Three days later, on the Argo...
“It seems this hasn’t ended after all, has it?” Promise murmured as he stood on the empty deck of the Argo, unable to hold back his thoughts.
“What are you talking about, Promise?”
Hercules raised his head and looked at the young, who was standing on the deck with some confusion and couldn't help but ask.
The latter shook his head and smiled at Hercules, reassuring him that it was nothing.
Atalanta, who had just retur...

Lista Night’s intentions were laid bare: he was here to defeat them, no negotiations, no compromises.
The Senate’s attempts to pull him to their side were futile—he had no interest in anything but reform.
How could such a man be so impervious to influence?
Finally, the Senate realized who the true fools were.
As Night delivered his final notice and left the chamber, they all wore expressions of anguish.
“Circulate this document and make sure every ...

On the island of Lemnos,
Tonight, the glow of flames lit up the entire island.
Everyone who came to the island joined the grand feast...of course, everyone except for Helen.
At this moment, the woman, who would become the most beautiful woman in the world in the future, sat on the stone steps of the temple of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty, resting her cheek on her hand, gazing up at the stars and the full moon in the sky.
Her captivating violet eyes, which could mak...

“I suppose, if I’m not mistaken, you must be the revered goddess Aphrodite, correct?” Promise asked.
Night had fallen, and the silver moonlight danced on the ocean’s surface.
A silvery comet shot across the sky, landing on the beach near the anchored Argo.
Sensing something unusual, Promise naturally left the ship and walked over to the shore, where he saw the most beautiful goddess, Aphrodite, sitting on a rock by the sea.
Beside her, was Pegasus, who wa...

Returning to the main point, it’s worth noting that—
Thanks to the open voting system, Tiberius eventually succeeded in becoming the new tribune.
Even though the Senate was vehemently opposed, the reality of the election results couldn’t be altered.
There was no opportunity for them to manipulate the outcome.
If they wanted to stop Tiberius through legal channels, the Roman Senate could only hope that he would fail in the next tribune election.

Knock, knock—
In the vast corridor, resembling a labyrinth and illuminated by bright fluorescent lights, Sasaki stood, raising his hand to knock on the door.
He didn’t wait for a response, nor did he expect one from the person inside.
After knocking, he grasped the doorknob and pushed the door open.
Perhaps to accommodate the emotions of the patients Sasaki had sent, Fujitsuba Mei had arranged for all of them to stay in private rooms.
The most notable ...

His words were calm, but they reached the ears of every hero present, resonated deeply with them, especially with Theseus and Actaeon, who felt the weight of his message.
Even so, Jason and the others got off the ship.
Even Orpheus, though he had a wife, couldn’t resist the temptation.
Of course, he only wanted to explore the island after all, with his wife present, any other woman didn't matter to him.
Not to mention he was quite afraid of what she would do if...

A sense of panic spread through Strabo Pompey’s mind.
They’ve gone mad!
The citizens of Rome have gone mad along with that lunatic Tiberius.
The Senate will never stand idly by after what happened today.
They will never allow Tiberius to succeed.
If the senators had known about Tiberius's mad ideas earlier, they would never have allowed him to enter politics in the first place.
But—
Wait!
Strabo Pompey suddenly remembered that th...

Several days later...
The heroes arrived on Lemnos island.
Promise was not unfamiliar with the story of this island.
After all, this place was the first destination in the fated journey of the Argonauts, and it symbolized desire.
Lemnos was an island in the Aegean Sea, and according to some versions of the myth, its women, known as the Lemnian women, had angered the goddess Aphrodite by neglecting to worship her p...

And now, as the bloody truth was exposed before them, what choice would they make?
In the central square, Night stood among the crowd, observing every expression on their faces.

This was the temple of Hephaestus, one of the twelve gods of the Olympus.
How long had it been since she’d last returned...
The goddess of beauty, Aphrodite, gazed at the temple, the wind gently blowing through her waist-length, crimson-red hair.
'It had been so long since that incident. I hadn’t seen her since.'

Strabo, who thought he had figured everything out was infuriated by Tiberius’ treacherous intentions.
However—
From beginning to end, Tiberius had never even considered him.
He simply continued, "Perhaps in the short term, you all think this is a good thing.
But no one has stopped to considered that if this is how we choose our officials, who will be elected if they don’t have money?
After spending a fortune just to win an election, where will they re...

And this is just one of the many changes that have occurred in Rome.
In the end, I realized our Roman people have fallen into decline—"
With those words, asudden uproar erupted from the crowd.
No one expected Tiberius to suddenly launch into a broadside attack, bluntly declaring that all Romans had degenerated.

The winged horse returned to Jason’s homeland, the kingdom of Iolcos, bringing Promise and Atalanta back to the gathering place of the heroes...
“Huh, Theseus?”
When he came back, Promise was surprised to see Theseus tied up with ropes, hanging upside down from a tree. “How did you get back so fast… Could it be that you broke our agreement?”
It hadn’t even been a month since the incident with Theseus, and Promise couldn’t underst...

Walking beside her, Sasaki noticed her strange behavior and spoke up in concern.
He gently brushed aside her silky bangs, placing his palm on her forehead with a worried expression:
“Are you feeling unwell? Should I take you to the hospital with me?”

Jealousy, frustration, and envy filled their voices as they complained

Of course, Night only provided the data.
The exact phrasing still required Tiberius’ oratory skills.
A good speech needs talent, the ability to stir emotions, to truly move the people.
Simply reading data off a script would bore everyone to sleep, but change the delivery, and people suddenly become much more alert.
It’s like those sensational news headlines you might see in the future—never failing to grab attention.
For instance, a woman gets three ri...

Strabo Pompey raised his voice as he reached the heart of his speech, his tone filled with indignation. “Romans, you’ve heard of Spain and the war that continues to plague us. You’ve seen the fires of rebellion in Sicily.
But what do all these troubles share in common? I’ll tell you—Carthage.”
He let the name hang in the air, thick with disdain.
“The Carthaginians, though defeated, still haunt us. It is their legacy, their influence that festers in these region...

No, in fact, they aren't the same at all.
The God of Death and deities are entirely different concepts.

And here Strabo was, struggling to pay even ten talents.
If he couldn’t come up with that sum, it would be an open admission that he valued his own life far less th...

How utterly infuriating—!
This was beyond unfair.
While the Law of the Twelve Tables was usually disregarded by the nobles, Strabo still had enough sense to keep his wits about him.
After all, he was standing in the middle of the Forum, running for the office of tribune!
As a candidate, could he openly mock Night’s invocation of the Law of the Twelve Tables in front of so many commoners?
