The sun had disappeared from the sky leaving the night to settle at its rightful place
From Olympus the moon appears even bigger than usual, with her stars it provides a little bit of light in the dark.
In the sanctuary of Aphrodite a silhouette illuminated by the moonlight.
They advance uninterrupted toward their destination, Aphrodite's resting room where she relaxes on a beautifully crafted chair and drinks her tea
The sound of the door creaking resounds and from then Zeus enters the room
"Welcome my king," said Aphrodite putting her teacup on the table and put a kneel on the ground
"Get up," he responded taking a seat before allowing her with a gesture of the hand to sit back down
"What can I do for you my king!" she said respectfully
"You are quite formal today,"
"Ha!" She offered a nervous laugh
"I had a… well two unexpected visits today. It put me a little bit on edge," she responded And there were no falsehoods in her words, after all, she had a visit from Hera to whom she was now completely subservient via Maeron, and the situation was completely different now
And now Zeus was in front of her if he was to realize what transpired between Her, Hera, and Maeron she would know that her fate was sealed
"This is why I'm here. What did you discuss with my wife when she came today," he asked his gaze deep clearly looking for any trace of deception
"Well to be honest we didn't talk, she just gave me an order!"
"An order!?" he question
"Yes! She wanted me to give one of my guests, for a test, as she put it. She claimed that it wouldn't be anything dangerous but knowing her I decided to give her a now unwelcome one, and from the state that he was in when she gave him back I made the right decision," she explained slowly to Zeus who was patiently listening to her tale before asking
"Bring him to me!" he commanded and seconds later the man was hands and knees on the ground Zeus could see that he was having trouble even staying conscious
"Curses!" he said looking at the man, he could see that he had been cursed and that was obviously done by Hera he could recognize such
After observing the man he leaned back on the chair his mind elsewhere, and after a while got up
"Thank you for your cooperation," he said walking up
"How was that?" a voice asked, Zeus didn't have to turn to recognize which one of his children it was, Appolo the blue-eyed golden hair and his dazzling beauty
"Nothing serious, she needed to blow of some steams while waiting for the completion of Serea's tasks and as she doesn't want to alert us, she is lashing out at some people who have nothing to do with the matter at hand," he explained his deduction to his son
"Anyway, thank you for the notice, continue to pay attention," Zeus said to his son while they flew away

Hera's palace
In her bathroom, Hera was relaxing in her immense bathtub
Her beauty and sensuality was fully on display in that environment,
The pearly droplets of water ran unrestrained on her magnificent and unblemished skin while she reviewed the gains of the day
"That new divinity is absolutely incredible,"
'Using that adequately I can gain the allegiance and control over most of the gods of Olympus, after all, more than half of them frequent Aphrodite's place, openly or not, It may be another reason why he chose her in second place,' she thought carefully
'Even when I'm the one breaking the contract I can annul the penalty that should befall me, or maybe this is because he was weaker than me, I will have to wait for Maeron to come if I want to test that,'
'I need a way to subtly make them submit to me,' she thought for a few seconds but nothing immediately came to her mind for them to submit to her
But another idea flourished in her mind
'Or maybe I can just take the easier option and create a contract making them submit to Aphrodite with me as a guarantor of sort of the respect of the contract...'
After a few more seconds she smiles brightly
'Then I can have Aphrodite submit to me using another contract more adapted, this is a much better approach after all this is obvious that this one will not stop to just one or two wives, he even told me that he intended to sleep with with nearly all goddesses of Olympus!!'
'And I'm helping him with that plan, now I'm wondering which one of them is worse in that aspect,' she made a self-deprecation smile before it turned into a bright one
"Hm, at least I chose this one,"
After a few minutes of introspection, her mind drifted toward another subject
'I must talk to Anastasia, Evangeline, and Iris about Serea's betrayal, Maeron, and the plan,'
'He needs to sleep with goddesses to be able to copy their powers, and as I promised to help him, I'm gonna have to think of something to make them agree to sleep with him now I'm looking for ways to convince my friends to sleep with my lover!'
"Haa!" she sighs loudly
"I went from not tolerating any form of cheating, to being a cheater myself to actively plot to make others sleep with my man," she sighed again defeated
"I guess this is what being down bad means," said a voice, Hera's heart skipped a beat
"Splashh," from below the water silhouette in front of her
"Fuhh," Hera let out a huge sigh of relief as she saw that the person in front of her was none other than Maeron, but it only lasted a second before
"Bang," An explosion resounded in the bathroom
"How can you just appear in front of me in a moment like that?! Do you have any idea how scared I was at that moment, I thought that my heart was going to stop," she screamed and cried at the same time
"Hahaha..." Maeron was mostly indifferent and just laughed a little before catching her naked frame in his hand and pressing her against his chest he could feel his breasts resting on his chest, only his clothes were stopping him from feeling them fully so he decided to get rid of them with a thought
Now free he could feel her breasts against his skin, he could feel her temperature rise as he lean and kissed her while moving his hand lower until they rest on her ass that she groped unceremoniously
"Hm!" she moans while he is kissing her
"You are so easily excitable, it's like we haven't been together for a long time," he said
"Maybe it was a long time," she replied sensually before taking charge before kissing his lips, moving to his neck, nipples one after the other before liking his abs and continuing to lower herself until she was facing his massive rod
"And here I was hoping to be the one to take care of you after seeing how hard you seem and how devoted you are," he said enjoying the service
"We have time for that, for now, let me take care of you, as thanks for the gift that you gave me," she said opening her lips wide to take his shaft in her mouth

A few hours later
Maeron and Hera could be seen laying down on the massive bed resting after the exercise in the bathroom
"You were more proactive than usual," he said with a smile
"Well, you have given me a good reason to," she said snuggling in his arms
"I guess, so what do you think of that power?!" he asked
They started to discuss it, what she had already learned, the different possibilities and potential weakness
After that he changed the subject, "I'm gonna have to meet Ephaestos soon," Maeron said he could feel the mood change a little but it didn't last long
"I know, you have already postponed it for too long, you, we need those daggers," she said seriously
"It shouldn't be complicated to convince him," he reassured
"So you have finally decided to talk to your three sisters about what we are planning, what did you plan to convince them and about me, or maybe you're just going to order them," he said switching topic
"Ordered them! No, I'm not doing that," she said firmly
"I know," he responded not surprised by her response
"They will be on our side I'm sure of that, and you seem to think that too, aren't you?" she asked and he just smiled at that
"I admit I'm a little worried about their reaction particularly when I will tell them about you, but I have a good way to convince them, don't worry!" she said
"I'm not," he replied before they closed their eyes.
