Heracles was deeply aware of his mistake.
" I'm sorry-" Heracles did not know what else he could say other than sorry. Hurting Ayis was something he had never thought of, but why did his heart ache when it was clearly Ayis who was hurt?
"You hate me from the bottom of your heart, right? So disgusted that you're in such a hurry to push me to someone else. Who do you think you are! Do you want me to belong to whoever you point me to? Have you ever asked me who I like? The one I like…is you! Ayis didn't say it out loud because she felt that it was really unnecessary, and she felt that he should have noticed it. But he still did it, which meant that he didn't like her at all. Although he already had a wife, they had been separated for twenty years. How could it be considered a reason if they had already lost contact? Ayis thought indignantly.
Heracles knew what she was going to say next. In fact, he understood everything. However, he couldn't. He was obsessed with his oath to his wife and his responsibility to her, so he could only pretend to be cold and heartless. However, this unintentional ruthlessness not only hurt Ayis but also made him painfully exhausted. He lowered his head and closed his eyes. The pain in his heart made him feel empty.
" I'm sorry, I'm sorry…" Apologizing was the only thing that could make him feel better, even though it seemed very selfish.
"Let's go! You can't stay here for too long. Can you still walk?”Heracles wanted to pretend to be heartless, but he couldn't help but care about her.
" No, I don't want to go with you. Call Ares over." Ayis stubbornly turned her face to the side and refused to leave.
Ares, who had come to look for the princess, stood behind the pile of sand with a look of shock. In fact, Ares had already been there for a while. He had heard almost everything they said. He wasn't surprised that the princess's crush was Herak. Herak was so outstanding that he was definitely qualified to be his love rival. " Damn it, how dare this Herac reject the princess? What right does he have to make the princess sad like this? Bastard!"”Ares felt sorry for the princess.
When Ares heard the princess calling his name, he wanted to step forward immediately. However, he changed his mind and said," I don't think it's appropriate to go over like this. I have to give the princess some face."”
Ares was always considerate of the princess. He quickly ran back to a pile of sand. Then, she deliberately shouted,"Your Highness, where are you?”
Ayis heard Ares 'voice and her thoughts flashed through her mind. In the darkness, her blue eyes flashed with a cold glint of revenge. "Fine, you want me to be with Ares, right?" Alright, I'll fulfill your wish."
"Ares, I'm here.”Ayis shouted into the darkness.
Ares appeared in front of them from the darkness." Heracles, why didn't you use the secret signal that we had agreed on beforehand when you found the princess? You made me anxious.”Ares complained to Heracles before turning to his supreme princess and said gently and guiltily,"Your Highness, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy because of what I said just now?”Ares decided to pretend he didn't hear that.
"How can that be? It's none of your business! I want to go back and rest, but I'm too tired to walk. Ares, carry me!”Ayis said in a sweet voice, then stretched out her hands. After she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Heracles from the corner of her eyes.
Ares was confused by Ayis 'sudden change in attitude. He couldn't react in time and looked at Ayis in a daze.
"Aiya! Didn't you hear me? Quickly turn around." As he spoke, he stood up and placed his hands on Ares 'shoulders to twist him around.
Ares had no choice but to squat down obediently and assume the posture of carrying her. Ayis glanced at Heracles who was blaming himself and feeling remorseful. Then, she raised her head high and climbed onto Ares 'back.
"I don't believe that you don't have any feelings for me. Just you wait, let me dig out your heart and see if I'm inside. Take this!" Ayis decided to give her love a chance. This time, it was either success or death. Who asked this man who made her dream to be filled with thorns in his heart! She was destined to be stabbed. However, if he was willing to let her enter, she would be willing to sing happily in his heart that was filled with thorns.
Heracles followed behind them, keeping a small distance. Looking at their intimate appearance, he gradually felt as if he had lost something important, and his heart was empty. Only loneliness slowly seeped into his flesh, his bones, and then penetrated his heart. It made him feel empty as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss. His world was all black.
Although he was only a short distance away from them, it made him feel so far away that he couldn't touch it.
The three of them walked one after the other. Before they reached the camp, they could already smell the fragrance of food. This made the three of them feel that they were still in the world. They still had to sacrifice their five internal organs.
When they arrived at the campsite, everyone was already sitting around the campfire, waiting for them to start eating. Fatty clutched his stomach and looked at the pot with a bitter face. He craned his neck and looked into the darkness with anticipation.
Seeing that they were finally back, Fatty jumped up happily."Your Highness, you're finally back. The food can't wait to feed you!”
Ares carefully put Ayis down. Mortila looked at the three of them in confusion and said,"Your Highness, what's wrong? Are you injured? Where did you go?"
"I'm fine. I just felt very bored just now, so I went over there to take a walk. I was too tired to walk, so I asked Ares to carry me back. Sorry for making everyone wait. Let's eat! Fatty, your food can't wait for you to eat them! If they didn't eat it, they would run away in anger!”
Ayis was still able to joke around as if nothing had happened. It was a huge contrast to her hysterical crying earlier. This made Heracles and Ares re-evaluate Ayis 'inner strength.
When everyone heard Ayis's joke, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. They all shyly pushed Fatty.
Heracles held the hot cooked food in his hands, but he couldn't swallow it. His heart felt like it was blocked by a big stone.
Other than Heracles, the rest of the people had a sumptuous meal. Ayis was the kind of person who ate more when she was angry. She was Ares! Very few things could affect his appetite, and he never wasted food.
After eating and drinking, everyone returned to their tents and got into their warm beds. Only then did they truly wash away the hunger, thirst, and fatigue of the past two days and fall asleep.
Only the three people who loved each other to death kept their eyes open. They tossed and turned until the dawn broke through the darkness and slowly pulled across the entire desert. Only then did they close their heavy eyelids. When the morning sun shone on the barren desert, all the people who woke up early packed their luggage and wandered around the princess 'tent with nothing to do, including Heracles. After all, he was a god, and not sleeping had no effect on him.
"Let her sleep!" Heracles said to Mortira, who was peeking into the princess 'tent.
Just wait! Who would have the heart to interrupt the beautiful, gentle, and kind princess's beautiful dream?
