Chapter 116 Fiancé Equals Husband
In the modern world 600 years later, men and women can get married on the first day and get divorced on the second day, not to mention engagement.

Because the marriage relationship has become so fragile and quick marriages and divorces have become commonplace, people don't take engagement seriously.

But in this era, the wife is regarded as the husband's private property, and the husband has the right to kill the cheating wife, so it is very prudent to conclude a marriage.

As soon as parents marry their daughter to her husband, the daughter no longer belongs to her parents but to her husband, and there is no option for divorce.

Therefore, when the parents betroth their daughters to their fiancés after careful consideration, the marriage relationship has been established.

The fiancé is actually the husband.

According to ancient legends, in order to marry his cousin, King Menelaus of Sparta, and Helen's daughter Hermione, Orestes, the son of Agamemnon, had to kill Hermione. Ermione's fiancé, Achilles' son, Neoptolemus, is because a fiancé is equivalent to a husband.

Even if Orestes negotiated directly with King Menelaus of Sparta, Menelaus could not marry his daughter Hermione to Orestes.

In this era, if it is a commoner class, as long as the woman's parents agree to betroth her daughter, the man can directly take the woman home to establish a marriage relationship.

There is no need for an engagement and marriage process at all.

Engagement and marriage - this is a necessary process that only the royal family and nobles will pay attention to.

Commoners do not need to be engaged and married, because commoners usually can only have one woman, even if there is no engagement and marriage, his only woman will be the undoubted legal wife.

There will be many women in the royal family and nobles, so the significance of engagement and marriage is to establish a woman's identity.

When a man holds a wedding banquet, the purpose is to let the guests witness that the woman who holds the wedding ceremony with the man will become the first wife.

If there is no wedding, the woman will be regarded as a man's concubine or even a lover.

Just because the meaning of holding a wedding is to establish a woman's identity, so in ancient legends, Prince Paris of Troy abducted Queen Helen of Sparta. main wife.

As a result, Ononie couldn't bear the humiliation of being deprived of her official wife's status, so she left Paris and returned to the mountain hut where the two got married to live alone.

Because engagement is equivalent to marriage, and the wedding is only to establish the woman's status as the official wife, so Roy can now exercise her husband's power over Procne.

The price is that the father-in-law Pandion and the mother-in-law Mrs. Zeuxiper will change from not being in a hurry to marry their daughter to becoming a real possibility that they will hold a wedding for Roy and Procne tomorrow, and under the witness of many guests, it will be established that Procne is Roy Yi's wife.

If Roy only had Procne as a fiancée, Roy would not mind exercising her husband's power and letting Procne serve him.

But Roy has another fiancée, Harmonia. If Roy holds a wedding with Procne without Harmonia's knowledge, making Procne his official wife——

Roy couldn't imagine how angry Harmonia would be.

After all, Procne became the official wife, which meant that Harmonia could only be Roy's concubine wife.

Seeing Procne's shy and cute look, and thinking of Harmonia's reaction, Roy said seriously.

"Procne! I won't mess with you until we're married."

Then, Roy said with a embarrassed expression.

"Procne! Philomela! Can you two go out first, I'm going to get dressed now."

Procne nodded, but Philomela mischievously grabbed the thin quilt covered by Roy and said.

"Let me and my sister have a look and there will be no loss of meat. Why did you drive me and my sister out? Aren't you afraid that my sister and I will be frozen?"

It is already February, and the temperature in Athens has become colder than January.

And it's still morning when the sun rises.

Seeing Philomela trying to pull off the thin quilt on her body, Roy hurriedly grabbed the thin quilt.

"Don't pull the quilt, Philomela."

"Why don't you let me pull, is there something hidden in the quilt?"

Just as Roy and Philomela pulled the thin quilt, there was a sudden sneeze.

"Ah-"

It was the sound of a girl sneezing.

Procne and Philomela looked at each other. Neither of them sneezed just now, and the sound just now seemed to come from under the thin quilt.

Procne and Philomela looked at Roy suspiciously. Seeing that they could no longer hide it, Roy pulled down the thin quilt, exposing the small head of Chione lying beside her.

The bright light shone on her face, and Kione opened her sleepy eyes, showing a bright and sweet smile to Procne and Philomela.

Procne and Philomela stared wide-eyed, their bodies froze as if petrified.

The two recovered from their shock, Philomela said in a trembling voice.

"Sister! Before you married Brother Luo Yi, he cheated first."

Procne said calmly.

"Phiromela, Chione will be Roy's brother's concubine. We have known this for a long time. Father also has many women. He also accepted Danae from Roy's brother yesterday. Of course I will not ask Roy My brother only has me as a woman."

Hearing Procne's words, Kaone said with a smile.

"Princess Philomela, I have absolutely no ambition to compete with Princess Procne for the status of wife. And I haven't dedicated my body to Roy yet, so I won't give birth to a child earlier than your sister."

Hearing Kaone's words, Procne showed a faint smile.

As a tolerant woman, she doesn't mind the fact that Roy has a rival in love who is not a threat to her.

Seeing that the Shura field he was worried about did not appear, Roy couldn't help laughing.

"I'm so glad to see you guys getting along. I'll take the three of you out to hang out after we've finished breakfast."

After speaking, Roy planned to put on clothes in front of them.

Philomela groaned in embarrassment, and said while turning her back to Roy.

"Brother Luoy, I'm not your fiancee, how can you let me see your body!"

"Didn't you girl just want to pull my quilt?"

Roy said jokingly.

"Now I want to put on clothes and you dare not look at them."

"Wow ah ah ah ah - if you talk about me like that again, I will turn around and look at you."

Listening to Philomela's impotent rage, Roy, Procne, and Keone couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that Roy wanted to dress himself, Procne snatched the clothes from Roy's hand and said.

"Brother Roy, let me help you get dressed!"

Although this was originally Kayone's job, Kayone tactfully gave this job to Procne.

After the four of them frolic and finished their breakfast, Roy took the three girls out of the stone house and stood at the temple square overlooking the scene of the Acropolis Mountain.

"Now my father-in-law is taking Erechtheus to attack the Lavrio tribe, and my mother-in-law will also manage Athens instead of my father-in-law. I will try my best to satisfy you whatever you want to play today."
