The Hero Took Everything from Me, So I Partied with the Hero’s Mother! Chapter 366

Hero's Mother After – Chapter 150 l Side What Was Chosen

I stood in the hall with my hands folded, my face calm, yet my voice was sweet—too sweet, like honey that hides the sharp taste of dicine.

"So, Hera-san! I have a favor to ask?"

Hera raised an eyebrow. "A favor? What is it?"

I bowed slightly, my voice soft.

"Could you give that fruit called Nectar?"

Hera's face changed at once. Her lips tightened, and her eyes narrowed.

"Haa~ I thought you would say that."

I smiled, not surprised.

I tilted my head, acting cheerful. "But you would give it to , your sister-in-law, wouldn't you?"

"Still..." Hera looked unsure.

I leaned in just a little.

"Don't you think fighting between sisters is a waste? Serena-kun and I get along very well. If I beco your ally, I could help you too, Hera-san."

"And if you don't?" Hera asked slowly.

"Oh, nothing!" I laughed lightly. "I won't do anything. I won't speak badly about you."

Hera didn't reply, but I didn't wait for permission.

"Well then! That's perfect. From now on, I'll be sure to praise the other wives when I talk to Serena-kun."

Hera frowned. "What do you an by that?"

"It's simple," I said, still smiling. "I just won't ntion you at all. I'll speak highly of the others, and your na won't co up."

"Are you threatening ?"

"Oh no, this isn't a threat!" My tone remained sweet. "But think about it. If soone has to choose between a kind person and a cold one, they'll always pick the kind one. Isn't that normal?"

"...Yes, I suppose so," Hera admitted quietly.

My smile faded a little, turning sad. "And thanks to you, I beca an immortal goddess. But because of that, I lost sothing. I can't et my old friends or my husband anymore. Don't you think that's sad?"

I looked up, eyes gentle. "Wouldn't the mother of the gods lend a hand to a lonely woman?"

The room was quiet for a long mont. Then Hera nodded, slowly.

"I understand. But know this—Nectar is far more rare and valuable than anything in this world. Still, I'll give you one. Just one. This is a special case."

"Yes?"

"There will not be a second ti."

With that, Hera reached into a small case and handed a single piece of glowing fruit.

I held it gently. "Thank you."

Hera looked away. "You're lucky I'm soft when it cos to family."

I bowed again, hiding my smile.

Later, I stood by a wide river with Lida.

The sky was soft and blue, the water moving slow and quiet. Lida sat with a fishing rod, his legs crossed, his eyes focused on the river's calm surface.

"If only one person could stay here, it should be you," I said.

Lida blinked. "What do you an?"

"I thought about Zect," I said, watching the water, "but I don't feel anything anymore. Maria would've been his partner from the start."

I sat beside Lida, folding my legs under . "You see, Lida, you were the one who leaned on Ceres the most. And I... I don't want to live forever alone."

I looked up at the sky. "Living a long ti is hard. If I must keep walking through endless ti, I'd rather have soone close by."

Lida smiled gently. "So that's why you wanted to go fishing with ."

"The ti I have with you and the others is limited. I wanted to do sothing normal, sothing warm."

Lida said, "I'm glad. Ceres is the only friend who ever ca fishing with . It's good to have soone here."

"Then let's make a fire," I said. "We'll cook the fish we catch."

"Yeah. Thanks."

I reached into my bag. "Oh right! I brought sothing special. A rare fruit. Would you like to try it?"

Lida looked up, curious. "Really?"

"Yes. Here you go!"

Lida took the fruit and bit into it with a smile.

"Mmm... It's delicious."

"I'm happy to hear that," I said softly.

I looked at her quietly. Now, Lida was truly on our side.
