Others stared openly, unable to help themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo noticed it all but said nothing. Hades didn’t react either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They walked in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a shout rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather! Grandfather!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A blue blur rushed toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivi skidded to a stop in front of Hades, staring up at him with wide eyes. \"You are Grandfather, right?

Come on!

The training grounds. The library. Which elder was scary and which one secretly gave snacks to children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hades listened quietly, occasionally nodding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that, a week passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neo and Hades still hadn’t had a proper conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth’s POV\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth explained everything to Amelia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t hide anything. Not about her origin. Not about the Witch of Pride. Not about Amelia’s mother or the truth surrounding her existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke calmly, carefully, making sure Amelia understood every part.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time she finished, Amelia was sobbing into her arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry. I’m sorry for hiding the truth about your mother,\" Elizabeth said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" Amelia said between sobs. \"She’s not my mother. You are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia clutched her tighter. \"You’re the one who stayed. You’re the one who protected me. You’re my mother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similar exchanges repeated throughout the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia cried, then calmed down, then cried again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her emotions were fragile, stretched thin after losing too many people she cared about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike Neo, Amelia didn’t have the same willpower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t just keep moving forward after loss and pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had cracked under the weight of it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after her friends were saved by Neo, her condition hadn’t truly improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A seed of hope had been planted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with Elizabeth’s arrival, that seed was finally blooming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia began talking about the future again. About things she wanted to do. About places she wanted to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time in a long while, she genuinely believed that nothing bad would happen anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth knew she would have to stay for several more months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amelia still needed care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Elizabeth also had others she needed to meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she left Amelia’s room that day, she was immediately intercepted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My daughter-in-law is finally free. Come spend some time with me,\" Persephone said cheerfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Elizabeth could protest, Persephone locked arms with her and began pulling her along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even someone as composed as Elizabeth felt embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Persephone treated her like a child, called her daughter-in-law openly, and showed no restraint at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth didn’t show it on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she felt happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for her other daughter-in-law, Elizabeth hadn’t met her yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had spent months preparing herself mentally. And today was the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry,\" Elizabeth said gently, stopping their walk. \"But I have something I need to do today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Persephone tilted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Cute,’ the thought popped in Elizabeth’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want to meet the fragment of the Witch of Gluttony.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh,\" Persephone said brightly. \"Then let’s go together!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth was pulled along in a different direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Persephone’s enthusiasm, Elizabeth couldn’t help but ask, \"Aren’t you worried?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I trust my daughter-in-law,\" Persephone replied without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They arrived at a quiet room and knocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened, revealing a maid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, Morrigan was sitting by the window, drinking tea and reading a book.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up, and stiffened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh... c-come in,\" Morrigan said quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was visibly flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reaction was almost identical to Neo’s when he was caught off guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that similarity made something twist in Elizabeth’s chest, but she kept her expression neutral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid was soon dismissed, and the three of them sat around the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morrigan moved to serve tea, her movements a little too careful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She kept glancing at Elizabeth when she thought no one noticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Persephone laughed lightly, took the teapot from her hands, and poured tea for everyone herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sit,\" Persephone said gently. \"Relax.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Morrigan obeyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth remained silent, her gaze fixed on Morrigan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air grew tense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Persephone chuckled and tapped Elizabeth’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A wave of refreshing power flowed through Elizabeth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The anger simmering inside her eased, just slightly, enough to keep it under control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth took a slow breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did she realize Persephone had deliberately helped her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Thank you,\" she said quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t mind it,\" Persephone replied, smiling as if it were nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elizabeth turned her gaze toward Morrigan.\u003C\u002Fp>",1292,"2026-05-30T08:01:17.152Z","2026-06-01T04:30:42.950Z",1,"novelbin.me","9c6928e123849b00e1a6efe407dd90767d62a6966cb481ce8b938991b561290a","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-816","extra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-chapter-814",839,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fextra-s-death-i-am-the-son-of-hades-cover.jpg"]
