Please end it quickly.

The Pegasus took him back to the mountain, where the hundred-eyed giant Argos and the god of light Apollo were waiting for him.

Seeing Promise return so quickly, Argos was surprised and lowered his voice, trying to speak softly to him: "Promise, why did you come back so quickly? Didn't those people plan to treat you well?"

As he said this, the giant was clearly angry.

The events of last night made him realize that Promise was now Hera's favorite.

When the goddess left last night, the way she looked at this boy with such helplessness, affection, and gentleness that made him feel that she was not Hera at all, but someone else impersonating her!

Moreover, he had rarely seen anyone who got involved in matters between Hera and Zeus and still came out unscathed... What's more, Promise not only survived but also resolved the situation perfectly!

Argos thought that when Zeus learns about this, he would definitely have a headache,

But the key point was that there was nothing Zeus could do about it,

He could not even get angry.

So, Argos was thinking that if Promise had been wronged there, he wouldn't mind stepping in to teach those people a lesson!

"No, nothing like that happened," However, the latter shook his head and said, "They welcomed me warmly and were preparing to hold a feast and give me generous rewards, but I declined. I just asked them to help spread my name."

One more legend added!

Thinking about how his legendary deeds could be added to his class card, and that people would help him spread his fame for free, Promise couldn't help but smile.

Seeing him smile so happily, Argos, though a bit puzzled, felt relieved.

At this moment, the god of light Apollo, who had been standing quietly and smiling lightly, naturally saw everything.

Including how Io looked at Promise longingly and sorrowfully when he left.

So, he naturally asked the boy, "But child, don't you think that girl is very beautiful?"

"Io is indeed quite beautiful, but why?" The latter looked at Apollo in confusion, tilting his head in puzzlement.

Promise hadn't paid much attention to Io, so he hadn't noticed how deeply affectionate her gaze was when she looked at him.

After all, when he decided to follow Hera, he had already resolved to avoid stepping on her toes.

For this reason, he vowed never to marry, never to own land, and never to have children.

He would devote himself entirely to upholding the glory of Queen Hera!

Besides, even if he had noticed, Promise would have run even faster!

Good grief, Io was a woman whom Zeus desired but had not obtained.

As a man himself, Promise understood very well what would happen when a man desires a woman but isn't able to get her...

He might think about her for a lifetime!

This was why, in the palace earlier, he kept mentioning Hera in every sentence.

Everything was done by Hera and had nothing to do with him!

Seeing Promise's bewildered expression, Apollo smiled lightly and said no more.

Apollo, who was as love-minded as his sister Artemis, felt a bit regretful that such a beautiful love ended before it began, but in his heart he also felt that Io alone was not worthy of Promise.

'Oh, by the way, I heard that Atalanta has a good relationship with this child.'

'Little Atalanta grew up under the care of Artemis and me, not only cute but also able to protect Promise. Hmm... I'll discuss it with Artemis in a while.'

Promise naturally didn't know what Apollo was thinking at that moment.

After he exchanged a few more words with the hundred-eyed giant Argos, Argos prepared to leave.

Argus was mainly worried that if he continued talking, something might go wrong, for example, if he accidentally lost control of his voice and laughed out loud and burst Promise's eardrums

He felt that Hera would probably dig out his eyes one by one herself!

And now that Argus no longer had to look after Io, he felt relieved.

If it weren't for Hera's orders, who would want to get involved in the messy affairs between Zeus and Hera?

In this regard, Argos was genuinely grateful to Promise.

Moreover, he had always thought well of Promise, so before leaving, he expressed that if he ever needed his help in the future, he could come to him directly.

When Promise needed assistance, all he had to do was show the painting, and Argos would respond.

Hearing this, as he watched Argos leave, Promise realized that his life was indeed drifting further and further away from the path of a warrior.

After all, Hephaestus's divine weapons hadn't even been forged yet, and he already had four paintings.

The sword of the goddess of justice Themis, Pegasus, the hundred-eyed giant Argos, and the river goddess Aegina... Although the painting of the river goddess might not count, since her weak divine power allowed her to be recorded temporarily, but it was fleeting.

Every day, the divine power in the painting was dwindling.

It wouldn't be long before it became just an ordinary painting with no power.

'Hmm... But becoming a summoner doesn't seem like a bad idea, right?

'When the Holy Grail War starts, I wouldn't even need to fight personally. I could fight and draw people to join. If the Holy Grail War is simple enough and not filled with gods, I might even perform a one-night Holy Grail War?'

Thinking this, Promise's smile widened, feeling very happy.

But soon, his smile faded, and he almost felt like crying.

Pegasus spread its wings again, running through the sky.

This time, it was flying several times faster than usual.

The main reason was that it felt that if it didn't fly faster this time, its little master would definitely cause trouble for it afterwards, because the god of light Apollo was sitting right behind Promise.

Yes, Apollo was sitting behind Promise, with the sky's gentle breeze blowing through his golden hair.

He also stretched out his hand and tucked the hair beside his ear down in a somewhat charming manner..

His sky-blue eyes looked gently at the stiff Promise in front of him.

If he weren't afraid of accidentally hugging the boy to death, he would have already wrapped his arms around Promise's waist.

Oh God, please end this quickly!

.

This time, Pegasus was very reliable,

Mainly because with the god of light Apollo protecting them, it could run with all its might.

At the same time, it was afraid that its little master would indeed trouble it later, like tearing up its painting and abandoning it.

Although it was also forced into this situation.

So, just after the afternoon, while Apollo was still contemplating whether to hold the delicate Promise in his arms and was even about to take action,

Pegasus brought them back to the sanctuary.

As soon as they landed, Promise couldn't wait to get off Pegasus, and then he saw the trembling laurel tree goddess Daphne.

Apollo was very touched by Daphne's reaction, believing she was expressing her joy at his return, which alleviated his regret of not holding Promise as he smiled.

Promise also smiled.

Because a smile doesn't disappear, it just shifts.

At that moment, he seemed to hear Daphne's cry.

No—!
