Greece: Zeus made me the queen of heaven?

Chapter 400 The Birth of Perseus
For the next period of time, Eros stayed with Danaë wholeheartedly.

After all, there was no one around her who could take good care of her, unlike Europa who had two goddesses taking care of her.

Eros had to take on this responsibility himself and come to comfort Danae's soul every night.

As for what he does during the day, don't ask too much, as it will hurt feelings.

All in all, Eros had a very leisurely time during this period and did not get into any new troubles or issues.

He was waiting calmly for the birth of his next child, and at the same time was thinking about what kind of gift to prepare for the new child.

Such leisurely days did not last long. Soon, on a night similar to the day of conception, the light rain arrived as expected.

Raindrops emitting faint light fell from the sky, quietly and somewhat suddenly, arriving in the gaps that many people did not notice.

By the time Acrisius received the news, the child had already been born.

The people from the oracle arrived earlier than him. The priests wrapped the newly born baby tightly in cloth embroidered with gold thread and held him up carefully.

Danae lay lazily on her side on the bed, without showing much pain or fatigue on her face, as if the child was not hers at all.

If Danae had not been surrounded by many of Acrisius's spies, he might have thought that this was just a trick of switching things up.

But the content reported by those spies was mostly the same. When it rained at night, rain of light floated into the tower.

Danaë radiated a golden light all over her body, and in this light, a child named Perseus was born.

Acrisius glanced out the window. The shining raindrops were silent and beautiful.

When the child was conceived, golden showers heralded his arrival, but when he was born, it was a gentler rain of light.

All these miracles showed how much the child was loved, which made Acrisius feel a little jealous.

His birth is already superior to the vast majority of humans on earth, but there are always the favorites of the gods, who make him resentful and envious.

"Let me take a look at the child."

Acrisius held out his hand, but the priest holding the child did not give him the child.

She seemed to be hesitant, fearing that Acrisius might suddenly change his mind and throw the baby to death.

This somewhat stalemate situation was finally resolved by Danae.

She fanned herself leisurely and spoke.

"My father wants to see his grandson. What's wrong with that? Just give it to him."

After hearing this, the priest hesitated for a moment and handed Perseus to Acrisius.

Acrisius held the delicate baby in his arms, his face full of the king's majesty, without any expression of joy or anger.

He just looked down at the child carefully, sizing up the child who, according to the prophecy, would shake his throne.

"A boy?"

"Well, maybe a girl would be better."

Indeed, this time, the newborn child of Eros was a boy, which was a bit of a surprise to Eros.

But I wasn't particularly surprised. After all, this kind of thing is quite normal. It would have been strange if all of them were girls.

It makes Eros seem like some evil and cruel father who deliberately changed the world line to make all his children daughters.

He is not like Ze Yuezhi.

But these words had a different meaning when they reached the ears of Acrisius.

If it was a girl, perhaps his vigilance would be reduced a little, but unfortunately it was a boy.

"What is his name?" Acrisius asked again, holding the child in his arms.

Several priests answered his question very piously.

"Perseus, King. His name is Perseus, which means star in the sky."

As if in response to the name they called out, the stars in the night sky, which were gently raining light, twinkled a few times.

Among the stars, there are a few stars that are particularly shining and shining continuously, and their light is getting closer and closer.

By the time Acrisius discovered this, the starlight had already fallen from the sky and landed accurately in the tower.

The bright starlight sank into the room, and its shape gradually emerged in the dazzling light.

The armor, shining like silver and with a strange shape, fell in front of everyone, exuding a sacred aura.

This was the gift Eros gave to his child, and it matched Perseus's Perseus Cloth very well.

Since the golden armor has its own ideas, this silver armor is the most appropriate choice.

Moreover, every holy garment has the potential to become gold as long as the user is strong enough.

This sacred garment is most suitable for Perseus because his name is the name of Perseus.

Alexios looked at the silver-white holy cloth falling from the sky in front of him with a look of surprise.

Of course he knew this thing. Across the strait, in the city-state called Athens, the Saints of the Sanctuary would wear this kind of battle suit.

These Saints are very rare, and most of them wear bronze armor, with only a few wearing silver armor.

The son of the King of Gods, he is protected by the priests of Queen Hera, and now he has an olive branch from the goddess of wisdom Athena.

He couldn't help but feel a little jealous of the child in his arms. If only he could have so much blessing and attention from the gods.
The slight jealousy in his heart quickly dissipated, and Acrisius returned the child to the priests.

"I will be the one to teach this child. I will find the best instructor for him and send him to the Holy Land to study."

In this case, Acrisius decided to make Perseus in his arms into an obedient and moral person.

In this way, he would not have been able to rebel against his grandfather and seize his throne.

Good people, especially those who are so kind that they are foolishly kind, are the most reassuring.

After making sure that everything was still under his control, Acrisius hurried away.

The priest held the child in her arms and bowed her head respectfully, while Eros, who had been standing by, took the child from Perseus, who was offering it to her with both hands.

He teased the baby in the cradle. This was his first time experiencing this and Eros found it somewhat amusing.

After teasing for a while, Eros returned to Danae with the child in his arms.

"Your challenge has just begun. Being a mother is not just about giving birth, but also about raising the child."

"And you, as a father, will just sit back and do nothing?"

Danae asked back.

"Nonsense."

Eros said seriously.

"Although I don't have time to stay with my children for a long time, as a father, I will do what I have to do."

　I think it's better to have a boy. After all, we already have the Minos set, and it would be boring to have two sets with the same attributes.

　　Anyway, I am much more interested in the Gorgon sisters than Perseus.
