Chapter 156: Princess Athena of Athens Appears

The unexpected appearance of Persephone and Insmene directly disrupted Luo Yin's original plan.

"Even if Tyndareus really invited them, they don't have to come!"

As soon as Luo Yin finished his complaints, two more people walked through the palace gate and into the courtyard.

The surrounding suitors exclaimed again.

Because one of these two people was the young king of Skylos, Lycomedes, and walking side by side with Lycomedes was Thetis, who was wearing a gorgeous white dress, a golden belt around her waist, and silver strap sandals on her feet.

The reason why the suitors exclaimed was that Thetis's goddess beauty was not hidden by the veil.

Lycomedes walked to the right side of the courtyard, and after Thetis walked to the middle of the courtyard, one of the suitors said in surprise.

"Is the princess who came with Lycomedes his sister?"

"I remember that Lycomedes only has brothers but no sisters..."

Walking to the blanket in the middle of the courtyard, Thetis turned around and looked at the suitors before sitting down.

Although Luo Yin and Thetis' eyes met for a moment, Luo Yin could not be sure whether the person Thetis was looking at was him.

Because Luo Yin always believed that Thetis of this era just regarded himself as a stranger.

In the middle of the courtyard.

After Thetis sat on the blanket, Persephone took the initiative to greet him.

"It's been a long time since we last met! Thetis, why did you come to Sparta?"

"Because I was invited by Tyndareus, the king of Sparta."

Thetis and Persephone looked at each other and said.

"Now I am the sister of Lycomedes, the king of Skuros."

"Should I treat you as the princess of Skuros? Unfortunately, Skuros is just a small city-state with a population of several thousand, which is completely incomparable to the Pylos region I rule."

As soon as Persephone finished teasing, Insmene said in a dissatisfied tone.

"Are you a child? I rule the stronger Kingdom of Thebes, but I am not as proud as you."

Persephone immediately turned her eyes to Insmene.

"Although the Kingdom of Thebes was once one of the three major powers alongside the Kingdom of Athens and the Kingdom of Mycenae, it was all a thing of the past. And in this era when food is extremely important, the Pylos region, which is rich in food, is the richest region."

"Don't quarrel!"

Helen said with the dignity of a hostess at this time.

"No matter how prominent your status is, you should now follow the etiquette of guests and get along with each other in a friendly manner."

After Persephone and Insmene looked at each other without showing any weakness, Insmene looked at Helen and said.

"Since the host has already spoken, I certainly don't want to be a rude guest."

Persephone snorted arrogantly, and Artemeta changed the subject.

"Sisters! Now the suitors are staring at us like hungry wolves. Who do you think will attract their attention the most?"

"It must be me!"

Helen said without hesitation.

"Because I am the most beautiful girl."

Atalanta said with a faint smile.

"Helen! Although you have the beauty of a goddess, you are still a child. Thetis has a beauty that is not inferior to yours, and she is at the age of marriage. I think she can attract more men's attention."

"Atalanta! You-"

When Helen was about to get angry at Atalanta, Persephone suddenly took off her veil and said.

"I must be the most beautiful in the eyes of those men!"

As Persephone showed her perfect and delicate face, the suitors immediately exclaimed.

Even Inosmene and Clytemnestra, who were also girls, were shocked by Persephone's beauty.

Insmene frowned and took off her veil.

On the left side of the courtyard.

Seeing Insmene's face, the suitors couldn't help but exclaim again.

"Are we attending a banquet for humans or a banquet for gods?"

"Helen, Insmene, Thetis, Persephone - there are four unmarried princesses at this banquet who are like goddesses."

"Inosmene, Atalanta, Clytemnestra, and Artemeta are inferior, but they also have the beauty of goddesses."

Just when the suitors were happy about the increase in the number of marriage targets, the elderly Spartan King Tyndareus finally appeared and sat on his throne with the help of two palace maids and said.

"Dear distinguished guests, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. In order to hand over my two important daughters to husbands who are worthy of trust, I sent envoys to various city-states to invite you to come. I didn't expect that after my servants counted, there were 49 suitors who arrived at the palace before noon--"

Tyndarius hadn't finished speaking when two more people entered the courtyard from the palace gate.

The two people walking in front were Pallas Athena, who had blue hair and blue eyes, wore a blue and white dress, a golden belt around her waist, a golden strap sandal on her left foot, and a silver strap sandal on her right foot.

Because Pallas Athena, with her full aura, was like the most noble queen, Tyndareus couldn't help but swallow the rest of his words back in his stomach, staring blankly at the goddess who attracted everyone's attention.

Behind Pallas Athena, followed the young King of Athens, Menestheus.

After Pallas Athena walked directly to the middle of the courtyard, Menestheus spoke like a servant who cleaned up after his master.

"King Tyndareus! I'm so sorry I'm late. I'm Menastheus, King of Athens, and I'm the 50th suitor."

Now the Kingdom of Athens is the most powerful city-state in Greece.

Although Menastheus broke the rule that suitors must arrive before noon, Tyndareus still recognized his identity as a suitor.

"King Menastheus, you're just a little late. I heard you don't have a sister, and I'm curious about the girl who came with you-"

"She's my sister Athena..."

Menastheus looked at Pallas Athena's back with an unnatural expression and said.

"Although you haven't heard of her, she is indeed a member of the Athenian royal family and the first heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Athens."

After that, Menastheus walked to the left side of the courtyard.

"Athena?"

After hearing what Menastheus said, the suitor, who was staring at Pallas Athena, couldn't help but say.

"Not only does she have the same name as the patron saint of Athens, but she also has the beauty of a goddess. Is this the great goddess Pallas Athena who has come before us?"

"She just happened to have the same name as the goddess!"

"Pallas, the uncle of King Theseus of Athens, also has the same name as the goddess. Does anyone think he is the incarnation of the goddess Pallas Athena?"

Because there are examples of human names being the same as the names of gods, the suitors did not ultimately regard Pallas Athena as the patron saint of Athens.

Luo Yin, who had seen Pallas Athena many times, recognized her identity at first sight.
