The God of War
I'm the Hades
Zhou still froze after hearing a strand of words from Nouhime. As if now he was very cornered and could not dodge anymore.
"Say something to me, Hades!! Don't just shut up like this! Do you know how much we miss you? Do you know how much your father misses you? And ... And do you know how much I've missed you all this time? I've always denied your death back then, and I still always wish you were still alive and coming back to me ..."
Said Nouhime in an increasingly trembling voice. A pair of beautiful beads that have now also glazed over paint an emotion that is difficult to describe. Emotions of longing, happiness, confusion, anxiety all mix into one.
"Hadess ... please tell me something" he said, growing smoother and more helpless.
Yeap, to stand supporting her own body alone felt so heavy. Nouhime was about to fall but Zhou immediately grabbed his hands and helped him to stand back up.
"Nouhime, forgive me." said Zhou softly and heavily. "I am Hades. But I beg of you to keep all of this a secret from everyone. Especially Zeus. I'm begging you to keep all these secrets. You can keep all these secrets, Noahime?" tanya Zhou stared fixedly at Nouhime, the woman who once filled his heart in the past.
There was a sense of relief when listening to the confession from Zhou. It was as if he had rediscovered half his soul that had once been lost and died a moment ago. Nouhime was silent for a while, looking up and staring fixedly at Zhou face. And slowly rubbed gently the side side of Zhou face.
"So ... This ... is really you?" asked Noahime with a trembling voice.
"Yes. I am Hades, Nouhime." replied Zhou softly and warmly.
Without saying any more words and no hesitation, Nouhime immediately threw his body into Zhou's arms. He hugged Zhou tightly and again sobbed in Zhou's arms. It was all his longing all this time that was so big and increasingly mountainous.
Zhou froze for a moment. There was a feeling of guilt towards Noahime, because he felt that he had betrayed him and instead insulted another woman until Zhou had married a woman who was none other than Lily. They even have a son now.
The game of fate made him forget his love in the past, and suddenly Zhou loved another girl instead when he lost his memory in those days. And now Noahime even had to marry Zeus, his half-brother who is evil and heartless.
Zeus married Noahime for his own sake, to be crowned emperor in Fumio. Because Zeus didn't really love Noahime.
Seeing the fate of Noahime's life like this made Zhou feel even more guilty and heartless especially when he saw the beautiful woman sobbing like this in front of him. However, his relationship with Noahime was fine, and there was never a word of farewell before.
Zhou returned Noahime's embrace despite hesitating. She wrapped her hands around Noahime's body and gently rubbed his back hoping to give him a bit of strength and make Noahime calmer.
"I'm sorry to you, Nouhime. Because I never came back and saw you back then. It was because I was badly injured at the time. And the story is very long. One day I'll tell you everything. But not now." said Zhou lirih.
"My current message to you is, always be careful of Zeus. Never let your guard down and eat whatever he gives you." he added, further slowing down his voice and starting to take off his arms.
"What's wrong? Why can't I eat whatever food Zeus gave me?" tanya Nouhime looked up at the puzzled Zhou.
"Because he was the one who hurt me at the time. And I don't want him to harm you, too, Nouhime."
Hearing Zhou's confession, Nouhime's pair of eyes were perfectly rounded and he began to cover his gaping mouth with his two clasped fingers. It was a shock and disbelief that Zeus would be so evil and would do such a bad thing to Zhou.
"I've dealt with the problem. You don't have to worry." said Zhou warmly.
"Then ... when are you coming back, Hades? You'll be back soon, won't you?"
"I'll be back at the right time." said Zhou flatly, but actually his face was so shady and made Noahime feel calmer.
Nouhime hugged Zhou again, as if he did not want to spend a second away from Zhou. Knowing all these facts made Noahime again have a hope for Zhou, even he forgot himself who has now become an empress of the Fumio empire because he married Zeus.
"I'm really sorry for making you experience such a hard life, Nouhime. I hope you can live better and get your happiness someday" Zhou said sincerely.
"I just want you! I'm not happy with Zeus, Hades! She ... She's been scaring me all this time. She doesn't really love me, Hades! And .. I was forced to do all this because I had no other choice at the time. If I had known you were alive, I wouldn't have accepted any of this. Because the Fumio empire will still remain strong when it is with you." said Nouhime hugging Zhou tighter.
"Nouhime, I .." said Zhou cut off as he suddenly heard something from the bushes that were actually a little further away from them. But it was only felt by Zhou.
KRASNIK ...
Zhou turned to the bushes and realized that someone was behind the bushes. And Zhou knew that man was one of Nobuhide's soldiers. So Zhou decided to just ignore it.
"The day is getting cold and dark. Come back and rest, Noahime. Tomorrow morning we will continue our journey towards the Fumio region."
"But .. I just want to be with you, Hades."
"Nouhime, you are currently an empress in the Fumio empire. Wife of the emperor Zeus. If you join me at this time, this will trigger the Fumio and Nobuhide region wars. I don't want that to happen. So for now, go back first. I'll take care of some things. Until I have finished everything, I will return." Zhou said back, but Zhku further lowered his voice out of concern if anyone was still trying to listen to him.
"You need not fear Zeus. I've sent someone to always look after you. But one thing I ask you. Please keep this from anyone! Can you do it, Nouhime?" this time Zhou let go of Noahime's embrace and stared fixedly at him.
With a heavy heart, Noahime nodded slowly. Then the two of them started to return to the tent to rest.
