Age of Adventure 189 THE JUDGMENT OF FARIS

As the Gods flew away from the island the man in his question is peacefully living in Veva.

Faris was at his usual place that he always goes when evening came.

He is at a large hill behind his mansion, as he lay on the swaying grass, whistling a tune, as the wind blows gently over his hair, and caressing his cheek with no care in the world.

Every day he would come here since he no longer has to involve himself with the political matters of the Kingdom since Zeus handle everything.

He did not lose everything in the aftermath of the fall of his royal family. As he lost himself in the pleasant breeze of the wind, he was startled as he could feel the air around him changes

He got up and look around him as he felt all around him turn colder. He saw mist rising up out of nowhere as it shrouded the hills and turns this entire hills into an area full of mist that it is even hard for him to look five feet ahead of him.

It is thick and Faris is almost seized with fear. Then suddenly from the mist emerged three beautiful women each naked but one.

On the sky the cloud turn dark and thunder boomed. A lightning bolt strikes him but it did not char him instead Faris had instruction seared into his mind.

He suddenly knew who these three woman is and why they came to him. The lofty Gods of Olympus.

As he marvels at this matter, from the sky, a golden apple that shined brightly fell in front of him. He took the Golden Apple and look at the three woman in front of him.

'Zeus meant me to judge who is the fairest among this three?' he thought to himself

Hermes who came a little bit later come before Faris and then he urged the young prince to inspect the Goddesses.

"Your Majesty Hera" Hermes said as he kneels in her presence. The Goddess then speaks towards Faris

She is appealing to Faris to choose her.

"If you chose me mortal, I will make you as King of the Vevaian and I will help your endeavor, for I am mighty and capable of many things" she said her words shake the hillFind authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Hera is indeed the most beautiful of the Goddesses, not Aphrodite. Eris was not joking when she said Hera was the most beautiful out of all the Goddesses.

Else, why would Zeus chases her for thousands of years?

However, Hera was the goddess of the marital order and of cuckolded wives, amongst other things.

She had fidelity and chastity in mind and was careful to be modest when Faris was inspecting her. And she is the only one that is clothed among the other two.

Faris heard Hera offer but he is not interested at all. But he did not show it on his face.

He doesn't want to be King. That is why he sits in this hill everyday watching the sunset, Faris mused

He finished inspecting Hera and then he turned to Athena.

Athena then said to Faris "If you chose me, I, Athena, The Goddess of Wisdom, will offer you wisdom and skill in war, may you never be defeated in the battlefield"

Faris heard this and like the offer Hera give to him, it is not appealing to him at all.

War. He hated blood and he hated war and bloodshed. Why should he involve himself in the affairs of war when he could live peacefully like this?

And then Faris turned to Aphrodite.

He could hear beautiful song when he came near the Goddess of Love.

Aphrodite, though not as objectively beautiful as Hera, was the goddess of sexuality and was effortlessly more sexual and charming before him.

And he is hooked. And then he heard her offer

"I offer you the most beautiful woman in the world as your wife" she said smiling.

Faris hearing the Goddess of Love offer is stirred

A wife? That is the only thing he doesn't have yet. And the most beautiful woman in the world? How beautiful she must be? Faris wondered.

"Make your choice mortal" Hermes declared as he looks coldly at Faris. Faris look at the Three Goddesses and then after pondering he finally made his decision.

After thinking of the offer finally he chose Aphrodite not knowing what he sets in motion.

In the dimension where the Three Fates resided, one of them laughed, one of them cries and one of smiles bitterly as each one of them took a new needle and yarns a new thread.

Aphrodite was smiling a smug smile at the other two Goddess like saying she knew all along that she would win. Faris gives the Golden Apple to her.

Hera is fuming at the mortal decision.

Athena is raged and want to strike down at the mortal but they already make an oath in front of Zeus that they will not harm the boy whatever his decision might be.

"Humph! You will regret the decision you make, mortal." Athena said before she suddenly clads in her armor again.

She looks militaristic and valiant and with the spear on her hand she looks like she is ready to jump into battle.

Then she flew and disappeared into tiny dots of light in almost an instant

Hera on the other hand looked at the mortal with disgust and she too flew away in blinding light.

Only Aphrodite stays. She then tells Faris that he will meet the girl someday for Fate and Destiny will push them to be together.

The Goddess said

"Wait for my whispers. You will know what to do when the time came"

Faris nodded and then with a smile the Goddess also flew away.

In the Underworld, sitting on his throne of darkness, hades laughed. Eris who is looking at the development of this matter smiles malevolently and then she dances in her garden stepping on the Golden Apple in her gardens as she dances.

'Let them reap what they deserve. I always enjoy tearing the arrogant and the prideful'
