'"Hrr," Hera twisted and turned on her bed for a while before finally finding the strength to just sit down on her bed
While rubbing her tired eyes she looked toward the window to see that the sun was well in the sky, at the same time in her mind the words of Maeron resounded in her mind
"Haa," she sighs helplessly
"He left me slept longer this time, that's true that I needed it," she smiled at the gesture
"Even though I'm stronger I still can't keep up with him
A few minutes later after her bath
Hera walked into her dining room in a magnificent white empire waist gown incrusted in pearl and diamond.
Her long dark freely flowing in the wind created a beautiful contrast.
She sat down on the table which was soon filled with delicacies
"We are so pleased to see you eat at the table again my queen, we are happy to see that you are feeling better," said one of the servant
"What made you think that I wasn't well," replied Hera looking at the servant
"It has been a while since you asked us to make you something to eat, after long enough with someone you end up noticing things," the servant said with a sly smile, "By the way my queen, should I bring another set of plate,"
Hera looked at the woman beside her without a word for a few seconds before replying
"No, not today, maybe later," she replied slowly while showing a complicated smile
"Understood!"
After that, the servant left without a word
'I have more allies beside me than I realized, I guess I never really pay attention,' she thought while slowwly eating her meal
****
An hour later
Hera nonchalantly walked into one of the many rooms of her sanctuary
Contrary to the other room this one was different, beautiful vegetation filled the room, and the color of the roses and their smell gracefully mixed to create a relaxing atmosphere.
she heard arriving at a table in the center of the room where her subordinates and friends were seated
"You are late!" she heard the voice full of exasperation of a young and beautiful red hair goddess
The behavior of the goddess surprised her for an instant before smiling
"Shut up Iris, how dare you talk to your queen like that, I already told you to change your stupid behavior,"
She didn't even have to respond when the voice of Evangeline, a blue-hair goddess seated in front of Iris started to complain loudly about her lack of respect
Anastasia the brown-haired goddess seated between her two friends calmly put down her tea before getting up and bowing a little
"Welcome my queen," seeing Anastasia salute her Evangeline quickly did the same, followed by Iris
"Let me get the chair for you!" said Evangeline, but before she did Hera stopped her
"No need," She said before pulling her seat to seat down
"Sorry for not greeting you properly... that idiot distracted me," Evangeline said looking at Iris scornfully
"Stop being such a boot licker, that's not the time for that, right!" said Iris with a smile as she looked at Hera who smiled at her as she knew that she was right, what she wanted right now were friends, not retainers
"It doesn't mean that you can be disrespectful!"
The two goddesses continue disrespecting each other under the eyes of Hera who observes their strange dynamic that lasted for thousands of years
"So Serea isn't coming," Anastasia finally said, she had noticed that there were only four-seats here
"This is one of the things that I wanted to talk to you about," Hera said with a sigh
"Serea betrayed me," she said calmly to her friends
"What! What do you mean by betrayed!" She screamed slamming her hand on the table
"Yes please explain,"
"It is my intention, a lot of things happened lately I need to talk about that, don't talk and listen to me until the end," she said taking a deep breath before starting her tale.
Like all women, Hera was quite talkative, her tale ended up nearly one hour later
In the end, the three women were left speechless and needed a few seconds to completely digest what they had heard
Iris was the first to break the silence
"Wait wait wait, one second, the most important... You have a lover!!" she shouted
Before being quickly restrained and her mouth blocked by the two goddesses "Shuuu..."
" you can't shout this kind of thing like that, what if someone hears you,"
"Humm showwy..." she tried to mumble some apologies threw their finger
While that was happening Hera casually said "That's fine," "That beauty," she tapped her left earing "isolates us from the outside world, we are still in this room, but at the same time we are no longer there, space power is really something," She explained proudly
"Oh, very useful" I Believed they finally left Iris's breath
"Is it a gift of your lover?!"
"That Maeron!" said Anastasia
After a few deep breaths, Iris joined her friends
"The son of your husband and brother!!"
"Your nephew!" Added Evangeline
"That's fuck up, like really fuck up!!" continued Iris with a wide smile that she couldn't and didn't want to hide
"Well, that kind of detail never deters the members of your line, huh" The veracity of that statement made the other goddesses chuckle,
"I swear I didn't know that he was his son, they don't look alike I mean Maeron is a lot more handsome like I never saw a god as breathtaking as him, the other is just handsome," she tried to explain herself
"So you are letting him sleep with other goddesses.?!"
"We need to talk about that. You are serious about letting your lover sleep with other goddesses!!"
"Only so that he can gain more strength!" she replied
"From what you said he could easily find a solution to that inconvenient," said Anastasia
"How can you even let him touch other goddesses, that's crazy!"
"The crazier part is that she is letting her lover strengthen himself so that he can take the throne of her husband!"
"I thought that marriage was sacred!"
"It is that's why I'm going to divorce him,"
"Before or after you overthrew him!" they asked
"Why are you giving me such a hard time right now, that's not like you at all, and you know very well that he deserves it, i never wanted to be the queen, yes I enjoy being the queen but he is the one who forced himself on me, then promise me all sort of nonsense that he never respected, humiliated me in front of everyone and now using one of my closest friends against me, so... I have enough of him that's understandable right" she defended herself vigorously
Her three friends exchanged a few looks before finally, Anastasia talked in a kinder tone full of comprehension
"Sorry we went too far, it's not like we don't understand, it's just that this is very sudden we have a lot of questions we want to know if you have thought it through,"
"But of course, we are fully with you whatever you decide," said Evangeline
"Yes, we just want to make sure that this Maeron didn't screw your brains out while screwing you to screw you over later!"
Iris's choice of words rendered everyone speechless for a few seconds not sure how to respond it was until
"Hahaha...." the laughter of Hera defended the atmosphere and the others followed suit
"screw your brains out while screwing you to screw you over later, haa," after a few seconds she calm down
"I honestly wouldn't put it past him," she said, and it made the rest go silent
"Then!"
"It's not exactly what he is doing, well how do I explain that, I think that he loves me, but he isn't in love with me, one of the reasons that he chose me in particular to be his queen instead of another and that he didn't just forcefully made me his is because Zeus love as much as he loves his throne then there is his others mistresses and children,"
"He wants to make it more painful for his father by taking what he loved and what he had leaving him with nothing," the calm explanation provided by Hera made the three goddesses tremble, they realized what kind of god Maeron was, not the kind that you want to have against you
"You need to be careful with him," they said to her
She smiles at their concern
"You don't have to worry like I said before he loves me I can feel it from the link between us, otherwise he would have just made me her puppet and there is nothing that I could've done about that, on hatred is focused and directed to his father and with all the different power that he has already started to gather I think that he is already stronger than him, "
Sensing the discomfort of her friend she smiles at them
"How about we change subject, let's talk about what I should do Serea for betraying me or about the fact that I'm getting stronger just by having sex,"
