena could hear the obvious sarcasm in his voice.

Although their relationship was such that Eros couldn't possibly be really angry with her, Athena still had to rack her brains to figure out where she had left him with a handle against her.

After a moment's thought, and considering the faint scent on Eros, Athena easily deduced the correct conclusion.

"You just came back from the Sanctuary?"

Athena asked tentatively, recalling that this time should be around the time when Alcides was arranged to enter the Sanctuary.

If there's anything Eros has leverage over, it's this one thing.

"It's not just the Holy Realm, is it? You think I'm bluffing you? Tell me honestly, what's the deal with that child?"

By only mentioning the Sanctuary and not Alcides, Athena clearly had a backup plan from the start to avoid being tricked.

However, Eros had no intention of testing her and directly brought up Alcides' name.

Now that it was confirmed that this matter had been made public, Athena stopped beating around the bush and answered directly.

"How can you be so sure this has anything to do with me? I could easily explain that I was unaware of it at all; it was just an accident."

"Or perhaps I'm just making excuses, saying I don't know who Alcides' father is, and that I only took him into the Sanctuary because I was eager to hunt him down."

"With so many possibilities, how can you so readily come to me to interrogate me?"

With a series of remarks, Athena quickly regained control of the conversation, and her momentum even surpassed that of Eros.

"Is this your explanation?"

"No, I'm too lazy to argue with you about this. I just want to say one thing."

Athena glanced at Eros and uttered a soft sound.

"You should be thanking me for this!"
