“I hate it!!!”

Clang-

The sharp sound of breaking glass spread throughout the surroundings.

I looked at Lily with trembling eyes, and she was sobbing heavily and breathing heavily.

“Li..Lily..”

“I won’t do it..No, I can’t!! Forgive this woman..?!”

Although she was very nervous, her voice still conveyed her emotions with urgency.

“I’ve lived for three years trying to kill this woman. I’ve swung my sword without sleeping more than three hours a day. Just because of this woman!”

Lily pointed to Athena and spoke, then quickly turned around and grabbed her by the collar.

Athena offered no resistance to Lily and simply followed her wishes.

“You..! How could you do that.. You tore us apart and now you ask for forgiveness..? Don’t make me laugh!!”

“….kid.”

“I’m not a kid!!”

“Li..Lily!!!”

Kwaaang-!!

When Lily threw Athena’s body, she flew limply and crashed into the wall.

Startled by the loud noise, I hurriedly ran to Athena and examined her condition.

“Ah..Athena!”

“It’s okay, Hera. You can’t get hurt like this.”

She dusts herself off and gets up as if nothing happened.

I walked up to Lily before Athena could do anything, grabbed her shoulder hard and screamed.

“Lily!! What the heck!!”

“….Why are you taking that woman’s side?”

But even in the face of my loud shouts, Lily just looked at me with endless, empty tears.

“What…?”

“That woman is evil. She’s the one who divided us.. But why are you taking her side?”

My body trembled at her suppressed words.

Because I could clearly feel how much anger Lily was holding back.

“Lily…”

“I shed tears of sorrow for a year. I shed tears of blood for two years out of self-loathing and revenge. But…but how can I forgive you?”

“……”

Lily’s words made me freeze.

I couldn’t say anything.

Lily said she had loved me as a man before.

Could I possibly fathom Lily’s feelings as she had me stolen from her right in front of her eyes?

….In the first place, do I have the right to tell Lily to be on good terms with Athena?

I looked at her with trembling eyes, unable to say anything.

Lily quickly wiped away her tears and looked at me with blank eyes.

“I think my sister likes that girl more than me.”

I was startled by her words and answered right away.

“What..? That..That can’t be true, Lily..!”

“…..I hate you too, sister.”

After saying those words, Lily turns around and walks out of the inn, slamming the door shut.

I tried to reach out to Lily, but she was gone, so I was left wandering in the air with nowhere to go.

“Liliya..”

My younger brother’s name, called out sadly.

But there was no answer whatsoever.

Eventually, while I was staring blankly out the door for a while, someone came shivering towards me.

“What should I do about alcohol..?”

The manager of this restaurant.

He was shaking with a face that looked like he was going to cry, holding a bowl of food and drinks.

* * *

thud-!

“How much I love you, Lilireuuu!! You don’t even know my heart….huuu..”

“Yeah. You’re right.”

Hera was unable to control her body and cried out her sorrow here and there.

I held my pounding head to calm my headache.

“Sigh….”

I made a mistake.

I shouldn’t have made Hera drink alcohol.

No, even if it was Mac, he should have prevented it from exceeding a certain amount.

But Hera’s eyes. Her face. It was so sad, as if she would cry at any moment, that I couldn’t dare stop her.

Finally, this is what I’ve been waiting for.

I walked over to Hera’s side and made her lean comfortably against me.

“Lily…where’s Lily, Lily…sob…”

“Hera..Lily will calm down as time goes by.”

“Youuu!!”

Suddenly, I turn my body around and stretch my cheeks to the sides.

“Hye..Hye-ra?”

As I looked at her with a puzzled expression, Hera had a blush on her face and a sour expression on her face.

“You..Why did you kidnap me..! Why did you do this to me without permission..!!”

“…….Sorry.”

When I apologized, Hera puffed out her cheeks even more and began to sip from her glass again.

I tried to talk her out of it, but I was a sinner and couldn’t force anything on her.

‘I’m sorry, Hera. I treated you rudely.’

And again, sorry.

Because I don’t regret anything, at least not since the time I met you.

I think about it often.

If I hadn’t taken you then.

Could we have been together like this now?

Could I have shared my love with you and spent time with you?

Of course I knew how much of a sinner I was.

How much I hurt Hera with my wayward personality, and how much I regretted it.

The pain I felt when Hera died was still a terrible memory that I never wanted to experience again.

But a world without her by my side was also…a hell on earth for me.

If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t have forced Hera into becoming my slave. But I would have tried to stay by her side somehow.

“…Ugh..! No, Athena. I’m sorry.”

Where did she go from grumbling just now? She was purring like a cat and rubbing her head against my body.

My heart started beating fast at the sight of her unconventional and cute appearance.

“Come to think of it, Atenya..How did you find me? Did you follow me?”

“There’s no way I wouldn’t find you, Hera.”

As the sensation of Hera’s skin ran over my body, the desire to capture her lips suddenly burst out, but I was able to hold back by leaving a deep kiss on her forehead.

“Hehe..”

Hera began to smile shyly, as if she was happy to see the imprint of my lips on her forehead.

“Ha..”

This was it. The reason why Hera shouldn’t get drunk.

It was so tempting.

Even though he usually fools people without thinking, it felt like he was still keeping the line.

Hera, drunk, felt as if the line had disappeared, if not shattered.

Look at it now.

Doesn’t it keep clinging to your body like a kitten?

It took all my strength to keep my sanity and not attack her here.

‘..It would be less difficult to fight the Demon King.’

While I was tightly closing my eyes and suppressing my desires.

“Ugh…I’m sleepy..”

At last, some good news has arrived.

Perhaps because she had fallen asleep from the alcohol, Hera began to breathe shallowly, leaning her head on her shoulder.

…then there will be no more temptations.

I let out a sigh of relief and carefully placed Hera on my back so she wouldn’t wake up.

“This covers the food and building repair costs. And the food was delicious.”

Hand him a sack full of gold coins.

As I left the restaurant, leaving the owner in tears of joy, the pleasant night air greeted me.

After standing still for a moment and enjoying the night air, I headed towards the inn that Marie had reserved.

“You did a good job coming.”

How lonely he must have felt when this irresponsible owner left him alone for two years.

Hera’s warmth. Her laughter. Her voice. I missed each and every one of them so painfully.

But seeing it again like this, all the difficult memories from back then seemed to have disappeared like bubbles.

‘I’ll just make you smile from now on, Hera.’

I made up my mind countless times.

From now on, I will not do anything without Hera’s consent.

If Hera dislikes it, I will stop immediately, and if she wants, I will give her the stars of the world.

I will live only for Hera’s happiness.

And…my feelings towards her also changed.

Before, I only wanted to monopolize Hera.

If Hera wants it, if she is happy, other people will keep her by her side for Hera’s sake.

There’s a little girl named Lily…and Marie…and…

“…I don’t like that girl, you know.”

A woman with huge breasts whom I once encountered at Drax.

It was clear that he was overwhelmingly stronger in terms of power, wealth, and authority. But for some reason, he couldn’t shake off the feeling that he was defeated.

….but whatever.

If Hera is happy…then I don’t care.

Of course, I would be more than happy if you only looked at me.

Anyway, I will never do the same thing again-

“Hehe..Athena..”

“Ugh.”

I turned my head at the slight tingling sensation and saw Hera biting the back of my neck with a strange smile on her face.

When did I wake up?

And why on earth did her aura become so much more erotic than before?

“Still, it’s so nice to meet you again like this..hehe..”

‘……I have to go quickly.’

The instincts that came from experience were warning my body.

That we must hurry and take Hera to the inn and put her to bed.

Otherwise, I don’t know what would have happened.

But I started walking forward with hurried steps.

My lower stomach started to rumble little by little as I felt it licking the area around my ear, just like a cat.

“Woof..Athena..I missed you..Athena didn’t want to see me?”

Is this what you call talking?

If Hera had known how much I missed her, she might have felt burdened and run away.

But as if she didn’t know what I was thinking, Hera rubbed her body against my back and hugged me tighter.

“Stay with me..Where are you going now?”

“…. Inn. You should sleep. ”

I tried to speak to her as coldly as possible, but all I got in return were spiteful words.

“Then let’s sleep together like before.. I want to sleep with Athena..”

“………”

For a moment, I almost lost my mind because of her pitiful, charming voice, but I barely held myself together.

He shook his head vigorously.

No, it won’t work.

Haven’t you decided?

I will no longer treat her carelessly without Hera’s consent.

I won’t use Hera for my own desires.

I couldn’t break it in just one day of meeting it.

Has Hera been like this for just a day or two?

I had to somehow endure it all.

The moment I was about to walk again.

Hera brought her lips close to my ear.

Her sensual voice broke my mind.

“I really love you Athena♡ Don’t hate me either..”

Towering-

Her words made my body freeze.

“……ha.”

‘This bitch owner is really…’

I turned around and headed towards the inn.

I started walking, following my instincts in the middle of the night.
