Chapter 101 Terios Asks Two Sisters to Marry

Defeating the Mycenaeans in the war was undoubtedly an unprecedented victory for the Athenian tribe.

At this time, in the vast open space of the Acropolis, more than 800 Athenian soldiers were sitting on the ground. The injured soldiers were given special care by the maids of Pandion's family, and the uninjured soldiers were drinking the wine distributed to them.

In the open space next to it, the servants of the Pandion family set up a dozen bronze tripods to cook oatmeal mixed with mutton and beef for the soldiers.

The generous Pandion rewarded these Athenian soldiers by having his servants slaughter twelve cows and twelve sheep.

The stone hall of the Pandion house.

Roy and Terios sat down with the Pandion family around a stone table.

After the young and beautiful maid brought fruit, wine and white bread, Pandion said enthusiastically to Tereus.

"Dear Terios, let me once again thank you for bringing soldiers to our Athenian aid. If your city of Elis is attacked in the future, we Athenians will try our best to help you."

Hearing Pandion's words, Tereus showed a faint smile.

This is the real purpose of his assistance to the Athenians.

The strength of the Mycenaeans is too strong. If the Mycenaeans invade the Elis region, even if the city of Elis of Tereus and the city of Olympia of Oenomanos unite, they will not be able to defeat the Mycenaeans.

Only by forming an alliance with the powerful forces around the Argos region to fight against the Mycenaeans can it be possible to defeat the Mycenaeans.

The purpose of Terius should have been like this.

After seeing Procne and Philomela, Tereus changed his mind.

After toasting with Pandion, Tereus looked at Pandion and Zeuxiper and said.

"Pandion Chief! Lady Zeuxiper! Although I am over 20 years old, my first wife passed away not long ago. Now I want to become a true ally with the city of Athens, and you are willing to marry my daughter to Me, let the beautiful and noble Princess Procne be my queen?"

In fact, Tereus' first wife was still alive.

But after Tereus saw Procne and Philomela, the first wife was already a dead person in Tereus' heart.

Perhaps Tereus returned to the city of Elis, and the first wife would become a dead person in a real sense.

Tereus suddenly proposed to Procne, and Procne immediately looked at Roy with panicked eyes.

Even if he couldn't see Procne's face hidden by the veil, Roy knew that her face must be full of fear.

Before the Pandion couple could respond, Roy turned to Tereus and said coldly.

"Tereos! I'm afraid I will disappoint you. Procne and I have declared our love to each other, so Procne cannot marry you, because she will become my wife."

After Roy finished speaking, Pandion and Zeuxiper, who were not shocked by Tereus' proposal, immediately looked at Roy with wide eyes in shock.

In this era, a girl's marriage was decided entirely by her father, and when her father died, it was decided by her brothers.

Roy and Procne confess to each other——

This is clearly against tradition.

After glaring at Roy angrily, Pandion questioned Procne.

"My dear daughter, you really fell in love with Roy and confessed to him?"

Procne bowed his head like a child who made a mistake.

"Father! Mother! Brother Roy and I love each other, I hope you can marry me to brother Roy."

Although Procne violated the tradition, Pandion is a daughter slave who loves his daughter after all.

He couldn't bear to hurt Procne, so he stared at Roy with fierce eyes and said.

"Roy! You really love Procne and want her to be your wife?"

"Procne can only marry me!"

Roy looked at Pandion with firm eyes and said.

"If you don't agree with me marrying Procne, no matter who you want to marry Procne to, I will kill my rival."

"Brother Roy..."

Hearing Roy's declaration, Procne looked at Roy very moved.

"Humph!"

Pandion snorted coldly, and neither said that he would agree to the marriage between Roy and Procne, nor did he say that he would prevent Roy and Procne from getting married.

Because at this moment, Roy could be used to reject Tereus' marriage proposal.

Although Tereus is the king of Elis, which meets Pandion's requirements for a son-in-law, and Procne can become queen if he marries Tereos, the city of Elis is too far away.

And Tereos never said a word to Procne. Tereus proposed to Procne either because he used Procne as a marriage tool for alliance, or because he liked Procne's youth and beauty. Not really in love with Procne.

"Dear Terius, I am so sorry."

Pandion said with a face of shame.

"My daughter is so shameless, how can she be your wife."

I don't mind!
It doesn't matter if she knows shame or not, and what I value is not her character, but her youth and beauty.

Tereos could only say these words in his heart.

On the surface, Tereus could only forcefully smile and say.

"Since Princess Procne already has an object of love, of course I can no longer ask Princess Procne to marry me. In order to form an alliance between us, now I ask you to marry Princess Philomela to me."

After failing to propose to Procne, he actually proposed to Philomela——

Tereus' operation made Pandion, Zeuxiper, and Erechtheus frown at the same time.

Like a frightened little rabbit, Philomela looked at Procne for help.

"elder sister……"

Zuksippo said dissatisfied.

"King Tereus, my daughter Philomela is only fifteen years old now."

"Then let me get engaged to Princess Philomela first, and I will marry Princess Philomela next year."

Tereus said with a smile on his face.

"If Princess Philomela marries me, she will be the queen of Elis. I will respect and love her and make her the happiest wife in the world."

Seeing that Pandion did not reject Tereus' marriage proposal immediately, but showed a serious expression of thought, Roy couldn't help but said.

"Tereos, Philomela cannot marry you, because she is also my wife."

Roy's words were like shocking, not only other people, but also Philomela himself.

When did I become Roy's brother's woman?

Philomela blinked her beautiful big eyes, and looked at Roy suspiciously.

Procne looked at Roy with eyes that were about to cry, and couldn't believe that Roy was not satisfied with himself, and actually shot his sister.

Pandion recovered from the shock, and immediately said angrily.

"Loy, are you crazy? Do you want all my daughters to marry you and make one of my daughters your concubine?"

Erechtheus stood up angrily and said.

"You are so greedy, my sister will never be happy marrying you. Now I don't allow Procne to marry you, nor Philomela to marry you. As their elder brother, I will never let My sister was hurt by you."
