To be king [Greek mythology]

A child blushed a little for boasting so bluntly. He laughed and changed the topic to a question that everyone would like to hear, "Is your brother the same as you?"

"Are you referring to the appearance? If you refer to the appearance, then there is not much difference." Thurpus is also happy to talk about Miledus. Of course, first of all, he will ignore the existence of the other two younger brothers.

"I mean character, of course!" said Payris, examining Thurps' face carefully.

A nine-year-old child has gradually grown, and his bones have begun to take shape, so he can get a glimpse of his future appearance.

Payris can guarantee that Thurpus will be a beautiful boy who makes people's hearts beat after seeing him-he is already a good-looking little boy.

Thinking of this, Paieris faintly felt that Minos' attitude towards Thurps seemed to be not quite right.

But after thinking about it, Minos is so young, it should be because he thought too much.

"Miledus...his character is not as firm as mine, but overall he is still a good boy." Thurpus was a little unsure what words and sentences should be used to describe Miledus, Miredus Ledus is indeed excellent, but Miledus's ability to resist sugar-coated shells is far less powerful than him.

The best example of this is the occasional fight with him after being nagged by the queen.

Thurps picked and said something to Payris, but of course he didn't say that he was once the heir to a powerful city-state.

After blurring the background a bit and putting himself in the position of an ordinary nobleman, Thurps began to confide.

He didn't even say these things to Minos. He once wanted to speak, but Minos acted quite... impatient every time he heard him mention his brother?

In short, he is completely different from the usual obedient little guy.

Payris was a pretty good confidant, and Thurps had a good time talking.

For example, he will imitate the cute appearance of Miledus who puffed up his face and lost his temper because of his late return, for example, he will imitate Miledus' childish voice and complain to his father when he is caught by him Horror--Surpus's brother was nothing short of a cherub.

"Sounds like a great little guy, even better without your stepmother's insertion." Payris clearly knows how effective Thurpus' teachings are, such as Minos, before disappearing, he teased When he was with Minos, that kid would just stare at him, but after he disappeared for a trip, he was able to retort his teasing with reason and evidence.

Simply not cute.

Payris thought so.

"Yes, I always thought that my stepmother's intervention would make me more and more distant from Miledus, and finally become strange-but in fact, my stepmother and myself have despised Miledus " Thurps smacked his mouth and touched his left waist.

Payris glanced at his left waist as he moved, and he couldn't see anything under the cover of his clothes, "What happened?"

"As I said, my father is very busy, so busy that he doesn't even have time to see his own children." Thurps said vaguely and vaguely. Of course, his father is really not so busy. He just avoided the queen and his two children habitually. "The two younger brothers were already four years old when they first saw their father."

Surpus didn't even know how his father did it. Although the city-state was not small, it wasn't really big, and it was able to avoid it so perfectly without even a chance encounter. Surpus felt that it was really quite incredible.

"Well, you said it." Paisley also had a look of disbelief on his face, "Didn't those two brats just stab you with a knife?"

"Yes..." Thurps touched his left waist again, "Miledus blocked the knife for me."

Payris was choked for a while, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Including Thurps himself, he never dreamed that Miledus would make such a move.

The father, the queen and even himself were stunned by the sudden incident, but Miredus rushed towards him directly.

The knife finally stabbed into the left side of Miledus, Thurpus recalled his mood at that time, seeing the blood of Miledus soaking his hands so much, Thurpus almost strangled the two of them immediately. Every kid has the heart.

If it hadn't been for Miredus moaning and yelling about the pain, Thurps would have gone straight up and beat the two brats to death in the hall.

Although the two little devils were whipped and the queen was punished in the end, Thurpus never gave them a good look since then. Those two little devils bumped into him before, and he always laughed it off. , Since then, he has never shown mercy again.

Miledus never ran to the queen again, and stayed quietly in the residence of the two brothers every day, waiting for Surpus to come back. Occasionally, Thurpus would take Milledus with him when his father allowed Si studied together with his father.

Although everything has passed for a long time, Surpus is still full of anger when he recalls it now, "If Miredus hadn't been rescued that time, I would kill the mother and child even if I died."

"They're already dead." Payris just wanted to pat Thurpus on the head when he was scratched by the meerkat who had been quietly lying on top of Surpus' head.

"The only one who died was the stepmother, those two may still be alive, and - my father is also dead." Sepps lowered his eyes, as long as he thought of the situation when his father was beheaded, he felt the pain in his heart. He can't take it.

He used to have no father and no mother, and lived a life of mediocrity and confusion. When he opened his eyes again, he came to this ancient mythical world. The father who is sitting next to him is the gentle and amiable mother.

The two years before Miledus was born were the happiest and happiest two years of Thurps.

But in the end, the mother died because of dystocia, leaving only Miledus crying loudly.

The gentle smile on his father's face is hard to see from now on.

But he really loves his father, the father who made him feel affection and warmth, taught him the principles, told him how to behave, and taught him how to survive in this world.

He taught him everything in his life, and he always favored his father among the four children.

His father, who was supposed to be high above the ground, even became the king of the most powerful and great city-state in the Attica region, watched Syreis from the last of the four tribes of Attica to become the most powerful one, and then took the burden on his shoulders. Take it off, enjoy your old age, and finally close your eyes comfortably under the warm sun shining on the grape arbor, and die in bed.

However, his great father was beheaded and hung on the gate of the city-state, and the body was randomly discarded aside to be bitten by wild beasts.

How could Thurps bear it.

Even if it's not for the city-state, it's for the father's revenge—the executioner who killed his father, the invaders who broke through Syreis, and the three tribes who disappeared for half a month after they sent out the signal for help... …

"Don't you still have Miledus?" Payris noticed Thurpus's depression, and regretted his cheap mouth.

No matter how mature and stable Thurps usually appears, he is still just a child after all.

Payris had guessed that Thurpus had been well-educated and would end up as a slave, and something pretty bad must have happened.

He didn't try to lead Thurpes back to the meaning of those bad memories—and Thurpes was quite amused when he talked about Miredus.

I wouldn't have asked if I knew it earlier, Payis thought with a bit of a toothache.

Thurps raised his head and smiled at Payris, sorted out his emotions and nodded, squinting his eyes and looking very happy: "It's not only Miredus, but also Minos."

Payris chuckled twice, relieved that he hadn't made things worse.

He glanced at the meerkat lying on top of Thurpus' head, and looked at the red marks on his hands, "This meerkat is lying on your head, don't you feel hot with its hair? "

Although it is already autumn, the weather is still not very cool. Walking on this path leading to the west entrance of the forest at night, it is very hot without wind.

Surpus shook his head, and the meerkat shook his head twice.

"It's not hot, it's a cold-blooded animal." Thurps lifted the meerkat off its head, ignored the meerkat's struggle, and stuffed it into Paieris's arms to let him feel it, "It's cool."

Payris gave a light snort, then shook his head, "I'm sure the mongoose is not cold-blooded."

"Oh, because it is Hydra's child."

Payris shook his hand.

The mongoose jumped directly on top of Surpus' head.

Thurps looked at Payris and the other three young warriors who froze for a moment, and reached out to lift the mongoose off and rub it in his arms, secretly feeling refreshed.

"Have you subdued it?" Payris asked curiously.

Thurps shook his head, "I became friends with it."

Payris wants to know something else—for example, why the mongoose doesn't look as big and hideous as Xu Dela, and it doesn't look any different from other mongooses except that its body temperature is always constant and cold.

But he didn't have a chance to ask for it.

The sudden shrill cry of the mongoose pierced the silent darkness, and something in the distant forest was responding to his cry, echoing one after another.

Thurps
