123. Hela

The place was dark with the only color being red fire here and there. He walked slowly like he was in a park. Looking for Hela.

Hela's powers were dependent on Asgard. The closer she was to Asgard the stronger she would be. On top of that, it was Odin's powers that were keeping her tied in Hel. That's why when Odin died, she appeared.

On his way, he met many dark creatures whom he purified. After a while, he finally found the girl.

"Who are you?" She amusingly asked. She hadn't sensed any new arrival there and it only meant that there was another way to get out.

"I am God-son, Alexander" he replied and conjured a nice table and two chairs. Plus some lights as the place was too dark.

She was amused by the show of magic just now and took a seat. "Which God?"

"Haha... That knowledge is above your paygrade and even if I told you, you won't believe it." Alexander replied.

"And why have you come here?" She questioned.

"To get you out."

"And why would you do that?" she sounded uninterested. Most likely thinking that she was being lied to.

"Because your father did injustice to you. Instead of facing you. He hid you. I have agreed to take you under my wind on the promise that I can curb your bloodlust," Alexander honestly explained.

"So my father has sold me. What are you going to do with me? Use me? Feast on my body like all you savages lust for?" she scoffed. But to her surprise, Alexander laughed.

"Hahaha...No, my child. I already have the most beautiful woman in the world as my wife. No, I am adopting you." He smiled.

Hela's eyebrows lifted in surprise, "And why would I accept you as my father? You don't even know how strong I am. What if I just kill you and go on my way?" She asked. She was honestly interested in knowing how he was planning on containing her.

"Alright then, let's fight. Let's get out of this prison, get you some food and rest to bring you back to the peak strength and then fight. If you win, I'll let you do whatever you want. If I win, then you'll be Hela Maxim Universe." Alexander challenged and continued.

"I know what you are thinking. To keep this wow, let's make an unbreakable vow. Whoever breaks it shall die." He moved his hand towards her.

"Amusing, I've never seen such magic. Alright, I'll take this bet." She got close and was about to grab his hand.

"But before our fight, you aren't allowed to hurt or kill anyone," Alexander added.

"I understand," she agreed after thinking a little. She could only see this as the only way to get out.

"Haha... Good girl. Now let's go" He took out his anywhere door. Surprising Hela with his way of travel. She was expecting something more... powerful.

As soon as Alexander and Hela crossed the door and appeared in the feast hall, all the noise stopped. They looked at him with question marks on their heads.

"Haha... Everyone, welcome another one of my daughters, Hela" Alexander shouted. Most of the people were drunk so they also shouted and cheered just for the sake of it.

Hela was intently looking at Odin. Ready to pounce and kill her captor.

"Now, remember our promise, girl. Come with me. I'll introduce you to your new family. He grabbed her hand and dragged her to Medusa first.

"This is your little sister, Medusa. Hey Medusa, say hi to the new big sis," Alexander said. Medusa still had her mouth stuffed with food and looked at Hela.

"Aaaaa... Big sis likes green too?" Medusa suddenly hugged her. Making Hela twitch a little.

After that, he took her to Rina. She was still defeating everyone in the drinking game and introduced them.

At last, he brought her to Olivia and Amy.

"Sweet Amy, look who's here. This is big sis, Hela. She will live with us from now on," he warmly said.

Amy kept on staring at Hela with her big eyes and Hela did the same.

~So Cute~ Hela though inside.

Suddenly Amy stood up and held her hand towards Hela. Seemingly asking to be picked up in the air.

"Pretty Sista, Pick me," she cutely demanded.

~Awww... No, Hela... You must maintain your image.~ Hela fought her inner woman.

But who could fight Amy's world-ending cute stares? In the end, Hela gave up and picked Amy up.

"Ahaha... Sista, your skin so nice. I like" Amy rubbed her small chubby hands on Hela's cheeks.

"Haha... Glad you two like each other. Now, at last, meet your beautiful Mother or Grandma, my girls call me Grandpa as I am very old. You can call me Father or Grandpa whichever you like." Alexander suggested.

Hela was amazed seeing the pretty woman. Olivia didn't look that old.

"Hello, beautiful lady. Would you like to have a drink with me?" Thor came to them, drunk.

Hela looked at her blood-related brother with disgust, ~Is he trying to woo his own sister?~

"No, Thor boy. She has important stuff to discuss. Go to Rina and drink with her." Alexander tried to shoo him away.

"Ah, No, Not her. I have already lost all my honor to her. No more. I shall find someone else to defeat" he dragged himself away.

"Is he the prized crown prince Odin has selected over me?" Hela angrily muttered.

"Haha... It's alright my dear. If you want to become a queen, then I'll make you a queen someday. Even our little Medusa is the Queen of Serpents." Alexander patted her head. It was Alexander's habit to pat his daughters on the head.

Hela quickly put his hand away and walked to Odin to talk.

She sat on the seat Alexander was sitting in. Alexander also walked towards them to keep things from escalating.

"Really, this drunk baffoon as the next King?" She mockingly asked.

"I had no other option, child. My first choice was you, but you liked to fight too much. Even when there could be peace," Odin reasoned.

"I wanted glory for Asgard, that's it. We knew there were other threats out there but you were too weak-willed to do anything." Hela coldly said.

Alexander butted in, "So Hela, you're saying that you'd have become a good queen? Tell me how did you imagine your people under you?" He asked.

"Prosperous and Happy." She quickly replied.

"Okay, tell me. If someday, 2 people came to you for justice. One accuses the other of stealing food from him. How would you deal with them?" He questioned.

"I would give death punishment to the thief." She proudly replied.

"And what if that farmer stole food because his fields were burnt for some reason and he had 3 children and a wife to feed at home?" He added.

"Punishment for thievery would still be death." She held her ground.

"And what if after you kill the farmer, you find out that the initial accuser was the one who burnt that farmer's fields?"

This one left Hela silent. She couldn't find how to solve this problem. The man was already dead from unfair judgment.

Alexander again caressed her head and said, "My child, being a queen and king isn't just about having the power and authority to do anything. But it's about being righteous to the people who call you their king or queen. If I was in your position. I would have let the farmer defend himself. Then find the truth and punish the accuser. Then also help the farmer with my magic to restore his fields or if that's not the option than giving him a job to earn a living. Remember, Hela. There can be no king, Queen, or Kingdom without its people. If you had done what you said then people would have lived in fear and hated you. Bad people like the accuser would have felt strong, thinking that they can get away with crimes and in the end, your kingdom would become dark and corrupt"

Hela unknowingly didn't reject Alexander's hand on her head. She instead felt like some old wise man was giving her wisdom. She felt so warm hearing his words. And she also learned to not be too quick in judgment sometimes.

Odin kept on nodding.

Then Alexander added while looking at Thor. "If it's about, Thor. He still has too much to learn. And believe me Hela. I can see the future. His lessons are going to be hard. But as of now... Odin should let Ragnarok come rather than let him be the King," he bluntly said.

Hela and Odin also looked at Thor, sobbing at losing drinking match with Rina. His words pierced Odin but he had to agree on that. Hela felt good that someone directly berated Odin.

~Maybe, this Old man isn't as bad as I thought. I'll spare him in our fight.~ she thought. The only reason she was still acting normally was because she had felt magic in her body, which would try to squeeze her heart if she came close to breaking her promise.
