When she moved toward him, Hades didn't react with anger or defense.
He simply set down the document he'd been reading and spoke in an even tone.
"If you're done, you should leave. I'm busy."
Before she could speak again, he snapped his fingers.
The room vanished.
She was standing in an unfamiliar forest.
The anger didn't leave.
It churned inside her, but the tears wouldn't stop either.
She tried to force herself back to Hades' palace, to demand the truth again, but her body wouldn't move.
Her knees gave out.
She hit the ground and stayed there, trembling.
Her physical condition had been deteriorating for a century, but now, with her mental strength collapsing as well, her body felt like it could no longer carry her.
Even then, she clawed at the ground and tried to push herself up.
'He promised me he'd stay with me forever.'
'He definitely reincarnated into the 10th Eon.'
Maybe there had been a problem.
Maybe it was taking longer this time because the Eon had changed.
