Chapter 59: Harvest Princess and Mount Ida Palace

Cassandra and Polyxena are the daughters of Queen Hecuba, and Astyoke is the daughter of Priam's concubine.

Loin asked Priam to exchange Cassandra and Polyxena for Astyoke, her husband and son, but Priam refused without hesitation.

"Great Achilles, I can redeem Telephus' family with a lot of wealth and twelve beautiful maids, but I can't sacrifice my two daughters to trade with you."

"How stupid!"

Hearing Priam's words, Loin frowned and said dissatisfiedly.

"After I break Troyen, Cassandra and Polyxena will become my spoils. You can redeem Telephus' family as long as you advance the time when Cassandra and Polyxena belong to me. It's really stupid to refuse this deal."

Cassandra walked to Priam and begged.

"Dear father, please exchange me for sister Astyoke and her husband and son! Although I have the ability to predict, no one will listen to my predictions, so I am a useless woman to Troy. If I can save my three relatives, I will be very happy."

In the hall, there was a prince from another city-state, Otrimenius, who was Cassandra's suitor.

Seeing that Cassandra wanted to sacrifice herself, Otrimenius immediately stood up and said.

"Dear King Priam! My city-state is willing to form an alliance with Troy because you allow me to pursue your daughter Cassandra. If you give Cassandra to Achilles now, I will no longer be an ally of you Troy."

Cassandra volunteered to sacrifice herself, and Priam's heart was a little shaken.

At this time, hearing Otrimenius's threat, Priam said to his daughter with a serious face.

"Cassandra, you are not only my daughter, but also a priest of the royal family, so I will never sacrifice you."

As a priest of the goddess, Cassandra is a symbol of the Trojan royal family holding both royal power and divine power, and Cassandra's suitor is Otrimenus, who will become the king in the future.

Cassandra's own value exceeds that of Telephus' family. It is obviously a stupid decision to exchange Cassandra for Telephus' family.

"Father, please exchange me for your daughter, son-in-law and grandson!"

Polyxena, who is only fifteen years old now, walked to Priam and begged.

"I don't have the ability to predict like sister Cassandra, and I don't have any suitors, and I also want to serve Achilles, who is as great as a god."

Although Astyoke is the daughter of a concubine's wife, she is also Priam's biological daughter.

If Priam chooses not to save Astyoke, Telephus and Eurypylus, the Trojan alliance he established through marriage will immediately fall apart.

Looking at Polyxena with a guilty and loving look, Priam said to Luo Yin.

"Achilles, I can only meet half of your request and trade with you my daughter Polyxena."

"Then use something else to replace Cassandra."

Luo Yin said with a faint smile.

"I heard that when Paris married Oenone, the daughter of the river god, you built a palace for Paris on Mount Ida. As a substitute for Cassandra, I ask you to give me the palace on Mount Ida."

After the war between the Greek coalition and Trojan City broke out, Paris must abandon the palace on Mount Ida and live in the city.

Hearing Luo Yin's request, Priam nodded without hesitation.

"Not only the palace of Mount Ida, I will also give you the maids in the palace. After all, Polyxena is a Trojan princess and it is impossible for her to serve you as a maid."

The two sides reached a deal, and Luo Yin turned to Telephus and said.

"Terephus! Now you are free, thank your father-in-law and sister-in-law!"

Telephus said nothing, and walked towards Priam with his wife and son in a dejected manner.

Luo Yin released Telephus' family, and Polyxena also walked towards Luo Yin with firm steps.

When the youngest Trojan princess came to Luo Yin, Luo Yin stretched out his left hand and touched Polyxena's beautiful and delicate cheek and said.

"We meet again, and you really belong to me."

"Huh?"

Polyxena stared with doubtful eyes, obviously not understanding what Luo Yin meant.

After all, it was the first time she met Luo Yin.

Palamedes, Odysseus and Menelaos returned empty-handed as peace envoys, but Loyin exchanged Telephus' family for the young and beautiful Trojan Princess Polyxena.

After the meeting, Troyin elder Antenor expressed his willingness to protect the peace envoys from leaving Troyin safely, but Loyin refused directly.

"Now that night has come, Elder Antenor will definitely arrange for us to stay in his house. Since we have to stay in Troyin, I would rather stay in Polyxena's palace."

Hearing Loyin's words, Odysseus and Menelaos were worried that Loyin would get involved with the Trojans, but Palamedes said confidently.

"Achilles did not fall in love with the beautiful Polyxena at first sight, so your worries are unnecessary."

After Palamedes left with Odysseus and Menelaos, Hector came to Loyin and said.

"Achilles! Although we are destined to be enemies, before the war breaks out, we can become friends temporarily. If you are not worried that we will poison you, you can enjoy the dinner with us next."

"No matter how stupid you are, you should know that I am not a demigod like Hercules. My divine body cannot be killed by poisoning, so I want to attend the dinner to taste Troyin's delicacies."

Luo Yin finished speaking with a smile, then he put his arm around Polyxena's slim waist and led her to the area in the hall where the Trojan royal family gathered.

Night falls.

After the light of bonfires and torches illuminated the palace hall, the royal family and nobles in the hall tasted fine wine and enjoyed various delicacies prepared by the maids.

When Luo Yin rested on Polyxena's knees and enjoyed her feeding, Priam came to sit next to Luo Yin and said.

"Achilles! A secret marriage without the witness of humans and gods is an invalid marriage, and the engagement of unmarried men and women can be terminated at any time. If you are willing to marry Polyxena, I can even give away part of my territory. Give it to you, help you build a city and become the king of the city-state in Asia Minor."

Hearing her father's words, Polyxena blushed with shame and served Luo Yin more attentively.

"Do you think I fell in love with the beauty of Polyxena and Cassandra, so I asked you for them?"

Luo Yin played with Polyxena's long black hair with his right hand and said.

"I ask you for Cassandra and Polyxena, and I also ask you for the palace on Mount Ada, just to enjoy the royal quality of life in this war, not to become your son-in-law."
