Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 282 The God of Justice is also partial
Hera was left speechless by Themis' words.

It was impossible for her to tell the truth.

Whether out of her self-esteem or other considerations, she couldn't say it.

As the queen of heaven, everything about her, from body to mind, is bound to Zeus. She absolutely cannot and will not betray Zeus.

The meaning of her existence is for Zeus, so she cannot accept any other situation.

Being able to suppress this matter, only two people knew that Hera's bottom line was already as low as it could go.

If word got out about what happened between the two of them in Tartarus, Hera would lose everything.

Everything she needed in this world, including a meaning to life.

Hera couldn't even imagine how she would deal with the situation if this matter were known by other people.

So when faced with Themis' questioning, Hera fell silent and calmed down a little from her anger.

"Themis, according to the laws you created, the iron rules of marriage, I have the right to protect my own marriage."

"I don't need to give you a specific explanation, or his relationship with Zeus, that's the best explanation I can give."

In Hera's hand, the lightning gradually gathered and stabilized into a long sword, pointing directly at Eros.

There was still resentment hidden in her eyes, her pretty face beneath the veil was a little distorted, and she gritted her teeth unwillingly.

Eros was right in front of him at this moment. He had let him go when he left Tartarus because of his momentary weakness.

But Eros did not heed his warning, and still left the underworld and continued to appear before him.

No matter what, Hera couldn't think of any reason to miss this opportunity.

Even if Themis stood in her way, she would still throw Eros into the abyss completely and never give him any chance to turn things around.

However, her reasons were still refuted by Themis.

"Whether your marriage is threatened or not is not something you can judge on your own."

"Eros and Zeus have no physical relationship and no children. At most, they can be regarded as pure spiritual partners. How can they be a threat to you?"

Even Eros was stunned by this rebuttal.

Isn't the partisanship in these words a little too obvious? Where is the goddess of justice and fairness?
Eros probably understood something, even though Themis was nominally fair, just and open.

But in fact, as an aunt and ex-wife, Thetis's stance is very obvious.

Hera was also a little angry about Themis' words and was trembling all over.

What does it mean that a soul mate is not a threat? Does it have to happen before it is considered a threat?

Once the truth is revealed and she has been accused of something, what's the point of making amends?

"Themis! Stop trying to protect him! I don't care who asked you to do this, just get out of my way now!"

Eros! I swear to kill you!
These words were clearly written in Hera's eyes, but Themis still stood in front of Eros, refusing to give in.

This tense scene made Eros feel very difficult.

It is already like this now, and I can imagine what kind of twists and turns will happen when I officially climb Mount Olympus in a few days.

Perhaps we should learn from Hephaestus and force Hera to make concessions.

But Hephaestus was, after all, Hera's child, and there was no deep hatred between them, unlike Eros.

If I want Hera to give in and accept me, do I really have to use that trick of "You don't want other people to know, do you?"
With this move, there is a 30% chance that Hera will give in, but there is a 60% chance that Hera will fight to the death with Eros.

After all, Eros had promised her that he would never tell anyone else about this under any circumstances.

Even if it was used to threaten her, it would shake this promise and make Hera distrust Eros even more. Hera was not the kind of person who could be bullied. Facing threats, she was more likely to self-destruct rather than compromise.

It’s hard to do.
Eros sighed and suddenly said.

"Goddess Themis, you don't have to protect me like this. Let me talk to her in person."

He took the initiative to step forward, walked out from behind Themis, stood directly in front of Hera, and spoke.

"This isn't a suitable place for the two of us to talk, right? Why don't we talk somewhere else?"

"I have nothing to say to you!"

Hera refused outright and was about to swing the thunderbolt in her hand, but Themis took another step forward to stop her.

"Look, there's no good outcome from this stalemate. Why don't we give each other a chance to talk first?"

Eros spread his hands helplessly.

"After we finish talking, you'll have a better chance of attacking me, right?"

"Or are you unwilling to even talk to me and give me a chance to clarify?"

Hera looked at Themis, thought for a moment, then lowered her hand slightly to indicate that she accepted the condition.

With Themis here, it is indeed difficult for her to do anything to Eros.

And if Eros wanted to say something in private, Themis would naturally avoid him, and it would be very easy to kill him then.

"In that case, let's talk somewhere else?"

There was no sign of worry on Eros' face as he turned to speak to Themis.

"Goddess Themis, thank you very much for your help, but this matter is ultimately my own business, so let me handle it myself."

Since Eros said so, Themis would not stop him any further.

Eros followed Hera to the empty temple next door.

The door was tightly closed. To be on the safe side, Hera even set up a soundproof barrier herself to prevent their conversation from being heard.

"What else do you have to say? You might as well die quickly to avoid further arguments."

After completing the safeguards, Hera revealed a cold smile.

In her eyes, Eros had voluntarily stepped into a situation where there was no chance of survival. She really had no idea what he was thinking.

Did he think that his sweet words could give him another chance of survival?

Won't! Absolutely not!
Hera had made up her mind that no matter what Eros said later, after he finished speaking, she would take Eros' life without mercy.

Then he imprisoned his soul in his palm, not giving him any chance to escape.

As for destroying Eros' soul, Hera had not thought about it yet. After all, even the abyss of Tartarus could not erase it.

She wasn't sure if it would work, so she detained him for the time being.

And now, she didn't mind listening to what Eros wanted to say to save his life.

"Why would it be a waste of words? I just want to chat with you. After all, we haven't seen each other for a long time, right?"

Eros smiled, showing no sign of worry.

"After all, no matter what, we went through hardships together, didn't we?"

　We have to solve Hera's problem first.
