Chereads / Zeus — Mythology Series #1 / Chapter 4 - Chapter Two

Chapter 4 - Chapter Two

Hera returned earlier than Zeus. She immediately put the potion in her pocket that is given to her by the sorcerer and resumed her work.

Zeus arrived shortly after. He went to Hera's room and gave her another flower.

"It seems like you're giving flowers too often."

Zeus smiled and sat down on Hera's bed.

"How many times do I have to tell you that I love you just to make you believe it."

Hera laid the flower on her table.

"Zeus, I'm your older sister. You can't love me more than that."

"You are the god of everything and you have to fulfill your role. There are many women to meet and I know you will also find the one who will truly love you."

"Why not you?"

Hera was surprised by what Zeus said. She felt like there were butterflies in her stomach that wanted to come out. Is she falling for her own brother? No. She should not feel the same way like her brother does. Zeus is her brother and she will break the law if she'll love him.

"You know that it's impossible. You'll can break the law that was proposed by our father."

Zeus sighed. He does not know what to do. He stood up and approached Hera. He stroked his sister's cheek and stared at her face.

"I will never get tired of staring at you. You are the most beautiful woman in my sight."

Hera turned her face away from Zeus. She went to her desk and arranged the flowers she had placed there. "

"You need to go back to your room Zeus."

"I would like to invite you to have dinner with me if it's okay."

Hera was suddenly nervous. It seems that this is Zeus' plan to charm her. Suddenly her hands were sweaty and she did not know what to answer. She turned slowly and smiled at the god.

"I would love to."

Zeus smiled and left her room. She sat down suddenly and wiped her face.

"I have to pretend. I have to pretend that Zeus really enchanted me. If that does not happen, he will suspect that I did something to fight his charm."

In a few minutes Hera was ready. She wore the dress his sister Demeter had given her. It seems that any man who sees her wearing that dress will fall in love with her.

Hera went to the dining room and found her brother holding a flower. Zeus smiled and approached Hera. He handed over the flower and invited the goddess to sit down.

Before Hera left her room, she took the potion given to her by the witch. She noticed that the color of his drink was different from Zeus' drink. It was there that she thought that Zeus had already enchanted her drink. She smiled at his brother before sitting down. Zeus returned to his seat and stared at Hera.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Do I have dirt on my face?"

"You're so beautiful tonight."

Hera's cheek suddenly warmed up. She knew that it's her brother she's talking to but she is also a woman and could not help but be thrilled by every word Zeus uttered.

"Thank you. Do you have something important to say?"

Zeus shook his head. Hera already knew the purpose of her brother. She just has to pretend and she thinks Zeus already believes in her acting.

"I propose a shot because until now the three worlds are still peaceful."

The god raised his glass and drank. Although hesitant, Hera also drank. She must believe that the potion given to her is effective.

Zeus waited for the goddess's reaction. He put the potion in her drink so the color changed. Hera didn't seem to notice that. Moments later, the goddess grabbed her head. Zeus could not hide the joy of seeing Hera dizzy. He finally succeeded in his plan. Even if he did something wrong, he could do nothing more. It happened and he was happy because of it.

He waited for a while and Hera completely lost consciousness. He approached the goddess and took the bottle out of his pocket. She heard what Hera said about fighting his charm so he changed it right away. He will not let the goddess be separated from him.

"You are mine now Hera and you can't do anything about it."
