“...... Their fathers had all been killed in previous wars, which is why they became like this. ”

After listening to Macaan's explanation, Achilles realized that the group of manic children were all war orphans, so was the little girl yesterday.

"What happened to the ones I fought with yesterday?" Achilles suddenly wondered what happened to the children he beat up yesterday.

"It's all right, but an older one was slightly injured. Saying this, Makaon also glanced at Achilles in surprise.

Although I know that the son of the goddess may be a little extraordinary, but this is too ......

A ten-year-old child was beaten by a six-year-old child, who can believe this?

"Why are they robbing other people's things? Mr. Macaon, your tribe should not be poor, right?"

In terms of wealth, the tribe of Makaon is already second to none in Seli, and there is no reason why it cannot support a few children.

"Your Royal Highness, I have asked before, but they have not answered. Makaon looked helpless when he pulled his beard, after all, he was his own child, and he couldn't beat them all.

"That's fine, excuse me, Mr. Macaon. Achilles said politely to Macaan.

"You're too polite, I still have some things, so I'll take my leave first, Your Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Macaon rushed to and fro like the wind, and he was really busy during this time, and he had to run around all day, and Peleus was about the same as him.

......

The next few days were peaceful, with Pelius and Macaon going out early and returning late all day, busy with various things. Thetis usually stays at home during the day to look after the lion cubs, and occasionally goes out to see Philomena.

Little Pat came to Achilles twice in three days, and did nothing.

Achilles asks him why he doesn't stay at home if he's fine, and little Pat says it's too boring to be alone at home.

Well, it's good if you're happy.

"Patroclus, weren't you angry at Aunt Philo last time I went back?" Achilles was talking about little Pat's bruised nose and swollen face, but it had only been a few days, and he was almost fine.

"Of course not. Little Pat shook his head.

"It's weird. "Achilles scratched his chin, how can there be a fight and go back without being trained?

Forget about Thetis, why is Philomena like this, is the folk style here so fierce?

"Actually, I didn't go straight home that day. Little Pat suddenly showed a "wicked smile", "I was waiting for my dad to come back next to my house that day, and then ......"

Little Pat crackled and said a lot to the effect that Philomena was angry, but Menotius told her not to be angry, and then she was not angry.

Achilles was almost dizzy.

But then again, for a warrior like Menotios, fighting is almost a trivial matter. As long as he is not killed or maimed, it doesn't matter how fierce he beats.

"Achilles, it's almost noon, it's time for me to go back to dinner. Little Pat glanced through the window and saw that it was almost noon, and hurried to go back.

"Oh well. Achilles stood up and sent little Pat downstairs, and it was estimated that the maid of the Macaon family should also bring food.

Walking downstairs, Achilles was about to open the door when someone suddenly pushed the door in.

It's Peleus!

Achilles was stunned for a moment. It's strange that Peleus hasn't had lunch at home for the past few days, why did he suddenly come back at this point?

"Hello Uncle Peleus!" said little Pat hurriedly greeted Peleus.

"Oh, little Pat, are you going home?" Peleus walked in on the gray woolen blanket, and took off his coat, the firewood in the fireplace was burning, and the room was much hotter than outside.

"Yes. Little Pat said politely.

"By the way, your dad is home for a few days, right?"

Menotios had just finished his work in the past few days, and Peleus estimated that he had nothing to do at home.

"Yes, Uncle Peleus. ”

"Go back and tell your father, I'll invite him to come over for dinner in the evening, and ask your mother to come too. ”

"Okay. ”

Little Pat hurried home, and the maid who had come to deliver the meal also arrived.

Peleus walked to the table and sat down, beckoning to Achilles, "Come here." ”

Achilles was stunned for a moment, this was the first time Peleus took the initiative to look for him, and hurriedly walked over.

Peleus sat down, did not look up at him, poured himself a glass of wine, and then spoke: "Your uncle Telamon should be here tonight." ”

Telamon Achilles suddenly remembered the story that Ikaon had told him, and that Telamon had killed his half-brother Phocus and that Peleus was kicked out of the house with him.

"Evening ...... Behave well. ”

"Oh, I see. ”

"You eat first. Peleus said as he stood up, apparently preparing to go upstairs to call Thetis.

Achilles sits, facing a table full of dishes but has no appetite, what does Peleus mean by "behave well"?

Thetis soon came down, saw Achilles sitting motionless at the table, and said strangely, "Achilles, why don't you eat?"

"Isn't that waiting for you to come down?" said Achilles, laughing hurriedly.

"Baby son is so well-behaved, reward you with a chicken leg. ”

There's a big oily chicken leg on the plate, okay, let's eat it first.

......

In Achilles' incomprehension, the afternoon passed quickly. Peleus didn't go out in the afternoon, but Makaon came and hurried away.

By the time the sun went down in the evening, the first guests had finally arrived, and it was the little Pats.

Both the Peleus and Achilles stood at the door to greet them.

"Menotios, you're finally here. Peleus walked up and hugged little Pat's father, and the two of them had been friends on the Argo, not as polite as the average person.

Menotius smiled and joked, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and I thought you wouldn't recognize your old friends when you became king." ”

"Haha, look what you're talking about. Peleus laughed and led the guests into the house.

There might be a little more people tonight, and the dining room might not be able to sit down, so Peleus simply had dinner brought to the huge table in the hall.

Peleus sat Menotius next to him, and Thetis and Philomena, Pat the Younger, and Achilles were also grouped together.

The huge table was filled with roasted beef and mutton, and the fish soup was as abundant as the wine and fruit brought in from the south.

"Peleus, it doesn't seem like it's the beginning of the month, is it?

Menotius was amazed, for he had the impression that Peleus was not a man of extravagance.

Peleus immediately pretended to be bloody, leaned on the table and gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay...... You guys...... Eat!"

The word "eat" at the end seemed to be squeezed out of between the teeth, and it immediately made a group of people laugh.

Peleus straightened up, patted the clothes on his body, and said, "It's rare to invite you to dinner today, of course it should be grand." ”

"Then there is no need to be ......," Menotius was speaking, when Thetis suddenly stood up and poured wine for the two men, and Menotios immediately stopped and took it with both respectful hands.

Peleus took the glass that Thetis had given him, drank it down, and explained, "There may be other guests tonight, so prepare a little more." ”

"That's right. Menotius nodded, not saying anything more.

"They may be a little late, let's eat first, don't wait for them. Peleus looked at the sky and spoke to Menotios.

It gets dark very early in spring, and the moon has already risen quietly a short time after the sun has set.

Just as he was about to start, Makaon walked in with a few maids.

"Macaon, you've just arrived, and we're not waiting for you. Peleus immediately stood up and greeted him.

"Peleus, you have gone too far, I even prepared your dinner, how can you not wait for me?" said Macaon, jokingly.

Seeing Makaon coming, Menotius immediately stood up and tried to give him a seat. Peleus stretched out his hand and pressed him, and just as he was about to speak, Macaon had already found a seat beside Menotios and sat down.

Makaon touched his beard and said with a smile, "Peleus is too bad, I don't want to sit next to him, you can sit down too, Menotios." ”

Menottoston sat down a little embarrassed to sit down again, Macaon surpassed him in status, and it stands to reason that Macaon should sit next to Peleus.

"Today is a gathering of friends, so don't pay attention to those false courtesies. Peleus said to Menotios. In fact, he really doesn't care much about status and status.

"Yes, Peleus is right, we don't care about this today. Macaen echoed in agreement.

Thetis got up again and poured a glass of wine for Macaon.

"Thank you very much, beautiful Queen. Marcaon immediately stood up and took the glass with both hands, and waited for Thetis to sit down before he sat down.

The three adults drank wine and chatted while talking, Theseis and Philomena whispered and ate fruit, leaving Achilles and little Pat to attack the chicken, duck and fish, and ate with their mouths full of oil.

The maids brought by Macaon stood at a distance, and only stepped forward when it was time to serve food and pour wine.

Originally, Macaon had left a few maids for Peleus to be responsible for cleaning and cooking, but Peleus said that he didn't need it and Titis didn't like it, so Macaon immediately removed all the maids.

Since the queen didn't like it, then Peleus wouldn't keep anyone here even if he needed Macaon, and he didn't want to ask for trouble.

After three rounds of drinking, there was a sudden knock at the door, and Macaon immediately asked the maid to open the door.

Otto Medon, still in armor, strode in.

Peleus asked, "Otto Medon, is there anything wrong with you?"

"Your Majesty, the frame of the King of Salamis, has arrived at the gate of the tribe. ”
