Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 69 Telling Helen that Paris has a real wife

Troy City.

Luoyin and the Trojan princess Polyxena rode on the god Maxanthus, and they came to the palace unimpeded.

The palace hall where the Trojan royal family and nobles held meetings.

When Luoyin and Polyxena came here, they saw that the princes, princesses and husbands of the Trojan royal family were all attending the meeting.

After Polyxena walked to the corner where the princesses gathered, Aeneas, one of Priam's ten sons-in-law, greeted Luo Yin.

"Husband of Polyxena, you should come to us."

Aeneas was one of the members of the royal family who traveled to Greece with Paris.

Because he only returned to Troy last night, Aeneas did not know Luo Yin, let alone know that Luo Yin was the enemy of Troy.

He saw Luo Yin and Polyxena riding a horse into the hall, and mistakenly thought that Luo Yin was Polyxena's husband.

Seeing that Aeneas regarded Luo Yin as one of his own, King Telephus of Mysia said with an ugly expression.

"Aeneas, he is not the husband of Polyxena. He is the enemy of Troy, Achilles, one of the princes of the Greek coalition who came to attack Troy. I and my After my family became prisoners of Achilles, King Priam asked Princess Polyxena to become the prisoners of Achilles in our place in order to save me.”

Aeneas said with wide eyes and a shocked expression.

"Since he is our enemy, how dare he come to our palace alone?"

"Because he possesses the immortal body given to him by the ocean goddess Thetis, we attack him together, and our weapons cannot cause harm to his body."

Luo Yin did not pay attention to Aeneas and Telephus.

After entering the hall, Luo Yin kept observing the most beautiful prince among the Troyin royal family - Prince Paris of Troyin.

When Paris was young, he was blessed by Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty. When he grew up, he had the beauty and charm like a god.

Because of Paris's beauty and charm, when he was still a humble shepherd, Oenone, the daughter of the river god, fell in love with him and became his wife.

It was also because of Paris's beauty and charm that Helen was willing to give up her throne as Queen of Sparta and elope with Paris even if she knew that Paris could not inherit the throne and become King of Troy.

Of course, Paris is not incompetent because of his beauty and charm, he also has an eloquent and wise mind.

At this time, Paris gathered with a group of Trojan princes, trying to persuade these princes to support him.

After Luo Yin leaned against a stone pillar in the hall, Cassandra, wearing a blue gauze skirt and a gold belt, came to Luo Yin and said.

"I saw your fight with Apollo last night."

Seeing Cassandra's licking dog Etrymeneus staring at him angrily, Luo Yin said with a joking smile.

"When I came to the hall just now, some people thought I was Polyxena's husband. Even if others didn't think of me as Polyxena's husband, they probably thought of me as Polyxena's man. As Polyxena's sister, you take the initiative to approach your sister's man, which makes your licking dog Etrymeneus feel uncomfortable. "

"If you are willing to withdraw from this war, I can be your woman with Polyxena, and I will not ask to be your wife."

"Even if you and Polyxena were combined, you two sisters are not worthy of letting me withdraw from this war."

As soon as Luoyin finished speaking, King Priam of Troy walked up to his throne and spoke loudly.

"The royal family and nobles present! I have called you together to discuss with you a matter that affects the fate of everyone in Troy. My son Paris, who should have been killed by wild beasts at birth, has returned and brought Helen, Queen of Sparta. Now I want to discuss with you, should we return Helen to Menelaus and let Paris receive the punishment he deserves?"

Paris returned to Troy last night and gave the wealth he brought from Sparta and Helen's beautiful maid to many princes to gain their support.

Upon hearing Priam's words to return Helen to Menelaus, a prince who fell in love with Helen's beautiful maid immediately said.

"Dear father! We return Helen to the Greeks and let Paris be punished. Will the Greeks give up this war and return to their hometown with Helen?"

After Priam fell silent, another prince stood up and spoke.

"We all know that if the Greeks really just wanted to take back Helen, they would have no need to attack us with a hundred thousand troops. The real purpose of the Greek coalition is to compete with our city of Troy for the hegemony of the Aegean Sea. Even if we will Helen was returned to them and Paris was punished, and the Greek coalition would not stop the war. Their goal was to conquer Troy and all the city-states along the peninsula of Asia Minor."

Seeing everyone else nodding in agreement, Cassandra said anxiously.

"We return Helen. Although we cannot stop this war, it can make the Greek coalition lose the legitimate reason to attack us. The war initiated by the Greek coalition turns into an unjust war, and our hope of victory in Troy will increase."

Priam couldn't help but say after hearing Cassandra's words.

"When Heracles brought his friends and three hundred soldiers to attack the city of Troy, although they launched an unjust war, they still got the favor of the goddess of fate."

"Father……"

Realizing that her father Priam, who appeared neutral on the surface, was actually a militant, Cassandra couldn't help but feel despair in her heart.

Seeing the pained expression on Cassandra's face, Priam immediately looked away from his daughter.

At this time, he could not explain to Cassandra that the idea of ​​​​avoiding war by showing weakness to the enemy would not bring peace, but would only bring more fierce attacks from the enemy.

After all the Trojan princes expressed their opinions, Hector came to Paris, looked at him seriously and said.

"Paris! No matter what reason you have, kidnapping another person's wife is a crime that should be despised. Now let me ask you, are you really in love with Helen?"

If he said he didn't love Helen, Hector would definitely ask him to return Helen to Menelaus——

Seeing what his brother Hector was thinking, Paris immediately nodded and said.

"Brother Hector! I love Helen, and I am willing to fight the Greeks on the battlefield for Helen."

As the heroine of this meeting, Helen originally sat with the Trojan princesses.

Upon hearing Paris's answer, Helen immediately came to Paris and spoke to Hector with tears in her eyes.

"Although I was snatched away by Paris not willingly, I have sincerely fallen in love with Paris now. And we have held a grand wedding on Kelana Island, becoming a couple witnessed by humans and gods. Now Paris is mine Husband, I beg you not to separate me from Paris."

Seeing the shaken expression on Hector's face, who was not sure whether he was moved by Helen's tears or Helen's words, Luo Yin teased with a joking smile.

"Helen, do you know that Paris already has a head wife named Oenone? Although you and Paris held a formal wedding, before Paris abolished Oenone's status as the head wife, you were just Paris' sidekick. , has no right to call herself Paris’ wife.”
