And she emphasized the word "good daughter" very strongly.

First there was Hephaestus, then Athena... Indeed, she was a good daughter!

Although Hera is not Athena's biological mother, she is the legal wife of Zeus, the current Olympian god, so Athena is naturally her daughter.

Facing Hera's pointed question, Athena's smile did not change at all.

"Mother Goddess Hera, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean to hide from you."

Athena said frankly.

Although this statement caused Hera to sneer, it was not a lie.

Because she had no need to hide from Hera at all. Even if Hera knew the truth, it would not have much impact on Athena.

She was hiding from Jason...Athena subconsciously hid herself in a state of helplessness and not knowing how to face Jason.

At the same time, it's also because of fear.

Athena was afraid that she would not be able to control herself in front of Jason and would reveal her true feelings, which would be noticed by Jason.

Then I couldn't see him anymore.

And Athena was also afraid, afraid that she would not be able to control herself.

He imprisoned Jason.

That way you will lose the chance to truly get him forever.

Because of this, she was often ridiculed and mocked by Medusa.

They laughed at her, a main god of Olympus, a dazzling goddess of wisdom even among all gods, and now she had become like this.

Athena, your throne as the goddess of wisdom is crying for this.

However, if she is not the goddess of wisdom.

Falling in love with another person is a forbidden fruit for her, something that should never be touched by the wise goddess.

Athena wouldn't become like this.

"Goddess Amphitrite, he is seeking your help."

Then Athena ignored Hera's reaction and whispered to Amphitrite, "As the most benevolent goddess of the sea, I'm sure you would never refuse such a small request, right?"

Amphitrite looked at Athena, then stole a glance at Hera.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally used his power.

Then an invisible force dragged Jason and the sea monster Scylla out of the whirlpool and sent them all the way to a nearby isolated island.

Hera watched this scene indifferently.

"I know you want to know the truth, Mother Goddess Hera, but... it is not my job to give you an answer." Athena came to her side.

"The boy is waiting for you now... He's going to tell you everything."

Athena pointed to Jason, who had climbed up from the island below and expressed his gratitude to Amphitrite, and said to Hera.

"You arranged all this, Athena." Hera said calmly, without even turning her head, "Aren't you afraid that I'll just slap him to death?"

"You won't do that... If you really want to beat him to death, no one can stop you, great Mother Hera."

Athena smiled and continued when Hera frowned slightly, "And Mother Hera, I am willing to swear by the River of Oath that this was not my idea, nor was it the result of my instructions.

To be more precise, from the moment the Argo sets sail until the end of this journey, I will not take any action to guide Jason."

"Why?" Hera finally turned her head and looked at Athena beside her.

"Because it is my tribute...the tribute that child gave to me."

If it were in the past, when talking about tribute, Athena would definitely raise her head and speak in a proud and boastful tone.

But now... her expression became uncontrollably gloomy.

And seems a bit lonely.

Hera looked at Athena in confusion.

Athena naturally didn't answer and turned away from Hera.

Then, after a brief silence, Hera finally took a step forward and disappeared from the sight of the gods present.

Seeing this, the hearth goddess Hestia couldn't help but sigh and said, "We've finally come to this... Will Athena be okay?"

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Athena smiled and replied to Hestia confidently, "After all, he's Jason!"

Yes, that was Jason who never let them down once!

but......

"I'm still a little worried. Isn't it a bit... too dangerous to let that child meet Hera alone?" Amphitrite couldn't help but ask, "How about we call Hephaestus over?"

"No, Hephaestus must not be called... To be more precise, Hecate and Hephaestus must not appear at this moment!"

Athena shook her head, her expression becoming serious, and said, "Even we'd better not look at them.

Although the danger does exist, this is also the only chance!"

"...That's why I didn't agree from the beginning." Hestia couldn't help but say, "It's too risky!

Obviously, we just need to keep it a secret until the child becomes one of us, and then Hera will naturally accept him."

This was also Jason's plan at the beginning.

A reference to Hercules, who would become Hercules in the future.

When they were on equal footing, Hera had no choice but to acknowledge Hercules even though she was unwilling.

Originally, everyone planned to let Jason tell the truth to Hera after he became a god.

Athena did not respond to Hestia's complaint.

Initially, Athena did plan to do so, but the agreement with the second generation Queen Rhea forced her to give up the idea.

The reason why goddess Rhea wanted Jason to confess his identity to Hera and seek Hera's forgiveness before becoming a god was very simple.

She didn't want to see a second Hephaestus appear.

If Jason reveals his true feelings to Hera after becoming a god, their relationship will always remain superficial.

The greater the danger, the greater the reward.

If Jason could really get Hera's forgiveness at this moment.

Then the love for Hercules in White and the hatred for Jason will produce a huge chemical reaction.

From then on, Jason will truly become a member of the Olympian pantheon, a being favored by almost all the gods!

It was with this in mind that Athena finally agreed to Rhea's request.

Give your favorite child the corresponding test.

At the end of the test, an equal reward will be given.

Athena never had the idea of tricking Jason.

Because when she realized her true feelings, she knew that she could no longer take her eyes off Jason.

Her heart...has already belonged to someone.

And all along, more than one god has seen this.

When the goddess Rhea was talking about Phoebus, she told Athena that she fell in love with the young man...but Athena didn't care about it.

Hephaestus and Hecate have also been saying that the only goddess they need to be wary of is Athena.

The gods have said more than once that Athena doted on Jason to an unreasonable degree.

Even the God King Zeus, since some time ago, has been increasingly allowing Athena and Jason to get along, and to be more precise, he even has the intention of bringing them together...

But when Athena realized this, it was too late.

Jason naturally would not notice it. After all, who could have imagined that the almighty goddess of wisdom, the pearl of the Olympian temple, swore to be a virgin forever, would not be loved by any god, and would not fall in love with any god, Athena.

I actually fell in love with him,

This ordinary Jason.

......

sunset dusk,

Jason looked at the setting sun in the distance.

I don't know what I was thinking.

Click...

Accompanied by a soft sound beside his ear, Jason suddenly turned his head and saw a goddess walking slowly towards him, dressed in dignified clothes, graceful and beautiful.

Hera, the Queen of Heaven...

Seeing her coming... to be exact, she finally arrived.

Jason's eyes widened slightly, his body stiffened for a moment, and then quickly relaxed.

Jason exhaled slowly, stood up and bowed respectfully to Hera.

Then neither of them spoke.

Hera's beautiful golden eyes stared quietly at the young man in front of her.

After a long moment, a complexity that could not be described in words flashed across his eyes.

"This test...how do you plan to answer it?"

Finally Hera spoke. She turned her head to look at Scylla, who was brought to the island by Amphitrite's divine power and had not woken up yet.

"And why did you bring her here, away from the Argo?"

Hera asked Jason.

In fact, she didn't care how Jason would deal with Scylla. She just wanted to use this opportunity to make a final observation.

Or perhaps it was the last bit of struggle in her heart.

"Lord Hermes has already told me that her name is Scylla. She was originally a beautiful water nymph, but because of the curse cast by my senior sister, the night witch Circe, she became what she is today."

Facing Hera's question, Jason answered in a very calm tone, saying: "As a student of Hecate, I feel ashamed of her.

But the Argonauts, the companions on the Argonauts, were worthy of her.

So in response to her attack, I ordered my companions on the Argo to fight back, but when she was injured and about to be swallowed by the whirlpool, I left the Argo.

I saved her in my own name... not as the captain of the Argo, but as Jason, the student of Hecate."

Jason looked at Hera and continued to say to her, “The Argo has passed this test, but I have not.

So I left the Argo for a short time.

I will remove the curse from Scylla and then take her to see my teacher and my senior sister, the Night Witch Circe.

Seek her forgiveness.

This... is my answer to this question!"

At the same time, there is more to it than that.

What follows is undoubtedly the most dangerous moment, and this is why Jason chose to temporarily leave the Argo and even instructed Atalanta.

That comes from the wrath of Queen Hera!

Hera was silent, taking in the response Jason gave.

She was looking at Jason, the blond girl with blue eyes in front of her. Under the light of the setting sun, he still looked so dazzling, comparable to the god of light Apollo.

Hera's gaze...became even colder.

"So?" Hera said coldly, "You prayed to me, prayed for me to come here, because you wanted me to help you remove the curse from her?"

"No, it's not."

Jason shook his head slightly and said to Hera, "I already have a way to break the spell on the water nymph Scylla. This time... I have come to you, the honorable goddess Hera, to confess something."

"......frank?"
