Beside Hades, Persephone walked slowly out of the spacious archives with him.
The two paused for a moment in front of the archives, then slowly turned around.
Facing the archives, Hades slowly stretched out his arm and snapped his fingers lightly.
In that instant, the entire archives seemed to receive some kind of mysterious instruction.
A thin mist slowly descended from the entrance, obscuring everything inside the archives.
Immediately afterwards, a muffled roar erupted from inside the building.
A solemn and majestic gate slowly descended from the sky, pressing heavily on the boundary between the Underworld Palace and the Archives.
Bang!
The heavy roar gradually subsided.
Thick dust swirled up from all sides, covering Hades' thick black beard and forming a thin layer of gray.
This enormous archive before us is a forbidden area of the underworld, and only Hades and his wife Persephone are permitted to enter.
However, at this moment, Hades stood in front of the archives, frowning in deep thought, not even bothering to brush the dust off his beard.
Now, there is something that is troubling him and he cannot understand it.
Victor, who has never set foot in the underworld, is not even qualified to enter the archives.
But how exactly did this despicable human find the entrance to the trial that he had hidden?
Although Persephone said it was the entrance to the passage that Victor discovered.
But now, it's unclear whether Hades has some strange ideas popping into his head.
He would always find himself unable to resist placing his suspicions on Persephone.
Seeing that the gate was completely closed, Persephone prepared to turn and leave.
But when he turned around, he saw Hades still standing there, refusing to move an inch.
She couldn't help but ask in confusion:
What are you standing there for?
Hearing his wife's voice, Hades slowly came to his senses. Not wanting Persephone to notice his inner turmoil, he quickly replied:
"Ah...it's nothing."
"I was just thinking, madam, it's been so long since we sat down together to read like we did just now."
Persephone rolled her eyes at him, saying with some disdain:
"How long do you think we've been married? Do you expect me to spend every single day reading with you?"
“Uh… Madam is right.”
Hades smiled awkwardly, his gaze softening as he looked at Persephone.
Persephone was the only one Hades didn't get angry even when scolded.
It wasn't that he didn't dare, but that he was unwilling.
Because Hades always felt guilty towards Persephone.
Hades was once full of vigor and extremely arrogant.
He took Persephone from the gods on a whim.
Although it took a long time for him to explain before Persephone understood his true feelings.
As a result, a sincere love blossomed between them.
But this act of plunder aroused great anger among the gods.
In retaliation against Hades, the gods cast a cruel curse upon Persephone.
Every time winter arrives, during the four coldest months...
The evergreen goddess Persephone had to transform herself into a garden, placing herself in the place closest to humankind.
Hades, as the ruler of the underworld, could only remain in the deepest part of the underworld.
This also means that he will be separated from Persephone for four months every year and will not be able to see him.
To break the curse, Hades must get Persephone out of the underworld.
Hades loved Persephone deeply and could not bear to see her suffer.
Therefore, he allowed Persephone to leave.
That was before they were married and had consummated their marriage.
But Persephone only said one sentence to him.
She despised the hypocrisy and filth of the gods, preferring the freedom of the underworld.
Even though one has to endure four months of hardship each year in the underworld, it is still more carefree than in the heavenly realm.
So even if Hades was willing to let her leave, Persephone was unwilling to leave on her own.
Thus, the King of the Underworld, who was in the underworld, married the goddess of eternal life in the heavens.
Roughly calculated, they have spent a thousand years together.
Of course, because of the filthy curse cast by the gods, Hades broke with them from then on.
This became a deep and lasting pain in his heart.
He knew that if it weren't for his impulsive actions back then, Persephone wouldn't have to endure this painful torment every year.
But Persephone was still willing to be with him in the underworld.
According to her.
If Hades hadn't abducted her, how could the two of them have lived together for so long?
This decision made Hades love Persephone even more, and he almost completely obeyed her every whim.
He never wanted to see Persephone suffer even the slightest injustice.
This is not only because of love, but also an irreparable compensation.
Hades thus became more gentle and cautious, quietly fulfilling his duties only in the underworld.
Because he knew that the gods could not do anything to him.
Yet they could hurt those around him just as they had done to Persephone.
Hades chose to compromise.
At this moment, perhaps noticing Hades' slightly annoyed gaze, Persephone glared at him impatiently.
She understood that Hades felt guilty again.
"Alright, stop looking at me like that. I told you long ago that you don't need to feel guilty at all."
"That's what those gods did, what does it have to do with you?"
