After the short yet long affair with the goddess Lethe had come to an end, I stumbled slightly as I moved back to the wedding venue with her.
"My stomach still hurts a bit."
"Ahem..."
We returned to the venue as quickly as we could.
No gods had likely noticed...
"Where have you two been in such a hurry?"
"Huh...? St... Styx?"
As we cautiously entered, holding hands, the goddess Styx scrutinized us with narrowed eyes.
She crossed her arms, looking at us as if she had just caught Zeus in an affair.
"What were you two doing? You look like you just did something!"
"Ah, well..."
"I smell something too. Something a bit... risqué..."
She stepped closer, burying her face in my chest and sniffing.
In that moment, I understood why Zeus was so afraid of Hera.
It felt as if I had committed an affair.
"... Um. I think I should go now."
"What? No, wait a moment."
"Anyway, I have something urgent to attend to...!"
I discreetly signaled Lethe, who quickly understood and made her exit.
However, I found myself in a more difficult situation.
"Speak quickly, Hades. Don’t even think about lying in front of the goddess of oaths."
