บท 64: Chapter 64: Hera's Offer (2)
Perseus POV
"How would you like to become my next Jason, Perseus Silver?" she asked with a serious face.
I would do the dropped jaw, wide eye and drop my breakfast cliché here, but I don't want to waste good food. But that is a shocking offer.
"I can protect you from many gods and especially my husband if you agree." she continued "He will be angry, but as long as you agree, I can guarantee not only your safety, but to those you care about as well. As long as you do things in my name."
"Hell no. Since when does Perseus Silver agree to be anyone's bitch?"
"You work for the Mirage Legion as their so called 'bitch'." she retorted
"Touché." I clicked my tongue in annoyance "But I'm still an executive, you know."
"The head of the assassin division, the division who can get the least information and not question any orders, they give assassins the least data as you don't really need to know anything apart from carrying your tasks."
The fact that she knows amaze me a bit, to think they would pay attention to the dot and know all the detail...damn, these true gods sure are more knowledgeable than the admins.
"There's a high chance that we can be a traitor as well, so give or take, it's right on their part that they hide shit from me. The previous whom I killed know even less about the organization than me despite being the head for about 6 years."
Hera just stayed quiet for a really long while before she told me what she came here to do.
"Zeus and a few other gods fear your existence greatly." she explained "The attempts would ramp up from here on out, it's obvious that your parents will not even attempt to protect you and warn you at best, but by accepting my offer..."
She trailed off and let me think.
"What do you get out of this? I don't even think you even really favored the original Jason and the only reason you probably even did was because of your hate for his like half cousin, Pelias."
"For Jason, even though I favored him quite a bit, it is mostly due to my hate for Pelias." she confirmed "But it's not that I didn't favor him at all, he was a good boy. As for the original Perseus...despite being my husband's bastard child, he was a good one, he is one of the only ones who managed to achieved a happy ending to their life, a rare feat.
"But my offer for you is different, I will treat you something that is akin to my own children." she offered "It's not a bad offer, you will receive my blessing and from the looks of it, you already sort of received something of mine, I can sense it on you though I don't know exactly what it is."
Right, I drank her breast milk, really disgusting now that I think about it in front of the person. I'm shivering just the mere thought of it, can't believe that me and my sister drank it with a straight face.
Sorry Hera, I'll tell you someday and I'll apologize tenfold.
"Yeah, seriously tempting, but no, I don't need your protection. If I need your protection just to climb the tower, I rather back out now if I really value my safety that much. Why are you offering this? What do you get out of this apart from putting your own immortality at risk?"
She just snapped her fingers and got a cookie to eat. I would offer her snacks, but I don't know about these true gods, I can never trust them completely and it's not like they'll starve.
Some might even get offended that we offered food inferior to their ambrosia or nectar, so...it's weird, isn't it? You can either offend them by giving nothing or giving them something.
'Huh, do I look like I'm hungry for your pesky snacks?'
Boom, disappear from the novel and lose eternal internet popularity.
"Well I plan on having a mortal carry my name to popularity amongst my kin, I want influence, Perseus Silver." she said "And the more I rack up, the more authority I have and when I achieve enough authority, I will divorce my husband."
"I'm sorry, you what?"
"Do you seriously think I tolerate seeing him fool around with women every single day? He is no longer a king that deserve respect, he's nothing but a perverted fool." she said with a disgusted expression "But despite being born first, I am too powerless to stop him from doing anything I dislike and can only watch from afar.
"I redirect my anger and jealousy to the innocent mortals instead. I know what I'm doing is wrong, but it's not like I'm powerful enough to take it on Zeus, you should know what happened to Apollo, he couldn't take revenge on Zeus, so he killed the elder cyclopes, and Zeus did not like that."
Seriously Hera, what do you think you're trying to do here? You're talking about your emotions as if I'm some sort of therapist. Seriously, what do you think I'm supposed to do with this buttload of these information.
I lost my hearing after the second phrase and have been keeping a blank face and just nodding out of respect, but woosh! I have no idea what you just said.
Am I supposed to comfort you or am I supposed to give you my sympathy...I'm a guy, I don't talk about my feelings, the only reason I might do is because I'm a fictional character and I'm doing it for emotional development.
I sometimes do it without even knowing like a dense harem protagonist and I'M NOT EVEN ONE! I have not heard high pitch screams or any girls fanning over for me, I'm so overpowered that girls are too scared to approach me.
Though seriously though, stop giving me that face, I have no advice to give you, I don't know what to say in this situation.
