Chapter 9: The Happiness of Giogris
Last year, when the Turriyi army was defeated in Lucania and other women were mourning for their dead husbands, Andrea closed the door and shed tears at home: she was finally free!
A few days later, the Lucanians invaded Amendora, and all the people were taken prisoner, and she was no exception. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info The Lucanian warriors took a fancy to her beauty and escorted her to Bagul to curry favor with the tribal chief's successor.
Seeing this man with long and unkempt hair, tall and burly, and a look different from that of a Greek, Andrea trembled with fright, and began to lament in her heart the misfortune of her fate, but the strong man in front of her did not violate her, but comforted her in Greek not to be afraid......
While most of the people of Amendolara were imprisoned in the temple, Andrea and her son lived in their own courtyard, and every day Bagul personally brought them rich food, caring for her, but never touching her. Andrea gradually lets her guard down and eventually falls in love with the Lucanian man, who she feels is steady, loving, and caring compared to her former husband...... A hundred times better than your ex-husband! For the first time, a young woman experienced love. Finally, one day, she took the initiative to invite Bagul into her room...... From then on, as soon as Bagul returned home, she was inseparable from him, and she happily felt that if her married life was hell before, then now it is the Elysée paradise in hell!
So when Bagul told her worriedly, the Lucanians had been defeated and their tribe was ready to retreat into the mountains. When asked if she would like to go with him, she only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
The night before, when the mercenaries invaded the city of Amendolara, Andrea and her children retreated with Bagul and his people to the temple of Zeus on the top of the mountain, and when she saw the Lucanians and the Amendolars fighting in front of the temple, she did not worry too much about her compatriots, but instead focused on Bagul, and finally saw him defeated by the mercenaries who pounced......
Davers didn't expect to encounter such a bloody plot in this world, as a political figure, he was certainly not moved by Andrea's story and infatuation, but he thought of a question about how to deal with Lucania's captives. At yesterday's meeting, he said nothing about Lucaria's captives, fearing that the grieving old citizens and their bereaved relatives would burn them to ashes with their wrath. So he was waiting, waiting for the hatred of these old citizens to subside over time; Wait for those bereaved relatives to forget their old grievances because they have established a new family.
"If you don't choose a new citizen to marry, then according to the law that is now enacted, the land and property you own will have to be regulated by the city-state government until you marry again, or your son grows up and returns to him, do you understand?" Davers reminded.
"I understand. I am willing to donate my husband's legacy to the city-state, as long as it is ...... If only you can keep Bagul alive and treat him well! Andrea pleaded in a mournful tone.
"When the Lucarians were captured, they were simply imprisoned and not killed or tortured. First of all, of course, the person you said was not seriously injured. Davers explained earnestly.
"He didn't! He didn't! …… I saw that he was only knocked unconscious, and he was awake when you captured him! Andrea said excitedly.
"Well, I'll go back and check if there's a captive like Bagul. If so, I'll arrange for you to meet with him. Davers said calmly.
"Really?!! That's great, my lord! Thank you! Thank you very much!! You are as merciful as the goddess Hera!! ......" Andrea was so happy that she was incoherent and fell to her knees in front of Davers.
At this moment, Davers's eyes were fixed on the soldiers who had found nothing in the square, and his mind was full of thoughts: it was not only the warriors who were captured by the Lucanians, but also the elderly, women, and children, and it seemed that this tribe had originally wanted to take root in Amendolara. With these old and young women and children, he has more confidence in the warriors who control this tribe. Moreover, if the soldiers were to marry a single Lucanian woman, then the citizens of Amendolara would be related to the captive Lucanian tribe, and the plan of "assimilation of the losers" hidden in their hearts would be one step closer, so the matter must be acted upon immediately.
……………………………………
Giogris followed the woman, Danrith and Danya (who was too nervous to hear her), to Rafias, the registrar.
After seeing Giogris at the Senate meeting last night, Rafia slowed down to introduce Giogris to the situation at Denia's house and asked him if he would like to be united with Denya.
Giogris was a little shy, his expression cramped, and he didn't know how to speak.
Tanya whispered from the side, "Say yes." ”
So, he nodded, and everything was like a dream.
Giogris didn't want to participate in this "blind date", but he was dragged by his own subordinates, so he stood in the corner from the beginning, not wanting to stick to the women like everyone else. Who knows, just when he was idle and wanted to sleep, a woman appeared in front of him, took the initiative to tell him her name, and introduced her family, and then directly said to him: I fancy him and want him to be her husband
Gio Griston was blindfolded, and looked at the beautiful face of the woman, and did not know what to do. Under the woman's soft begging, he almost nodded, and then was taken out of the square by the woman.
As a woman in her thirties and twice married, she despised girls who indulged in men's rhetoric, believing that it was often honest and steady men who brought happiness to women. So in the square, when she saw Giogris uncomfortable in the corner, she fell in love with him.
Tanya's home is halfway up the hill and is a relatively large courtyard.
Dania opened the door and saw Giogris standing outside the door, still hesitating whether to go in, she smiled and stepped forward to take his hand, and said very seriously: "Come in, from now on this is your home, you are the master of this place!" ”
Family?! The word touched the heart of Giogris who had low self-esteem and loneliness.
Following Denya through the gate, Giogris looked around curiously: the perimeter was a tall courtyard wall made of neatly shaped ashlar stone and painted with lime. Upon entering the door, between the entrance and the foyer is an open courtyard, surrounded by colonnades to form the atrium, in the center of which there is a pool, the water of which comes mainly from rainwater, and leads to the underground cistern for life (this is what Tanya later told him), and the pool is surrounded by a variety of plants, and it is spring, and it is blooming with colorful flowers. In the center of the pool stands a statue of a young girl in white marble, naked and seductive...... Giogris blushed and his heart beat at the sight......
Tanya led him around the pool and into the hall, forced Giogris to lie on his side on a cushioned armchair, and said with concern, "Are you hungry?" I'll go cook first. ”
"I'll go too." Giogris wanted to stand up, but was held down by Danya: "No, it's a woman's business." You go take a shower first and rest for a while. With that, she shouted upstairs, "Ibia! Ibia! ”
With a crisp response, a dark-skinned slave girl rushed downstairs.
"This is your host!" Tanya said with a little majesty.
The girl humbly walked up to Giogris with a little curiosity in her eyes, and saluted respectfully: "Master! ”
"You go and boil a bucket of hot water, then bathe the master and change into new clothes!" Tanya commanded.
……………………………………
Giogris lay in a large wooden barrel filled with hot water, his face also warm.
For Ibia wore only a thin linen coat to scrub his body, and the toned carcass clung to the soaked fabric, looming and parching the young Giogris's mouth: is this the life of a citizen of the city-state?
He was nervous and cramped, more of a surprise.
Dinner was bread and olives, and Denya apologized for it, "Dinner is too easy, there is no way, because Cornerus only allocates me this little thing." He also said that it would be like this for some time to come. ”
Remembering last night's meeting, Giogris comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Chief Davers...... Your Excellency has sent someone to Tarantum for help, and luckily the Lucanians have forced you to plant the grain immediately, ready to harvest in early autumn. After the Senate has arranged for new citizens like me in the next few days, you can get your land back to yourself. ”
"Is it true?!"
"At last night's meeting of the Senate, the Archon made a decision after consulting with everyone." Giogris said with a slight swagger.
"Great!" Tanya said happily, in fact, she was even happier in her heart, she didn't expect the young Giogris to be able to participate in the senate meeting of the city-state, she really picked up a treasure: "But you are wrong, it is not my land that you want to get back, but your land!" ”
That night, Tanya used all her skills to kill the virgin Giogris who was still serving the immortals......
On this moonlit night, the same passionate and romantic scene takes place in many newly formed homes in the city of Amendolara......
