Years passed and After that child's death there's is no more news of the prophecy. everything is settled now.
King thinks that now his precious daughter will never leave him so he also frees Princess Shia from every restriction
She can roam around her kingdom and do all the things which the other immortals of her kingdom do
"Yeah. Shia let's go to the flower kingdom?" the princess's friend chirp
"Yeah sure. But why all of sudden?"~ Shia
"Ummm just, I want to see flowers you know I heard about flowers and they are colorful and beautiful, " Her friend says making Shia suspicious of her.
Like why she takes a sudden interest in the flower kingdom, it's not like she like the flowers and all
She shrugged that thought "okay but we will go there tomorrow, it's getting dark here now "~Shia
" Okay but Don't forget. Bye~" They bid their goodbyes and head toward their mansions
****** *********** ******
"Shia " King chirps seeing his daughter.
"Dad what are you doing here? Don't you have to pay a visit to HELL?" Shia questioned.
"Yeah I have to but Daeshim will do that for me because I want to spend time with my small baby " King hades cooed in a happy yet stern tone
He is the king of darkness, it's his nature to be as stern as iron, he tried his best to be polite to his daughter, He, himself doesn't know why he has so much attachment to her
Even though he doesn't love Daeshim as he loves Shia, he is the prince Indeed, the king wants him to be like him cruel, heartless, and rude. But he doesn't want to show any kind of expression to Shia.
"REALLY DAD? YOU WANT TO spend time with me " Shia's eyes grew widened in excitement.
She doesn't even realize that in excitement she raises her voice over his father, the king doesn't seem to offend
"Haha yes, my baby girl so let's go inside. I have so many things to talk about "~king
Shia skipped happily with her father toward her room
" Here. King " She handed her dad a book, an ancient book where the story of all gods, goddesses, beasts, and mortals are written.
"You want me to read this to you?" the King says, frowning.
Shia nods excitedly. Her dad Shrug off the thought and brings his daughter near him, opens the book's page
"Who is she dad?" Y/n points at a beautiful woman, she looks like the whole beauty of the universe Starts from her and also ends at her.
"She is one of the goddesses her name is Aphrodite. She is a goddess of beauty Aphrodite was born from the white foam produced by the severed genitals of Uranus (Heaven), "
Shia makes 'O' shaped while nodding her head in understanding
"And he dad?" the princess again points at a man
"He is Amun-Ra. God of the sun and air. One of the most powerful and popular gods of ancient Egypt, patron of the city of Thebes, where he was worshipped as part of the Theban Triad of Amun,"
The princess and her dad read this book for a while when something attracts her attention she looks at that curiously
'Why do they look so normal?' She thought
"Who are they, dad? They look so normal like they don't have wings and beauty like other gods and goddesses " ~ Shia asks in curiosity
King looks at the book again where his daughter points " They are mortals "
"Mortals? They somehow have our features isn't it dad?" ~ Shia
"Yes they are but they don't have any wings, any power to teleport, fly or read minds " Hades narrates all the qualities of mortals that they have and what they don't have.
Some of them are honest and some of them are bad and the honest ones go to Heaven and the bad ones go to HELL. They died at an early age like after 60 or 70 sometimes they even die in their 20s or 30s.
And now the new mortals are all the same kind except some they do bad things, they like to bully people, they like when someone is in pain
But on other hand, some mortals have kind hearts, they help others, and they want to spread love.
"Heart? What is this dad? " Shia tilts her head, it's her first time hearing the word 'HEART'
"HEART it's the only thing the mortals have and we don't they feel their heartbeats but we don't feel anything like that they fell in love but we immortals are forbidden to do that"
Her dad says Shia is still confused over this new term 'heart'.
'I also want to feel this heart, is it in me?' She thinks
" We will talk tomorrow, okay now sleep baby, " Her dad says, closing the book and placing it back.
"Good night my daughter," King says while closing the princess door.
