Davos quickly made Publius sign a treaty of alliance with the Christaum people, and the Dionysian army quickly conquered the east of Rome and began to target the Latin states to the south.

"Master, you're wearing this... underwear, it's really beautiful! Even Aphrodite will be jealous of you!" Agnes' personal slave girl couldn't help but praised her.

"Don't talk nonsense, how can I compare to Eros!" Agnes said this, but her tone was not harsh. She turned around and asked softly, "Is it really good-looking?"

"It is said that Aphrodite's chest strap is full of temptation, but I think this set of underwear is matched with your beautiful figure, even I, as a woman, can't help being attracted, even... envy, if your Majesty Davos Seeing you, you will definitely be deeply fascinated by you, Master!" The slave girl sighed obsessively.

Agnes didn't speak, but looked and looked at the bronze mirror that was one person tall. One hand was touching the white underwear on her chest, and the other hand was playing with her posture. At the age of 40, she has The slack skin felt the passing of years, and this set of clothes, which she called "underwear", sent by Cristoia, wearing it on her body, not only made her feel comfortable, but also showed the slenderness of her youth. The figure, and added a mysterious beauty, made Agnes look in the mirror and intoxicated herself...

After a long time, she put on her clothes again and took the slave girl downstairs to the hall.

Sitting in the hall, Cristoia, who was discussing matters with the palace chief Ribazzo, saw her and immediately told everyone else to withdraw.

When only the two of her were left in the hall, Cristoia asked, "Sister Agnes, are you wearing it? How do you feel?!" There was a bit of urgency in her tone.

"Very...very good! I like it very much!" Agnes replied slightly shyly.

"Since you feel good, the women of Dionia will feel better!" Cristoia clapped her hands excitedly: "Tomorrow, I will let Ribazzo send slaves to build a garment worker. Shop, buy more than a dozen female slaves who can cut and start making this kind of underwear, and give it to the wives of the elders first, so that they can help me promote..."

Cristoia said excitedly, Agnes was not very interested in these, she asked softly: "Sister, you seem to have said that this underwear was designed by His Majesty?"

"Yeah, I originally wanted His Majesty to give me an idea to make up for the losses incurred by the bank last year in helping the people to tide over the drought. Who knew he would give me such an idea!" He smiled, and then he remembered something, his expression became serious again, and said: "He is usually so busy with government affairs,

Who knew he would pay so much attention to our... there! "

Speaking of which, Kristoia bit her teeth, took Agnes' hand, and said intimately, "Sister, you and I should take His Majesty's attention very closely and never let him go outside. Steal!"

"Maybe... It may be that Hades gave His Majesty a revelation..." Agnes defended Davos in a low voice.

"Hades is not a god who likes to pay attention to this aspect..." Cristoia also quietly arranged a sentence for the guardian of the kingdom, and then said sternly: "Sister, we are all getting old, and we must learn to be more Dressing yourself up well can attract His Majesty's eyes to us all the time!"

Agnes nodded lightly and squeezed Cristoia's hand tightly. The two women who were similar in age and had different hobbies had lived together for nearly 20 years. Sisterhood intimacy.

"Sister, don't always wear that white suit. Your Majesty will get tired of it after watching it for a long time. I'll send you a few sets of underwear with other colors and patterns in two days..." Christoia suggested.

"Hmm..." Agnes replied shyly.

"Mother, we're back!" At this moment, a crisp shout came from outside the door, and then two pretty girls, one tall and one short, entered the hall.

"Mother Agnes is here too!" the tall girl shouted again.

The short girls saluted respectfully in turn: "Mother! Mother Cristoia!"

"Eunice, how do you say hello to the elders? Haven't you learned it before!" Kristoia said with a straight face.

"Okay..." Eunice pouted, saluting helplessly to the two mothers, and then glared at Ivia, who was snickering, to show her dissatisfaction.

"Why did you come back so early today?!" Cristoia asked slightly sternly.

"Uh... This afternoon, I was teaching dance. I had my menstrual period, and the teacher gave me a leave. I thought it was boring to go home alone, so I also asked for leave for Ivia." Eunice said boldly.

"It's not enough for you to be lazy by yourself, you have to pull your sister!" Kristoia sank.

"I... I'm also a little uncomfortable, my sister-" Ivia stammered and was about to defend herself when Eunice patted her: "Don't talk."

Cristoia's almond eyes widened, and Agnes, who was beside her, said hurriedly, "Since you are not feeling well, then go and rest."

The two girls had a look of joy on their faces, and then looked at Cristoia again.

Kristoia's face was still gloomy: "Forgive you both this time, and leave early like this next time, you will be punished!"

"Got it!" The two responded in unison, turned around but smiled at each other, and walked out briskly.

Walking to the door, Eunice turned her head and asked, "Mother, is there any news from your father and brother today?"

"Yes! The messenger brought a letter from your father this morning, saying that the Roman army has been disintegrated, and both your elder brother and brother Adoris have returned to Rome safely and are preparing to participate in the triumphal ceremony held in Rome. "..." Cristoia said.

"A triumphal ceremony in Rome?!" Eunice snorted softly, and then said angrily, "I really want to see it!"

"When will father and brother come back?" Ivia interjected.

"Son, this... the letter didn't say it." Cristoia said with a smile: "However, since our army has occupied Rome and defeated their army, the day of final victory should not be far away, Then your father and the others will be back!"

Ivia listened and showed a happy smile.

"Let's go, Ivia, it's time for us to go back to the bedroom to rest." Eunice winked at her.

The two girls walked out of the hall, and they could be vaguely heard whispering: "Let's go and get Briantes' dog out, and my horse out, you hold your kitten, and then we're there. Play outside in the yard."

"Brionettes will be angry when he finds out!"

"With me here, he wouldn't dare!"

...

Cristoia, who was in the hall, sighed suddenly.

Agnes saw it and hurriedly advised: "Sister, don't be too strict with the children, and let them relax occasionally."

"I'm not bothered by this." Cristoia looked out the door, shook her head and said, "In a few months, Eunice will be 14 years old, she is almost an adult, and she is still playing like this... "

"According to the laws of our Dionia, Eunice is still two years away from adulthood, sister, you are too worried now. Moreover, I think Eunice's strong character is a good thing, and she will not be bullied in the future, It's Ivia that makes me feel a little worried." Agnes reassured.

In most city-states in Greece, a woman can talk about marriage even if she is an adult at the age of 14, but in the Kingdom of Dionia, at the strong request of King Davos, and with the support of medical authorities such as Helps , the Senate passed the law that "a woman is considered an adult at the age of 16, and she cannot marry before that" (Originally, Davos wanted to set the age of adulthood for a woman at 18, but in this era because of the harsh environment and backward medicine, Greece The average age of people is not high, and women are often precocious. If you wait until the age of 18 to get married, the cost of parenting is too high, and it is not conducive to the growth of the Dionysian population, so a compromise was made.)

"You don't have to worry about this, who would dare to bully our children!" Cristoia raised her eyebrows slightly, turned her head to look at Agnes, and said softly, "This morning, Andrea came over and talked about about her eldest son Eumatius, and asked about Eunice unknowingly..."

"He wants to propose to her son?!" Agnes was surprised. Although she seldom interacted with outsiders, she grew up in a wealthy family in Lijim and had some understanding of these things.

"If it was in other Greek city-states, and Eunice had reached the age of marriage, Andrea wanted to say hello to me in advance, so I pretended not to know and didn't give her an answer. More people have mentioned this to me..." Kristoia shrugged helplessly.

"Sister, you don't have to worry too much. Your Majesty has said several times, 'Eunice and the others decide their marriages by themselves, and they can marry whoever they want.'" Agnes comforted.

She and Cristoia both have deep feelings for the traditional Greek patriarchal marriage. At first, Cristoia was sent to the Persian prince Cyrus the Younger as a concubine, while Agnes was sent to Turii. , they were all decided by their fathers, and they never consulted their wishes at all. Fortunately, the final outcome was good. Of course Agnes didn't want the children to follow their old ways, and Davers' decision was naturally welcomed by her.

"Sister, it's not that simple." Cristoia shook her head and said with some annoyance: "Eunice is young, how can she tell whether the man she likes is good or bad, we have to check for her! Besides, she is really going to marry an ordinary commoner. What will the elders of Dionia and the minister's wives think? What will their children think? I am afraid that this ordinary son-in-law will be under great pressure in the kingdom in the future. So will he still be nice to Eunice?...Those things have to be considered!"
