My mother's love song

Hades nodded, and instead of hanging Rhodes back on the chains, he just let him lie on the ground like a rag.

"Well, see you tomorrow."

The Queen of the Underworld waved to Rhodes, smiled, and walked out of the prison with graceful steps.

After Hades left the prison, Rhodes' tense mind finally relaxed.

The last thought before losing consciousness was, “Ahh… my throat… is broken from shouting.”

After that, I don’t know how much time passed.

Exhausted and unable to move, Rhodes collapsed on the damp ground, in a state of half asleep and half awake.

He didn't even know when he fainted.

Suddenly, Rhodes had a strange feeling.

It feels like entering a hot spring after being outside all day in winter.

There is a stream of clear, warm hot water flowing in the long-dried body.

The damaged magic circuits seemed to be repairing themselves, as magic power flowed into the broken channels and they began to heal themselves.

Repairing the magic circuit consumed a large amount of magic power, but at the same time, more magic power flowed into his body from outside the body.

"This familiar magic is..."

Waves of magical power quickly entered Rhodes' body.

……

……

……

"……Well."

As his magic power recovered, Rhodes' half-dead consciousness gradually became clear, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Then he saw a familiar face.

Rhodes' eyes gradually widened, and his pupils reflected the trance-like beauty, making him think for a moment that he was still dreaming.

Her graceful and steady appearance exudes the noble temperament that only a goddess possesses.

Her long golden hair is like ripe ears of wheat, and her gentle eyes are as attractive as gems.

This woman who looks almost exactly like the goddess of soil and earth Demeter is none other than Persephone, who was abducted by Hades to the underworld and became the queen of the underworld.

"Adonis...you're finally awake. I'm sorry I'm late."

Persephone had a sad expression on her face, and her hands trembled uncontrollably as she stroked Rhodes' cheek.

"Ahh... You're seriously injured... This is too much. Lord Hades actually did this to you..."

Needless to say, it should be clear that she was the one who transferred the magic power to Rhodes through a kiss.

Thanks to her, Rhodes' injuries from the Queen of the Underworld were almost healed.

"Persephone, why are you here?"

Rhodes raised his upper body and looked in surprise at the Queen of the Underworld who had sneaked into the dungeon to see him.

There was a faint blush on her fair cheeks, and Persephone stared at Rhodes' face with moist eyes, and said calmly.

"That should be what I am saying. Adonis, why are you in the underworld?"

Her voice was very soft. If someone was not familiar with her, they would think she was acting coquettishly to a man, but only Rhode knew that was not the case.

There was a hint of anger in Persephone's voice.

"Let me ask you, are you planning to do anything to Lord Hades?"

The goddess's expression changed from the gentle atmosphere just now and became very serious.

Rhodes said bluntly: "It has nothing to do with Hades. I came to the underworld to find you on the behalf of your mother Demeter.

Demeter was deeply saddened by your passing, so...she hoped that I could bring you back to the earth."

After he said this, a hint of panic flashed in the Queen of the Underworld's eyes.

"I don't understand. I don't understand, Adonis...why do you have to say such things..."

The goddess covered her face and choked up, “You know very well that I can’t leave Lord Hades, even if that’s what my mother wants.

Only I, only I, will never leave her... Even if everyone ignores her, I can't give up on Lord Hades.

Adonis, you should know this better than anyone else!"

"Persephone..."

Rhodes didn't know what to say.

The throat that had just been healed felt a dull pain as if it was torn.

Rhodes whispered: "...I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize, Adonis. Instead of this...can you hug me?"

Persephone whispered as she sobbed.

Rhodes hesitated for a moment, said "hmm", and then gently hugged the goddess' trembling body.

Persephone was no longer as plump as she once was, like her mother, the goddess of abundance.

Rhodes could clearly feel that she was thinner than before after coming to the underworld.

"Hades, did she bully you?"

"No."

Persephone leaned her face against Rhodes' chest and said with a sad expression.

"However, because of your arrival, Lord Hades's mood has become very unstable in the past two days...

I'm worried. What should I do if Lord Hades turns back to his old self?

Adonis...what should I do?"

"It's fine."

Rhodes held Persephone's slender white hand tightly.

"It's all right, Persephone. I'll find a way. I'll find a way.

I will find a way to solve all these problems, please believe me."

"…Yeah. I believe you, Adonis."

Persephone raised her head slightly, reached out and stroked Rhodes' cheek, and smiled unconsciously: "Haha... I miss it so much, it's been a long time since I was hugged by you like this.

If Hades knew that I came to see you secretly, she would be furious again... hehe."

"Hehe, is that so... Then let's do something to make that idiot even angrier."

Rhodes suddenly pushed Persephone to the cold cell floor.

************************************************** *

*****************************************

"Wait, wait... Adonis, no."

The blush on the goddess' cheeks was extremely bright, and she pushed her hands on Rhodes' chest, showing her resistance.

"Why not? Aren't you my woman? Before you become the Queen of the Underworld, you are my woman first, aren't you?

Even Hades cannot deny this."

As he spoke, Rhodes skillfully massaged the goddess' waist with his only remaining right hand.

"... Ugh, no means no... I'm not in the mood for that right now."

In response to the goddess's words, Rhode asked with a half-smile, "Is it because of Hades? Hehehe, are you afraid that someone will know about our relationship?"

"Why are you mentioning Lord Hades' name here!?"

Persephone's eyes widened and her cheeks puffed up angrily, and Rhodes straightened his back quickly.

"Hahaha... just kidding."

The goddess raised her eyebrows and said, "This joke is not funny at all. Don't use this as a joke again in the future."

"Yes, yes, I'm so vulgar...I'm sorry."

Rhodes smiled bitterly, and then tried his best to persuade the angry Persephone to feel better.

Seeing that the goddess was no longer angry, Rhodes spoke seriously.

"But I really want to hug you now, Persephone... because I urgently need to recover my magic power. If I don't have enough magic power, I can't do anything."

""

Persephone folded her arms and stared at Rhodes' face for a long time.

"Really? Really just to restore mana?"

"Well, really."

"Um……"

The goddess sighed softly, pursed her thin lips, raised her beautiful eyes with moist luster and glanced at the boy.

"Before that you have to promise me one thing."

Rhode nodded desperately: "Don't say just one, I'll promise you even if it's ten thousand."

Persephone said, "After you regain your magic power, you must not do anything dangerous."

"no problem."

The goddess placed her slender fingers on her delicate chin, stared at the ceiling of the prison and murmured, "Well, then..."

"Didn't you just say there was only one thing?"

Persephone rolled her eyes at him, and Rhodes immediately shut his mouth.

"You must absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not... absolutely not harm Lord Hades.

If you hurt Lord Hades, I will hate you forever."

"Of course!"

After saying this, Rhodes lowered his head like a Japanese.

This was not meant to express his seriousness.

Just to prevent Persephone from seeing his current expression.

I'm sorry, Persephone, I lied to you again.

Not hurting Hades...is impossible.

If you want to know why

Because the real purpose of my coming to the underworld this time is to kill her.

"Thank you, Adonis."

Hearing what Rhode said, Persephone breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly, "Lady Hades is very similar to you. She is clumsy and stubborn like you, and she is not very good at expressing herself...

Adonis, I sincerely hope you don't hate her for her rudeness to you."

"Yeah, yeah. I know. Let's not talk about such serious topics."

Rhode excitedly grabbed the soft shoulders of the Queen of Hell and swallowed his saliva: "Is this all right? I have agreed to all your requests."

"Yeah, alright. Adonis, I'm really just helping you recover your magic power, okay? Don't bully me on purpose like you did before... woo."

By the time she was halfway through her speech, Persephone's cheeks were already red.

She lowered her head, her beauty unparalleled, and finally uttered two words: "Adonis, hold me..."

"Yes, Lady Goddess!"
