However, judging from the timeline, my Heavenly Empress seems to be a bit later than expected. Therefore, seeing Hera's sullen face, Zeus felt no surprise at all.
"Smile? Are you referring to cheering up that old woman? Celebrating that her children will be born before mine and become the great Divine King's eldest son?"
With a cold snort, Hera didn't show Zeus any warmth in her expression, and the Divine King had nothing to say in return.
In fact, Zeus was somewhat helpless himself. He too had wished to have an eldest son with Hera first, as he had never entertained the thought of anyone else taking Hera's place. But for some reason, although things had been fine at the start of their marriage, over the past few decades, Hera had been intentionally or unintentionally avoiding him until only recently things had returned to normal.
