Ivomedon was still very smart, and when he told the villagers that Queen Thetis would help them bear all the taxes this year, all the villagers began to cheer and praise Thetis for her kindness.

Then he offered to help the queen build a granary in return, and the villagers immediately agreed, and they came to thank Thetiss for her generosity. Theses, who had always been pampered, was a little embarrassed.

......

Today, the goddesses and nymphs of Arcadia all think Artemis is a little strange, and they are listless when they return in the morning. I didn't frolic with them as usual, I didn't go hunting, I didn't go to the hot springs, I just sat alone in the temple in a silent daze.

The fairies watching Artemis outside the temple whispered.

"What's wrong with the little princess today?"

"I don't know. ”

"What's upset, isn't there?"

"Why don't we ask?"

"Don't go, maybe you've met a pretty boy. ”

As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding fairies refuted one after another.

"How is that possible?"

"Yes. ”

"The little princess has sworn never to marry. ”

......

"What are you talking about?"

A slightly stern voice sounded not far away, and the fairies were startled, and hurriedly turned back to salute the comer.

"Who allows you to talk about a presiding god behind your back?" the goddess standing in front of them seemed a little angry, and instead of her usual gentleness, she sternly questioned the fairies.

As soon as the fairies were silent for a while when she said this, they didn't dare to reply.

"Tell me, what's going on? I don't believe you'd be so bold if there was no reason. Seeing that the fairies were all hanging their heads and not daring to speak, the goddess spoke again.

"Goddess Actetae, the Lord God Artemis seems to have something on his mind today. "Fairies, look at me, I'll look at you, and finally have a bold opening.

"And such a thing?" Actea was also a little surprised, Artemis, as one of the twelve main gods of Mount Olympus, what could bother her?

"It's true, the main god Artemis didn't even soak in the hot springs when he came back today, so he entered the temple and hasn't come out until now. ”

"I see, don't talk about it anymore, go back. ”

"Yes. The fairies answered and left.

Actea walked towards the temple, and there were only a handful of people in all of Arcadia who were allowed to enter and leave the temple at will, and Actea was one of them.

Walking into the temple, as the group of fairies said, Artemis was sitting on the large throne in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't even notice the arrival of Acteya.

"Artemis, what are you thinking?"

"Huh?" Artemis, who was still in a daze, was startled, and after seeing that it was Actea, he hurriedly tried to reach out and cover his face, but halfway through his hand, he remembered that he didn't seem to have anything to fear, so he brushed his hair again.

"I'm fine, Sister Actea. Artemis forced to smile and feign composure.

Looking at Artemis's extremely unnatural movements and smiling face, Actea knew there was something definitely wrong with her.

"And say it's okay? The fairies are talking about you today, and some even say that you want to be a handsome young man and think of being in a daze. ”

"Ahh

"Is this true?!" Actea stared at Artemis incredulously, "Are you going to break your vow?"

"No, no, no, don't ......," Artemis quickly waved his hand to explain, but Actea was a little pleased.

"It would be great if it really was, Artemis, and if you could find your own happiness, your mother doesn't know how happy she would be. Actea said with a look of relief.

Artemis was still a little shy, but when he heard Actea talk about his mother, his face immediately darkened. "Sister Acteia, I have already asked my father for eternal chastity, and it is impossible for me to marry again, so don't say such things again. ”

"Uh...... All right. Actea thought for a moment, and immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing. The tragic experience of Artemis's mother, Leto, once left an indelible wound in her heart, and it was really uncomfortable for her to mention Leto in front of her.

"Sister Acteya, come with me to the hot springs. Fortunately, Artemis was not angry, but was a little depressed.

"Okay. Actea replied with a smile on her face, but she secretly complained in her heart. She had just returned from the goddess of springs, and she was going again.

......

Artemis dragged Actea to the hot springs, but by this time the hot springs were already occupied.

"Arethusa, you're so early today. Seeing the woman soaking in the hot springs, Artemis was in a better mood and barely better.

"No, Lord God, I've been soaking all night. Arethusa was soaked in the water, revealing only her white shoulders and a small head, and she was about to fall asleep with her eyes squinted.

Hearing Artemis's words, she quickly opened her eyes, but when she saw Actea she felt a little strange, "Sister Acteia, didn't you just go back? ”

Artemis glanced at Actea with a smirk, "So my sister has already soaked it, and it seems that I shouldn't have called you here." ”

"Why, I didn't soak enough last night. Seeing Artemis's expression, Actea exclaimed in her heart and hurriedly said.

"That's right......" Artemis ignored her, taking off her clothes.

Unfastened the wide belt, took off the small shoulders sewn from the animal skin, and the long white skirt slowly slipped to the ground. What remained in the air at the moment was a graceful body that was white and flawless, shimmering seductively in the light of the morning sun. Of course, Apollo, who had been roaming the sky in a sun carriage all day, could not see Acadia in his eyes.

Artemis stepped into the water, revealing only her shoulders and head, as Aretusa had done, and Actea behind her took off her skirt and entered the hot springs together.

"Hmm~It's so comfortable~" Artemis squinted his eyes, like a little milk cat who had had enough of enjoying it, and let out a pleasant tone.

Beside her, Aritusa narrowed her eyes again, and fell into her previous half-asleep state.

Seeing Arethusa's sleepy appearance, Actea took the opportunity to whisper to Artemis, "Artemis, tell me about your sister, what troubles did you encounter last night?" Seeing that Artemis was in a good mood, Actea became bolder.

"It's nothing, it's just that I saw Sister Thetis last night. Artemis said casually.

"What, did you really meet Sister Thetis?" asked Acteia, a little incredulous.

"Oh, it's your own sister, yes, I still talked to her. Artemis said with a grin.

"What, what sister?" Aritusa asked, without opening her eyes, a little dazed, no doubt awakened by the sound of the two of them talking.

"It's none of your business, baby, go to bed. Artemis grinned and teased Arethusa, and the hand in the water took the opportunity to climb directly onto her plump chest.

"Ah!!h

"Hahaha. Looking at Arethusa, who was running away like a white fish, Artemis was almost out of breath with laughter.

Finally stopping, Artemis couldn't help but rub his fingers again. Well, it feels pretty good.

Actea was already helpless, this sister could sit in the council hall of Mount Olympus and meet with the gods when she was mature, and when she was childish, she was like now, and she almost laughed to death when she succeeded in prank.

"But why are you unhappy to meet Sister Thetis?" said Actea lowered her hands, still wondering at Artemis' sullenness.

"You know, Sister Thetis gave birth to a boy, it's so cute. ”

"Really?" Actea said with a deep sense of surprise in her voice, but she immediately felt that something was wrong.

"But what does that have to do with your unhappiness?"

Artemis gave her a blank look, and said as a matter of course: "Thinking that I would never have such a cute child, I am very sad, so I am in a bad mood." ”

Dizzy!

Actea didn't want to talk to Artemis anymore, and he was unhappy for such a strange reason, and there was really no one!

It seems that it is time to go see my sister and the nephew who has never met. Actea thought to herself.

Seeing that Actaea was not delving, Artemis was quietly relieved. She didn't know what to say, she couldn't say that she was thinking about a six or seven-year-old child, who would be laughed at by everyone. Artemis sighed deeply, and the true explanation in her heart was known only to herself.

......

At Thetis's house, Su Muran was lying on the bed, and little Pat stood next to him and listened to him boast about the heroic story of his injury yesterday.

"You don't know how terrible that monster was back then, but thanks to my cleverness, I wouldn't have seen you today. ”

Little Pat looked at him earnestly with his eyes open.

"So you're saying you used your ass to get the monster's attention and beat him down when it bit up?"

"Yes, that's right, that's it. Su Muran nodded hurriedly.

Little Pat stared at Su Muran seriously, seeing that his heart was furious.

"Why are you looking at me like that, what I said is true. ”

"But that's not what Aunt Thetis said. ”
