Chereads / Zeus — Mythology Series #1 / Chapter 15 - Chapter Thirteen

Chapter 15 - Chapter Thirteen

After the conversation between Zeus and Hestia, Zeus began to ignore his sister again. Hestia, on the other hand, continues to watch Hera's son. Sometimes she was the guard of the baby together with Demeter.

The three kingdoms have a meeting today and Hestia is expecting her brother, Poseidon, to come so that they can talk about their plans for Hera and Zeus' son. Hestia is now assigned to tell their brother Hades about the upcoming meeting. She left early to to the Underworld.

Zeus on the other hand, prepares for the upcoming meeting and also when he and Hades meet again. His brother has been angry with him for a long time and he knows that until now his brother still hates him.

"Will I still come to your meeting later?"

Zeus turned to his wife and gave her a kiss.

"No need, dear. Just watch over our child. Joshua will definitely look for you."

"I will take care of him."

Demeter suddenly entered their room causing the couple to break their hug.

"No need Demeter. Hera will-"

"Yes thank you sister! I need to attend Zeus. I'm the queen and the queen shall be there in order to know what will happen or what rules you'll make."

"But-"

"No buts. Thank you Demeter."

Demeter nodded and smiled at the two of them. Zeus is worried because Hestia and Demeter may be allies and they have a plan to do something dangerous.

Hestia has reached the Underworld and as expected, Hades' guards have blocked her.

"Let me in."

"Who are you?"

Newbies huh.

"You don't know me?"

Suddenly the chief guard came out and he immediately recognized Hestia. He bowed and paid respect. The newly appointed guard was surprised by what his colleague had done. Hestia nodded and looked at the new guard.

"Still don't know me?"

The guard did not give up. He even blocked the door and did not let Hestia in. His companion just shook his head and pushed him away from the door.

"What are you doing? Outsiders should not be allowed in. Hades will be angry."

"Are you out of your mind? She's the goddess Hestia, one of Hades' siblings. Let her in you fool."

Hestia just smiled and went inside. She caught up with Persephone who was fixing herself up.

"You're attending the meeting?"

Persephone turned around and suddenly hugged Hestia. They're best friends and even though Hades hates them, Persephone feels the opposite way.

"What are you doing here? And no, I'm not attending. I just want to be beautiful."

"You're beautiful even without make up Persephone. By the way, where's my dearest brother?"

"I'm here Hestia."

The goddess turned around and saw Hades walking towards them. He gave Persephone a deep kiss which made Hestia feel awkward.

"Ehem, I'm right here."

Persephone felt ashamed so she immediately moved away from Hades to broke the kiss.

"What do you want?"

"I just wanted to hand you this."

Hestia handed over an envelope containing an invitation to the meeting later.

"I'm not going?"

"Not going? You're one of the rulers. You should come."

"Why should I?"

Hestia shook her head and looked at Hades for a long time. This is one of her ways to make her brother come to the meetings of the kingdoms. Persephone is confused and doesn't know what is happening.

"Are you two okay? Should I call the police? Oh wait, there's no police here in the Underworld. Hey! Stop staring at each other!"

Hades did not give up and looked at Hestia as well. Their staring contest continues until Hades' finally gave up.

"Fine you win! Now go and leave my kingdom."

"I won't believe you. Pinky promise?"

"What the hell Hestia? You're not a kid anymore."

"Pinky promise?"

Hades looked at her furiously but Hestia still remained calm. She's even smiling to make her brother more pissed. Hades sealed their pinkys and Hestia went out of her brother's kingdom. Before she left, she turned to the new guard and touched his face.

"Next time, if you'll still block my way, I will make sure that your whole body will burn into fine ash. Do you understand me?"

The guard agreed. Hestia smiled and walked away.

"Tsk. Cowards."
