"I haven't seen you for half a year. You seem to have gained weight."
"Lululu, don't say I'm fat!" Xerxes jumped down from Hilde's arms and kissed her on the lips. "Although I'm eager to go to the underground secret room with you to enjoy it, there are more important things."
"Ok?"
Hilde looked to the other side.
At this time, Sophia also came out.
"Thank you for your hard work, Sophia."
"It's okay, Sissi."
Sophia smiled and nodded, then said to the person behind her: "Come out."
"Yeah, just come out."
Hilde smiled bitterly and said, "I knew you were here from a long way away."
“Yeah, that’s right.”
Artemis stood up somewhat at a loss.
There was nothing that could be done about it. Artemis was a god. When the god arrived in Byzantium, Hilde naturally knew who had come here. So Hilde was not surprised. However, when she saw Artemis, Hilde asked Xerxes with some confusion: "What happened?"
"Of course."
Xerxes smiled and nodded.
"A lot of things happened."
"Well, we can talk slowly today."
Hilde gave Sophia a look.
Sophia was also very smart. She knew that every time Hilde was preparing for a long chat, she would prepare wine and snacks. So, Sophia left the hall and ordered the slaves in the palace to prepare all kinds of wine and food.
And after Sophia left.
Hilde came to Artemis.
"It's been a long time, Master Artemis."
"It's about half a year or so."
"Yes, but it took quite a long time."
Hilde smiled.
"However, you came at a wrong time. Tomyris is still in the Northern Frontier. Even if we send a signalman, it will take a long time to go back and forth."
"I guess that can wait."
Artemis said helplessly:
"My current identity is no longer a hunting goddess, but a poor god who was captured and imprisoned by the Byzantine Empire."
"Oh?"
Hilde asked curiously.
"In the end what happened?"
"Wait a minute, I'll tell you slowly."
The 6th verse of the second tune begins the confession of the goddess
After Sophia has prepared everything.
Hilde ordered the guards not to allow anyone to enter the main hall of the palace, and then took these people to her bedroom. Here, Sophia skillfully prepared a variety of delicacies and drinks on the table.
Although Sophia is Hilde's princess, her status will change greatly at this time. She is no longer a princess, but a servant of the three people, who specializes in pouring wine for the three people.
After Hilde sat down.
I asked curiously:
"So, can someone explain to me what's going on?"
"Let me do it."
Artemis took a sip of her wine and exhaled.
"I must apologize to you for this matter."
"apologize?"
"Yes, I betrayed you..."
"Well, so, what's the reason?"
"Father, Zeus has discovered everything I have done. He knows that I gave the Moonlight Bow to Tomyris, that I asked Tomyris to help you defeat Apollo, that I provided you with help, and that I knew of your existence but did not tell any gods. Zeus has discovered you. I don't know how he discovered you, but Zeus put a lot of pressure on me at the time. I was afraid of death, afraid of being like Apollo, so I could only go down to earth with other gods to find a way to get rid of you."
"I understand what you mean."
Hilde nodded thoughtfully.
"So, Zeus knows everything?"
“He didn’t say, but I think so.”
"That's hard to say."
Hilde couldn't help laughing.
"In fact, Zeus may sometimes only have part of the evidence, and these evidences cannot form a complete chain of evidence to prove that you really betrayed Zeus. However, Zeus uses some words to make you think that he seems to be omniscient and omnipotent. In addition, in your hearts, you will also default to Zeus as an omniscient and omnipotent god. Therefore, naturally, you will feel that the truth has been exposed, right?"
"..."
Artemis shook her head.
"No matter what, things have come to this point."
"Well, then what? You said you betrayed me, what happened next?"
"Afterwards, Zeus asked us to go down to earth and find the oracle to fight against you and your Byzantine Kingdom, and also asked us to capture you back."
"I already know about this."
"what?"
Artemis asked in surprise.
"Why do you know?"
"You guys on Mount Olympus have traitors too."
"What do you mean, idiot?"
"A traitor."
Hilde looked at Xerxes with a wry smile.
Look, the biggest traitor of the Persian Empire is sitting here.
"Some gods have come to inform me of bad things that might happen, so I have a rough idea of these situations. Recently, I have actually been thinking about how to deal with this situation."
"Um……"
Artemis nodded.
"Well, now that you know..."
"But what I want to know is more details."
Hilde reached out and gently took Artemis' hand.
Then, she put her five fingers into Artemis' fingers, and the two of them interlocked their fingers tightly.
Hilde also moved in front of Artemis, her face very close to Artemis. The face that was exactly the same as Athena's was too shocking. In response, Artemis immediately turned her head away and said in a somewhat bewildered manner: "I, I will tell you everything I know, can you please stay away from me?"
"Knew it."
Hilde laughed.
"You seem to really like Athena."
"N-Nonsense!"
“Reactions can’t lie.”
Hilde loosened his grip and sat back down in his seat.
"You tell me, I'll listen."
“Well…it’s like this.”
Artemis told all kinds of things that happened in the God Realm, including how she was suspected by Zeus and Hera, where she and Ares had been, and how she was finally caught here by Xerxes and Sophia. Artemis told all the things in detail without panic. After she finished speaking, Artemis sighed and said helplessly: "Anyway, that's it. I have said everything I can say."
"that's enough."
Hilde nodded with a smile.
"So, Zeus is determined to kill me."
"right……"
"After all, the Book of Creation is in my body, and Athena also knows his true purpose. Zeus is of course afraid that he wants to use the Book of Creation to do something shameful. Therefore, he does not want other gods to know the truth, so he naturally chooses to conceal and deceive in various ways. And those gods who fear him will naturally be deceived by these lies and be willing to serve him."
"Yes."
Artemis held her head in despair.
"Now, what should I do?"
"Don't worry."
Hilde patted Artemis on the shoulder.
"This matter is not that serious."
"But, but..."
"Instead, this is an opportunity." Hilde smiled and looked at Artemis. "Think about it. Since Zeus is trying his best to prevent this from being exposed and is willing to kill Athena, do you really think you can survive if you already know some of the information about this matter? If Zeus really takes back the original book of creation, the first person he will deal with is naturally you who know something about the cause of Athena's death."
Hilde laughed.
It seems like this is something very funny.
Artemis was stunned.
"Really, really?"
"What else? Although I don't know Zeus, I think that since he can become the king of gods, he must have such a cruel and ruthless attribute. What's more, isn't the matter of Athena a precedent?"
When it comes to this.
Xerxes crawled in front of Hilde with a grape in his mouth.
Hilde tried to catch the grapes with her mouth, but when Hilde's mouth was about to reach her, Xerxes immediately swallowed the grapes back into his own mouth.
In the end, Hilde came up empty-handed.
He kissed Xerxes directly on the lips.
"You bastard."
Hilde also smiled slightly and directly pressed Xerxes' head.
Chapter 7 of the second section: Solutions to the problem
Hilde used her dexterous tongue to easily knock open Xerxes' teeth, then hooked out the grapes that Xerxes had hidden under his tongue and put them into her own mouth.
"Woooooooo..."
Xerxes was tricked like this.
The whole person turned into a pool of spring water.
He collapsed directly onto Hilde's lap.
Artemis watched this scene, but she was not shy or anything. As a goddess, Artemis had seen more outrageous things than this, so she could completely accept what Hilde did.
And now, Artemis was thinking about a question.
