The Greece Antagonist

Even later, that bastard actually wanted to use ants to taste the sweetness of honey instead of the goat...

However, before that moment could persist, Melinoe had become thoroughly subdued; after suffering punishment, she burst into tears and rushed into the Queen of the Underworld's chamber, pleading for her dear mother's protection and swearing upon the River Styx never again to seek vengeance against a certain bastard.

After that, both parties officially made peace.

Luo En, entrusted by the Queen of the Underworld, began to give Melinoe special training to integrate into human life.

The Netherworld princess, whose temperament had been almost entirely grinded down, could only obediently nod in agreement.

And after a brief period of instruction, Luo En's teaching was showing initial results.

At least, after having had her fill of hardship, Melinoe was no longer as reckless and lawless as before, no longer eager to make it known to her enemies that she harbored intentions of calculated revenge.

Now, she actually looked a bit like a Goddess of Conspiracy, knowing how to bide her time and disguise her intentions.

Conspiracies thrive in the darkness, amidst chaos; the more brazen the scheme, the more likely it is to be exposed, inviting retribution.

It was a lesson Melinoe had learned through blood and tears, this priceless experience.

Although the seal had not been lifted, she had a vague feeling that her own divinity and that of the Goddess of Conspiracy within her were merging more deeply.

That was why Melinoe, who had been outsmarted time and again, was willing to swallow her pride and make peace with that principal instigator of trouble.

Of course, it was only temporary; she was the Goddess who mastered deception and scheming, not some saint of kindness and love.

When the opportunity for revenge came, she would still seek it. Wait till you're in my clutches, you'll get yours!

In a moment of self-congratulatory pleasure, Melinoe's lips curled sinisterly upward, a cold, ill-intentioned smile spreading across her face.

"What are you thinking about, smiling so happily?"

The faint inquiry by her ear suddenly pulled the Goddess of Conspiracy from her reverie back to reality.

Seeing the face at the door that seemed to smile yet not smile, Melinoe couldn't help but shiver, struggling to squeeze out an innocent and pure smile on her youthful face.

"Of course, I'm just too happy to have the rare opportunity to dine with you, brother..."

Luo En nodded and commented warmly with a smile, "Hmm, quick reaction. But the reason is too fake, and the expression too unnatural. Next time you're thinking about something unhealthy, make sure to be aware of your surroundings."

Hearing this, the fine layer of cold sweat that had just been wiped from Melinoe's forehead reappeared, and her dry throat swallowed several gulps of saliva involuntarily.

Damn, I've been found out, am I going to be thrown into the dark room again tonight?

As the Goddess of Conspiracy agonized internally, a hand gently patted her trembling shoulders, and a thoughtful hum followed closely in her ear.

"Threats are the most foolish self-revelation, and releasing anger without thought is the most dangerous form of caprice. Therefore, before you have the power to solve the problem, never let others easily know what you're thinking, especially your enemies."

Luo En shook his head teasingly, snapping his fingers toward the front.

"Being eager to scratch at someone just because your claws have grown back is a bit too impatient. If you want to be a good Goddess of Conspiracy, start by learning a bit of facial expression management, my dear sister..."

"Ow~"

Melinoe, clutching the spot on her forehead that had been stricken, crouched down and let out a pained groan.

It wasn't until Luo En's figure walked past the corridor that she carefully lowered her hand, the exaggerated suffering on her face fading into a trace of confusion.

Has this guy changed his ways today? He didn't take the chance to retaliate against me?

However, what he said, sounded pretty reasonable.

"Don't let others know what you're thinking, especially your enemies..."

Melinoe murmured as she stood up, stretching her hands to rub her somewhat stiff cheeks and then displaying a sweet, radiant smile as she ran ahead waving her hands.

"Brother, wait for me!"

As Luo En heard her and paused his steps, Melinoe immediately slipped her hand into Luo En's arm, shaking the "brother" on her side and walking shoulder to shoulder into the living room.

At that moment, Persephone, who was busy bringing dish after dish to the table, looked up at the sound and saw the siblings entering side by side, causing her to pause briefly in surprise.

"You two..."

"Mother, let's start eating, I'm starving to death."

Melinoe stepped forward to help, taking a dish from the Queen of the Underworld's hands to the table, cooing with a winsome smile.

Luo En, meanwhile, was setting the table and arranging the cutlery with a supporting smile.

"Me too, I've rarely had the chance to eat the pastries and meals you make these days."

"It's all because those old guys down in Tartarus won't settle down, or otherwise, I would rather stay in the garden and cook for you every day."

Persephone responded almost reflexively, looking lovingly at the harmoniously interacting son and daughter before her, as if feeling the atmosphere of the "home" she had longed for.

Family, huh?

A bright smile spread across the Queen of the Underworld's beautiful face as she affectionately called for Luo En and Melinoe to sit beside her, serving them food and piling vegetables onto their plates.

The mounds of food on their plates looked like her years of guilt and the affection she had failed to provide her children.

"Eat up, eat quickly. There's more mushroom soup in the kitchen, I'll go get it."

Watching Persephone bustling about, unwilling to rest for a moment, Melinoe, who had originally only attempted to pretend for the sake of fun, felt a surge of complex emotions within her heart.

Luo En, observing the shifts in Melinoe's expression, swallowed the food he was chewing and smiled faintly.
