Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 185 My proposal to you is sincere

Laomedon had a nonchalant smile on his face, obviously not taking Luo Yin's warning seriously.

After all, the Trojan region is separated from mainland Greece by the Aegean Sea. In the past, they had only heard of Hercules' heroic deeds from merchants traveling between the two regions.

Now that they see that Hercules cannot even defeat a young hero, they will only think that the Greeks exaggerated the strength of local heroes, and will not really think that Luo Yin has the power of a god.

"Young man! You defeated the notorious bandit Hercules for us, and I must entertain you according to guest etiquette. Now I invite you to my palace and let me hold a grand banquet for you."

Upon hearing Laomedon's invitation, Luo Yin instinctively wanted to refuse.

At this moment, Luo Yin noticed that someone was observing him from a distance.

Turning his head to look at the city wall of Troy, he saw Hesione's graceful figure standing on the wall. Luo Yin finally nodded and accepted Laomedon's invitation.

Troy City.

Palace hall.

The royal family and nobles of Troy City gathered here to celebrate today's victory over the invaders.

Laomedon sat on his throne deep in the hall, and only the beautiful princess Hesione was allowed to stand beside him.

Luo Yin entered the hall accompanied by Priam, the youngest son of Laomedon. Laomedon immediately stood up from the throne and said.

"My dear family! Dear nobles! At today's banquet, we not only celebrate the defeat of the infamous Hercules, but also celebrate a young hero becoming our friend."

Priam pulled Luo Yin up the steps where the throne was. Luo Yin and Laomedon looked at each other, then turned to look at the people in the hall and said.

"Dear Trojans! I am Haemon from the Thebes region, and I am honored to be warmly received by King Laomedon as a friend."

After listening to Luo Yin's words, a middle-aged nobleman said immediately.

"Are you Haemon, son of Creon? Although your father Creon became the king of Thebes twice, he returned the throne to the descendants of Cadmus both times because Creon's family was not Thebes. A descendant of Cadmus, the founder of this city. You are not a prince, but a noble like us, so you are not qualified to stand with the royal family who are descendants of gods."

In this era where the royal family is deified as the descendants of gods, there is indeed an insurmountable gap between the royal family and the nobility.

Seeing that others also had doubts about him standing next to Laomedon, Luo Yin suddenly put his right hand around Hesione's waist, held Hesione in his arms and said.

"Creon's family is indeed not a royal family or a descendant of gods, but as long as I marry a princess who is a descendant of gods, I can obtain the status of a royal family. Princess Hesione is not only a member of the Trojan royal family, but also serves the city of Troy. The priestess who protects the goddess, no one among you doubts that she can give me the status of a royal family!"

After everyone in the hall fell into silence due to shock, Laomedon said with a wry smile.

"My young friend! Hesione is my only daughter. To question Hesione is to question the Trojan royal family. Hesione is also the priestess of the goddess. To question Hesione is to question the guardian of Troy. The great goddess. I believe that no Trojan will question the royal status of Hesione’s husband, but I did not say that I would marry my precious daughter to you in gratitude.”

Luo Yin looked down at Hesione in his arms, looked into her beautiful blue eyes and said.

"Beautiful Princess Hesione, will you marry me?"

Hesione hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said.

"If this is your proposal to me, I'm willing to accept it."

Luo Yin immediately showed a winner's smile, looked at everyone in the hall and said.

"You saw it! I think having royal status is a very simple thing, so don't question me stupidly."

The nobles who questioned Luo Yin just now lowered their heads to avoid Luo Yin's gaze.

Hesione said with a dissatisfied frown.

"You just want to use me, you don't really want to propose to me?"

Luo Yin said with a guilty conscience when he saw Laomedon glaring at him with a cannibalistic look.

"Of course I really like you and want to be with you. But the ownership of the daughter belongs to the father, and I cannot force King Laomedon to marry you to me."

Laomedon said immediately.

"Dear Haemon! You have proven your strength by defeating Heracles. As long as you are willing to marry the city of Troy, I can marry Hesione to you and make you a member of the Trojan royal family. "

Marry-in-law——

In the original destiny trajectory, Hesione and Cassandra were both around thirty years old and unmarried.

Obviously, as the incarnation of the guardian goddess of Troy, they cannot leave Troy.

"Hesione! Although I like you, I can't betray my hometown Thebes for you. If you can't return to your hometown with me, the proposal just now will not happen."

Seeing that there was no disappointment or regret on Luo Yin's expression, Hesione looked at Luo Yin with suspicion and muttered.

"If you really like me, why aren't you willing to marry into Luoyin City for me?"

Because there are girls I like better elsewhere!

After silently confessing in his heart, Luo Yin explained with a serious face.

"Because my father, Creon, and my mother, Eurydice, would not agree to the marriage."

After saying that, Luo Yin left the steps where the throne was and sat with the sons of Laomedon to enjoy fine wine and food.

Laomedon patted Hesione's shoulder to comfort his daughter and asked with some confusion.

"Dear daughter! This is the first time you and Haemon have met. Why did you agree to marry him?"

"I do not know why either……"

Hesione looked at Luo Yin with complicated eyes and said.

"Perhaps this is the guidance of the goddess, which makes me feel that I have known him a long time ago and want to be his... wife."

the next day.

After having breakfast with the Trojan royal family in the hall, Luoyin said goodbye to Laomedon and Hesione, and refused Laomedon's offer to stay.

In order to show his respect for Luo Yin, Laomedon personally sent Luo Yin to the port.

The port of Troy.

Before Luo Yin boarded his ship, he looked at Hesione's cute little face with some reluctance and said.

"Hesione, I really hope you can return to Thebes with me, because my proposal to you is sincere."

After finishing speaking, Luo Yin boarded the ship and ordered the sailors to set sail.

Seeing Luo Yin waving goodbye at the stern of the ship, Hesione said with a smile.

"Since you are sincere, then I should also work hard. Father! Have we in Troy City ever considered forming an alliance with Thebes City?"

Laomedon looked at Hesione in confusion and said.

"Although our city of Troy has frequent trade exchanges with the city-states of Eubia, we have no exchanges with the city of Thebes. For the benefit of our city of Troy, if the Thebes region can control Eubia Only if the island serves as an outlet to the sea will I be interested in forming an alliance with the city of Thebes.”
