Chapter Seventeen

After rejecting Aphrodite's request of joining the Trojans side.

The goddess of love left you but not before promising to destroy the Greeks for stealing you away from her. 

No matter how much you tried to convince her that nobody stole you from her, Aphrodite just didn't listen.  

After managing to take over the island, Diomedes, the king of Argos, requested to speak to you privately.

"How may I help you, Diomedes?" You ask with a smile.

Diomedes looks at you coldly before answering.

"Why are you helping us, the Greeks?"

"Because I want to help the Greeks"

"Even if it's against your husband, Apollo?"

"Apollo is no longer my husband, and even if I'm helping the achaeans for personal reasons it's none of your concern" you reply.

Diomedes narrows his eyes, a hint of uncertainty in them, but he eventually nods.

"Very well, however, you seem to be hiding something"

You smile tilting your head before pushing the king of Argos against a tree.

"I know that you are Athena's favorite intelligent boy, but if you think you-"

Diomedes suddenly kisses you on the lips reversing your positions, with you against the tree.

He pulls away, and smirks down at you.

Athena is going to be angry at you, but you honestly think it's a win win for you.

But Artemis is a better kisser.

"This kiss shall be my blessing in war" 

"Maybe or maybe it could be a curse."

With those sweet words tainted with threat  being said, you leave.

Diomides being single, has decided to take you as a wife no matter what it takes.

All he needs is a good plan to seduce you into marrying him.

Poor guy, doesn't know about Apollo's infatuation with you.

---

Cassandra needs your help.

How could you forget about Cassandra?!

Poor woman is probably suffering from Apollo's curse.

The ball that Hephaestus has given you is what reminded you about Cassandra.

You transport to her location in Troy only to see her laying in her bed, staring up at the ceiling.

But when she feels your appearance, she quickly sits up in bed in fright. 

"There is no need to be afraid, Cassandra, it's me (Y/n), and I have came to break your curse"

The Trojan princess gets out of her bed before rushing towards you with tears in her eyes.

She hugs you tightly, burying her face into your embrace.

You couldn't help but hug her back, feeling guilty for not helping her sooner. 

"I never thought you would come to my rescue" she says meekly. 

"And what made you think that?"

"Because Apollo told me that you hate me and think of me as an untrue follower"

Your eyes widens in shock after she blurted out the words, with tears falling down her face.

"Oh dear, Apollo always speaks nonsense" you say pulling away from her.

"Now, let me break your curse"

After breaking Cassandra's curse easily, but you still have to make sure it was actually broken.

"Cassandra tell me a prophecy about myself" you encourage her.

"You and Apollo are going to have a child together but in a different way"

Ok, the curse did break because you believe each of her word.

"Oh he better not use my DNA in some messed up stuff"

Cassandra smiles brightly realizing that you actually believe her.

"Thank you for breaking the curse, mama" she exclaims before hugging you again.

"Mama?" You repeat in confusion.

"Everyone in Troy considers you the mother of the nation" she explains.

"Everyone except for Paris, apparently he seems to be into incest"
