King of Underworld - Chapter 160

The Wedding of Hades – (2)

“This isn’t something we should talk about at a wedding, but… I’m thinking of discussing reducing the number of heroes. If I send a messenger to the underworld later, would you be able to visit Olympus?”

It’s not like any other time, but it’s a wedding day, and you’re saying things like that.

I wish I could tell you such an important story later, but if I think about it the other way around, it means that Zeus thinks this matter is very important.

“I think it’ll be okay for the time being. There are many people who have come directly to the afterlife, so they won’t do anything foolish out of fear.”

“hmm…”

“Even if there are many who are on par with gods, they are still mortals. I don’t think there is anything for us to worry about yet.”

Zeus nods slowly, stroking his beard.

“Ah. I’m not going to destroy humans right away or strike them with lightning. I just think that heroes will cause trouble someday.”

“I understand your position as the leader of Olympus, but it is still too early. If you are worried, there is a way to inform you of some of the judgment you will receive in the afterlife.”

Even though I was human in my previous life, and was called a god of mercy and justice, and was friendly to mortals.

In fact, it’s not that Zeus’s worries are completely incomprehensible.

Gigantes, or Gigas, were monster weapons created directly by the Protogenoi… to destroy the gods.

However, no matter how many thugs they are, the fact that mere humans can catch them means that they can be compared to gods.

A person in power who is not suspicious and does not prepare for the future cannot maintain that power.

Zeus’s suspicions are somewhat valid. However, in my opinion, the heroes of this generation do not have to worry too much…

“Well, I’m sorry to bring up this topic during a wedding. Then, if any problems arise next time, I’ll send a messenger again.”

“Okay. I’ll tell you more later.”

“Here is what I brought you as a wedding present. It is a fan made of eagle feathers, and it stops the rain…”

After talking to Zeus, who was smiling, I returned to my wives.

Well. Mente went to the nymphs… why can’t we see the goddess Lethe? Persephone is talking with her mother Demeter, and Styx is surrounded by a group of goddesses.

“Wow… Really? Lord Styx? Riding Pegasus and wearing your clothes in the sky…”

“Whoa! Oh my god!”

“It wasn’t really like I was hit by a golden arrow shot by Eros…”

“How on earth did I end up marrying Hades, who was known as the greatest iron wall in the divine realm…”

I barged into the scene where they were having a secret conversation, blushing and mumbling.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

“Huh…!”

“Lord Hades! Is it true that you saved Persephone from Gigas?”

“Ahh… Wait a minute! Just talk a little more…”

I was very embarrassed because all kinds of questions were pouring in, but I was able to safely remove the sticks.

I think something similar happened at the wedding of Hercules and Hebe last time… After all, in the leisurely palace of Olympus, there’s not much to enjoy other than consuming gossip.

A beautiful black-haired wife approaches him with a life-like expression.

Now, our skinship has become very natural. I followed suit and tucked my hair behind her ear.

“Whew… Who wouldn’t want to be the goddess Musai? Erato is asking a lot of questions to get the inspiration she needs for love…”

“Because we are the main characters of today.”

The goddess leans her head against my words, smiling faintly. Somehow, it reminds me of the past… back in the days of Phaethon.

A slight weight on the chest and a nice scent.

Now that a gentle breeze is blowing, I like this tingly atmosphere.

No. Aren’t you officially married now?

“…Yes. Today is a really good day.”

The Goddess Styx also seemed to want to continue this atmosphere.

When our eyes met, we knew what each other was thinking.

He whispered his love to the goddess of oath, who had quietly closed her eyes…

* * *

After wandering around the wedding hall for a while to take care of the other goddesses, I headed to the goddess Lethe.

Because I didn’t want to interrupt Demeter, who was holding Persephone’s hand and having a serious conversation, and Mente, who was proudly saying something in front of the other goddesses.

“Hey. So you weren’t the first? Just slap this!”

“No, Mother… I’m really okay…”

She, who seemed to have disappeared somewhere, seemed to have found her mother and was talking to her.

The mother-in-law, who seemed to know very well that she was not welcome, was looking inside from the outskirts where the gods rarely went.

“It’s good that you found a good son-in-law who invited me to the wedding, but how could you be pushed aside by Styx? What are you lacking in in terms of looks, connections, and anything else! It won’t work. I’ll throw my golden apple and make a mess of things…”

But the conversation with Lete… somehow sounds a little dangerous?

I felt like I would regret it greatly in the future if I just watched, so I made a sound and quickly intervened.

“Huh…? Hades…!”

“Ah. Ahem! Lady Iris! Thank you so much for coming!”

“Huh? You came at a good time, I had something to tell you. I heard that you proposed to Lete for the second time…”

Despite the goddess Lethe’s dissuasion, I tried to take something out of my bosom… The goddess of discord looked at me and lowered her hand.

Please, mother-in-law. That’s not it. Please calm down for a moment.

“Ah. Hahaha!”

I laughed at first.

“I heard what you were saying earlier. I think there was a slight misunderstanding.”

“misunderstanding?”

“I did not propose to you a second time because I loved you more than I loved Lethe. Nor did I intend to make you my wife in the underworld.”

Goddess Iris, who had been making a puzzled expression for a moment, glanced at me.

“Hmm. Isn’t this a lie to avoid this situation?”

“Absolutely not. Even though Styx was the ‘first one’ I met on my way to propose to the goddesses… I did not intentionally adjust the order of the proposals. As it is related to my divinity as the god of fairness, I will not discriminate between the goddesses I love!”

“That. That’s right…?”

I don’t know why I have to speak so passionately.

I moved my mouth diligently with divine intuition. May the goddess of persuasion protect me.

“Well, come to think of it, other male gods might be okay, but you wouldn’t do that. Still, you have to take good care of Lethe, right?”

“Of course.”

“Ah. Hades…”

He quickly pulled the goddess Lethe into his arms.

The mother-in-law, the goddess of discord, looked at the harmonious appearance of us newlyweds for a moment and then burst into laughter.

Now that you seem to be feeling better, it’s time. I searched through my pockets and pulled out a trinket I could find, handing it to her.

Okay. I didn’t have time to choose carefully, so I just grabbed something random. Is Dike helping me?

“Oh! And I wanted to show my sincerity, even if it was just a little, by coming to Lete and I’s wedding.”

“Oh… this is?”

“This is an ornament crafted by Hephaestus himself, using gems that only come from deep underground. I think it would suit the goddess well…”

“You too. You almost caused a ruckus without even knowing that you would give me something like this! Hohohoho!”

This is crazy. This was almost a disaster.

* * *

“Then take a look, Goddess Eris.”

“Yeah. Yeah. Next time, I hope you can hold my grandchild too. Haha!”

“Ahahaha…”

I waved my hand and saw off the goddess of discord.

My mother-in-law walked away with a happy expression on her face, probably because she liked the ornaments I gave her.

“Whew…”

What use is the lord of the underworld?

My mother-in-law, who I have to make sure looks good, still lingers in my mind.

“Hades… is that true…?”

“You mean you love everyone equally, you and Styx?”

“…”

“Of course. I hope there is no discrimination in this area.”

Let’s comfort our cute lady by stroking her soft silver hair.

She pulled my ear down. Was she trying to say something?

Let’s bend our waists, following the hand that gently pulls us… The goddess Lethe, who has turned red like an apple that has received much of Demeter’s blessing, whispers.

A single stammer, unable to even look me in the eye and blocking out any sound with her divine power.

“Well. Then… prove it right now.”

What? Did I hear that wrong?

Lethe shyly turns her head as she looks at him, unable to hide her trembling eyes.

“I proposed to Styx first, so you can do it with me first, right?”

A thin chiton worn for a wedding. Adorned with elaborate jewelry.

Lastly… her beauty, which at this very moment seems more beautiful than anyone else’s.

Anyone who touches a person of the opposite sex will be severely punished in the afterlife.

When the free-spirited and capricious Olympian gods abducted mortals they liked, Dike was sent to stop them.

That is why the title given to me is the God of Mercy and Justice.

But… aren’t you married to the goddess Lethe now?

Although other goddesses… doing it at a wedding hall is a bit… no.

My beloved wife is asking me this.

It’s impolite to bluntly refuse.

He immediately summoned his divine power and moved to his seat.

Shadows cover us, leading us far away from the wedding venue.

I am the lord of the underworld.

Even Zeus has a hard time finding me here.

“…You were the one who seduced me first, Lethe.”

I just couldn’t stand it.
