I am the son of the traveler

Chapter 94

"Who is leading us to victory?"

"It's the great King Antigonus!"

"Who made the despicable barbarians flee in confusion and conquered their territory?"

"It's the great King Antigonus!"

"Yes, it's all because of the great King Antigonus! Let's raise our glasses to this wise and brave young king!"

"Raise your glass!"

……

In the city square outside the Virgina Palace, similar voices can be heard everywhere. After the military parade, the citizens gathered in the wide city square to hold a banquet. Although it was only daytime, many people were already drunk and talking nonsense , walking upside down.

Antigonus, who took off his military uniform and put on ordinary robes, walked with a few guards in the lively square. He looked around and saw the smiling faces of the people everywhere. If people were still worried about the barbarians before the Battle of Acelos They will come back and take away the land they lost, but after the battle, they no longer have this worry. Even the barbarian coalition with more than twice the number cannot defeat their army, so what do they have to worry about?

"Your Majesty, it can be seen that your people love you very much."

Agnes, standing next to Antigonus, said sincerely,
"These loves are based on the premise that I can bring them a good life." Antico saw it clearly, his voice was cold, "There will be one victory after another."

"Your father brought wealth to this country and accumulated a strong national power. Now you are leading the kingdom's army to one victory after another. Both you and the previous king are worthy of the support of the people." Agnes sincerely Said.

Antigonus smiled slightly and said nothing, at this moment, a man with a ruddy face beside them suddenly stood up, staggered, and almost bumped into Antigonus, but the guards around the king quickly held him up The drunk man, the man didn't know that he was about to bump into the terrible person, thanked the guard who helped him up, and then stumbled towards another place.

After the man left, Angnis continued to ask: "Your Majesty, how is the situation with Lord Nicoclides?"

"Nicocleides?" Antigonus froze for a moment, then realized what he was talking about, shook his head, and said, "I haven't seen the plaster statues of those noble girls, but the teacher seems to want to Let me choose Helen, the granddaughter of Teacher Senonides.”

Antigonus and Agnes grew up together, so there were no taboos, and the two chatted like ordinary children.

"Helen? I seem to have some impression of her." Angis touched his chin, and the girl's figure loomed in his mind, and said: "If I remember correctly, she often appeared in the palace where we were taught for a while. She peeked at us outside, but she never came again. I didn’t know her identity at first, but my dad told me later.”

"She was taken back by Teacher Senonides, and she was not allowed to run around." Antico curled his lips and said.

After finishing speaking, he seemed to be afraid that the other party might misunderstand something, so he quickly added: "This is what Teacher Nicolides told me."

After explaining, Antigon regretted it. He always felt that he was trying to cover up something. As the saying goes, an explanation is a cover-up, and a cover-up is the truth. This made him feel bad.

Sure enough, although Angnis did not know this truth, he looked at Antigonus with teasing eyes, but he did not say it due to his identity. He waved to a guard behind him to bring two glasses of wine, and then said: "Although I didn't have any contact with her later, I heard from my father that Helen had been taught by Teacher Senonides since she was a child. She was different from the noble ladies in the city. If you want to choose the queen, I still recommend that you choose her. of."

"Even you said so." Antigonus smiled wryly, and said, "Mr. Nicolides thinks so too."

"Since Mr. Nicoleides thinks so, it is better to choose Helen." Agnes said. At this time, the guard he sent to serve the wine just came back. The two picked up a glass each, and Agnes continued. Said: "And I heard that Helen is also pretty good-looking, not as dark as those ordinary commoner women (Greek skin is generally darker due to climate reasons)."

Hearing this, Antigonus's heart was moved. If he was really good-looking, then he didn't have to hesitate. He would just choose Helen. She is also the granddaughter of Senonides, and if he marries with her, he can also get Senonides. The support of the Des family - their family currently has a close relationship with Senonides because of the teacher-student relationship, and the rest are just simple affiliations.

Seeing the sparkle in Antigonus's eyes, Angnis knew that Antigonus was already a little moved. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, picked up the wine glass in his hand and took a sip.What Antigonus didn't know was that in addition to the teacher-student relationship, Senonides and him also had a distant relative relationship. Although the two families were not closely related, they could still take care of each other if anything happened.

Antigonus didn't know what the captain of the guard next to him was thinking. After hesitating for a while, he decided to put the matter aside and wait until he got back.

At the same time, in the manor of the Senonides family, Siparkos, the kingdom inspector, rarely went to work. He was lying on the armchair, and in front of him was a man about fourteen or fifteen years old with brown wavy hair. A girl with long hair. This girl has fair skin and a handsome face. A pair of big glazed gem-like eyes are carved on her cheeks, flickering from time to time.Although her face is still immature, she is already a beauty in the eyes of others. (forgive me for not being able to describe women very much)
"Helen, has your plaster statue been delivered to the Vigina Palace?" the Inspector leaning on the armchair asked aloud.

"It should be delivered, Father." Helen nodded and replied.

"Hmm..." Sipalkos nodded. In fact, he didn't really want his daughter to be chosen. Although there was no particular reason, he just didn't want it.

Seeing that Siparkos was not in high spirits, Helen couldn't help asking: "Father, what happened?"

"Huh?" Xiparkos was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to normal. He smiled and said, "It's nothing."

"Today is the day when His Majesty the King returns in triumph. Helen, you should know that the high-spirited young man at the triumphal ceremony will most likely be your fiancé."

"I know, father." Helen nodded obediently, and immediately the young king in the triumphant ceremony, who was dressed all over and rode on a white steed, looked as dazzling as a son of god, appeared in her mind.

It was the object of admiration of all the unmarried girls of Pella.
