Chapter 62 The Position of the Legal Wife Is Really Important

Palace on Mount Ida.

Luo Yin, Polyxena and Chryseins stood outside the palace gate, watching Oenone walk alone towards the mountain hut, Luo Yin couldn't help but say.

"King Priam of Troy has fifty sons and twelve daughters, including legitimate sons and daughters, illegitimate sons and daughters. Queen Hecuba certainly couldn't give birth to sixty-two children alone, so in addition to Queen Hecuba, Priam also had several concubines. With Priam as a precedent, why was Oenone so angry about Paris betraying their love and marriage?"

"Maybe it's because... Oenone knew that Helen would take her place as the wife."

Chryseins thought for a while and said.

"Oenone is just an ordinary daughter of the river god! Helen is not only the daughter of the god king Zeus, but also a Spartan princess with the right to inherit the Spartan throne. After Paris marries Helen, as long as he can defeat the current Spartan king Menelaos, he can become the new Spartan king as Helen's husband and dominate the southern Peloponnese. Compared with Helen, Oenone can't give Paris anything, and Helen will inevitably replace Oenone's position as the first wife."

The position of the first wife can of course be changed.

Just like Hecuba was not Priam's first wife, but she could bring more benefits to Priam, so after Hecuba married Priam, she directly replaced Priam's original first wife and became the queen.

"You girls' thoughts are really hard to understand. Is the position of the first wife so important?"

Hearing Luo Yin's words, Polyxena withdrew her gaze from Oenone and looked at Luo Yin and said.

"Achilles! If you marry Cassandra as your wife, I am willing to be your concubine and will not compete with you for your favor."

"Then you two sisters have a really good relationship, but unfortunately I don't intend to be your love captive."

At this time, nephew Mengstios had brought 500 soldiers to the foot of Mount Ida, and Luo Yin said as he walked to the foot of the mountain.

"Mengstios, take your soldiers to cut down the trees on Mount Ida and build barracks around my palace! There are cattle sheds and sheep pens in my palace. Remember to kill cattle and sheep when it's time to eat so that the soldiers can eat better."

"Achilles! Those are the cattle and sheep my father gave to my brother Paris."

Polyxena's dissatisfied voice came from behind, and Luo Yin smiled without looking back.

"The cattle and sheep in this palace are the dowry your father gave me, so the cattle and sheep now belong to me."

After that, Luo Yin walked down Mount Ida and walked towards the sea alone.

Looking at Luo Yin's figure going away, Polyxena muttered dissatisfiedly.

"You don't want to marry me, but you want to accept my dowry..."

"Princess Polyxena, please don't have any inappropriate thoughts about Achilles."

Chryseins kindly reminded.

"Achilles offended the great long-range god Apollo, and he will soon be punished by the gods."

A coast far away from the Greek coalition camp.

Luo Yin stood on the frozen sea water, looking at the Aegean Sea in front of him and called.

"Thetis!"

Luo Yin's call drifted away, and Thetis' figure soon appeared on the sea, walking towards Luo Yin barefoot on the frozen sea water.

The blue-haired and blue-eyed goddess of the sea came to Luo Yin, looking at Luo Yin with a sad expression and said.

"My son, what do you need my help with?"

Hearing Thetis's address to him, Luo Yin almost slipped and fell on the ice.

"Thetis, you actually think of me as your son?"

"Among humans and gods, who doesn't know that Achilles is the son of the sea goddess Thetis?"

Thetis looked at Luo Yin with some doubts and said.

"Child, you have been very abnormal recently. Not only did you provoke Artemis, but you also offended Apollo, and you even called me by my mother's name. In order to prevent you from being hurt by other gods, I am trying to negotiate with Artemis and Apollo to let them put down their hatred for you."

"Do you think I am Achilles?"

Seeing that Thetis did not regard himself as Circe's brother, Luo Yin couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"It seems that you responded to my prayer in the port of Oris because you regarded me as your son Achilles. I called you here to thank you for your help, not to make a new request to you."

"My child, you don't need to thank your mother. The cruel goddess of fate has arranged a short fate for you. Before your life ends, even if you make a willful request, I will try my best to satisfy you."

"Willful request-do you think I am a willful child?"

Luo Yin looked at Thetis dissatisfiedly.

"Since you don't need my thanks, you can go back now. I won't ask for your help again in the future."

Hearing Luo Yin's words, Thetis smiled helplessly and turned around to return to the sea.

When Luo Yin was about to turn around and leave, Thetis suddenly stopped.

"Achilles, there seems to be something strange about you."

After speaking, Thetis immediately turned around and walked in front of Luo Yin, looking at Luo Yin and said.

"The clothes you are wearing are divine clothes woven by the goddess with gold thread. I can't tell which goddess wove your top, but your shorts have my divine power, and you also have my blessing on your body - this is the highest level of blessing that can only be offered with the goddess' kiss. But I don't remember that I have woven this dress for you, let alone - I have ever offered you a lover's blessing."

While speaking, Thetis stretched out her right hand and touched Luo Yin's cheek.

Although Luo Yin instinctively wanted to avoid it, it was obviously not in line with Achilles' identity, so Luo Yin could only stand there.

The moment Thetis's right hand touched Luo Yin's cheek, she suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and said with a surprised and happy expression.

"It turned out to be you - why didn't I think of it when I saw you?"

After speaking, Thetis threw herself into Luo Yin's arms and hugged Luo Yin's waist tightly with both hands.

"Uh..."

Luo Yin raised his hands a little at a loss, and looked down at Thetis in his arms.

"Thetis, do you remember my identity?"

"I didn't recognize you immediately, do you want to punish me, dear!"

"No need to punish! Do you remember the first time we met after the Trojan War?"

Hearing Luo Yin's words, Thetis raised her head in confusion and said.

"Dear, your words are so strange! The Trojan War hasn't really started yet, how can I know the first time we met after the Trojan War?"

"You don't know what happened after the Trojan War?"

"Except for the goddess of time, no god can know what will happen in the future."

"What happened after the Trojan War is a future that has not happened to you..."

Luo Yin frowned and said.

"You don't remember the things we experienced together, so who do you think I am now-do you know the relationship between me and Circe?"
