"Mother, this belt is too important to you, I can't ask for it!" Cynthia realized the meaning behind the belt and hurriedly handed it back to Christoya.

"Take it, I don't need it anymore. And it will continue to bless you, my daughter! Christoya smiled, now that she was the queen of Dionia, with her wealth in her hands, her husband who was loved by all, and her sons and daughters, she would have severed all ties with that past.

Christoya returned the belt to Cynthia, then pointed to the long wedding dress and beautiful robe on the bed, and said, "Your father gave it to you. They are the best fabrics that they bought from Persia and embroidered for you by the best weavers in the kingdom......"

Cynthia looked at this, her eyes turned a little red, she hugged Christoya tightly, and said excitedly: "Mother, I'm ...... I ......" There were a thousand words in my heart, but they were all choked up in my throat.

Christoya caressed her face kindly, and said softly: "Silly boy, your father and I have always regarded you as our own daughter, and these things can only express our hearts slightly, and we are reluctant to marry you off...... Because of marriage customs, adult men are not allowed to enter your boudoir at this time. Your father has asked me to say something to you, and he wants you not to be arrogant in your own status when you marry into the Patroclus family, but to do your best to do your duty as a hostess, take care of the housework, and honor your in-laws......"

With each of Christia's words, Cynthia nodded vigorously, and the two talked for a while before Christoya left the room.

Cynthia wiped away her tears and looked at the wedding ornaments on the bed alone, a little dazed.

At this time, a small crack opened in the door, and a small head was inserted: "Sister." ”

"Come on in!" Cynthia hurriedly beckoned.

Eunice pulled Avia in.

"Sister, it's boring for you to stay alone in the house, let's accompany you."

"Thank you Eunice, you're so sensible!"

"Sister Cynthia, you are married, can we still see you often in the future?"

"Of course, as long as you don't sleep in the future, I'll come back to see you often, Avia."

"Hmm...... I won't sleep anymore. ”

"Sister, and me, you have to come back to see me often!"

"As long as you stop bullying your classmates, I'll come back to see you."

"How can I bully my classmates?!"

"Sister Cynthia, what is this?!" The sharp-eyed Avia asked curiously when she saw the chest strap in Cynthia's hand.

"It's ......," Cynthia hadn't figured out how to answer.

Eunice cried out, "I know! I know! This is the beautiful Aphrodite chest strap! Every time my mom and dad slept together, they would quietly take it with them. I asked my mom, and she said that I was still young and I could only wear it when I grew up. ”

"And where is it worn?" Avia was even more curious.

"What stupid!" Eunice looked like a jack of all trades, patted her chest, and said to her sister Avia: "Of course, it is worn under the clothes to protect this place." You see my sister has a bulging place, I have a little bit here, you haven't yet, when you grow up, you will have it, and then you can use this chest strap......"

Listening to the two younger sisters talking about the topic of inappropriate children, Cynthia was amused, but also blushed slightly, and hurriedly said: "Eunice, Avia, my sister is going to start wearing wedding clothes, can you two help my sister dress up?" ”

"Good!" The two shouted excitedly.

At that moment, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Who?!" Eunice shouted first.

The person outside the door probably didn't expect that there were other people in the house, and after a while, he carefully said, "It's me, Croto." ”

"Yikes!" Eunice suddenly screamed.

"Yikes!" Avia also called after her sister.

"Brother, you can't come in! Mom said that men can't enter the marriage room! ”

"That's what I mean about adult men." Cynthia tapped Eunice on the head, a little reprimanding her for making a fuss about it. She didn't shy away from her younger brother Croto, who she had taken care of since childhood, but tucked the chest strap under the quilt and said, "Come in, Croto." ”

Crotocatacuses walked into the room, looking cramped, watching Cynthia sitting on the edge of the red wedding bed, looking at himself with a smile, his heart was like knocking down the five-flavor bottle, he couldn't tell what it tasted like, he coughed dryly, but his voice was so dry: "Sister...... Your ...... tonight Wedding, because I am going to accompany my father in the royal palace to entertain the elders who come to the wedding feast...... Therefore, it is not possible to participate in the wedding team...... Here's the knot I gave you...... Wedding Gift ......"

After Crotocatax finished speaking, as soon as he took out the gift clipped under his armpit, he was snatched by Eunice: "Wow, what a beautiful helmet!" Eunice held it in both hands.

Indeed, it was a silvery-white Legion-style helmet, not only made more elaborately, but also with a lot of added ornamentation, which looked both beautiful and functional, except that the crown was not inserted into the hat, apparently intended for its future owner to do it himself.

"This helmet is for my sister's husband. According to my father, he was a good fighter. Eunice said, handing the helmet to Cynthia.

"Croto, thank you!" Cynthia happily accepted the gift and instructed him: "I'm leaving, you have to take care of your parents!" And also...... Look out for these little guys! ”

"Don't worry." Krotocátas smiled reluctantly, and as soon as she answered, Eunice shouted dissatisfiedly, "I'm almost growing up, I don't need anyone else to take care of me!" ”

Cynthia's smile remained unchanged, and her right hand tapped Eunice on the head again.

Seeing that Eunice deliberately covered her head and exaggerated her pain, Crotokatuques showed a rare smile: "May Cross be able to protect him like this helmet...... Always love you! Crotokataxis uttered this sentence with difficulty.

This sentence made Cynthia's tears come out of her eyes, and the bride before the wedding was always nervous, excited and sensitive. She stood up abruptly, walked over to Koloto, and gave him a tight hug.

Krotocátucks hesitated for a moment, hugged her gently, listened to her cry, and finally said from the bottom of his heart: "I wish you happiness, Cynthia!" ”

………………………………

The slave girl came to Christoya and whispered a few words, and Christoya breathed a sigh of relief.

After the slave girl left, she said to Egnes, who was sitting across from her, "Croto took that helmet and went to Cynthia's marriage room and left quickly. The slave girl said that he was calm and that nothing special had happened......"

"Sister, I'll just say it's okay. Little Chloe is so sensible and has a lot of self-control. In a little while, he will be able to completely overcome the impact of this incident on him, so you can rest assured! Agnes comforted her and said that although Crotocatatz's biological mother was Christoia, Croto had been closer to Agnes since he was a child, and he preferred to tell Agnes about some things, including that he liked Cynthia, which was first noticed by Agnes, so Agnes knew the child better.

Christoya sighed, "I hope so. You say, when Croto is an adult, should I find him a family sooner? ”

"Sister, as little Chloe, I'm afraid this matter can't be decided by you." Agnes reminded. She knew very well that she had been sent to Turii by her father without knowing it, but fortunately Artenis had the blessing......

"You're right, I'm worrying too much." Christoya tapped her forehead. Indeed, Klotto's marriage involved the stability and interests of the kingdom, and even the Senate would intervene in it.

"Sister, there's one thing I want you to refer to for me......" Agnes said with a deep groan.

"You say." Christoya was a little curious. Usually Aganice has no desires for anything other than caring about the children and Davers, and it is rare to see her look so cautious.

"For the past two years, I have been in charge of the main temple of Hera, and I feel that my energy is not as good as before. Now Cynthia is also married. I want her to come to the temple of Hera to help me and take over the position of high priest in the future......"

"Sister, as you just said, the position of the high priest of the Temple of Hera is not up to you alone, you have to consult with our husband first!" Christoya reminded her.

Agnes was stunned for a moment, then stopped talking.

Instead, Christoya covered her face with her left hand and sighed faintly: "Yes, we are all old......"

………………………………

With the company of her two younger sisters, time flies, and the night has fallen, Cynthia drank two bowls of seafood oatmeal in a row and filled her stomach.

Christoya came in and took the two little ones with her.

With the help of the slave girl, Cynthia put on her wedding makeup and became nervous again, because she knew that the wedding party was coming.

Fortunately, many Dionian citizen families abandoned the tradition of civil marriage in the Greek city-states, and the maidens before marriage had met their future husbands beforehand. Cynthia has been in love with Patroclus for many years, and she doesn't have to worry about whether her husband is ugly.

At this time, she vaguely heard the noise outside the building, and the personal slave girl also ran in, and said excitedly: "Little master, here!" Here it comes! ”

So, Cynthia hurriedly covered her wedding dress. In the waiting, she felt that the time was long.

Soon, she heard the door pushing, and then a familiar voice sounded in her ears: "Cynthia, I'm coming!" ”

She couldn't help but stand up and stretched out her hand.

A scent of myrrh lingered in her nose, and Patroclus, who was also well-groomed, approached her, took her by the hand, and led her downstairs.
