Chapter 129 A Petty Revenge
Aunt Sabby returned to Hera’s side and relayed the agreement. "We’ve agreed that you can go in, get what you need, and then leave."
Surprised, Hera glanced at Aunt Sabby with wide eyes before turning to the person standing at the entrance. "Don’t worry, she’s just one of my friends who loves to gossip," Aunt Sabby reassured, noticing Hera’s incredulous look.
Hera nodded absentmindedly as she was led inside the chicken coop to collect her items. It didn’t take her long to gather three chicken eggs; the coop was teeming with them, allowing her to blindly grab from the abundance of nests surrounding her. As she moved about, she also noticed a large rooster standing nearby. Recalling that she needed a rooster’s feather, that was on her list of items to collect.
Hera swiftly obtained permission from the one standing guard before setting aside her belongings and sprinting to catch the rooster. But the rooster was anything but cooperative; sensing Hera’s intentions, it aggressively flapped its wings, aiming to slap her, and then proceeded to scratch and peck at her.
They engaged in a brief scuffle before the rooster broke into a frenzied run around the coop. Hera remained resolute, determined to catch the rooster and pluck a few of its feathers in retaliation for its attacks. Refusing to give up, she persisted in her pursuit. However, the scene played out as comical to the viewers, who couldn’t contain their laughter at Hera’s expression, a mixture of frustration and unwavering determination.
It was evident that Hera was determined to get back at the rooster, tirelessly chasing it around the coop. The other roosters, sensing the commotion, flapped around their fences and houses, adding to the cacophony. Despite the noisy chaos, Hera remained relentless in her pursuit until she finally caught hold of one of the rooster’s wings. Her eyes gleamed with a mischievous glint as she grinned triumphantly from ear to ear.
"I’ll make you bald, you naughty rooster," Hera declared with a giggle, relishing the prospect of revenge after the rooster had made her chase it around and deliver a few slaps. Initially, Hera had only intended to pluck a single feather quickly, not wanting to hurt the rooster too much. However, after their scuffle, she felt justified in her petty act of revenge.
Sensing its impending fate, the rooster squirmed in Hera’s grasp, desperate to break free and escape. However, Hera was determined and swiftly plucked two feathers before releasing it. "Hmp! Consider yourself lucky, Mr. Rooster!" she declared triumphantly, holding the feathers aloft before heading back to where Aunt Sabby was watching.
Aunt Sabby thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle, chuckling and teasing Hera whenever she failed to catch the rooster or received a few slaps.
