Chapter 125 Sadness

'I understand, great king of the gods, I just wonder what is the name of this demigod heir of yours? Where is he now?" '......They mother and son are now on the island of Serifos in the middle of the sea, he is the child of me and the princess of Argos, Danae, the name, if ...... 'Zeus remembered the scene that he had bestowed on Danae's golden rain, a faint smile appeared on his face, 'Let's call it Perseus." Perseus, for the 'golden light" meaning, this to commemorate their own love affair with the earthly princess it. Athena got the order of Zeus, also came to the island of Serifos, she hid her own god body, disguised as an old fisherman on the island, secretly observed Perseus, want to see the son of the king of the gods, in fact, what is special. Princess Danae and Perseus, with the help of Dictys, have since settled on this island. Under her intention to conceal, people do not know Perseus is the bloodline of the king of the gods, and Dictys only Perseus as the god of the sea Poseidon's gift, this kind-hearted man Perseus as his own son as the education, and Athena is only on the sidelines to watch, and did not do too much intervention. In this way, although Perseus has the bloodline of the king of the gods, but in the absence of intentional exercise, he only showed more than the same age of the child is taller and smarter, although outstanding, but will not be overly striking, Perseus's childhood in such a relatively happy and stable state spent. But as the king of kings chosen by Zeus, Perseus's life can not be so calm, finally, in Perseus grew to sixteen years old about to come of age, his life ushered in a major change. Although Dictys was the younger brother of the king of the island of Serifos, his older brother Polydectes and this brother's feelings are really general, he controls the wealth of the entire island, but refused to share with his own brother, but sent him to the island with other poor people living together, by fishing to make a living. But this king of the island of Serifos had heard somewhere that his brother Dictys was harboring a supreme beauty in his home, a woman whose grace was unrivaled and who was capable of turning a person's head with just a look. Born with the best of everything, everything is far more than his own brother Polydectes heart suddenly feel very dissatisfied, if there really is such a beauty, that should also belong to his noble king, his own lowly fisherman brother, and why dominate such a great beauty it? So the king immediately ordered his men to send a message to his brother, saying that he was about to hold a birthday party, and inviting his brother's whole family to attend, with a special note that the whole family must come together. Dictys received his brother's letter at home with some gravity and hesitation. 'What's the matter, Dictys? Why do you look troubled?" Danae, who was weaving, couldn't help but stop her hands when she saw the tightened brow of Dictys and asked worriedly. After so many years, Danae had also long since sobered up from the sweetness of the beginning, that handsome, towering king of the gods, whose sweet words were once nothing more than a cajoling of his youthful and ignorant self at the time. In addition to the sweetness of the first period of time, from the time he was pregnant to give birth to Perseus, to the misfortune of falling to this island, and now more than ten years have passed, Danae has never heard of this king of the gods half a bit of news. He was a god, so if he really wanted to see her, it would not be difficult. Danae realized that she was just a flower plucked from the other side's long life, and she gave up her fantasy and began to live her life honestly with her own children. Dictys is a good man, he is sincere, down-to-earth, stable, kind, Perseus in his teaching over the years, also became a person of outstanding character of the young man, Danae grateful to him for all he has given, the two although not a husband and wife, but also watch over each other, respect each other like a guest. Now seeing that Dictys seemed to be troubled by something, Danae couldn't help but ask out loud. 'My brother, sent a letter asking us to come together as a family to attend his birthday party, he hasn't contacted me for decades, and now that the news has suddenly come, I always feel that something isn't quite right." Dictys didn't hide his concern from Danae either and told her. 'Is it the king of this island?" Dictys had mentioned his background to himself, this brother of his, didn't seem like a good person, 'The king's orders, if you don't go, you'll probably be punished." Danae couldn't help but be flooded with worry as well, the two of them spoke nicely of one being a princess and the other being the king's brother, but in reality, they were both outcasts, no different from commoners, and weren't capable of rebelling against the king of this country. '...... Don't worry Danae, maybe it's just that my brother hasn't seen me in too long and misses me, let's go offer him a blessing and be right back." Speaking of this Dictys paused and glanced at Danae, who after more than ten years had passed, was still beautiful and adding a bit more maturity to her style, and added, 'Just dress plainly, and Polydectes knows my condition, there's no need to pretend." I just hope it's not what I think it is. 'Good." Danae nodded and continued to weave the cloth in her hands. And on the beach of the island, a tall, handsome-looking blonde teenager was dragging a one-meter-long big fish from the sea and stepping onto the land. 'Perseus, you caught another big fish today." The old fisherman stood on the fishing boat, looking at Perseus who was carrying the big fish and said with a smile. 'Haha, Trito, thanks to the techniques you taught me, I feel like my fish catching skills have improved again, come to my house tonight to eat grilled fish!" Perseus laughed aloud, affectionately greeting this old fisherman who had watched him grow up and taught him many fishing techniques. 'Hahaha, good, I will definitely come tonight." The old fisherman named Trito nodded with a smile. 'Be sure to come, then I'll go home before my father and mother worry." With a wave of his hand Perseus headed for home with the big fish in tow. The old fisherman smiled as he watched his distant back, a bright light flashing in his eyes. When Perseus returned home, he heard his adoptive father Dictys and mother Danae talk about the fact that the king of this island had invited his family to attend a birthday party, compared to his mother and father's worries, Perseus showed no concern, over the years, under the occasional teaching of the old fisherman Trito, Perseus' martial arts skills could be said to be unrivaled on this island. Moreover, he has always had a secret that he has not told his parents, since some time ago, he has felt that his body seems to flow a strange power, this power makes him not need to sleep can be 100 times more energetic, strength and speed are far beyond the normal people, even if injured can also be quickly recovered. But Perseus didn't make a sound, he was afraid that his change would cause panic and fear among the people around him, so he had been hiding his strength during the weekdays, but if this king was really planning to do something bad, Perseus was confident that he would be able to protect his adoptive father and mother in one piece. 'Father, you don't have to worry, just go to the banquet with confidence and boldness, I will be responsible for protecting your safety." Perseus said as he calmed down Dictys and Danae. Danae looked at his son, who had grown very tall, and let go of the uneasiness in his heart a little. Yes, without realizing it Perseus has also grown into a man, with that person's bloodline there, he should not sit back and do nothing ...... Early the next morning, Dictys brought Danae and Perseus together to the royal palace in the island of Serifos to attend his brother Polydectes' banquet. On top of the magnificent palace, Polydectes, the king of Serifos, wearing gorgeous purple robes and a golden crown inlaid with deep-sea pearls, was boredly enjoying the dances of the graceful dancers in the hall, and his eyes looked towards the entrance of the hall from time to time, to see if his brother, Dictys, had arrived or not. Suddenly, Polydectes' eyes lit up, he saw his brother walk in from the doorway of the great hall, that poorly dressed, in the crowd of luxurious princes and nobles is so prominent and conspicuous. Soon another young man came out beside Dictys, he was tall and handsome, with an unspeakable noble temperament around him, if he was not also wearing the rough clothes that only paupers would wear, Polydectes would really mistake this for a prince of some country. Is this the adopted son of Dictys? He seems to be a good-looking man.
