Chapter 4: Dusty Love (3)

There was a commotion outside the forest, with footsteps and conversations.

Kareta told a maid to go to the edge of the forest to find out what they were saying, which she thought might have something to do with the noble man.

After a while, the maid returned and told her that there were many unidentified men chasing a man named Hector, and that he was wandering out of the woods because he did not dare to enter the realm of the gods.

Now, they have been withdrawn.

"Hector?"

Carreta and Artemis spoke almost in unison, and once again they looked at the down-and-out young man lying on the ground, somewhat incredulous.

Artemis made a "tsk" sound, and the way she looked at him and the tone of her voice couldn't be more contemptuous, "This man is the second prince of Troy?

Kareta knows something about his background. At the time of the war between the two countries, she was in the palace of the Ten Thousand Colds in Northern Europe as an attendant of the god Odin, and she had heard rumors of war somewhat.

Hector was the younger brother of the Trojan king Paris, and he was said to be wise and brave.

It was precisely because of him that although Troy's army was one-tenth of that of the Greeks, its city was still impregnable after nine years of siege.

Artemis instructed the servants to bring her unicorn, and she looked like she was leaving.

"Don't you want to punish him?" asked Karetta.

"Just kidding!"

She replied with a sneer:

"I don't want to get involved in a boring war, which involves the interests of some gods, and it is not good for me to offend any of them. Anyway, if he stays in this labyrinthine forest, he will die sooner or later!"

She patted the beast on the back and said to her female companion below, "Come up, and we will go back to Olympus together." ”

Kareta still stood still, she looked down and thought about it, and immediately replied decisively: "You go back first, I will stay a little longer." ”

"You don't want to save him, do you?"

Artemis immediately understood her thoughts, and immediately gave a different opinion:

"Come on, ignore him! Didn't you initially express your neutrality in the battle of Troy, as I did, and you were willing to support the Trojan side as your new master Venus wanted, which would cause you unnecessary trouble!"

"It doesn't matter if I save him or not, and if you want to kill him, does that mean you want to support the Greek army?"

Artemis saw that his female companion was a little unhappy, so he stopped. She tilted her head helplessly, shook off the reins, and urged the holy beast to gallop away in the direction of the holy mountain.

All that was left in the forest was Kareta and the handmaidens she had brought, as well as the prince, who was still unconscious.

The girls moved his body under a large tree in unison. Then, the intense rescue work unfolded...

In the afternoon, he finally opened his eyes with difficulty.

Slowly sat up, leaning his back against the rough trunk of the tree, his eyes in front of him in a peaceful green, and the cheerful and clear birdsong in his ears.

"You're awake, Prince Hector. "A soft and gentle female voice. Then, a bright figure of a girl jumped into his eyes.

Sixteen or seventeen years old, with long light blonde hair reflecting white and moist skin.

On the gentle goose egg face, a pair of bright apricot eyes are full of compassion, and the ruddy and small lips are smiling, and the posture is graceful and sacred.

"You... Is it...?"

He stared at her, always feeling like she was coming from another world, one that would never be out of reach for him.

She saw a deep tiredness in his dark brown eyes, so she approached him and crouched down, stretching out a fair, delicate hand to his chest.

A lilac halo appeared, flashing around the palm. He felt a warm current of kindness pouring into his heart, and after driving away the intense exhaustion around him, he regained his vitality.

"My name is Karete. ”

She smiled at him, "Should you feel better now?"

"Karete?"

He exclaimed, and at the same time looked at the girl in front of him again.

"You're just... Ambassadors of Eros?"

She simply replied with a gentle and friendly smile.

"So, you saved me?"

Only then did he realize that the pain on his body had long since disappeared, and when he looked down, the scars had disappeared without a trace, and there were no scars.

This is thanks to Olympusri's secret medicated oil. It was originally brought by Carreta to prepare for an accident while hunting for her partner, but she didn't want to save him.

This medicine is very magical, as soon as you put a drop on the wound area, the bleeding will stop immediately, and after a short while, the wound will heal intact.

After healing the prince's wounds, Carette also deliberately wiped the remaining blood stains from his body and smoothed his messy brown hair.

At that time, she found that he originally had a handsome face.

He should have realized where he was, as Kareta had seen an unbelievable look on his face.

After accepting the reality, he said, "Please convey your gratitude to the goddess Venus on my behalf." ”

It seems that he mistakenly believed that Eros had instructed his messenger to rescue him, to which she did not explain much to him, but asked:

"You're the royal brother of Paris, aren't you supposed to be on the front line now, why did you come to Greece?"

This has always been a problem that has plagued Karete, and she is even doubting the true identity of the man in front of her.

Hector didn't answer immediately, he crossed his arms over his chest, his eyebrows furrowed, and his lowered gaze became very serious. Carette began to regret his presumptuous and abrupt questioning.

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you tell the messenger, perhaps, you will think that my words are very inappropriate. ”

After a moment of silence, he was finally willing to tell the truth:

Ten years ago, his brother awarded the goddess of love, a golden apple, a symbol of beauty, and in exchange, he got his wish for the famous Greek beauty Helen. But it also seems to bring infinite calamity to Troy..."

He raised his gaze to Kareta and continued:

From the day Helen moved into the palace, some of her actions were simply contrary to the Trojan policy. Some ministers and I have advised him many times, but my brother has only blindly tolerated Helen without any restraint. His heart was so captured by her that he would immediately put anyone to death if their words or deeds caused harm to his wife. After the outbreak of war, Helen repeatedly proposed peace with the enemy. This time, my brother accepted her suggestion and sent me as an envoy to Sparta to negotiate an armistice with King Menila. ”
