To be king [Greek mythology]

attitude, as Minos had done to Sarpedon.

Minos may not feel it himself, but in his opinion, Minos' tolerance for Sarpedon is really high, even when Sarpedon helped Radamandis to pit him After that, nothing changed much.

Minos is very concerned about Sarpedon, otherwise he would not have directly spoken about what happened to Sarpedon three years ago, and emphasized that he was severely frozen.

At that time, Minos must have been particularly worried about Sarpedon, and this incident made such a deep impression on him.

Moreover, Minos beat Radamandis when he returned, and threatened Sarpedon verbally but did not attack him. After that, Sarpedon often came to him, and Minos' expression was not good every time. No matter what, he also opened his mouth to Salpedon, but did not cause any substantial damage to Salpedon.

Even if he were to throw Sarpedon into the forest to fend for himself this time, Minos did nothing wrong.

Thurps can empathize with Minos' mentality.

It's like Miledus usually likes to run to his father behind his back to blackmail him, but when he turns his head to face him, he can only wave his short hands and try to fight, but he can't even reach him. Compared with the younger brother's actions, there is a world of difference.

And the reason for everything is that Thurpus is much better and precocious than the other three younger brothers. As the king's father, he spends more time teaching and accompanying Thurpus.

The attention paid to the other three children was pitifully scant by comparison.

It's no wonder that his own brother is so envious and jealous of him.

Moreover, he still clearly remembered that when Miledus first learned to speak, the first person to call out was his brother.

After that, even though he was very awkward, he never forgot Thurps' birthday every year, and would carefully prepare gifts for him.

Generally speaking, his younger brother is still a very well-behaved child.

But after the other two little ones were born, Miledus didn't want to squat in their residence every day waiting for Thurpus, who was brought by his father, to come back, but ran to the new queen's palace to see New born brother.

Their mother died early, and after one or two visits to the queen, Miledus, who had never experienced maternal love, was out of control.

The queen is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the conflict between them quickly became apparent. Thurpus told Miledus about the queen and the two new younger brothers. Miledus was very smart and knew which was better. Which is more important, but in the end it was still affected by the queen.

At first, Miledus would complain a few words about his faults in front of his father.

The two newborn younger brothers were also full of hostility towards Thurpus, even when facing Miredus, they also put on a look of disgust.

Thurpus didn't care about the attitude of the queen and his son, after all, they were just milk babies at that time, and his father's attitude towards the queen was far less than his enthusiasm for the affairs of the city-state.

But Thurpus couldn't help but mind, Miredus was his younger brother, the closest relationship.

He taught Miledus little by little what he had learned and comprehended, so that Miledus would be able to save himself when there was an accident in the future and he couldn't take care of him.

Even if Thurps has spent his whole life, he can't do everything, especially when dealing with sensitive and fragile children.

It's normal for Miledus to have opinions on him, but that doesn't mean he won't continue to treat Miledus well.

Miledus likes the queen to give him the same feeling as his mother, so he treats his two younger brothers who have just learned to speak. The queen knows these things clearly, so even if Miledus runs to her every day, she He didn't give Miledus any face either.

It's a pity that in just half a month, everything was destroyed.

Thurpus took a deep breath. After all, he devoted so much effort to Miledus. Although Miledus was not as close to him as before, it was because he did not bring up others. Church He talked, taught him to walk, and taught him some truths he should know.

Compared to the sons of the two queens who drew knives directly in front of their father and wanted to stab him to death when they met their father for the first time...

It's almost like a farce.

Thurpus sighed and touched his left waist. Under the light of the torch at the gate of the city, the jumping stars in his black eyes seemed to darken just like his mood.

The last thing he wanted to think about was his three younger brothers.

But what he misses the most is his relatives who are still alive.

Thurps is very happy now that there is hope to reunite with Miledus.

After the loss, Thurps feels the value of his loved ones even more.

No matter how close Minos' attitude towards him is now, in the end it is not as good as a brother.

"Thurps."

The person who was shouted turned his head, and under the light of the fire, he seemed to be able to clearly see Thurpus's slightly red eye sockets.

Minos paused, narrowed his eyes, walked over a few steps, lifted Thurpus's clothes and checked them carefully, and heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no injuries.

"What's wrong?" Minos' eyes turned red when he saw Surpus for the first time.

"I want to leave the city-state." Thurpus looked away from Minos, and the city gate was closed because it was completely dark. "I want to go to the forest."

Minos pursed his lips, "You want to go back?"

"Sarpedon met my younger brother three years ago—my younger brother is also in Crete!" Thurpus' voice suddenly rose, "He came to Crete earlier than me, he was in the forest !"

"It's been three years. Not everyone is as lucky as you to meet this little guy." Minos pointed to the meerkat on Surpus's head baring its teeth at the warriors guarding the city gate. "You and I As I said, the south is the domain of wolves, Thurps."

Thurps caught his breath.

The pack of wolves only arrived in the southern forest a year ago to establish their territory.

Miledus was taught by him to grow up, and he must have a lot in common with him. For example, Thurps never changed his residence in the cave after he fixed it in the forest. Will not leave the original stable place.

Sarpedon obviously spent some time in the forest with Miredus, which means that Miledus must have found a stable residence, and he may have found a way to freely enter and exit the forest, otherwise it cannot explain why Sarpedon would appear alone on the pier one morning.

According to Miledus' temperament, nine out of ten he really couldn't support Sarpedon, so he threw him on the pier and waited for someone to pick him up.

Thurpus was even sure that Miredus would only leave after watching Sarpedon being brought back to the city-state.

If Miledus is really alive, then he will definitely choose to leave his original place in order to avoid the wolves.

"He might still be alive." Thurps shook his head. "It's going to be winter again soon, and I don't want him to try his luck alone to survive this severe winter."

Miredus was a year younger than him, so it would definitely not be easy to survive in the forest.

Thinking about it this way, Thurps felt distressed.

"Crete is big, Thurps."

"No matter how big you are, you can't go everywhere, Minos, I think you should understand my feelings." Sepps took a deep breath, "You still have a city-state, you still have support, you have a future, you also have status and brothers. , but I have nothing, at least for now."

"You have me." Minos was in a dull mood, and nothing made him sadder than what Thurpus said to him in person - what Thurpus said meant that he didn't take Minos's words into consideration at all. Existence is classified into the category of "one's own people".

Minos didn't know what he should do to make Surpus fully accept him.

He hoped to keep Surps, and the reason he wanted Surps to stay with him was not just because he could help him get rid of his slavery.

"It's different, Minos." Thurps shook his head. "I now have a chance to find my brother—you know what that means to me."

Minos hung his head, of course he knew.

For Surps, the existence of the younger brother is the ray of light that breaks through the darkness, like a life-saving straw.

Minos didn't even dare to think about how far his status in Surpus' heart would drop after Surpus got his brother back.

"Minos, will you let me go?" Thurps looked at Minos with his head bowed, "I promise I will come back."

Minos pursed his lips, and finally let go of Thurpus's clothes.

He felt very powerless.

In the final analysis, he is still not good enough, not strong enough, and he can't directly tie people by his side.

Minos didn't look at Thurpus again, but turned his head to look at the warriors guarding the city gate.

"Open the city gate, call four people, and follow Thurpus into the forest."

Chapter 25

As the master, Minos couldn't understand the connivance of the slave Thurpus.

Even if it can be barely explained that one of the future heirs of the city-state really attaches great importance to this slave who will become the leader of the city-state warriors in the future... it is really a bit far-fetched.

After all, the fact that the slave subdued Hydra was said by Minos, and people just saw Thurps coming down from the top of Hydra's head.

But don't forget that Minos also came down from the head of Hydra. When Minos didn't express his position at the beginning, everyone took it for granted that the person who made Hydra submit was Minos.

Many people still believe that
