To be king [Greek mythology]

uncomfortable.

"But I can do more than you." Minos said this, with a flat tone without any ups and downs, as if stating a fact, "For example, the slave mark on you, the slave mark on Thurpus, No need to wait until the people of Crete have their hands free to hold a rally, I can get you removed right away."

Miledus had to admit that this was indeed true, but he was still not to be outdone: "I'd rather wait for a while."

"Do you think it's natural for you to rely on Thurpus to survive and rely on Thurpus' efforts to bring you a good life?" Minos tilted his head, and finally took a serious look at Miledus, " Is that what Thurps taught you?"

of course not.

Miledus pursed his lips.

"If you think so, then just pretend I didn't say anything." Minos was satisfied that Miledus finally shut up. He stood up, put on his coat, walked to the door, and looked back at Miredus. Ludus glanced, "The fact now is that you can only stay in the residence of Surps and me, and can't do anything, and I can fight for many things for Surps—that's it."

After Minos finished speaking, he left his residence with a blank face, and ordered the slaves to let him in if Sarpedon came and wanted to find Miledus.

Of course, Minos didn't think that Thurpus' younger brother would be a fool. He just had an intuition that after being so stimulated by him, Miledus would surprise him.

In a step back, it would have been better if Miredus had gone off to live with Sarpedon.

Minos admitted that he was not as magnanimous as he imagined. He really couldn't ignore the obvious hostility of Miledus. Difficulty between himself and Miredus.

Minos first went to the king of Crete.

His face was still a little pale, but the Cretans on the road greeted him with bright smiles after seeing him, and looked at him with admiration and gratitude.

The King of Crete is commanding the warriors to move some inedible corpses to the other side of the city-state—the one leading to the pier—there is a huge open space next to the pier, which is usually used for There are bonfires and carnivals, and special occasions are used to burn these nowhere to put corpses.

"Minos, you're awake." King Crete looked back at Minos and raised his eyebrows, "It just so happens that the celebration banquet is scheduled for tonight, and I'm still worried about whether you will wake up."

"I want to remove the slavery of Thurpus and his brother, this time you have no reason to stop me." Minos said with his head raised.

The King of Crete restrained his expression, and returned to that majestic look, "They have their own merits that can be exchanged for the opportunity to escape from slavery, Minos."

"This is what I promised Thurpus, and I have to do it." Minos said this, with the same serious expression as the King of Crete, "One must not break his promise, Your Majesty, this is your very beginning. Teach the three of us brothers."

King Crete looked at him without speaking.

"What's more, this time, Thurpus should have contributed a lot. If he hadn't taught me this, my solution to the beast tide would still be the continuation of our previous path." Minos said Then, repeating his request, "I will exslave Thurpus and his brother."

The King of Crete looked at Minos for a while, and finally nodded.

The moment Minos nodded, he turned and ran towards Pailis' house.

The King of Crete looked at the back of Minos. What Minos said just now was a little unexpected to him—he really didn't expect that Minos' consciousness would be so high.

After all, Minos' treatment of Radamandes and Sarpedon made him think that Minos's mind was not as broad as he thought. Although it is a good thing for a future king, but As a good and virtuous person, it is not enough.

A wise man is always open-minded and kind.

But a wise man is not fit to be a king.

So before Minos announced the almost retaliatory punishment for Radamandes and Sarpedon, although the King of Crete admired Minos very much, he was still waiting to choose between the three brothers.

Radamandis is small-minded, has a strong desire to win, knows how to play tricks, and has a deep mind. He is suitable for fighting but not for governing the country.

Sarpedon has no opinions, is used to blind obedience, and his thoughts are too simple to see through at a glance, and he has serious thoughts about luck. He is only suitable to be a stable and carefree ordinary nobleman.

Before Minos showed his previous decisiveness, the King of Crete also believed that Minos was suitable for assisting rather than being king himself.

But Minos made a change, which surprised the king of Crete, and the beast tide that followed logically became a test for Minos, and Minos also moved at a vigorous speed. And the astonishing decisiveness gave the King of Crete a huge surprise.

While being decisive and fierce, Minos has not forgotten the integrity of being a wise man, which is really rare.

——Almost a perfect image of a city-state heir.

And Minos, who already has such an image, is still in the growth stage.

As long as he guarantees that Minos will not be distorted before the three views are fully formed, then Minos' future development will definitely shock everyone.

The king of Crete could even imagine what Crete would look like after he stepped down from the throne and Minos ascended the throne.

King Crete looked back at the room behind him, and pushed the door open, revealing the two children hiding inside.

He looked at Radamandis, "Now you know why you are not as good as him."

"He's just luckier." Radamandis lowered his head and whispered.

The King of Crete looked at Radamandis and finally shook his head.

Some people always have their own opinions no matter what others say, and they don't listen to other people's advice.

Stubborn, not flexible, blindly confident.

King Crete's eyes fell on Sarpedon.

Sarpedon didn't care about what the King of Crete said before, he just asked carefully: "Aren't Minos and Surpus in their residence now?"

King Crete nodded.

Sarpedon cheered, and rushed out of the room, and ran to Minos' residence.

The door of the Payris house is open, and the number of people who have come to their house recently has almost broken the threshold of their house.

Minos walked in, glanced around, saw Thurpus and ran away with him.

"Minos?!" Thurpus, who was teasing the little baby of the Payris family, was suddenly dragged out, still confused, "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"

"Well, it's a big deal." Minos pulled Thurpus towards the temple.

Thurps was taken aback, "What's the big deal? Is it Miredus?"

"No, it was out of slavery." Minos looked back at Thurpus, grinning happily, "I really did it, Thurpus."

Thurps finally came back to his senses, raised his eyebrows in surprise, and then smiled, "I said you can do it, Minos."

"Miledus can also be freed from slavery. Wait until the next meeting, and you can exchange your credit for other things from His Majesty." Minos said, and they stopped in front of the temple.

Thurpus was led into the room where the high priest was.

"Minos really values ​​you." The chief priest put the things he had prepared on the table, and pointed to the small stone bed beside the table, "Lie down."

Surps sat on the slate bed, watching the high priest prepare these things curiously.

Unlike what the temple priests of the sun god Apollo they believed in had to do, most of the temple priests who believed in the sea emperor Poseidon used seawater as the medium of magic.

Branding a slave mark is quite simple, but removing it is very troublesome. This is also to prevent slaves from escaping or pretending to be civilians.

The chief priest turned back and put down the things in his hand, and looked at Surpus for a while.

He reached out and stroked Surpus's face, and bent down to get very close to Surpus's face.

The chief priest looks good, has a nice smile on his face, and has a nice voice—just like the sea at night, ethereal yet slightly frightening.

"Do you want to consider staying by my side, eh?" the high priest whispered in Surpus' ear, licked Surpus' earlobe, and held Surpus' shoulders with both hands to restrain Surpus The struggle is surprisingly powerful.

"..." Thurpus was stiff all over, "Master High Priest... I'm here to remove the mark of the slave."

In his new life, Thurpus, who thought his life would return to peace after many years of disasters, met the first of his two lives... a pervert.

Never expected that the aloof chief priest is a gay.

Also suspected of being a pedophile.

"It seems that you don't want to." The chief priest stood up, let go of Surpus' hand, and continued to prepare those things as if nothing had happened, but his eyes wandered over Surpus from time to time.

In layman's terms, it's rape.

Thurps, who was sexually harassed by men for the first time in his two lives, lay down on the cold stone bed following the orders of the high priest, feeling that he might not be able to keep the integrity he had preserved for more than 30 years.

"Do you really not think about it?" The high priest rubbed Thurpus's ankle with a bright red mark, squinting his eyes to show appreciation, "I will make you very happy."

"...Thank you for your favor, I did not intend to add
