Chapter 748 – Day 85 – Minos Is Healthy
“What kind of injection are you talking about?”
Hedone shouted urgently and took out a syringe and held Ceres’ right hand tightly.
“Hedone. If you do this…”
“I haven’t said a single word until now.”
Ceres, realizing that burning red eyes were staring at him, turned his head.
“Even when I found out that Mr. Ceres had been lying to the princess for a long time, even when he expressed a little dissatisfaction and everyone nodded, I never said anything.”
“I know.”
“But I really need to know now.”
Hedone grabbed Ceres’ wrist with all her strength and held it. Ironically, it was pointless. If Ceres, the demon, wanted to, he could easily push Hedone away than take the candy that the baby was holding in his hand.
“This injection is…”
Ceres’ choice was a hesitation. She tried not to run away from her truth and tried to tell Hedone her truth, but she would not let go.
Minos, who was watching the scene with his back straight, suddenly cleared his throat.
“Mom, Ceres’ aunt’s arm must be sore.”
“Don’t say that, Minos. And your mother will say something to you too. Do you understand?”
Hedone was furious and had a lot to say. I just endured it until now.
“This is the injection that Great Mother Ceres will give to Minos. She is the medicine that awakens me.”
“Awakening? What does that mean?”
Minos raises the corner of her mouth and looks at Ceres.
“You can think of Minos’ consciousness as awakening your sleeping consciousness.”
“Sleeping? Minos? Isn’t it okay to at least sleep?”
Hedone doesn’t quite understand this situation. What on earth does sleeping have to do with coughing up blood and turning white?
“Emperor Jupiter tried to turn Minos into a vessel.”
“I heard that story from the princess and I have a vague idea of it. What on earth does that have to do with your physical condition?”
“What the emperor wants is Minos’ womb.”
Ceres spits out her words and bites her lip once.
“All he wants is Minos’ egg and a womb to carry and birth a baby. He has wisdom and knowledge that is just like Hedone’s, and he does not need arms and legs to create the possibility of doing unnecessary activities.”
“What do you mean? Me?”
Hedone is embarrassed and points to herself.
“Your Majesty the Emperor, I am also angry with you, the princess.”
It’s painful to say this to myself, but it’s a stark reality.
“You created me because you needed the best child for the princess, right? My arms and legs are fine, right?”
“The emperor didn’t just want that function from Hedone. On the contrary, that’s really all he wanted from Minos.”
“What on earth do you want from me?”
Hedone shouted. In fact, somewhere in her heart she felt a little relieved when she found out that Minos had been kidnapped as a vessel.
I didn’t kill it, and I didn’t want any of its flesh. If you want to have a baby, you are made for that purpose. So she didn’t understand when the princess said she saw a terrible future for her with Minos.
Emperor Jupiter had already created a good example of himself, so why did he make a different choice?
“That’s… I… Can’t infer it accurately.”
As Ceres hesitates, Minos finally opens her mouth.
“Mother Ceres is right. That’s the only reason.”
When Hedone held Ceres’ hand and shook it to tell her to speak quickly, Ceres really had no choice.
“Hedone… So, I’m sorry. I never think like this. Look at Minos. How beautiful, mature, and wonderful you’ve grown.”
“Mr. Ceres, why are you suddenly changing your tone?”
In the end, Ceres had nowhere to run to.
“It is because Hedone failed.”
“Failed?”
Hedone, whose expression became even more incomprehensible, urgently grabbed Minos’ hand and shook it slightly.
“What do you mean I failed? Huh? I gave birth to Minos! He’s such a pretty and wonderful child! Minos is the best child! He’s as beautiful as the princess, and he can use omnipotent powers!”
“Mom didn’t fail.”
“In the eyes of Emperor Jupiter, the princess is also a failure.”
Ceres swallows his pain and continues his words.
“He is hoping for a perfect successor. He has absolutely no intention of using the last opportunity given to the royal family.”
“So what is that…”
“Even though Hedone is the perfect being to embrace the princess, that’s how she appears in the eyes of the emperor. A warm mother’s heart, a body that can satisfy a male, superior prenatal care, these are ultimately determined from birth. It was nothing compared to the seed.”
After spitting out all her words, Ceres takes Hedone’s hand.
“The emperor, who has obtained a seed that can no longer be the best, intends to receive the fruit from the seed he believes to be the best until satisfactory results are obtained. Therefore, Minos’ arms and legs, and the consciousness necessary for thinking, etc. It’s not necessary.”
Hedone, who heard the whole story, is so embarrassed that she can’t say anything. Then he very quickly grabs Minos’ hand and strokes it.
“Well, there is a way, right? Ceres-san, you also cured me of a fatal illness!”
“Hedone…”
“You brought me back to life, even though the inside of my body was rotten, and I could have died at any time! Minos is okay too, right? Is that so?”
Ceres turns his head. She already knows the answer.
“Mom, of course, is someone who truly loved Minos until the end.”
“Well, don’t say that. Why are you saying that?”
Minos gently embraces Hedone, who is stuttering in embarrassment.
“Minos is healthy, Mom.”
Hedone, who was breathing heavily, eventually sheds the tears she had been holding back. He grabbed his beloved daughter’s waist and pulled her, feeling each other’s warmth for a long time.
Hedone, silently shedding her tears, barely shows her reddened face to her daughter and Ceres, and lets out her breath helplessly.
“Mr. Ceres, if you keep giving that injection, Minos… Will Minos be able to be with you forever?”
Ceres just swallows her saliva and doesn’t give an answer.
“It’s a medicine that awakens consciousness, so there’s no problem, right? Minos? Minos is a child with the power of an old god, so he can do anything, right?”
Minos does not respond to Hedone’s answer. In the end, the answer was something Ceres had to swallow while swallowing his pain.
“Even if the strength of the drug is gradually increased, the human body gradually becomes accustomed to the drug.”
“And somehow, with the power of God…”
“Because Minos must dance and Minos speak to use the power of the gods.”
In other words, if Minos falls asleep, this magical power will not be maintained.
He says he is healthy. Unless he continues to hypnotize himself, Minos’ body will return to its original state.
“Ha, ha… I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Ceres.”
Hedone, having poured out her emotions, painstakingly wipes her face with her right hand.
“First, let me inform the princess of the situation. Then…”
“Mom, Minos only wants to show his lovely side to the wonderful Abamama until the end.”
Minos closes his eyes and says, holding Hedone’s hand tightly.
“Abama always told stories about the people she couldn’t save.”
“Minos…”
“Mana Magica. She was the one with that name, right? She was a really precious and dear friend, but she sometimes told me stories about how she couldn’t save her.”
Minos hopes. To my truly loving dad, to the most wonderful Abama in the world.
“So Minos, I hope my father never experiences such sadness again.”
“Minos, this is not a problem that can be solved by hiding your pain like this.”
“But Minos knows. The bad disease flowing through Minos’ body is not a problem that can be solved with the power of a god.”
Minos smiles.
“Actually, lovely Minos hasn’t even been born yet, right?”
Minos playfully strokes his mother’s lower abdomen and closes his eyes.
“So. Minos is a person who never existed.”
“Well, don’t say that. How much the princess cares for you, how much she loves you.”
“Be sure to convey those feelings to Minos, who will be born in the future. Lovely Minos is okay now.”
Slowly, Minos grasps her mother’s hand and strokes the back of her hand.
“So, Mom, lovely Minos will ask you a favor.”
“Please Minos, let’s talk to the princess. If she is the princess, she will definitely be able to solve the problem.”
“Then you can’t give Dad the best gift Minos could give you? So, Mom, please make a promise to the lovely Minos.”
Minos lifts the back of her mother’s hand and gently places his mouth on the back of her hand.
“I love you, Mom. I really love you. I love you so much. Thank you for giving birth to Minos.”
“Ah, ah…”
“So, I dare to ask you a favor. About Minos. My lovely Minos wants to be remembered by her wonderful father as a child who is beautiful, confident and wonderful until her last moment, and who loves her father so much.”
After hearing her beloved daughter’s request, Hedone nods her head with difficulty, unable to wipe away the tears that flow again.
“Yes, Mom… I also really love Minos. She will do what Minos wants, that is, I love her.”
There was no mother anywhere in the world who would refuse her beloved daughter’s last request.
