Ch1: Love of the god of the dead

The World of the Dead:

The servant and the trusted butler of the God of the Dead were taking care of the palace affairs. The servant was cleaning the bedroom of the God of the Dead, and the palace butler was sending the servants to the palace kitchen to prepare dinner. The servant went to the butler of the God of the Dead and said: "Lord Hades has gone to the world of humans today as well. I think he will return near morning as usual. Didn't he get tired of going to the world of humans?"

The main butler and the servant of the God of the Dead, "Hades", were very worried about him in these few days because he had become infatuated with a boy from the world of humans. Every day he would go to the world of humans to watch him. While the boy was sleeping, he would stay above him and watch him until near morning, and after the boy started to wake up, he would also return to the world of the dead. It had been a month since Hades' situation had been like this.

A month ago, when Hades was very tired and bored and wanted to rest a little, he went to the world of men as usual, but he did not know that he was about to meet someone who would steal his heart from him. Hades had never been in love before. He could not understand love. At the beginning of his birth, his father Cronus hated him because he did not want to lose his kingdom to his firstborn son. But then, with the birth of his two younger brothers, the god of water, Poseidon, and the god of the sky, Zeus, his father turned all his attention to them. In the lottery to choose the realm of the gods, Hades was sent to the underworld, unlike his two brothers, one who took the realm of the sky and the other the realm of the water, and was forced to stay there forever. He was a recluse and had never learned how to express his feelings because he had never received the love of his father, Cronus, and his mother, Rhea, but now his heart was beating, this feeling was unfamiliar to him. He wanted to keep that boy by his side. He wanted to make that boy his queen, to stay by his side forever.Hades had feelings he couldn't understand, and for a month now he had been going to the human world to see that boy. But he had never shown himself to him.

When Hades returned to the underworld near dawn, his servant, who had raised him since childhood, stood in front of him with his arms crossed and respectfully said to Hades,

"my Lord, dinner is ready. Even if you stay with that boy until dawn, you must still eat your dinner."

"What are we having for dinner tonight, Herman?"

"Your favorite roast chicken,Sir."

"Very well, I'll come to the dinner table after I change my clothes. Tell the servants to set the dinner table."

"Ok,Sir."

*after dinner*

“Your bed is ready, sir. If you want to go see the boy tomorrow, please get some rest.”

“Okay, then I’m going to bed.”

"Actually, I think I should go see Aphrodite tomorrow. There are a few things I want to ask her."

"But you're not allowed to enter the realm of the gods on Olympus,"

"Well, Herman, can you help me to see Aphrodite? I want to ask her about my romantic feelings."

"I'll try, Lord Hades."

Hades was impatiently waiting for the day when he could show himself to his lover. He wanted to bring her to the realm of the dead to make her his queen, but he never wanted to do anything against her wishes because he was a free boy and could not bear to be imprisoned in a place like the realm of the dead, and Hades never wanted to see him unhappy.

Tomorrow, noon:

*Knock on door* “Lord Hades, Lady Aphrodite is here, I tried to bring her to here.”

*Yawning*

I just woke up. Please welcome Lady Aphrodite so I can get ready and come to the reception hall.

After getting ready, Hades went to Aphrodite. The two were talking intensely about Hades' feelings for the boy, so Aphrodite said, "Hades, I think I should help you. I never thought you would fall in love."

"I never thought I would ever have these feelings for someone, but I love that boy so much, Aphrodite, please help me reach him."

"You're going to the human world tomorrow, right?"

"Yes, I'm going."

"Then I should come with you.”

"Why do you have to come?"

"Hades! Well, I guess I'll have to come over there so I can see your lover and think about how you're doing."

"Ok, then we'll meet tomorrow at location xx in the human world."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing that boy, Hades. The one who finally made the cold, icy heart of the god of the dead beat."

"Never mind, Aphrodite! I'm not that cold and emotionless."

*laughs* "Yeah, yeah, you're not being heartless at all. Well, I have to go and attend the gods' feast today. Oh, Hades, aren't you coming to the gods' feast on Olympus in two weeks?"

"Aphrodite, you know I cannot enter the palace of Olympus.”

"But I heard that Emperor Zeus has allowed you to be at this party."

"Zeus? Really? Actually, we had a good relationship, but my father never let us spend time together."

"Anyway, I hope you'll come. I enjoyed talking to you and I'd like to get closer. You're usually a loner and don't have any friends, so if there's a problem with your lover or anything else, you can come to me and share your feelings with me. I'd be happy."

"Thank you very much, Aphrodite, so I'll see you later."

"I'm going, Hades. I'll see you later."
