Since he missed almost all his classes due to god business, Victor had to give him a history lesson.
According to him, King Minos wasn't just some judge in the Underworld. No, he was once the most feared ruler in Crete—a man who thought himself closer to a god than a king.
"Built the Labyrinth. Imprisoned the Minotaur. Made deals with gods like he could outsmart them," Victor said, almost impressed. "Spoiler: he couldn't."
"And his wife?" Victor scoffed. "Pasiphae. Daughter of the sun god Helios. A sorceress. Some say she was cursed. Others say she cursed herself. Either way, she gave birth to a monster."
He paused, then added, "But you know how it started, right?"
Kael raised a brow.
Victor rolled his eyes. "Minos promised Poseidon he'd sacrifice a sacred bull—white as snow, born from the sea itself. A gift from the god. But when the time came… Minos kept it."
Kael narrowed his eyes slightly. "Why?"
