The Wedding of Eros – Epilogue (2)

A moment later, Selene changed direction while driving the moon chariot.

After a brief eclipse, the sun revealed its true form again.

“But wouldn’t that cause trouble for the goddess Selene?”

“I covered it up with a proper reward. The ornaments made by Hephaestus…”

When we talk about the ‘appropriate reward’ given to the goddesses on Olympus, we usually mean items made by Hephaestus.

If the blacksmith god puts just a little bit of effort into making it, a trinket similar to the magical weapons made by Hecate will pop out…

“Aglaia was pregnant with Hephaestus’ child.”

“I think it was a good idea to do as you said. Not only between the two of you, but also the fact that Aphrodite accepted Psyche so easily was probably because of the divorce.”

You had the same thoughts as me.

The reason why Aphrodite has become considerably more harmful than before is probably because she succeeded in getting a divorce from Hephaestus, which she had so desperately wanted.

He himself wanted to be free from Hephaestus and love freely…

I took a quick look at where Eros and Psyche, the main characters of the wedding, were.

Aphrodite was sitting with her legs crossed, making love to Psyche.

“Hey, Psyche, come here and pour me some nectar.”

“Yes, mother…”

“Mother?! I’ve never married a child who can’t even follow nectar properly to Eros.”

“No, please, Mother. I got married today…”

“joy!”

Harmful… right? Probably.

It seems like they are acknowledging it, since they are not cursing or chasing it out right now.

But at some point, Persephone disappeared from sight.

You were sticking close to me until just now, but where did you go now?

“You are so beautiful. Would you like to spend some hot time with me? Even though I look like this…”

“No! Go away!”

A muscular male god who looked to be in his twenties by mortal standards was flirting with Persephone.

Judging from the fact that it was the first time I had seen it, it seemed like it had been born not long ago.

If it were the power of Persephone, daughter of Demeter, there would be no problem,

We need to make sure that there isn’t any commotion at what should be a fun wedding…

Let’s go over there for a bit.

* * *

The god smiled faintly and tried to grab Persephone’s wrist,

Persephone dodged with a disgusted expression. I have never seen such an expression on someone’s face when looking at something so disgusting.

“No, why do you refuse? I am Priapus, the son of Dionysus…”

“Lord Hades!”

As I sneak up behind him, Persephone spots me and blushes.

If you had just told me your identity, I would have gotten away on my own, but you didn’t want to play princess who gets saved by a prince… did you?

Naturally, the son of Dionysus looked back, embarrassed by my name coming from her mouth.

Before I knew it, I was approaching him from behind and our eyes met.

“Hade… Oh my! I’m sorry! This is my first time at an Olympus event, so I don’t know the face of Persephone, the goddess of spring…”

“Be quiet. The son of Dionysus?”

“Yes, that’s right!”

I think I’ve heard the name of this god who is struggling in front of me.

Was the area under your jurisdiction fertility and reproduction?

“When you meet someone you like, do you use your status and position to woo them?”

“yes?”

“If this is the case even with a god, it should be obvious even without looking when dealing with a mortal… Listen.”

“Wh…what…are you saying?”

“If even one mortal is unjustly harmed because of you, you will pay for it in the afterlife. If you understand, then you may go now.”

As I watched the son of Dionysus hastily bowing down to me and retreating, I felt uncomfortable for some reason.

Maybe it’s because I’ve grown attached to Persephone… I feel a little worse than I thought.

“Hehehe… Hades.”

“If something like this happens again, why don’t you just say your name?”

“I didn’t think of that. Hehe.”

Strangely, the feeling of discomfort disappeared when I saw Persephone clinging to me and linking arms.

Well, it’s definitely one of the most beautiful in Olympus.

“Why are you staring so intently?”

Golden eyes and hair that resemble his father’s.

Demeter’s beautiful appearance is enough to make all male gods dazzled.

A beauty that would make young male gods, who did not know Persephone’s face, cast glances at her without any regard for her appearance.

That’s why Demeter is always worried. Oh, she just happened to find this place and is coming.

Demeter, who approached with her face crumpled, glared fiercely in the direction where Priapus was and spoke with a worried expression.

“Persephone, I tell you again and again, please stay by Hades’ side during the banquet…”

“No, Mom. Why are you being so overprotective! I’ll be 300 soon!”

“Whew… I’m worried, isn’t that right? There have been many goddesses who only showed off their own power and ended up being defeated by male gods.”

Demeter’s concerns are valid. No matter how high the status of a goddess, there have been cases where she was tricked.

As a mother worried about her daughter, since she was almost targeted by Poseidon last time…

“Hades. I told you to take good care of my daughter. But in a place like this…”

“Oh, Mom! Please stop!!!”

It’s noisy.

* * *

Persephone’s cries were short-lived, and finally the real Demeter sat down.

Persephone and I sat opposite her and drank the nectar.

Demeter, who had been sipping nectar for a moment, put down her golden goblet and looked back and forth between me and Persephone.

“It’s been quite some time since I sent my daughter to the afterlife. Isn’t it about time for her to get married?”

“Oh… Mom too…”

“Of course Persephone is the mistress of the underworld, right?”

When you were angry that I touched your daughter, now you want me to get married quickly?

Have you been feeling more anxious since the incident last time when Ares’ daughter was almost killed by Poseidon’s son?

“…I already have goddesses in mind.”

“Who cares? You’ve been with the goddess Styx since the Titanomachy. And what’s wrong with a god having multiple wives? Just look at Zeus.”

At Demeter’s words, he saw Zeus.

“Hahaha! Ganymede, come here and pour me another glass of nectar!”

“Zeus you…!”

“…You should go now.”

I turned my head again and looked at Demeter.

The sight of Zeus smiling at Ganymede, then sending him away under the icy gaze of Hera.

A small crack appeared on Demeter’s face when she saw it.

“…Anyway, when I look at it, you’re too old-fashioned. Well, that’s why I… Ahem.”

“I know exactly what you’re talking about. But I can’t tell you for sure…”

I was about to answer that it was difficult to say anything definitive about Persephone.

I was lost in a thought that I had been putting off for a while. Do I like Persephone?

It doesn’t matter to me that I am seen as the master and main character of this underworld who fell in love with the goddess.

Her beauty is so outstanding that she even takes on the role of guardian of her nephew, who is coveted by all male gods.

But… if you ask me if I really have feelings for you…

I turned my head to Persephone, who was looking at me with her hands clasped together and a slightly anxious expression.

When our eyes met, she smiled awkwardly. However, there was anxiety in her eyes.

The impulse that came to me in the moment was that I didn’t want to see it.

The anxiety that lies within the eyes.

A feeling that arose from the worry that I might not accept her.

Could it be that I feel this way because I don’t fit in with the lively goddess of spring?

“Lord Hades…”

Demeter, who seemed to be urging him to answer quickly, also remained silent.

He just quietly ate the ambrosia and waited for my answer.

When I saw Persephone, I looked back on my heart.

First of all, when I first came to the underworld… when you told me that you would continue to breathe life into the heroes’ training grounds for me…

Yes, Persephone was certainly beautiful.

The things she did were cute and I didn’t hate them that much.

then…

Swish-

I quietly reached under the table and took Persephone’s gentle hand.

It’s a little embarrassing, but I can’t pretend not to know what you’re thinking of me.

Even if it is still too early to marry a nephew, at least…

“ah…!”

“There seems to be some misunderstanding, Demeter.”

Me too. Maybe I have feelings for Persephone?

“I never once said I hated Korea.”

“…? Hades. What did you just say…”

Demeter stops eating ambrosia and stares at me blankly.

Persephone, who shyly clung to me, felt warm, and when I saw her flushed cheeks, something moved me.

“Eros’ wedding is almost over, so I’ll go back now.”

“…okay.”

* * *

The way down from Olympus and back to the underworld.

As I was driving my chariot through the strong winds, Persephone, who was riding behind me, called out to me.

“Lord Hades.”

“why?”

“Just now, for the first time… you called me Kore.”

Did I do that?

“Isn’t that your nickname? Everyone who becomes close to you calls you that.”

“…Hehe.”

Persephone, or rather Kore, who was riding in the back of the chariot, hugged my waist.

I drove the chariot quietly to the underworld, feeling the warmth of the goddess of spring.
