The Greece Antagonist

Deserving of the praise showered by my aunt, having him around is more useful than a whole entourage of nymphs!

The Goddess of the Hunt glanced at Luo En, who was patiently preparing lunch beside her, mentally rating the guide highly as she tossed aside a clean sheep bone and reached for another leg of the gazelle.

Not to mention anything else, just in terms of culinary skills alone, he's far beyond what those nymph servants can manage.

Unfortunately, those sea nymphs, delicate and precious, might still cope with maintaining weapons or surrounding prey begrudgingly.

To ask them to lower themselves to kindling fires and cooking isn't out of the question either.

But Artemis's verdict on the meals was—edible.

If you're seeking a comfortable dining experience, that's something you'd best not hold your breath for.

Only after enjoying the guide's craftsmanship and brewing skills did she realize how her taste buds had been wronged by the previously charred or undercooked roasted meats, the tasteless plain water, and dry bread that parched the throat.

Moreover, apart from his cooking, the guide's performance in other areas was also noteworthy.

From the maintenance of weapons to the scheduling of daily activities, everything was organized to perfection.

No wonder even King Minos, who had extremely high standards, planned to choose him as his successor.

I must admit, having such an almost omnipotent lackey by my side, my esteem for those whining, pampered nymph servants fades more each day.

Unfortunately, in about a month, I'll have to return to Olympus.

When that time comes, not only will this quality service but also that excellent Golden Hound be left behind.

Thinking of this, Artemis felt suddenly downcast.

However, a spark of inspiration quickly ignited a brilliant idea in her mind.

"I'm still missing a worthy attendant by my side..."

The Goddess of the Hunt dropped another clean sheep bone, seemingly casually making her offer.

As a virgin Goddess who abides by chastity, it was the first time she had extended such an invitation to a male human.

However, the guide, busy turning the lamb meat over the fire, merely replied with a nonchalant "Hmm," apparently not grasping the implication of her words.

Seeing this, Artemis decided to drop pretense, cleared her throat, and made her point clear.

"I think you're quite suitable."

"The meat's ready, eat it while it's hot."

"Oh..."

As another leg of lamb was handed over to her, the Goddess of the Hunt instinctively took it and bit into it.

But quickly, she realized something wasn't right and immediately pulled the lamb leg from her mouth, frowning at the guide beside her.

"What does that mean? You don't want to?"

What else could it mean?

Luo En couldn't help but scoff inwardly.

Dear sister, Athena offered me a place as a Lesser Deity with generous gifts of her Divinity, crafting bronze serpent armor;

King Minos, wanting me to resist lightning, not only offered three of his Divine Artifacts but was also willing to throw in his daughter and the throne;

As for your aunt Lady Hestia, well, let's not even mention her, as I could easily trick her inside and out, her deity position will sooner or later be mine;

Now, offering me just a divine attendant's position to serve as your nanny, and hoping to snag a hound as well—isn't that a bit stingy?

However, despite feeling contempt inside, Luo En still declined the proposal in a more polite manner.

"Lady Athena's task is not yet complete, King Minos's kindness remains unrewarded, and Lady Hestia has also been good to me, so..."

With those three bearing the blame, the initially fierce-looking Artemis was suddenly deflated, reluctantly putting out the idea of recruitment.

No way around it, to snatch someone from the clutches of these three was indeed a bit challenging.

I was just acting on a whim. If it's not possible, then so be it!

The thwarted Goddess of the Hunt scoffed in disdain, feeling irritable as she picked up a sheepskin water bag and stood up.

"Clean this up, I'll go get some water from up ahead!"

Saying this, Artemis stood up with a stern face and walked towards the creek in the valley ahead.

Watching the Goddess who seemed to be in a bit of a huff, Luo En found it somewhat amusing and was all the more grateful for his initial choice.

Indeed, Hestia is the easiest to fool and to satisfy.

Is it just because of the good cooking skills?

Is it just attending to everything meticulously?

Is it just owning a great dog?

What's so impressive about that? I have twenty servants!

The rebuffed Artemis grumbled to herself, consoling her pride as she made her way upstream, preparing to bend down to fill her water bag in the stream.

As she leaned over, a reflection appeared on the surface of the water, catching the Goddess's eyes.

Is that someone?!

Artemis instinctively looked up, towards the other side of the creek.

Suddenly, a handsome and cheerful face came into view, spawning a strong desire in the Goddess's heart.

—This might be a most beautiful deity that should not have existed since the beginning of chaos. His blond hair, his bright eyes, are the finest among all deities, and before him, both gods and humans must bow...

"Beautiful Goddess, seeing you hunting alone in the mountains, your valiant figure has deeply subdued me. Please allow me to become your attendant and serve you."

The deep entreaty that filled her ears made it unconsciously compelling to comply.

Just as Artemis was about to speak, an image flashed through her mind, a touch of reluctance flickering briefly in her eyes.

"An attendant, I... I already have one..."
