The Wizard’s Fairy Tale

"Do you know the curse of Cupid?"

"What Eros curse?"

"Well, have you ever heard of Cupid then?"

"You know, the son of Venus, a little Cupid with a bow and arrow, according to rumors, whoever is shot by his Cupid's arrow will fall in love, even the legendary main god Apollo can't Resist this power."

"As a descendant of God, I am amazed by the knowledge you possess, so let me ask you, do you know Cupid's wife?"

Does Cupid have a wife? This question stumped William. In his memory, Cupid, the god of love, has always been a little boy with wings. Does the little boy have a wife? William racked his brains, but he didn't remember who Cupid's wife was?

"Cupid's wife was called Psyche, and she was the younger sister of the three daughters of a great king in ancient times. She was so beautiful in appearance and in spirit that people traveled thousands of miles to admire her beauty, and all this made the God of Beauty Venus is jealous because the world ignores her beauty and even forgets her existence."

"Venus?"

"Yes, you can also call him by another name, Aphrodite, one of the twelve main gods, the god of love and beauty!"

"Go on."

"Any woman is jealous, even a goddess. Venus had a plan. She asked her son Cupid to marry Psyche to the ugliest and most ferocious beast in the world."

"Cupid's arrow of love can make anyone fall in love with the object he chooses for them. The trick is foolproof. For a god, this is no difficulty. Cupid tricked the king and his wife into Pu Cyke was abandoned on a barren hill, where she was to be betrothed to a hideous and ferocious winged serpent."

"Psyche was heartbroken over her unfortunate fate, but could only accept it. For in spite of her beauty, no one had yet fallen in love with her. Venus' trick seems to have been accomplished!"

"But Venus overlooked a detail, the deadliest detail in a love story! When Cupid saw Psyche, he fell in love with her at first sight himself! Not only did he not marry Psyche to the viper, but She secretly brought her to the splendid palace where she lived, and married her as his wife!"

"But because Psyche is a mortal, Cupid can't let her know his true identity and appearance! He just meets Psyche at night and makes her promise never to see his true face! Psyche has been with Cupid ever since. Live a happy life, albeit with a little mystery!"

"So...does this have anything to do with Venus' curse?"

"That's because the story hasn't been told yet.

"

"Later, when Psyche's sisters saw the beautiful palace where their younger sister lived, they became jealous and tried to ruin her life! They poisoned Psyche's brain with words, and tricked her into believing that since her husband had treated her If the identity and appearance are kept secret, there must be something wrong! Obviously, they said, Psyche must be with that vicious winged viper!"

"Love is selfish. Finally, Psyche couldn't stand the uneasiness of not knowing her husband's true identity and appearance. One night after Cupid fell asleep, Psyche carefully lit an oil lamp and came to his bedside, wanting to see his beloved The appearance of her husband! To her shock, she saw not only an ugly viper, but a handsome face beyond any imagination."

"Psyche's hand trembled involuntarily along with her heart, and the lamp oil slipped and severely burned the arm of Cupid in his sleep! Cupid woke up and found that her beloved wife had betrayed his promise to him, and flew away in anger and sadness !Because what Cupid wants is pure love, and no trace of betrayal will be tolerated!"

"Psyche, tortured by the pain of her betrayed promise, burnt and the loss of her beloved husband, vowed to spend her life seeking Cupid to express her love to him! She appealed to the gods for help, but none dared Nas's grudge and revenge! In desperation, Psyche decided to intercede with Venus himself! When Psyche begged Venus for forgiveness, Venus accused and mocked Psyche for being dishonest and mediocre. She says her only hope for forgiveness is to do some of the hard work that is required! The work is obviously impossible, but Psyche hopes that her efforts will bring back her lost love!"

"She used indescribable perseverance to complete the impossible tasks, and finally won Cupid's change of heart. Zeus, the king of the gods, felt that Psyche was a goddess and let him live with Cupid On the sacred Mount Olympus! Later, the two gods even gave birth to a goddess who is in charge of the power of happiness."

"Hmm... well, so what does this story have to do with Cupid's curse?" William asked after pondering for a moment.

"Of course! Do you know who in this story is most hated by Cupid and Psyche?"

"Well, it should be Psyche's two older sisters." William said after a little thought.

"You are as smart as I am! In the unrecorded history, Cupid and Psyche gave Psyche two sisters because they hated the instigation and dissension and made them suffer so much. Cursed!"

"This is a curse from the blood of Cupid!"

"Among the descendants of Psyche's two older sisters, there will be some ugly and beastly boys from time to time."

"They had to prove that they could lose their animal body and become human again unless there was a girl willing to marry them. This is the curse of Venus, which will appear forever and ever among the descendants of Psyche's two sisters. Go on! Until one day, the curse of Venus disappears."

"These gods are really narrow-minded!" William couldn't help commenting, punishing Psyche's two talkative sisters, William felt that it was nothing, but it was a bit too much to hurt future generations.

But the Greek gods had always been this virtue, and William got used to it.

"Of course, this is not only the curse of Eros, but also the blessing of Eros!"

"The child chosen by Cupid will be born with part of the authority of the God of Love, and, as long as he passes the test of the God of Love, he will gain an appearance that is hard to find in the world when he loses his beast body!"

"So, that hedgehog boy Hans who lives in the forest and raises pigs is the descendant of Psyche's two older sisters, who was chosen by the curse of Venus?"

"If nothing else, that's it!"

"Hehehehe... These guys who have been overthrown by the Lord of the Holy Light and fell into the dust of history have so many things to do after they die!"

"Oh, do you think they are really dead?"
