then.
Hephaestus and Prometheus are brought back to the chamber by Hades' attendant of the dead.
The two of them traveled all the way, and it was really tiring even with there divine stamina.
Without too much conversation, freshen up and rest.
to the evening hours.
The waiter came to say hello again and invited the two to the main hall for dinner.
"Thinking about it, more than a year ago, I was running around in Lemnos with bare buttocks... Now I have become the guest of Hades. The change is really quite big. The guest of Hades, it sounds a bit weird."
Hephaestus walked on the corridor, thinking wildly to himself.
On the way, many nymphs and fairies couldn't help but look at him secretly.
At this moment Hephaestus has taken off his broad cloak.
His handsome and beautiful appearance and tall and straight figure were fully revealed, and he was wearing a shawl with blond hair, very chic and unrestrained.
The whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of holy light.
Wherever you go, you will naturally become the center of the world.
Every passing nymph finally left with blushing cheeks.
Under the leadership of the attendants, Hephaestus soon came to the cella.
The bright red flames inside dispel the gloom and terror.
A group of nymph fairies sang and danced.
The long banquet tables are covered with delicious food with strong aroma.
Hades sat in the first seat, Prometheus sat on the left, and there was an empty seat on the right.
Hephaestus knew that was his place.
"Hephaestus, I'm waiting for you, come and sit next to me."
Hades saw the blond boy and said kindly.
Hephaestus also responded with the same attitude, and at the same time noticed a young woman beside Hades.
exactly.
It is a young goddess with a charming appearance, her long hair is coiled like a noble lady, she is wearing a light green robe, her temperament is dignified and elegant, and she is sitting beside Hades without saying a word.
Hephaestus also noticed that she frowned slightly and looked unhappy.
"This is the Queen of Hades, Persephone."
After being seated, Prometheus introduced him.
Hades also said to the goddess beside him: "This is Prometheus' partner, Hephaestus, the god of fire and craftsmen, right? Hephaestus."
Hephaestus smiled irrefutably, and then gave Persephone a polite compliment:
"I have seen the queen of the underworld, you are very beautiful."
"Thank you, Hephaestus, and thank you for escorting Prometheus. Please enjoy the wine and food to your heart's content."
Although the queen of the underworld was also amazed by the beauty of the blond boy, she didn't seem to want to talk too much.
After saying this sentence, I don't say any more, and I don't eat the food on the banquet table.
"Persephone, the Seed Goddess, is technically one of my brothers and sisters."
During the meal, Hephaestus thought.
As far as he knew, Persephone was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, the goddess of agriculture.
She is also a woman of Hades, a queen of the underworld with a high status in the underworld.
"Madam, use this mellow and sweet wine to toast the two guests."
Hades suddenly poured a glass of wine and placed it in front of his queen.
Persephone froze, looked at Hades, and smiled apologetically at Prometheus and Hephaestus:
"Dear guests, please forgive me for being rude, my appetite is not very good, I cannot drink..."
"Please do as you please."
The two Prometheus &Hephaestus said in unison.
Persephone's face softened, she smiled and nodded her thanks.
When Hades saw this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to the two: "Then we have to enjoy this fine wine."
The dinner party didn't last long.
Hades is in the underworld, and he also has a lot of affairs to deal with, so he is quite busy.
So after drinking for three rounds, the banquet is over.
Prometheus and Hephaestus bid farewell.
Before leaving, Queen Persephone offered a toast to the two of them, but it was all symbolic, and her lips didn't even touch the wine glasses.
"Hephaestus, come to my room later, I want to talk to you."
Just walked out of the inner hall.
Prometheus whispered like this.
- what? How sneaky...?
Hephaestus was curious, but he didn't ask any further questions. He nodded in agreement, and the two separated and went back to their rooms.
"Could it be, for the Queen?"
"Before leaving, when the queen of the underworld toasted Prometheus, her eyes were not quite right."
Waited for about half a quarter.
Hephaestus guessed wildly, quietly left the room, and came to the Prometheus room not far away.
....
"Squeak ~"
After closing the door.
Hephaestus turned around and asked, "Prometheus, what do you want from me?"
Prometheus was sitting at the table, frowning, as if he was worried, then he raised his head and said, "Hephaestus, you are here. Sit down first, let's talk."
"...." Hephaestus sat down.
Prometheus said again: "Just now, the queen of the underworld quietly sent me a signal, saying that she is coming to see me."
"Quietly? See you?"
"You are...?"
Hephaestus had a weird face.
What's up with this back garden rigamarole feeling?
Did Prometheus want too cuck hades?
But if so, what's the point of pulling him in? he got no problem clapping cheeks but he dont want another dude with him he would not follow that greek way of doing things.
"Don't get me wrong."
Prometheus saw the boy's expression changed, and said, "Persephone must have something important to discuss with me."
Persephone lived on Mount Olympus before marrying into the underworld, and Prometheus was naturally familiar with her.
When Hephaestus was about to ask.
"Squeak ~"
The two doors were pushed open again.
Dressed in a light green robe, the graceful Empress walked in, and quickly closed the door.
There seemed to be wet tears on her fair face, and her expression was agitated, completely different from the indifference just now.
"Prometheus!"
Persephone called tremblingly.
Prometheus stood up and asked, "Persephone, why did you come to see us secretly? It's too risky."
"No, as long as i can escape, it's worth it!"
The dignified goddess wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, sobbed and said:
"Prometheus, Hephaestus! I know this is embarrassing for you, but, please, get me out! I don't want to stay in this dark underworld anymore! I don't want to see Hades's hideous face again.
