That's what Hephaestus and many other unigins were left to believe with those two's heated and conflicting relationship.
But in reality? Poseidon's motives go deeper than this...
At the moment, a strategic meeting was taking place in the heart of Poseidon's underwater palace, a grand structure of coral and pearl shimmering beneath the ocean's surface.
Poseidon sat upon his throne of seashells and tridents, his presence commanding and regal.
Beside him stood his right-hand subordinate, Admiral Nereus, a seasoned warrior known for his tactical acumen and unwavering loyalty.
Nereus's appearance was striking, with long, flowing hair that seemed to float in the water, and eyes as deep and blue as the ocean itself.
His position under Poseidon was much higher than even Duke Humphrey in the eyes of Hephaestus!
