Chapter 103 Helen and Clytemnestra

After Luo Yin walked out of the palace hall, Clytemnestra immediately came to Luo Yin and asked.

"Dear fiancé, what did my father tell you? Is he discussing the time of our marriage with you--"

Before Clytemnestra finished speaking, Luo Yin interrupted her and said.

"Your father wants to cancel our engagement."

Clytemnestra immediately widened her eyes in shock.

In the past, her fiancé was a cowardly coward, and Tyndareus had never thought of canceling the engagement.

Now Luo Yin has become a young hero who saves Helen alone, but his father wants to cancel their engagement--

Clytemnestra came back to her senses from the shock, looked at Helen with a complicated look, and then looked at Luo Yin with a firm face and said.

"Dear Tantalus, I am not the heir to the throne chosen by my father. I am willing to go back to Tiryns with you. You will be the king of Tiryns and I will be your queen."

"Are you going to elope with me?"

Seeing Clytemnestra nod without hesitation, Luo Yin smiled helplessly.

"Although I appreciate your kindness, I can't selfishly let you betray your family and Sparta for me. An unmarried daughter belongs to her father, so let's dissolve the engagement according to your father's wishes!"

"Tantalus, are you going to abandon me?"

Seeing Clytemnestra's eyes full of tears, looking like she might cry at any time, Luo Yin's heart softened immediately, and he couldn't help but hug her in his arms and said.

"I just don't want you to betray your family and Sparta, can't you understand my painstaking efforts?"

"I... I can understand you! This is my father's fault, I can't blame you. I will beg my father to keep our engagement, please don't abandon me."

In this ancient era, whether it is a human girl or a goddess, they are proud to be a loyal wife.

In the story of Odysseus and Aeneas, the eternally young and beautiful goddess, in an era when the average life expectancy of humans was only 30 years old, fell like a prostitute and fell for an old man who was far older than 30 years old, had a low status and bloodline, and already had a wife. This was just the debasement and humiliation of the fallen goddess by humans hundreds of years later.

Hera, who would never betray her husband no matter how he cheated on her - that was the true image of human girls and goddesses of this era.

Alcestis, the wife of King Admetus of Frey, left a strong color in mythology with the image of "loyal wife", which shows the importance of loyalty in this era.

Although Lo Yin and Clytemnestra were only engaged, Tyndareus had no reason to cancel the engagement if Lo Yin did not betray his fiancée.

As a loyal fiancée, Clytemnestra did not hesitate to elope to defend the engagement.

Lo Yin and Clytemnestra hugged for a while, and Helen, who was standing next to them, said dissatisfiedly.

"Tantalus! Since you and my sister have been divorced by our father, how can you hug my sister like this! Do you want my sister to be unable to marry and only marry you?"

"Helen, don't talk nonsense."

Clytemnestra hurriedly separated from Luo Yin and said to Helen with a blushing face.

"You are still young, so you don't understand our situation. My father has no reason to cancel my engagement with Tantalus. My future husband must be Tantalus. Unless-"

"Unless what?"

After Helen asked curiously, Clytemnestra looked at Luo Yin with a worried look.

"Unless Tantalus has changed his mind and doesn't want me to be his wife."

Luo Yin immediately changed the subject with a guilty conscience.

"Now I have sent you two sisters back to the palace safely. Next, I will punish Theseus and let everyone know that coveting you will have serious consequences."

"You are no longer your sister's fiancé, and I am no longer your fiancée's sister. Why do you still want to be an enemy of the powerful Theseus for me--"

Before Helen finished speaking, Luo Yin smiled at her dotingly.

"Even if you are no longer my fiancée and my fiancée's lovely sister, you are still important to me. No matter whether it is a human or a god, anyone who hurts you will pay the price."

"Dear Tantalus..."

Clytemnestra was moved by Luo Yin's words and her eyes were full of obsession. Helen said with a puffed face.

"Why do you seem to have changed into a different person, always using such sweet words to seduce girls' hearts."

"I'm not saying sweet words to you, this is my true thoughts. It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, I'll go find Theseus and his friend Pirithous now."

After saying that, Luo Yin walked around Clytemnestra and Helen and walked out of the palace.

"Tantalus--"

Clytemnestra wanted to keep Luo Yin, but Helen stopped her and said.

"Now he is no longer a coward, don't stop a hero from doing what he should do."

Clytemnestra was stunned for a moment, then looked at Luo Yin's back with a complicated expression and murmured.

"As a good wife, should I believe in your strength and support your heroic behavior? Since you are going to do what you should do, I will also do what I should do."

After saying that, Clytemnestra turned and entered the hall.

Tyndarius on the throne saw his two daughters walk into the hall one after another, and he looked at Clytemnestra calmly and asked.

"Tantaros is gone?"

"As my fiancé, he has now gone to avenge his fiancée's sister."

Clytemnestra took great courage and spoke to Tyndareus.

"Father! No matter what your purpose is, I hope you will keep my engagement with Tantalus. If Tantalus is really as great a hero as Brother Polydeuces and Brother Castor, even if we rule in the future Tiryns City, we will also help Helen and her future husband, and we will not let anyone take away Helen’s throne.”

Clytemnestra's words obviously hinted to Tyndareus that she and Luo Yin would not threaten Helen's throne.

Tyndareus said with a sigh.

"Just like Atreus competed with his brother Thyestes for the throne of Mycenae, Tantalus will compete with his cousin Agamemnon for the throne of Mycenae in the future. I I want to terminate your engagement for the sake of your happiness."

"If the goddess of fate does not favor Tantalus, I am willing to bear the bad luck with my husband. If my father is unwilling to change your mind, I will be Tantalus's wife even if I don't get his blessing."

After saying that, Clytemnestra turned around and left the hall.

Apparently, she was completely disappointed in her father who favored her sister Helen.

"elder sister……"

Helen glanced at Clytemnestra, and then looked at Tyndareus on the throne.

Tyndareus shook his head at Helen.

He did not explain to Helen that there is no limit to human ambition.

After the powerful Luo Yin marries Clytemnestra, he will inevitably use Clytemnestra's identity to seize the throne of Sparta.
