The God of the West Wind silently reflected, and before him, faced with Zephyrus's suggestion, Hera resolutely refused.
In some respects, the Heavenly Empress and Zeus truly shared similarities; neither could be regarded as a standard definition of a good person, yet neither lacked the courage to confront danger.
Before the Divine King revealed his strength, she had dared to stand here, and now that Zeus clearly had the upper hand, she had no thoughts of retreat. However, looking at the God of the West Wind beside her, Hera's gaze softened.
"The Divine King will remember your loyalty, Zephyrus, and compared to the other deities, you have proven yourself with your actions," she said.
"Perhaps you are not as naturally powerful as some deities, but in the era of faith, that is not an issue. The Divine King once told me that the status of the gods should rise and fall by his command, not by natural strength or weakness... Perhaps you are worthy of a higher position."
