The God of War
Helios
Today Zhou asked permission to return to the village to visit his wife, son and grandfather. Seeing the grieving family of Takeda's soldiers, he recalls his small family.
And of course Zhou missed them all so much. Moreover, Zhou had never met and saw his son who was given the name Helios.
The name was a gift from Zhou, meaning the young Greek Sun God who rode a chariot drawn by four horses across the sky.
Or Helios could be interpreted as the sun, because in the past Zhou once had an acquaintance who did come from ancient Greece. Even the Nobuhide family knew hemlock was because of them.
A long trip was taken with his favorite horse. Because this horse always accompanied him during the war or when Zhou went anywhere.
After a long journey, Zhou began to enter the Nobuhide countryside. As usual, some of the people he passed by would inevitably always pay their respects to him by force.
In fact they felt very embarrassed about having done bad things and greatly underestimated Zhou in the past. And this of course is also experienced by the family of the wife who always underestimate and insult her in the past.
As soon as the wife's family treated Zhou well, they treated Zhou like a favorite son-in-law after Zhou gave them lots of gold coins, jewelry, good food, and fancy clothes for all of them.
"Ah ... Zhou son-in-law is indeed the best! Always affectionate and caring for her extended family." said aunt Lily sparkling while fondling some jewelry that had been given by Zhou.
"Really! You really are a very good and wonderful daughter-in-law!!" said Uncle Lily who started trying out his fancy layer robe which was a gift from Zhou. "My wife, how do I look while wearing this robe? Do I look good in this robe?" he asked his wife so enthusiastically.
Because all this time the couple had always dreamed of wearing luxury goods and eating good food, until finally they felt all that after Zhou came and brought gifts for them all.
"Uncle, aunt. Where's my grandfather, Lily and son? Why don't I see them?" zhou Karema asked not to see where they were.
"Grandfather Hiroki Feng was going to the village of Golden Peaches and White Peaches to do something. While Lily was in the room to put your little son, daughter-in-law, to sleep." said Aunt Lily with a mouth so sweet as if she was licking Zhou.
"alright. I'll meet Lily and Helios first, Auntie, uncle." Zhou said in a low tone and so respectful of the two of them.
Although the two of them had behaved so badly to Zhou, Zhou did not hold a grudge in his heart. He was still so obedient and respectful towards them, even though by this time Zhou had already remembered who he was, a prince and and and a War God who came from the Fumio empire.
"alright. Come them. They miss you so much, Zhou .." said the uncle without seeing Zhou, because they were still engrossed in the lavish gifts Zhou had just given him.
Zhou began to gallantly pitch into his room at the back, near the backyard. His heart was beating even harder, for this was his first meeting with his son who would later become his successor in the highest place.
KRIEETTE ...
As if getting a shooting star, Lily looks so sparkling when she sees the presence of her husband this time. Because Zhou again did not give him any news if he was going back to the village.
"Suami .. you come back ..." said Lily full of twinkle and immediately approached her husband.
"Hhhm ..." Zhou smiled warmly at the wife. "I miss you. And I also want to meet our son."
"Hc. Our son just fell asleep." said Lily still with a sparkling face and turned to look at a baby who was still sound asleep on a bed so simple.
And actually seeing all of this, made Zhou feel sliced. Because it should be a decent place for them to be in the palace. This further made Zhou's determination stronger to regain what should have been his right.
Unknowingly, both fingers clenched because they remembered Zeus and his greed. But all that sense now began to fade because suddenly his little son was back and crying.
This made Lily quite confused. Karema usually Helios will sleep soundly when he feels full. But now his little son suddenly acted like never before.
Lily frantically approached her little son and tried to calm him down. But his little son was still crying and did not stop, even though Lily had tried to cuddle or try to suckle him. Helios is still crying!
This makes Lily feel very worried, if there is an evil spirit who is eyeing her son and intends to harm him. The beautiful woman was still with an agitated heart trying to pet her son to stop his crying immediately.
But in vain, Helios is still scolding and even getting louder. Zhou eventually approached them and took the initiative to carry his son.
Helios's cry died down. The pair of clear and tiny eyes began to stare fixedly at Zhou. Even in just an instant, the cry instantly became a carefree laugh.
Zhou smiled warmly looking at his son who was still in his carriage. Gently Zhou wiped away the tears on the tiny reddish-white cheeks and the stye. His little son laughed even more at that moment.
It was as if Helios was really longing for the figure of a father and the embrace of a father. The pair of clear eyes that did not yet have sin looked so soothing, his little laughter was like a beautiful song, making Zhou's heart and soul calm.
As if the problems and burdens of his life had instantly disappeared after meeting his son who had always missed him.
Lily who saw all that felt so moved. Even a baby who is still a matter of weeks old, aware of the presence of his father and want to be in the arms of the father.
The reunion of this small family is enough to make both days, until finally Zhou began to express his intentions to the wife.
"My wife, come with me to Nobuhide's palace! I can't be far from you and Helios." Zhou said suddenly which left Lily stunned for a while.
