Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 188: The Gift of Destiny is Never Free

For an old father, nothing is more important than his daughter.

At an old age, he lost his most beloved daughter.

This kind of experience is definitely heavy and painful for a father.

"Dear God, if you are here to punish me, I am willing to accept any punishment."

"But please give me back my daughter. She is my only treasure and has nothing to do with all this."

The old man crawled on the ground, put his face on the soft carpet, and humbly asked Eros.

He had no desires in the first place, and spent the long half of his life in Esseniro in constant fear.

Inachus was already satisfied that he could live such a peaceful and comfortable life in his final years.

Even eternal life cannot compare to a dozen years of stability and happiness.

But why should his beloved daughter be snatched away from him when his life was about to come to a peaceful end?

Inachus prostrated himself before Eros and tried to kiss his feet.

In this humble gesture, he wanted to pray to the gods for mercy and return his daughter to him.

Even though he once possessed immortal divinity, he is now just an old man who has lost his daughter.

Eros was slightly moved and his expression became much more serious.

He stopped Inachus's humble actions and helped him up.

"Don't do this, old man. I came here for this very reason."

What Eros likes to see most is the story of the interweaving of emotions and desires between people.

And Inakos's sincere fatherly love and family affection naturally include them.

Respond to good people with good, and respond to evil people with evil.

Treat it with sincerity, and you will naturally give it back with sincerity; seek it with greed, and you will give it back with lust.

Eros is not a good guy, but that doesn't mean he is a bad guy.

The main thing is that Inachus looks like this, which makes him look very bad.

Inachus, who was helped up, looked at Eros with some confusion, as if he didn't quite understand what he meant.

"I came here for Io's matter, not for you."

Let Inakos rest assured that there is no immigration bureau in Greece, and Eros is not here to investigate his illegal immigration.

This time, he came to rescue Io, the daughter of Inachus.

"Io? Io, is she still alive!?"

A glimmer of hope flashed in Inakos' cloudy eyes.

To be honest, even he had gradually given up hope after waiting for nearly half a year.

A weak woman disappeared for nearly half a year.

With the wild beasts roaming the land, Io had absolutely no ability to protect herself.

But even though Inachus mobilized manpower and searched all the places near the city of Argos where there were traces of humans, there was no trace of Io.

Perhaps this matter was just a thought and concern in his mind.

So when Inachus heard from Eros that Io was still alive, he was overjoyed.

"Of course, Io is not dead."

A smile appeared on Eros' face under the mask.

"Not only will she not die, her future achievements will far exceed yours."

"She will return to her hometown and bring about earth-shaking changes there."

Io, also known as Isis, will give birth to Horus, the future lord of the Esseneiros and the patron saint of the pharaoh.

But the biological father of Horus is Osiris of the Aesirene, Zeus, or Eros...

That's hard to say.

Listening to Eros's prophecy, Inachus's old face showed a complicated expression. He knew that the greater the future, the more he would have to experience now.

The gifts of fate are never free.

He had mixed feelings, feeling happy that his daughter would have a bright future.

And she was worried and afraid about her upcoming unknown fate.

This was a complex emotion, which Eros could understand, and he was happy to see it.

Soon, Inachus adjusted his mood and accepted Eros's prophecy.

At least, my daughter is still alive.

"So where is my daughter now? How is she doing?"

"she……"

Eros was a little embarrassed.

You can't say that Io is eating grass now, which is especially green and healthy, right?
"What can I do to help my daughter?"

Sensing Eros' embarrassment, Inachus cleverly avoided mentioning the matter.

"To find your daughter, you only need to find the giant Argos and then be at his feet."

"There is a fertile pasture there, and beside the stream in the pasture you will see your daughter."

Although he didn't say it directly, Eros had already told him where Io was.

Eros could not find Io, but he could find Argos through Inachus.

I believe Inachus should know where Argos is.

As Eros expected, Inachus's face showed a thoughtful expression.

Of course he knew where Argos was, but he was thinking about other things.

The all-seeing giant Argos symbolizes Hera's will and why her daughter is with him.

What does this mean? Which side does the masked man in front of him represent?
Have I been caught up in some invisible struggle among the gods?

Eros watched him thinking, not anxiously.

In any case, he had anticipated the choice Inakos would make.

"Well... I'm going to go look for my daughter. Please wait for a moment."

"Once I find my daughter, I will give her everything I have!"

Inachus did not mention taking Eros and the others to find Io.

Because he was worried that he would stand on the wrong side in his haste.

He must first go and confirm Io's situation in person and understand the whole story before making a decision.

Eros was not surprised by his caution.

If most of the Greek gods had been sane, there wouldn't have been so much drama.

When he saw Io turned into a heifer, Argus took his daughter from him.

Inachus would naturally turn to himself for help.

Seeing that Eros didn't seem to mean to say anything, Inachus breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately called over the beautiful maids and asked them to bring the brazier and barbecue, as well as fruits and mead.

He ordered the maids to take good care of his distinguished guests and apologized for his crimes.

Inachus immediately left his palace, drove his own chariot, and drove away from the city of Argos.

His aged body still bears traces of his former godhood.

Eros stood on a high place, watching Inachus' back as he ran away.

Father...it's really complicated.
