[Greek mythology] Born to be arrogant

Diana had been enjoying herself of late.

She doesn't need to worry about the bad things in the God Realm. Apollo stays in Delphi every day to study the movement and evolution of celestial bodies, and occasionally sings two sour love songs with her in his arms.Whenever she protested, Apollo would always look at her innocently: "Honey, can I sing well?"

—Are you here to make me laugh, dear.

Diana didn't know whether to cry or laugh, she hooked Apollo's neck and kissed his lips, warning him not to do that again next time.But Apollo promised well the day before yesterday, and yesterday he held a lyre and recited a long poem to her under the palm tree.

Diana: ...

Kneel, kneel, beg some great god to accept this evildoer! Q3Q

It's a pity that Apollo himself is a great god, and he didn't intend to accept him, but he got worse and worse.It is said that His Majesty the Sun God's favorite thing to do recently is to collect all kinds of strange ways of courtship and love from human boys, and then practice them one by one on his own priestess...

Diana's only wish was to kneel and beg His Highness the Sun God not to go crazy again.

She will definitely be his priest well, really, absolutely dedicated to her duties, and will not overstep the threshold!

Q3Q.

It is said that there is a wise saying in the far east, which is called "good days are always so short".

Although I don't know how many years later, some oriental girl with a beautiful temperament and a blue heart proposed it, but Diana thinks it is quite reasonable.

Because the historical trajectory that was originally turned abruptly has turned to where it should go again.

The cause of the matter is this.

Originally, Diana was worried that Helen would cause trouble if she stayed in Sparta, so in the name of the main god, she ordered the king of Sparta to send Helen to the Nemi Lake Temple for "recuperation".Sparta was originally the sanctuary of the Moon Goddess and had always served the Moon Goddess, so the King of Sparta readily agreed to Diana's request.

Helen grew up to 17 years old in the Nemi Lake Temple, and the king of Sparta was also getting old, and then he began to worry about his own affairs.

And the king of Sparta had no sons.

The Greek city-states have a system: If the king has no sons, the princess will be married to a certain hero, and then the entire kingdom will be given to the princess' husband as a dowry.This is how Theseus became king of Athens a hundred years ago.

So the king of Sparta decided that he should choose a wise and great successor for the kingdom of Sparta.

So he ordered to choose a husband for Princess Helen from all over the world.

After careful selection, in the absence of Princess Helen of Sparta and witnessed by the entire Spartan nation, a young hero "married" Helen and became the king of Sparta logically.

When Diana heard the news, she almost twisted her head off and kicked her feet in the sand!

She is so stupid that she thinks that the cause of this war is Princess Helen!

It is recorded in the myth that "the unparalleled beauty of Helen triggered the Trojan War". Was it really because of Helen that this war was triggered?

So, Your Highness, you are so sweet...

Therefore, even if Helen was sent to the distant Nemi Lake by Diana, the king of Sparta could still "choose a husband for the princess".

Therefore, even if Helen is absent, she can "marry the next Spartan king", although there is no substantial progress.

and so……

No matter who took Helen away, by what means, or where, he would be labeled as "abducting the Queen of Sparta to elope".And the newly succeeded King Sparta can also use this as an excuse to gather the ten-nation coalition forces of Greece and start a war.

The most important thing now is to prevent anyone from abducting Helen, whether it is the prince of Troy or the prince of Mycenae, they all have to stop in front of the princess!

After Diana managed to sort out the messy situation, Apollo, who was pillowed beside her, stopped playing the piano, took her hand, and kissed her lightly.

"You're thinking too hard, dear."

Diana was taken aback.

"Never underestimate the ambition of a man, and never underestimate the ambition of a powerful man. If someone really wants to annex Troy, then even if there is no Helen, no Prince of Troy...he will do so."

Diana became more and more dazed, and said dully, "You mean..."

Apollo caressed her soft palm carefully, and drew a rough map on the beach at some point: "Look, this is the distribution of city-states in the human world. And here is Troy."

Diana nodded.

"Troy is at a critical level." Apollo tapped lightly on the sand, "I remember you told me that the East has exquisite silk, powerful iron, and fierce gunpowder... Look at this road, and then look at the location of Troy. There are hundreds of large and small city-states in Greece, and Troy is located in the northeast of Greece, on this road."

Diana was shocked.

"The city of Troy happens to be stuck on the Eastern Silk Road, my dear." Apollo gradually smiled, "If I were the king of Mycenae, the king of Athens, the king of Thebes, the king of Macedonia, the king of Sparta... I would also Take Troy at all costs."

Apollo's low voice echoed on the beach, but Diana had the illusion of "awakening the dreamer with one word".

She relied too much on the experiences of her previous life, and because of these experiences, her thinking was firmly trapped.

The city of Troy is stuck on the Silk Road to the east, and its status in the human world is equivalent to Delphi in the god world.

Back then, the gods could covet Delphi, so the king of the human world would naturally covet the city of Troy... in every possible way.

The checkpoint on the Silk Road leads directly to the mysterious and rich East.

It's called, Troy.

Not to mention the ambitious Greek kings, even an unrelated passer-by would probably be moved by it.

Diana looked into the distance in a daze, and muttered to herself: "Then what should I do..."

"Don't pay attention to the disputes in the human world, baby." Apollo kissed her palm lightly, and the tenderness in his eyes became stronger, "Remember what you said to me? Don't pay attention to it. Troy Both Athens and Athens are city-states that serve Athena, and who Athena wants to abandon and help is not our business."

Diana stared at him blankly, a little at a loss.

Why does it seem... the other way around?

Originally, she wanted to prevent the emergence of the Trojan War and prevent Apollo's disastrous defeat in the Trojan War, but now it has become... It has become Apollo dissuading her from interfering?

"The affairs of the human world should be resolved by the human race themselves. Even if Sparta is serving you, they should not interfere too much. Diana, I understand your feelings, but gods are only gods after all. I am afraid that even the king of Sparta himself , and will not be happy to ask you to 'help' him from time to time."

Apollo spoke softly and calmly.

"As the main god in charge of the sanctuary, you just need to help them when they ask for help."

Diana let out an "ah" in a daze, and suddenly felt that Apollo was teaching her how to be a qualified main god.

Maybe it was her appearance that surprised Apollo, he actually kissed her all the way along her forearm, until her snow-white neck, and then her soft lips... Diana gradually closed her eyes, softly Leaning softly in Apollo's arms, feeling his increasingly heavy breathing and rapid heartbeat, he uttered a monosyllabic word in a low voice: "En."

Apollo put his arms around her waist.

"We... don't care?" She muttered vaguely.

"It doesn't matter." Apollo also replied vaguely, and the fiery kiss gradually moved down to her earlobe.

Her breathing gradually became quicker, and she unconsciously grasped Apollo's sleeve: "Wait, wait."

"No more." Apollo said, biting off her belt a little bit.

"Aren't you going to summon the human priest today?" She struggled a little, her breathing was a little urgent.

Apollo stopped his movements, took a few deep breaths, slightly annoyed: "There will be no 'priests' tonight, Diana."

cough.

There will be no priests to disturb tonight, which is better than this... in broad daylight.

Apollo leaned over and kissed her eyes again, brushed away the shattered hair that was blocking her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Then I'll go meet the priests first, and come back to accompany you later, huh?"

She nodded slightly, rolled over, and fell asleep curled up in the shadow of the palm tree.

There was a smile in Apollo's eyes, and he looked at her quietly for a long time before getting up and leaving reluctantly.
