Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 103 Helen and Clytemnestra

After Luo Yin walked out of the palace hall, Clytemnestra immediately came to Luo Yin and asked.

"Dear fiancé, what did my father tell you? Is he discussing with you the time for our wedding-"

Before Clytemnestra could finish her words, Luo Yin interrupted her.

"Your father is breaking off our engagement."

Clytemnestra immediately opened her eyes in shock.

In the past, her fiancé was a weak coward, and Tyndareus never thought of breaking off the engagement.

Now Luo Yin has become a young hero who saves Helen alone, but his father wants to terminate their engagement——

After recovering from the shock, Clytemnestra glanced at Helen with complicated eyes, then looked at Luo Yin with a firm face and said.

"Dear Tantalus, I am not the heir to the throne chosen by my father. I am willing to return to the city of Tiryns with you. From now on, you will be the king of Tiryns and I will be your queen."

"Are you going to elope with me?"

Seeing Clytemnestra nodding without hesitation, Luo Yin smiled helplessly.

"Although I am very grateful for your kindness, I cannot selfishly let you betray your family and the city of Sparta for me. Your unmarried daughter belongs to your father, so let us follow your father's wishes and terminate the engagement!"

"Tantarus, are you abandoning me?"

Seeing Clytemnestra's eyes full of tears and looking like she might cry at any time, Luo Yin immediately felt soft and couldn't help but hold her in his arms and said.

"I just don't want you to betray your family and the city of Sparta. Can't you understand my painstaking efforts?"

"I...I can understand you! This is my father's fault, and I can't blame you. I will beg my father to keep our engagement, and please don't abandon me."

In this ancient era, both human girls and goddesses were proud to be loyal wives.

In the story of Odysseus and Aeneas, the eternally youthful and beautiful goddess, in an era when the average human lifespan is only thirty years old, is like a self-degenerate prostitute who is far older than thirty years old, and has neither a noble status nor a noble bloodline. , and the old man who already has a wife is nothing more than the derogation and humiliation of the declining goddess by humans hundreds of years later.

Hera, who would never betray her husband no matter how much he cheated on her - that was the true image of a human girl and goddess in this era.

Alcestis, the wife of King Admetus of Fry, relied on the image of "loyal wife" to leave a strong color in the myth, which shows that this era attaches great importance to loyalty.

Although Luo Yin and Clytemnestra were only an unmarried couple, Tyndareus did not have enough reasons to terminate the engagement without Luo Yin betraying his fiancée.

As a loyal fiancée, Clytemnestra did not hesitate to elope to defend her engagement.

Luo Yin and Clytemnestra hugged for a while, and Helen standing next to them said dissatisfiedly.

"Tantaros! Since you and your sister have been annulled by your father, how can you hold your sister like this! Do you want my sister to be unable to marry and have to marry you alone?"

"Helen, don't talk nonsense."

Clytemnestra hurriedly separated from Luo Yin and said to Helen with a blushing face.

"You are still young, so you don't understand our situation. My father has no reason to terminate my engagement with Tantalus. My future husband must be Tantalus. Unless-"

"Unless what?"

After Helen's curious inquiry, Clytemnestra looked at Luo Yin with worried eyes and said.

"Unless Tantalus changes his mind and doesn't want me to be his wife."

Luo Yin immediately changed the subject with a guilty conscience.

"Now that I have safely returned you two sisters to the palace, I am going to punish Theseus and let everyone know that coveting you has serious consequences."

"You are no longer my sister's fiancé, and I am no longer your fiancée's sister. Why are you still fighting against the powerful Theseus for me?"

Before Helen could finish her words, Luo Yin showed her a doting smile and said.

"Even if you are no longer my fiancée and my fiancée's lovely sister, you are still my important people. Regardless of whether they are humans or gods, anyone who hurts you must pay the price."

"Dear Tantalus..."

Clytemnestra was moved by Luo Yin's words and her eyes were full of obsession, Helen said with a puffy face.

"Why do you seem to have changed into a different person? You always use such sweet words to seduce girls' hearts."

"I'm not saying sweet words to you, this is what I really think. Even if you don't believe it, it doesn't matter. Now I'm going to find Theseus and his friend Pirithous."

After saying that, Luo Yin walked around Clytemnestra and Helen and walked outside the palace.

"Tantaros——"

Clytemnestra wanted to keep Luo Yin, but Helen stopped her and said.

"Now that he's no longer a coward, don't stop a hero from doing what he's supposed to do."

Clytemnestra was stunned for a moment, then looked at Luo Yin's back with a complex expression and murmured.

"As a good wife, should I believe in your strength and support your heroic behavior? Since you are going to do what you should do, I will also do what I should do."

After saying this, Clytemnestra turned and entered the hall.

Tyndareus on the throne saw the two daughters walking into the hall one after another. He looked at Clytemnestra with a calm face and asked.

"Tantaros is gone?"

"As my fiancé, he has now gone to avenge his fiancée's sister."

Clytemnestra took great courage and spoke to Tyndareus.

"Father! No matter what your purpose is, I hope you will keep my engagement with Tantalus. If Tantalus is really a great hero like brother Polydeuces and brother Castor, even if we rule in the future Tiryns City, we will also help Helen and her future husband, and we will not let anyone take away the throne that belongs to Helen.”

Clytemnestra's words obviously hinted to Tyndareus that she and Luo Yin would not threaten Helen's throne.

Tyndareus said with a sigh.

"Just like Atreus competed with his brother Thyestes for the throne of Mycenae, Tantalus will compete with his cousin Agamemnon for the throne of Mycenae in the future. I I want to terminate your engagement for the sake of your happiness."

"If the goddess of fate does not favor Tantalus, I am willing to bear the bad luck with my husband. If my father is unwilling to change your mind, I will be Tantalus's wife even if I don't get his blessing."

After saying that, Clytemnestra turned around and left the hall.

Apparently, she was completely disappointed in her father who favored her sister Helen.

"elder sister……"

Helen glanced at Clytemnestra, and then looked at Tyndareus on the throne.

Tyndareus shook his head at Helen.

He did not explain to Helen that there is no limit to human ambition.

After the powerful Luo Yin marries Clytemnestra, he will inevitably use Clytemnestra's identity to seize the throne of Sparta.
