"But I'm not tired now."
"Really? Then what are you going to do?"
"I want to see how long it takes Pericles to help me send someone over."
The Grateful Slave
(The thesis defense is over this month, and the old book is also about to be officially completed, so this month I will try to update the book "Goddess" to 18 words to make up for the promise I didn't fulfill last month)
Anyway, you are a distinguished guest.
Even if Pericles disliked me, he had to serve me patiently.
This is Hilde's willfulness.
Anyway, Pericles didn't dare to say anything.
Pericles was also very angry now, mainly because Hilde came and treated him like a servant. But Pericles couldn't say anything, after all, Hilde was the queen of the Byzantine Kingdom and came from afar. Although Pericles was the archon of Athens, when receiving such an important foreign guest, the Athenians had to show their generosity, so they had to do this.
After Pericles returned to his mansion, he quickly summoned all the servants. At this time, Rhodes, who was staying in Pericles' mansion, also saw Pericles, who was furious. She walked over with some concern, and asked with concern: "You seem to be very angry, what happened?"
"What could possibly happen? It's still that little bastard Hilde!"
Pericles was so angry that he spoke without thinking.
Hilde really made him angry this time.
"What happened?"
"Hey... Hilde has always had a very good relationship with the slaves at home, so when I came back this time, I kindly invited Hilde to come home and take a look at the slaves. But she not only rejected my invitation, but also asked me to deliver the slaves personally. Athens has never had such a strange request since its founding."
Seeing Pericles' angry look, Rhode didn't know how to comfort her. For Rhode, she actually admired Hilde's character of getting along well with these slaves. Moreover, Rhode had lived in Pericles' mansion for a while, and knew what Hilde was like in the past from the slaves.
So, Rhodes just tilted his head.
"Then send it over?"
"Then you say that too..."
"Because, I don't know what's wrong with this matter... Well, I really don't understand. If there is anything wrong with what I said, please give me some advice." Rhodes was also a little worried. He looked at Pericles, afraid that he would say something that would make Pericles very angry.
And Pericles just sighed.
"It's nothing, actually... Apart from this incident, there were other things that happened. In short, the conflict between Hilde and I will definitely not stop during this period of time. She will definitely find a chance to torture me. But be patient for a while. After being patient for a while, everything will be over when Hilde leaves Athens."
Pericles was mentally prepared.
This girl Hilde.
There's bound to be trouble again.
When leaving Athens, Hilde gave a passionate speech, which made the people of Athens think that Pericles was abandoning his wife and children. Although Pericles really did so, he still didn't want this incident to have a stigmatizing effect on him. Therefore, if Hilde continued to make trouble, Pericles would have to be prepared to deal with it, especially now that Hilde was the oracle of Athena and the king of the Byzantine Kingdom. Such an identity would make Hilde's voice very important.
Just thinking about it made Pericles despair.
This is too uncomfortable.
Why did you have to come to Athens?
Pericles really couldn't understand this matter.
But now Pericles had no choice but to send his slaves to the mansion. When the slaves heard that they were going to see Hilde, they were all very happy, as if Hilde was their master. It was precisely because of this scene that Rhode became more curious about Hilde. What kind of woman could make the slaves love her so much?
So, Rhodes asked, "When can I see Sister Hilde?"
"Wait, then."
Pericles suddenly felt a little worried.
"Rod, there is something I must make clear to you. Hilde may seem very nice on the surface, but in fact, she has a lot of evil intentions. So if you want to meet her, don't believe anything she says to you. You must not be influenced by Hilde's words."
"Yes, I understand..."
Facing Pericles' repeated warnings.
Rhodes could only nodded.
Soon, the slaves of Pericles arrived at the mansion. Sophia was very happy to see her former companions and waited at the door of the mansion early. When she saw a group of slaves in white linen robes walking towards her from a distance, Sophia waved her arms happily.
"Sissi, they're coming!"
"Yes, I saw it."
Seeing Sophia so happy, Hilde just smiled faintly and didn't say much. The slaves who came over also saw Hilde and Sophia from a distance. Several female slaves immediately rushed over excitedly, scaring the guards around Hilde so much that they almost wanted to pull out their accessories to protect Hilde.
Hilde waved her hand gently to block the guards, then took a step forward. At this time, the female slaves stumbled in front of Hilde, then knelt down with a plop.
"Finally I get to meet you!"
"Miss!!!"
These slaves knelt in front of Hilde one after another, their emotions so excited that they were almost unprecedented.
Hilde walked up to them with a smile, then reached out her hand and pulled up a little maid standing in front of her.
"I haven't seen you for two years. You look even more beautiful now."
"Miss, Miss..."
The maid's eyes were filled with tears.
Seeing her so sad, Hilde reached out and gently hugged the maid. Soon, the maid burst into tears and threw herself into Hilde's soft arms. At this time, Hilde looked at the other slaves and said with a smile, "It has been two years. I am very happy to see that you are still healthy. During this time, I will ask you to take care of my food and daily life in Athens."
"Yes, Miss!"
Hilde's appeal is truly terrifying.
These slaves were all moved to tears and their excitement was beyond words.
Under such circumstances, Hilde welcomed the slaves back to the mansion. At this time, Sophia was standing at the door of the mansion, not knowing what she was thinking, and was reluctant to come back.
(I've drunk too much, so I'll update one chapter for now...)
The guy who starts to get jealous in the tenth section of the fifth tune
Hilde looked at Sophia a little strangely.
So he walked over with a smile and came in front of Sophia.
"what's wrong?"
"..."
Only then did Hilde notice Sophia's expression.
Now, Sophia was fuming and frowning, and it was obvious that she was angry. Hilde didn't need to think too much to know that this guy must be jealous, so she became like this. Hilde couldn't help laughing, and then pinched Sophia's butt, and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Shouldn't you be happy to see your old friend? Are you jealous because of this?"
"Xia, Xixi..."
Sophia quickly dodged.
"Someone is watching."
"Who's watching?" Hilde glanced at the guards beside him.
The guard quickly turned his head away and pretended he saw nothing.
“No one saw it.”
"I...I'm not jealous."
"You're not jealous. Why were you standing here angrily just now?" Hilde continued to ask.
Sophia turned her head away embarrassedly: "I, I just want to see the scenery of Athens!"
"Oh... to see the scenery." Hilde smiled gently, then walked to Sophia's side, hugged Sophia in his arms, and looked at the Acropolis not far away. "So, I'll go with you."
"Xixi, don't, don't do this..."
Sophia tried to escape.
But Sophia could not resist Hilde's strength.
Hilde came close to Sophia and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be so jealous. We have been together for so many years. Although I like to tease them, have I ever done anything too excessive? Besides, they are slaves, and you are not. You belong to me only, the princess of the Byzantine Kingdom. So, you are different from them, why are you jealous of them? Shouldn't they be jealous of you?"
"Um……"
Sophia lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't be like this."
"What's this?"
Hilde couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"I just like this jealousy. In fact, I'm quite puzzled. Why don't you seem to be so jealous of Xerxes... I've never asked you about this matter. What do you think of Xerxes?" Hilde just threw out the doubts in her heart. When Xerxes and Hilde were having fun every night, Hilde actually felt guilty. After all... she came from an era where monogamy was taken for granted. Although ancient Greece also practiced monogamy, but... the ancient Greeks were more open.
Like having multiple partners, or group sex.
The ancient Greeks did a lot.
But Hield doesn't think that this is a matter of course.
So, I have always been concerned about Sophia's attitude.
Sophia was stunned for a moment. She hesitated for a while, and finally spoke as if she had made up her mind: "Well... I don't know about this. When I saw His Majesty Xerxes, I felt... as if this kind of thing was natural. After all... His Majesty Xerxes is so powerful. She is a demigod and the emperor of the Persian Empire. Such a powerful person actually loves you like I do. When I think of this, I will not be unhappy at all."
"What if Xerxes wants to take me away?"
Hilde asked deliberately.
Sophia's response almost made Hilde burst out laughing.
"If that's the case, I wish you happiness."
"You...can't you be a little more assertive?"
"The main thing is that His Majesty Xerxes is really amazing... She's powerful, beautiful, and has a better figure than me. Compared to her, I'm like a country girl." Sophia lowered her head in embarrassment, like a bullied wife. "If it were anyone else, I might be angry, but Xerxes, I really can't be angry..."
"Oh, that's right too."
Hilde was speechless.
This little girl...
Xerxes' influence was too strong now. In ancient Greece, no one thought they could be better than the Persian emperor Xerxes. Sophia was understandable to think so. Moreover, Hilde was a little hesitant. She was not sure what Xerxes wanted. If he wanted Hilde, then he could let Hilde go to Persia, although Hilde did not want such a thing to happen. But it really happened, and Hilde had no choice but to submit.
But Xerxes did not do so.
And the Byzantine Kingdom Development Plan was also started.
Maybe for Xerxes... this is a game?
She gave Hilde a lot of free assistance. Although Xerxes was very tough on the matter of Ionia, he basically responded to her requests. As long as Hilde was willing, she would give her money, and she would give her a lot of money... This situation made Hilde very speechless. She always felt like she was being kept.
"Sissi, will you go with His Majesty Xerxes in the future?"
At this time, Sophia grabbed Hilde.
"By then, will you no longer want me?"
"Hmm? Ah... Don't worry, it won't be like that. I won't let this happen to us." Hilde reached out and touched Sophia's head. "Don't worry, baby, you don't have to worry too much. As long as I'm here, this matter will never happen in this direction. If Xerxes uses force, I'm not afraid. The worst that can happen is that both sides will die... For now, let's leave it like this. Xerxes is indeed a great help to our Byzantine Kingdom. She has helped us a lot, so that we have the world we have now..."
"Yes, Sissi."
Sophia smiled and nodded.
"You don't have to worry. His Majesty Xerxes probably doesn't mean that."
"Hmm? Why, from what you said, it seems like you know something about this?"
"I won't tell you this." Sophia turned around and walked towards the mansion. "This is a secret between us. As your woman, I have to keep it secret."
"Oh……"
Hilde looked at Sophia and saw that she was happy again.
I couldn't help but feel suspicious.
It seems that Xerxes must have said something to Sophia.
What on earth could these two guys talk about when they get together... Hilde was still quite curious. However, she didn't plan to ask further. For this matter, let's just talk about Yang Zui first, it doesn't matter if they are together.
