Artemis thought about it carefully. This was the first time she had seen such a situation. What is certain now is that Hilde in front of him is indeed the body given by Athena, and there is the treasure that Athena stole in her body. This means that Hilde is not a monster who deceives himself, but in this process, some strange changes have occurred in Hilde's body and she has become what she is now. So there is only one reasonable explanation. "I suspect it's a curse." "curse?" "Yes, the curse of Zeus." "…Does this mean that I will never be able to lift this curse?" "It may be like this. If it is really the curse of Lord Zeus, I have no way to remove it because I didn't even notice the curse just now. And I don't know what the curse is or what the situation is. I can only guess at the moment." Artemis was worried that Hilde would be sad because of this, so she stroked Hilde's face with a smile. "You don't have to worry too much about this matter. Since it won't hurt others, it's not a bad thing. I have seen Sophia you mentioned. She really cares about you. The look in her eyes when she looks at you is full of love, which means that she must be willing to give herself to you, so I am not worried at all that you will hurt others." "..." Hilde sighed.
"Thank you for your comfort." "You have a hard life too." Artemis had some emotions. She thought she had found Athena's whereabouts, but she didn't expect that Athena had already left and left such a complicated situation to Hilde. Artemis was also very soft-hearted. She saw Hilde's current pain but was powerless to do anything, and she felt quite guilty. However, the most important thing now was not this, but whether Hilde could escape the pursuit on Mount Olympus. "Hilde, listen to me first." "Um……" "Right now, Athena is being hunted by Mount Olympus. Although no god is doing this now, there is still such a risk. If your appearance or other situations are seen by other gods, they will definitely try their best to capture you on Mount Olympus. So, you are now the Queen of Byzantium, and you are already in a state of being a tall tree that attracts the wind. If you are discovered at this juncture, the gods on Mount Olympus will definitely do their best to deal with you. You'd better choose to retire." "Then I have a question." Hilde did not respond directly. "If I am really discovered, what methods will they use?" The fifth section of the first section: Methods of studying curses "...The good news is that none of these gods have chosen to descend to the mortal world. Except for me, the other gods are staying in the divine realm on Mount Olympus. The good news is that they will not directly oppose you. But if you are discovered, it is unknown whether they will descend to the mortal world." "Since they don't come down to earth, how can they find me?" “…Like today.” Artemis said seriously. "If I were a god who wanted to capture you on Mount Olympus, you would not be here now. You are very lucky to have met me who is willing to help you and believe that Athena is innocent. This is simply a lucky thing. If you were captured by Apollo, Ares, or other gods, your doom would have come." "Thank you again." Hilde smiled. "But please forgive me for denying your request."
"why?" "I am the queen of the Byzantine Kingdom. I have led the Byzantine Kingdom from a very dangerous situation step by step to today. But until now, the Byzantine Kingdom has not eliminated its danger. Hundreds of thousands of Byzantine citizens still need my leadership to lead a better life." Hilde looked directly at Artemis in front of her, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "I am the king. I have my own mission to complete, even if it may cost me my life, but I have to do it. If I escape just because I am worried, I will be safe, but I will let my people down." "..." Artemis looked at Hilde's serious expression. I couldn't help laughing for a moment. "What's wrong?" Faced with Artemis' sudden smile, Hilde was a little at a loss. "Nothing... I just saw the same persistence and seriousness that belonged to Athena in you. As expected, Athena had her own reasons for giving her body to you. Since you said so, I can't force you to change your mind. Don't worry, I'm on your side. If there is any special situation, I will inform you immediately. You can continue to be your king, but you must not be unguarded. Especially since you are about to fight the Thracians and meet the King of Thracian, you will most likely face Apollo. After all... Gods will still care very much about whose oracle killed their own oracle." "I understand." Hilde hesitated. "And what if it was Tomyris who killed the Thracian king?" "That's no problem." "So...are you going to tell Tomyris about these things?" "I don't intend to... This is an internal matter of the God's Domain. Although she is my oracle, there are some things that she doesn't need to know. So... I don't intend to tell her about this kind of thing. Similarly, it's best if only you know about this matter, especially the treasure in your body. I don't doubt that in addition to Lord Zeus, there will be other gods who covet this treasure." "Yes……" Hilde should accept it. "Back to the curse just now. I want to do some research on this matter. I suspect that this curse is directly related to the treasure on you. So if possible, can you bring Sophia with you? I want to check the amulet on her body and what happened when you sucked blood." "This...not so good." "what happened?" "It's just that... when it's sucking blood, it's not just pure blood sucking. It might be more... not suitable for children." "…Isn't it just sucking blood? Like a mosquito?" "If you don't believe me, I'll bring Sophia here and show you myself. But please forgive me if something strange happens." Since this was a request made by Artemis herself, Hilde could only meet it. She also hoped to learn how to remove the curse this time. After all, bloodsucking would still bring a lot of trouble. That's why Hilde agreed to such a request. "Then trouble you." Artemis said with a smile. "It's getting late, you should rest for a while." "That's not necessary..." Hilde shook her head. "I don't need sleep." "…Is it also related to blood-sucking?"
"I can't be sure about this, but I have been like this since I was a child. If you let me sleep, I can sleep, but even if I don't sleep for a year, it's no problem. I think time is very important. Since I have time without sleep, I can use it to do other things." This other thing refers to walking on the street late at night. In fact. Hilde wanted to prevent others from noticing this abnormality. At night, she couldn't even read by lamplight, after all, if she left the light on in the room, the servants would find out, so the only thing Hilde could do was to go out for a walk. She took advantage of the fact that no one was free to have fun in the city at night. "So what are you going to do now?" "Well...I'd better go back first." Hilde thought about it for a moment. "If conditions permit, I will bring Sophia here." "Row." So Hilde stood up and straightened her clothes. Now, except for a hole on her shoulder, there was no other problem on her body. The arrow shot by Artemis before did not seem to leave any wounds. Hilde thought that Artemis must have healed her. So, Hilde could naturally go to find Sofia and the others without any worries. After checking his body, Hilde continued to ask: "I want to ask, where are they now?" "It's nearby. I'm not sure, but I can ask for you." Artemis clapped her hands softly. Hilde didn't quite understand the meaning of this action. However, not long after, footsteps were heard outside the tent. At this time, a girl with animal ears gently lifted the tent and walked in. When Hilde saw her, she was also a little surprised. After all, the girl in front of her had wolf-like ears on her head and a fluffy tail behind her, which was gray and black in color. When the girl walked in, she also saw Hilde standing beside her, and said politely: The fifth tune, the second section, maybe this is true love "Your Majesty Hilde, are you feeling unwell?" "It's okay now." Hilde responded with a smile. "Excuse me, are you..." "I am Tomyris, princess of the Kingdom of Scythia." This is Tomyris! Hilde was a little surprised. She had originally thought that the princess of the tough Scythian Kingdom should be a heroic heroine. However, from what she could see, Tomyris looked only 13 or 14 years old, very young. At the same time, her face was round and had some baby fat. Although she looked mature, a closer look showed that she was cute, not majestic. If the wolf ears on the head were on someone else, they would probably be scary. But in Tomyris's case. Needless to say, that pair of wolf ears is a symbol of cuteness.
Tomyris didn't realize that Hilde was thinking something rude at the moment. She turned around and said to Artemis, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?" "Don't worry, Hilde already knows my true identity." "Yes!" Hearing this, Tomyris immediately showed great respect. Artemis smiled slightly and said, "Hilde is now fine. Next, take her to find her companions." "understood." Tomyris turned around and said to Hilde: "Your Majesty, please follow me." "Well, thank you for your hard work." So Hilde left the tent with Tomyris. "Just now, when Lady Artemis clapped her hands, you came over." "Yes, Artemis and I are in tune with each other. She doesn't need to call me to come over, I can feel it. It's my great honor." When she mentioned Artemis, Tomyris had a warm smile on her face. It seemed that she really liked Artemis from the bottom of her heart. Hilde could understand it. After all, it was a good thing for a mortal to be favored by the gods. "Yes." Hilde also said with emotion: "I'm so envious." "I heard...you are Lady Athena?" At this time, Tomyris asked nervously. "Ah, it's just a misunderstanding." "But……" "I am indeed related to Lady Athena, and I look exactly like Lady Athena, which is why Lady Artemis misunderstood me. Please don't take this too seriously." "So that's it..." For some reason, Tomyris suddenly felt relieved. Hilde didn't know why she seemed so worried. But Hilde didn't know what to ask, so she followed Tomyris silently, and finally came to the front of several tents. Now it seemed that Sophia and the others should be inside. At this time, Tomyris stopped, turned around, and said to Hilde: "This is where your country's envoys live. I will return to the tent of Master Artemis first. If you need anything, you can come to me anytime and anywhere." "Thank you very much." "No, I should thank you." After Tomyris finished speaking, she turned and left. After watching Tomyris leave, Hilde walked straight into the tent.
"Throw him! Throw him!" "Amyntas! You can do it! Dunk him!" At this time, inside the tent, two men were hugging each other and playing a wrestling game. The space inside the tent was relatively small, so the Pancrassian fighting, which was popular in ancient Greece, could not be performed, so wrestling became a good choice. However, the two naked men hugged each other and twisted on the ground, which was obviously a bit eye-catching. The man fighting against Amyntas didn't seem to be very strong. Soon, he was pinned to the ground by Amyntas and completely lost his ability to resist. Amyntas, who won, raised his hands to show off, but just as he was about to cheer, his eyes met Hilde at the door. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
