A large amount of Roman land was divided among the Macedonian soldiers who had shed their blood in the war. Everyone in the expeditionary corps was rewarded with wealth and land. The magnates of Rome had lost their economic base, and their influence was diminishing.

Antigone was relieved to see that Rome had also cleaned up. He was now bent on cultivating Aloyous, passing on to him the lessons he had learned from his life; At the same time, he intensified the cultivation of Ducarus, so that they could both be one inside and one outside.

Recently, the old king always felt that his energy could not keep up, and he could not do what he wanted. He needs a successor who can take charge of himself, and he is very optimistic about his two kings and grandsons, and maybe without him, Aloyos and Ducarus will be enough to take charge of the affairs of the Western Front.

In addition, he was eager to return to his native Macedonia, but the thought of having to travel long distances across the sea discouraged this idea.

He didn't know if his current body would be able to withstand the bumps of the long distance.

Aloyos also grew to see the old king's homesickness, and Antigone must have longed to see his family. Therefore, he formally invited Queen Thessara, his wife and children, and Gueras to come to Rome for a reunion. At first, Aloyos hesitated, but finally decided to invite Sylphine to come, this was his promise to her, and he was ready to be honest about the situation after the meeting.

When he received the letter, Garas was glad to hear it, but he could not leave Thessaloniki himself, and the heart of the kingdom could not be left without an owner.

Therefore, he sent his third brother Damasus to accompany the queen and others to Rome.

The ceremony to welcome the royal family was pompous, and King Antigone was also present, and he went up to romantically embrace his queen Thesara.

Aloyos and Ducarus came up to greet the queen, and they received a kiss from their grandmother.

After that, the king embraced Damasos, took him by the arm, and said:

"Time flies, I think you were still a hairy boy when you were sent to Corinth for the first time to act on us. Later, we fought side by side against the invasion of the Roman army. Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. Our intimate cooperation is not a complete victory.

Now you're mature and fully adult.

How is southern Greece, is everything stable? ”

"Yes, Father. Thanks to your blessings, Greece is now stable and prosperous. ”

Antigone greeted Sylphine again, and he leaned over and picked up Podare Ríos, who was by then a six-year-old boy, and was a mischievous boy.

"Podare Ríos, hahaha, my good boy. You're my fourth-generation descendant, and it's exciting to look at you. ”

As he spoke, he kissed him again.

"Let's go into the palace and see the palace that the Romans have built for us."

He led the group towards the palace with Podare Rios in his arms.

Sylphin came to Aloyos' side and looked at him affectionately, and Aloyous gave her a tight hug. Sylphine saw that there was one more person beside her husband, who was handsome and beautiful, and she had already guessed in her heart. She looked at her, and Venus hurried over to her, and said:

"Say hello to the crown princess."

When Sylphine saw that the little girl was so well-behaved, he felt pity. They are all beautiful women with outstanding appearances, and they may have a little bit of sympathy.

"Excuse me, who is this sister?"

"My dear, I want to confess to you that this is the woman I married in Rome. But you have to believe in my sincerity for you, it's just a political need.

With a noble temperament, Sylfin calmly replied:

"I'm going to wish you a happy wedding!"

Aloyos bowed his head and remained silent, knowing that Sylphine must have blamed him in his heart.

"Please give me more advice and bear with me in the future."

Aloyos was preoccupied, and although he missed his wife very much, he now had something unspeakable.

Thinking about my wife being alone at home, lonely and lonely, and having to take Podare Rios with her, it's too hard. So I felt guilty.

In fact, Sylfen understands more than blames in his heart at the moment. It is not easy to fight alone outside, and it is good to have a woman who knows cold and hot by her side to take care of her. Besides, no matter what, I saw my husband who I missed day and night, and he was complete and healthy. It really reassures her. Isn't that what she relies on?

His eyes were obviously avoiding Silfin, and after a few words of greeting, he started talking to the third uncle.

"Isn't Rome a democratic state system, how did you build a royal palace?"

Damasos.

"Haha, those pedantic bureaucrats of the Roman Senate, their desires will never be satisfied. They deceived the people that it was a democratic system, but in fact it had begun to transform into an imperial system, and no, the imperial palace had already been built. But now it is only the residence of the noble Macedonian king. ”

Aloyos.

"Well, the Romans were very thoughtful. Prepare Qionglou Yuyu for me. Their ambitions are really not small. ”

Ducarros.

The king ordered a one-day feast to entertain relatives from afar. For him at this moment, his family is the most important thing.

Finally, it was time to go to bed at night, when Podare Rios was asleep. Aloyos and Sylphine sat opposite each other, as if neither wanted to break the peace.

Aloyos tried first, and he knelt down on one knee before his wife, and said to her gently:

"My beloved wife Silken, my affection for you is evident, and my original intention for you has always been unswerving. I took Venus as a concubine, and it was purely political. I......

"You...... You, you, I'll see, it must be you who see other girls born beautifully, and you can't control yourself to keep it for yourself. ”

Sylphine joked, and poked him in the head with her slender jade finger.

Aloyos was anxious, "No, no, my wife, it's really not. Do I want to show you my heart? ”

"Okay, I'm kidding you, didn't you trick me into getting a safe and secure island of Crete in the first place. At that time, we were all young. Now you are 25 and I am 23, and they have grown into adults. Even our children are 6 years old.

You also have difficulties, you men consider the overall situation, and we women have to support it. Who made me a stupid woman love you infatually. I understand you how much you have suffered and how tired you have been when you are fighting alone. ”

"Wife, you are the most beautiful thing God has given me, and I will be good to you for the rest of my life. In the next life, I will also be married to you. ”

"I'm worried now, now that you have two people, will you be distracted and stop loving me for the sake of that 17-year-old slim little goblin."

"Hey, don't think about my wife, my heart will always belong to you. I'm sure I'll leave at least half of you both with you. But you two also need to be friendly. ”

"I talked to her today, it's not easy for my sister, following you is equivalent to entrusting you with her life, I think she loves you a lot.

You have to be responsible. I'll take her with me too, my seventeen-year-old little sister is still too immature. ”

"How can you tell she's in love with me?"

"You don't understand the affairs of our women."

Aloyos...

"Rest early."

"Huh."

Venus had been favored by Aloyos in every way two days before, but tonight she was suddenly alone in a room, feeling cold and stuffy.

She wiped away tears aggrievedly. The most important thing is to hear Aloyos say during the day that marrying her is for politics, and this is purely a political marriage. These words made her sad.

"This ruthless dead ghost, doesn't he love me at all?

The two of them are really a good match, and in the end, the original match has a husband and wife in every move.

Besides, my sister is a princess, and what am I? If he doesn't love me, is it going to be suppressed by the original wife all the time? ”

The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and the bed was cold.

"I'm the eldest lady of the Roman elite class, and now my family's power is no longer reliable......

But when she thought of Aloyos' handsome face, she felt a warm current in her heart. Although they didn't get along for long, she believed that she wouldn't recognize the wrong person. The Macedonian prince was a man of affection and righteousness, and he would not have been so cruel to me. Thinking like this, Venus finally fell asleep with peace of mind.

Aloyos finally didn't have to worry about the war, but he was busy crisscrossing between his two beloved wives and concubines.

He wasn't a master of the love scene, and he was not good at it at all. This time I was dizzy.

One day at the backroom party, Ducarus quipped: "It's really not easy for the eldest brother, and I will marry a daughter-in-law in the future." ”

"And you're kidding me." slapped this kid on the head,

"After a while, let your sister-in-law help you find a daughter-in-law, and become a daughter-in-law in the family, and see if you will talk like this when the time comes."

"I'm only 15 years old, and I'm not mentally prepared for this kind of thing."

Everyone leaned back and fell in laughter.

Four members of the Macedonian royal family sit together in Rome. Brothers work together to break gold. No amount of Romanesque intrigue can defeat them.

The Roman Peninsula gradually returned to its former tranquility. The people of Rome accepted the new regime and lived in peace. Social fairness, legal justice.

The land soon had its former life.
