Chapter 178 I Will Fulfill My Promise

Before Eurydice could speak, Insmene turned her head and looked to the other side and said.

"I didn't cry and scream that I wanted to marry him."

Eurydice smiled awkwardly, feeling that she was too greedy.

On the other side of the palace hall.

Loyin sat with Oedipus, Creon, Etecles, and Menochus.

After a young woman wearing a crown came to Etecles holding a little boy of four or five years old, Etecles took the little boy into his arms and said.

"Cousin Haemon! Although Uncle Creon has been the king of Thebes twice, and you are still my father's son-in-law, you don't want to compete with me for the throne, do you? If it was five years ago, maybe I could give up fighting You fight for the throne. But now, if you want to fight for the throne with me, you will not only take away my status and power as the king of Thebes, but also take away my wife's status as queen and my son Laodamas. As the heir to the throne, I will do my best to defend my throne. My brother Polynices cannot take away my throne, and you cannot take away my throne.”

After Etecles declares his determination to defend the throne, Creon's eyes show cold murderous intent.

There was an expression of worry on Oedipus's face that was difficult to hide.

Luo Yin looked at the reactions of Oedipus and Creon and teased with a smile.

"Etecles! Before you treat me as an enemy, you must defeat your brother Polynices first! If you can defeat Polynices, I will give up fighting for the throne with you."

"You don't think I can defeat Polynices?"

Luo Yin responded with silence, and Creon also showed a satisfied smile to Luo Yin.

Creon supported Etecles in expelling Polynices because Polynices was more powerful than Etecles and it was difficult for Creon to turn Polynices into a puppet king.

After the banquet ended late at night, Oedipus, Antigone, and Insmene returned to Etecles' palace, and Luoyin also returned to Creon with Ariadne and Hypercybele. palace.

Haemon's room.

When Luo Yin was covering herself with a thin quilt and was about to fall asleep, a petite figure got under the thin quilt and climbed onto Luo Yin.

"elder brother--"

After the girl lying on Luo Yin poked her head out from under the thin quilt, her pink lips came to Luo Yin's ear and said seductively.

"Let's fall in love with each other! I'm going to drain all my brother's troubles away so that you won't be interested in other girls."

"Ariadne?"

Recognizing the girl's identity, Luo Yin opened his eyes and hugged her petite body and said.

"We are neither married nor engaged now, so don't mess around."

"Don't you want to eat me, brother?"

"Since you regard me as your favorite brother, you should understand that I will never let my important sister be humiliated. Even if I want to eat you, I will only attack you after we get married."

"That's the reason again! Then brother, you have to promise me that all your troubles belong to me, and you will never take action against other girls. Also - brother's sister is only me, so you can't put Antigone and Treat a fake sister like Insimone as a younger sister.”

"good……"

On the surface Luo Yin agreed to Ariadne's arrogant request, but in his heart he couldn't help complaining.

Prince Haemon of Thebes had no relationship with Princess Ariadne of Crete.

Antigone and Insmene are real cousins ​​with blood ties to Haemon.

It was okay for Ariadne to think of her as her sister.

But it is really unreasonable to let myself regard my cousins ​​Antigone and Insmene as fake sisters.

It seems that she will be sent back to her hometown as soon as possible.

the next morning.

Palace hall.

Once again the Creon and Oedipus families dine together.

Luo Yin enjoyed the wine and meat fed to him by Ariadne and Hypercybele, but his eyes kept staring at Antigone and Insmene beside Oedipus.

Looking at Luo Yin's appearance, Eurydice broke the silence during the meal and said.

"Dear husband! It seems that we need to arrange the marriage of Haemon and Antigone as soon as possible so that we can have a grandson as soon as possible."

Creon understands that his wife wants him to discuss with Oedipus the marriage of Loyin and Antigone.

It's a pity that Creon no longer thinks that Antigone is suitable to be Luo Yin's wife.

This is also the reason why Creon forced Antigone to death in the original fate track.

Creon did not think that Antigone would marry his son, so he did not treat Antigone as his daughter-in-law.

A loud sound!

Ariadne heard Eurydice's words and angrily inserted the bronze tableware in her hand on the table.

It was only because of Eurydice's status that she didn't get angry directly.

After the two families finished their meal, Luo Yin took the initiative to speak to Creon and Eurydice.

"Father! Mother! I know that I left the palace without permission before and you have been worried about me, so this time I want to tell you that I plan to send Ariadne back to her hometown, the Kingdom of Colchis."

"You just came back and you are leaving the city of Thebes again?"

Eurydice said with a very worried look.

"Haimon! You look less and less like my son now. You used to be thinking about your fiancée Antigone. Now that Antigone is back, are you willing to separate from her?"

Creon said with a dissatisfied expression.

"Now Polynices and his allies are gathering soldiers in Argos. You should go to the tribes in the Thebes area to gather soldiers and become a commander to protect Thebes. Sending Princess Ariadne to the Kingdom of Colchis will make the Thebans support you to become king?"

Luo Yin said with a faint smile.

"If I disappoint you, mother can regard Menoeceus as your only son, and father can regard Menoeceus as his heir. I will fulfill my promise to send Ariadne back to the Kingdom of Colchis, and this decision will not change."

"Haemon--"

Seeing Creon was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, Ariadne happily threw herself into Luo Yin's arms and said with a smile.

"Brother! Let's go back to our hometown and stay there together to become the king and queen of Colchis!"

Luo Yin shook his head and said.

"My goal is to become the king of kings in the Aegean Sea and the king of kings in the Mediterranean, not the ruler of the eastern coast of the Black Sea."

After the meal, Antigone and Insmene took Oedipus to the courtyard to bask in the sun.

After letting Menoeceus hold Ariadne back, Luo Yin entered the courtyard and walked up to Antigone and Insmene and said.

"Sister Antigone! Sister Insmene! After I leave, you can live in the palace with peace of mind. Before the end of the Theban War, you are important bargaining chips for Creon, so he will never drive you out of the palace. I will send Ariadne to the Kingdom of Colchis as soon as possible, and then return to Thebes before the Theban War begins."

Antigone said with a sunny smile.

"Brother Haemon, my father and I don't care whether we can live in the palace, because we are used to the life of eating and sleeping in the open when we are wandering. I heard that the journey to the Kingdom of Colchis is very dangerous, you must come back safely."

Insmene came to Luo Yin and whispered.

"It's really cheesy to be called sister by you, you should just call me by my name!"

Luo Yin immediately said with a smirk.

"If you can call me brother like Ariadne, then I will just call you Yinsmene."
