Chapter 196 My Brother Should Cherish Me More

Ariadne said to Theseus and Phaedra without hesitation.

"As long as you are not blind, you can see that I am my brother's woman."

Hearing Ariadne admit their relationship, Theseus said in disbelief.

"Ariadne, I don't believe you will change your heart so quickly. You helped me kill the Minotaur and left Crete with me because you fell in love with me at first sight - just like Medea fell in love with Inason."

I didn't expect Theseus to want to pester me, Ariadne said angrily.

"Human, don't you have any self-awareness? You actually think that I will fall in love with you at first sight, then tell me what merits you have that are worthy of my love for you? If it weren't for the sword I gave you, you would be killed by the Minotaur. If it weren't for the ball of thread I gave you, you would be trapped to death in the maze. Even if Perseus and Hercules are heroes who rely on the protection of gods, at least they are not useless people who eat women's soft food. And you are just like Yin Asong. All your achievements were accomplished with the help given to you by women. Like How can you be so confident that I will fall in love with you at first sight, you are such an incompetent waste? "

"Before I went to Crete, I once offered sacrifices to the goddess of love Aphrodite, so Aphrodite will definitely make you fall in love with me at first sight. Just like Aphrodite made Medea fall in love with Yin Asong ten years ago. "

"Ah! It seems that you also know that you don't have the charm to make me fall in love with you, so I can only hope that Aphrodite will help you like she helped Yin Asong. "

Ariadne showed a playful sneer and teased Theseus.

"It's a pity that you Greeks who are frogs in the well don't know that I am a more powerful goddess than Aphrodite in the far east. "

As a bride, Phaedra couldn't stand her husband pestering her sister on the wedding day, and said to Theseus with dissatisfaction.

"My dear Theseus, you said I was the only woman you loved deeply. You abandoned Sister Ariadne because you didn't love her at all."

"I was threatened by the gods at that time, so I abandoned her..."

Theseus explained guiltily, looking at Ariadne with reluctance.

In the myths made up by humans hundreds of years later, Calypso, the goddess of Ogygia Island, not only took the initiative to pay for Odysseus, but also wanted to share eternal life with Odysseus. However, Odysseus was unmoved and insisted on returning to his hometown for his wife who was about 40 years old - that was because it was just a made-up story.

As a proverb says, a beggar says he is willing to give up millions of wealth because he has no money at all, and a king says he is unwilling to give up millions of wealth because he really has so much wealth.

Odysseus is like that beggar. He was able to refuse the goddess's offer because the story was just made-up.

Anyone with a normal brain would definitely choose the goddess without hesitation, between choosing to become a couple with the eternally young and beautiful goddess and share eternal life, or to return to his hometown and spend the rest of his life with his 40-year-old wife.

If Luo Yin himself encountered this choice, he would definitely choose the beautiful goddess who could make him immortal by spending seven years with him, rather than the strange wife who had been separated for twenty years after two years of companionship and was now old and ugly.

Theseus wanted to reunite with Ariadne on the wedding day, of course not because of Ariadne's beauty, but because of Ariadne's goddess-like ability.

Marrying Phaedra would only allow Theseus to get a beautiful vase for childbirth.

With the goddess-like Ariadne, Theseus would not only have a wife more beautiful than Phaedra, but also complete various heroic deeds with the help of Ariadne, making the Kingdom of Athens stronger.

"Dear Ariadne, I am willing to sincerely apologize to you. As long as you come back to me, I can make you my bride today."

Hearing Theseus' words, Ariadne showed off to Luo Yin with a sweet and bright smile.

"Brother, you see! No matter if it's a male god or a human king, there are as many men who want me as they want, so brother should cherish me more."

Seeing that Ariadne used him as a tool to show off her charm to Luo Yin, Theseus showed an angry expression, but he was still unwilling to lose Ariadne like this.

Luo Yin hugged Ariadne's slender waist and held her in his arms, then said to Theseus.

"Theseus! I'm here to attend your wedding today, so I don't want to violate guest etiquette and do rude behavior. If you continue to entangle my woman, the Kingdom of Thebes and the Kingdom of Athens will once again go to war."

"Is Ariadne an important woman for you to declare war on Athens? Please don't forget that Athens is now the strongest city-state, and Athena, the patron goddess of Athens, is the strongest goddess among the gods."

"If you talk nonsense again, I will turn your wedding into your funeral today."

Faced with Luo Yin's threat, Theseus could only suppress his unwillingness and walked with Phaedra to the statue of Athena at the door of the hall.

At noon, the wedding of Theseus and Phaedra officially began after the royal family and nobles who were there to witness the wedding filled the courtyard.

A priestess who served Athena stood in front of the goddess' statue and offered marriage blessings to Theseus and Phaedra on behalf of the goddess Athena, and then asked the two to make a sacred marriage vow.

Under the witness of everyone, Theseus said with a sunny smile.

"In the witness of gods and humans, I swear to always love my wife Phaedra and never betray our marriage."

Phaedra also said with a happy smile.

"Please all the goddesses and the women present bear witness to me that I will always love my husband Theseus deeply and bear children for him as my wife."

The guests who witnessed the vows applauded the two with blessings.

Ariadne applauded her sister Phaedra and looked at Luo Yin expectantly.

"Brother, when do you plan to hold our wedding and make me your wife who will sign a sacred vow with you?"

Luo Yin held Ariadne's little hand and said seriously.

"When I got back to Thebes, I started preparing for the wedding."

After the wedding of Theseus and Phaedra was completed, the newlyweds began to interact with each of their guests.

When the two came to Luo Yin and Ariadne, Theseus said unwillingly.

"Dear Ariadne, have you ever reconsidered? Haemon already has Antigone as his fiancée, and if you choose to be with me, I will definitely treat you and Phaedra equally."

Phaedra did not stop Theseus.

Because she had already completed her wedding to Theseus and became the head wife, even if Ariadne wanted to be with Theseus, she could only become a concubine with a status below her.

Luo Yin looked at Theseus angrily and funny and joked.

"Theseus, your marriage vows just now are still ringing in my ears, and now you are saying this to Ariadne?"

"We are all men, why do you have to pretend?"

Theseus said righteously.

"As long as I don't shake Phaedela's status as the head wife, no matter how many side wives and lovers I have, it won't be considered a betrayal of my marriage vows. Will you stop contacting women other than your head wife after making the marriage vows?"

Faced with this problem, Luo Yin was speechless.

Because Theseus was just eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, the girls around Luo Yin had already been able to get together and play mahjong together.
