Chapter 291 The more you resist, the more excited I am (4.6k)
Under the table, golden and blue eyes met each other, and the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.
Athena withdrew her right hand from what was held in front of her, wiped her mouth as if nothing had happened, and a calm smile appeared on her face.
"What a coincidence, you're here too?"
“…”
Sensing that familiar divinity, the silent Artemis' face turned from pale to blue, then from blue to black, and finally from black to red. She gritted her teeth and rushed forward, stretching out her hand to pinch the fake best friend who dared to cheat on her in front of her.
"I'll fight you!"
The tabletop, unable to bear the weight, shook violently.
Damn it...
With no tears left, Loen quickly held the corner of the table tightly, forced a twisted smile on his face, and greeted Hera who had already stepped into the temple.
"My Lord Queen, why are you here?"
"You and Thetis are going to get married, and as her adoptive mother, I naturally have to come and see."
Hera answered as a matter of course, and then waved forcefully to the light bulb beside her.
"Please step back first. He and I have something private to discuss."
After hearing this impeccable reason, the simple Medusa nodded and left. Before leaving, she did not forget to close the door, leaving enough privacy for the conversation between the two parties.
Seeing Hera walking towards the desk impatiently after Medusa left, Loen's heart skipped a beat and he quickly asked her to stop.
"Lord Queen of Heaven!"
"Everyone's gone, what did you call me?"
The white-armed goddess glanced at her lover behind the desk and snorted in displeasure.
Under the scrutiny of the diva, Lorne had no choice but to bite the bullet and change his words in a pinched voice.
"H-Hera..."
"That's more like it."
Hera nodded with satisfaction, a bright smile blooming on her dignified face, and reached out to untie the belt around her waist.
No way? Here? In the temple of Athena? Again?
Luo En looked at this familiar scene, feeling like crying but without tears, and quickly reminded.
"Didn't you say you wanted to talk to me about Theti's marriage?"
"There are still two days left, no rush."
Hera responded casually by pulling off the straps. The white gauze skirt, which had lost its fasteners, gradually slid down from her ivory-white shoulders, revealing the alluring view inch by inch.
Loen quickly put his hand on Hera's shoulder to stop her skirt from falling, and forced a smile on his face as he tried to persuade her.
"Isn't this a bad idea in Athena's temple?"
"So what?"
Hera glanced at the statue of Athena facing the desk and sneered softly, not taking it seriously.
"Don't even mention the Temple of Athena. Even if she is here and her mother is here, I can do whatever I want!"
When Luo En heard this, sweat broke out on his forehead.
It is said that Hera's position as the Queen of Heaven seemed to have been inherited from Athena's mother, Metis, the original goddess of wisdom.
This so-called patron saint of marriage is actually a mistress. No wonder marriage relationships in Greece are such a mess.
At this moment, hearing the arrogant declaration of the queen, Athena, who had become the victim under the table, suddenly turned pale. She stopped arguing with her plastic bestie in front of her, and gritted her teeth and tried to rush out to fight Hera.
Seeing this, Artemis, who was fighting a life-and-death battle with her best friend just now, suddenly broke out in a sweat. She pulled Athena back from the edge of the tablecloth and tried to comfort her.
"Calm down! It's really not that serious!"
"Bang!"
At the same time, Loen, who had just secretly pulled up his pants and wanted to get up and slip out of the temple, was pushed down by the powerful Hera and pressed in front of the desk.
A table is divided into two worlds, inside and outside, with different battlefields inside and outside.
Hera was very displeased to see her lover's timid reaction.
"I'm not afraid, why are you running?"
"Madam, please don't do this. It will have a bad influence..."
Loen, who was pressed on the table, felt the increasingly intense vibrations in the barrier under the table, and was even more desperate to cry.
However, Hera, who was always strong, turned a deaf ear to it. Instead, she raised her eyebrows and showed a playful smile on her face.
"So, are you trying to play a game of compulsion with me?"
"I'm not! I didn't!" Luo En denied it immediately and advised earnestly, "The wedding date is approaching, and there is really a lot of work to be done. How about we do it another day?"
"Um."
Hera nodded, seeming quite reasonable.
When Luo En saw this, he was immediately filled with hope.
"You agree?"
Hera, sitting at the desk, raised the corners of her lips and revealed a meaningful smile.
"Remember the rules of the forced game?"
Seeing Hera's subtle expression, Loen suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Force the rules of the game?
"Everything should be done in the opposite sense, not equal to yes, opposition means consent."
Queen Hera reiterated the rules and looked at the prey under her claws playfully, her eyes flickering faintly, with a hint of sadistic pleasure in her eyes.
"And the more you resist, the more excited I get!"
“…”
Athena and Artemis, who were sitting under the desk, made the same comment after a moment of silence.
“Beast!”
However, as the sound was blocked by a small barrier, Queen Hera, who had no idea that she was live streaming this ultimate humiliation, became more and more into the show and began to tear off her lover's clothes.
Lorne didn't know whether it was because he was getting into the role or because Athena and Artemis were watching him under the table, so he could only resist and persuade him dejectedly.
“This is the office…”
"What does it have to do with me?"
"There are so many people around, if we are discovered..."
"Wouldn't that be better?"
Hera, who was in the right state, refused to listen to any other words, and her face was full of joy of breaking taboos.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
Just as a certain diva was getting into the mood in the forced game, there was a hurried knock on the door and a familiar sentence pattern.
"Lorne, someone insists on seeing you, and we can't stop them."
"Who is it?"
Seeing that the game seemed to have triggered a hidden plot, Helaton felt interesting and turned around to ask on behalf of Loen.
Medusa outside the door answered subconsciously: "It was Hephaestus, the god of craftsmanship, and Thetis. They came together and said they wanted to discuss the wedding."
"..." The excited smile on Hera's face froze instantly, and her body stiffened.
"Oh, no need to inform. I've already said that I'm familiar with that kid Luo En. There's nothing particularly important here for me to see him today. Let me see if he's in there."
At this moment, a rough voice came from outside the door, and a somewhat hunched figure dragged his iconic limp and came to Medusa, reaching out to push the closed door of the temple.
Behind him, an elegant figure exuding a hint of moist sea air also stepped onto the stairs.
Hearing the door creaking, Hera was frightened and looked around, then anxiously left a message and ducked under the table.
"Don't let them know I'm here. Find a way to get them away first!"
Looking at the queen who had buried her head under the tablecloth, Hephaestus who walked in with a smile on his face, and the bride-to-be Thetis who followed behind, Lorne, who was blocking the desk, had a look of despair on his face, and a certain thought inevitably popped up in his mind.
How about destroying it? Hurry up!
The visible sadness made Hephaestus slightly stunned when he entered the room.
"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad? Your expression doesn't seem right either?"
"Well, it's because there's too much work."
Medusa coughed lightly and stepped forward to explain on behalf of Loen.
"As you know, the God War just ended. Although the main gods fell asleep as promised, the human world has experienced the devastation of the war and needs to be rebuilt. Many things need to be handled by someone, especially in Athens today, which cannot do without people."
Upon hearing this, Thetis nodded in agreement.
Having lived on Mount Areopagus for a period of time, she witnessed with her own eyes the progress and development of Athens in culture, skills, entertainment, education, food and other aspects that were ahead of its time. She could also use her wisdom to vaguely sense how different and important this city-state was to the human world.
To maintain this glory, the Athenians and the gods of Areopagus need to work together.
But now, Athena, Hestia, Themis, and Mnemosyne, the original four leaders of the Ares Mountain, have been asleep for various reasons. As the secretary of Crete and the spokesperson who has a close relationship with these four main gods, Loen naturally has to come out to take charge of the situation.
With so much work concentrated on him alone, it is inevitable that he is overworked.
Thinking of this, Thetis looked at the inexplicably haggard figure in front of the desk and the pile of documents behind him, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed.
"How about sitting down and resting for a while?"
As Thetis said this, she was about to step forward to support him.
However, when he saw the chair behind the desk, Lorne seemed to have been switched on. He shuddered uncontrollably and quickly shook his head to decline Thetis's kindness.
"No, I can handle it!"
What a joke, there are already three of them stuffed down there. If I sit on it again, the lionesses under the table might pull my legs apart in a moment.
But strangely enough, the three of them didn't fight on the spot...
Loen looked at the stable table, murmuring secretly in his mind, and a glimmer of hope in his heart was rekindled.
It seems like there is still hope for me?
Then he cheered himself up and gave Thetis, who had come to visit him, an apologetic smile.
"I'm sorry, as you can see, there are too many trivial matters to entertain you properly."
"It's okay. I understand."
Thetis spoke softly, her tone gentle, showing the demeanor of a good wife and mother.
"I just came to see you anyway, it's nothing serious."
"In order for our wedding to go ahead as planned, I will definitely finish everything that needs to be done as soon as possible!"
Loen made a solemn promise and told the original intention of his hard work day and night.
In fact, he worked so hard just to maintain order in Athens to prevent any problems from happening in the upcoming wedding.
It’s all good intentions, and heaven and earth can bear witness to it.
But unexpectedly, something went wrong during the execution. Athena, Artemis, and Hera, all those romantic debts he had incurred in the past, came to him one after another, and by coincidence they were mixed up together, leading to this difficult situation.
"Well, then you go ahead and do your work." Thetis nodded slightly, then put the snacks and gifts she brought from home on the table, appearing very reasonable.
Hephaestus on the side scratched his head helplessly, feeling a little depressed.
"It looks like we can't drink anymore."
Upon hearing this, Luo En immediately smiled.
"That's easy. There's plenty of fairy wine in Ares Mountain, and there's also a batch that was newly brewed this year. I'll let Medusa take you to get it, and I guarantee you'll have enough to drink!"
Not only him, the god of wine, but also a large number of the backbones of the Dionysus cult lived in Athens. They were naturally familiar with brewing wine. The stock accumulated over the years would definitely satisfy Hephaestus' appetite.
Having said that, Hephaestus still felt a little regretful.
“Even if you have good wine, you can only enjoy it if you drink it with someone who has the same temperament as you.”
"That's no problem. The new teachers hired by the Academy of Athens are very talented in forging. If you are interested, Chiron can take you to have a look."
"Chiron? The legendary centaur sage?"
Hephaestus immediately became interested, and Lorne smiled and nodded.
"That's right."
"I've heard of his name a long time ago, and today is a good opportunity to chat with him."
"I'll ask Medusa and the others to take you to the wine cellar to pick out a few jars of fine wine, and then show you the way. If you get drunk, you can stay overnight on the mountain tonight."
After making proper arrangements for the god of craftsmanship, Loen turned his gaze to Thetis beside him and spoke softly.
"Since you're here, why not go see Astraea? She's been talking about you a lot lately."
"Yeah, I miss that kid too."
Thetis nodded slightly, a smile of aftertaste appearing on her elegant face.
Back then, she and Lorne were chased around by the goddess of discord Eris and the three goddesses of vengeance. If it weren't for the critical moment, Astraea, the kind-hearted second-generation goddess of justice, who came to their aid and took them to seek help from Themis, she would probably have died on the Sea of Oceanus because of the [Mark of Vengeance] on her body.
Speaking of which, the relationship between her and Lorne began to heat up rapidly at that time.
In a sense, Astraea was the Cupid who facilitated this marriage.
"Well, go shopping first, and we'll talk after you're done with this."
Lorne waved his hand, and Thetis and Hephaestus, led by Medusa, nodded tactfully and left.
Outside the palace, the breeze blew on her face, and the fresh air rushed into her nostrils. Thetis took a deep breath of the long-lost smell of Mount Ares.
Then, she suddenly stopped, turned her head and looked at the temple with the closed door behind her.
This taste...
Medusa, who was leading the way, turned around and looked at Thetis who was standing there with concern: "What's wrong?"
For some reason, the Gorgon's back was inexplicably tense, filled with a hint of defensive tension.
"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something else." Thetis came back to her senses, smiled, turned around and followed Medusa's footsteps, but her drooped eyes flickered faintly.
At the same time, sensing the figure outside the door walking away, Loen breathed a sigh of relief, carefully picked up a stack of documents on the ground, and reached out to touch the door.
"Why are you running?"
However, a faint voice came from behind, and three figures lifted the tablecloth one by one, walked over in a triangle formation, and blocked someone who was about to escape again in the corner.
Looking at the three smiling faces, Loen couldn't help swallowing.
"When did you two become so close?"
“Just now.”
The three goddesses looked at each other and smiled, as if they had reached some kind of consensus tacitly.
Luo En felt a strong sense of crisis and quickly spoke up to remind him.
"Thetis is not far away..."
Keeping his fiancée on the Ares Mountain was an insurance policy he prepared for himself.
"It's beyond 1,000 meters and is within the safe range." Artemis smiled and broke through the false threat, taking a step forward with a burning gaze.
Loen's eyelids twitched, and he stepped back, turned his gaze to Athena, and asked for help with a dry laugh.
"In the temple, we should always be careful about the impact, right?"
"Why are you looking at me? This is the temple of Athena. What does it have to do with me, Sasha?"
"Sasha" with purple hair and golden eyes spoke innocently, raised his hand and drew a series of Hermetic lines to construct a tight barrier.
Lorne was speechless, and finally looked at the queen who protected the marriage with a sincere gaze.
"Thetis and I are getting married."
"Aren't there still two days left?"
Hera spoke softly, stepped forward to block the last gap, and her sliding fingertips cut through the only piece of fig leaf on the prey's body.
The goddess who swore to protect her chastity betrayed her vow;
The goddess, unable to tolerate defilement, offered up her own temple;
The goddess who protects the legitimacy of marriage, obsessed with forbidden pleasures...
Obviously, the three of them, who were not clean at the moment, became close after some kind of frank talk, because they had each other's leverage, and formed a stable triangular alliance of interests, agreeing to share the prey together.
Watching this shameful scene of collusion, the victim, with nowhere to escape, raised his hands heroically and accepted his cruel fate.
A feast of immorality unfolded fiercely in the holy temple.
