Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"It's so fast, I remember when you went to Enona to take office, Isafina was just a few months old, and she didn't even speak, just knowing to cry. At that time I would advise you to keep Isafina Come down, your aunt Doreen just gave birth to Andreas, and she has enough milk to feed her two children, but you just don’t agree... Unexpectedly, six years later, Isafina has grown up With a big girl, Alex has become a little man!" Antonius said with a sigh of laughter: "If your mother can see all this, she will be very happy!"

Yasisters was silent for a while, and said: "Yes, uncle, you took me to be a mercenary. I never expected to live like this today, thanks to Your Majesty!"

Antonius froze for a moment and then raised his glass: "Come on, let's get a glass of His Majesty Daveus!"

"it is good!"

After drinking this glass of wine, the Sikel slave girl next to her was busy filling up Yasisters, and then leaned towards Yasisters again.

Yasistus glanced at her, and she immediately sat back again.

Antonios looked in his eyes and chuckled: "Assi, Doreen is accompanying your wife in the main building to choose gold and silver jewelry from Carthage. Rest assured, she won't come to the courtyard."

"It has nothing to do with Tina, it's just that I don't like it myself." Yasistmus said blankly.

Antonios froze again, looking at the look on the opposite side of Asistes. He suddenly pushed away the beautiful Seakell slave in her arms and said, "Go down."

"Adult!" the female slave shouted, leaning against him again.

"Go down!" Antonios raised his face, and the slave girl no longer dared to act coquettishly and left obediently.

"You go too!" Antonios pointed to the slave girl beside Yasistus.

After both of them left, Antonios said in a deep voice: "Yasi, you have been feeling awkward when you came to me today, are you angry with me?"

"Uncle, I haven't stepped down from Enona, I heard that you and a group of Sicilian veterans proposed in the veteran's court to let me serve as the chief executive of Naxos?" Since Antonios opened his words, Yassi Stace asked directly, no longer covering up.

"This is what happened." Antonios nodded and admitted: "Don't blame uncle for not consulting with you in advance. That's because the Crotonians also wanted to infest Naxos. Why did they do it! In the Southern War, Without our rescue from Dionysia, they would have finished!"

"Krotone is now the kingdom's territory," Yasistes reminded.

"Naxos was exchanged for blood and life by soldiers of the First Legion. A group of cowards will never be allowed to be contaminated!" Antonios said angrily, looking at Yasistes: "And Yassie, Your resignation time coincides with that of Stromboli, just without delay, you can take office directly, otherwise you can only wait for the next vacancy in the senate, I am afraid you will have nothing to do for a period of time. It is very easy to become the Chief Executive of Naxos by being elected as the Chief Executive of Enona twice a year by the Senate, the outstanding performance of the six years in power, and His Majesty’s trust in you!"

Yasistus shook his head and said softly: "I have been out for six years and I am a little tired. I don't want to go to distant Sicily anymore, I just want to stay in Turri."

"Yasi, you are still young, you should take advantage of your vigour and serve as the chief executive in the east, west, south and north of the kingdom to increase your administrative experience so that... so that you can serve as governor of the province in the future!" Antonios persuaded.

"Provincial Governor?!" Asistes was surprised.

"This is the news I got from others. It is said that His Majesty considers that there are too many cities in the kingdom and that the affairs are too complicated. He is going to set up provinces and governors to govern the cities in the jurisdiction. This will be more convenient... It was secretly discussed with the old man of Kunogolata." Antonios said easily, but obviously it took a lot of energy to get the news.

Yasisters has lost interest in hearing this: "This location is too far away from me. I just want to stay in Turriy for a while now. I haven’t seen it in a few years. Turrii has changed too much. Now!"

"Yasi, with His Majesty’s trust in you, as long as you continue to enrich your local government experience, you can completely make up for the gap in your age. There must be one of you in the position of the Governor of the Province! The Governor of the Province will manage it. A region, three or four big cities, more than a dozen or two hundred thousand people, it is much more glorious than being a Spartan king!" Antonios continued to persuade: "So you should take over Naxos. Chief Executive!"

"Uncle, you are so eager to let me go to Naxos, are you really thinking about me?!" Yasister finally couldn't help it.

"How do you say that! I am your uncle, and of course I'm thinking about it for you!" Antonios' face became ugly, but he was still angry.

But Yasistes said unkindly: "No, you are not thinking about me, you are hurting me! My uncle,'Conqueror of Catania', this was the triumph of the year Your Majesty’s praise to you. But you and I all know that Alexis did not hang the title of “Victory of Samonei”, and Hilos did not hang the “Conqueror of Rockley” on the mouth, and In that magnificent war, His Majesty, who commanded the Dionysian army to win the whole war from beginning to end, did not call himself the'conqueror of Syracuse', only uncle you-in the gang of Sicilian veterans Under the flattery, he really regarded himself as a'conqueror of Catania', not only allowing others to hang it on his mouth every day, but also incorporating Catax into your name... you obviously forgot Without His Majesty’s prior plan and without the help of Lord Antrapolis, the First Army could never have beaten your Siracusa coalition several times! But you can see how calm Antrapolis is, Never promote to the outside world—"

"Enough! Don’t associate me with the sneaky villain! My name is Antonios. Catax What's wrong! Isn't your eldest son also called Crotocatax? This is me The honor is the honor once honored by our first legion!" "Antonius shouted angrily towards Assis.

Asistes continued without a surprise: "Uncle, don't you think you have changed in the past few years! In Naxos, you have been the chief executive for six years, and the people there have respected and flattered you. Forget your identity! Look at the candles in the courtyard, these dishes, and the slave girl..."

Yasister pointed to a table full of dishes. Many novel dishes on the table he had not seen and had eaten: "Uncle, I heard that you often come here to visit and give gifts in the past few years, most of them They are all Sicilian, and the defenders of Turiyi have also raised protests. It seems that you haven't converged too much... In the senate, those Sicilian veterans are headed by you. You speak for them everywhere and safeguard their interests. Don’t you know that other veterans have great opinions on you, including your former mercenary comrades! Do you really think you are the king of Sicily?! Uncle, you should wake up! Dionia There is only one king, His Majesty Dapheus!—"

"Shut up for me!!" Antonius grabbed the wine jar on the table angrily and slammed it to the ground. With a "bang", the wine was splashing.

Yasistes only felt a pain in his cheek, and the fragments of the clay pot cut his skin. He reached out and touched, and heard the incoherent roar of Antonius: "Nonsense! Nonsense! What do you know! What do you know?" !!!..."

"I have been with Your Majesty for so long, and I know more than you!" Yasistus said without any weakness: "Why don't I want to go to Naxos? That's because I don't want His Majesty to think that I He has also become a member of your Sicilian veteran, and even made him suspect that you want to get together with Bagul and Hermon, and join hands in the senate! Wake up, uncle! You are too much Gao, I can’t see how dangerous it is to stand under my feet. Don’t be silly to be used as a gun by someone else!..."

"Yo, this is... what's the matter?! Such a big noise!" The voice of Antonios' wife Doreen sounded in the courtyard.

"Asisisters, why did your face bleed?!" Tina ran to Asisisters in surprise, trying to reach out and was caught by Asisters: "I'm fine, a little bit Little scratches."

"Oh, how did the wine jar break?" Doreen stared at the debris on the ground in surprise, then said to the slave standing beside him: "Still stupidly, hurry up and clean it up! Also, go and carry a jar Wine comes!"

With the presence of a woman, Antonios was no longer angry and waved vigorously and said, "No more! No more!"

"Tina, call on the boy, and we should go back." Asistos grabbed his wife's hand and squeezed twice.

Tina immediately called the child.

Although Doreen felt something strange here, she said kindly: "It's still too early. Tina and I are having a good time talking. Yasisters, you and your uncle haven't seen you for so many years. Let's talk more. ."

"There's something to talk about, let him go if he wants to go!" Antonios said angrily.

"Antonius, look at what you said, I think you are drinking a bit too much." Doreen gave him a quick tap and turned to say apologetically to Yasisters: "Your uncle has too much business recently. I have a bad temper. I was still angry at me a few days ago. What's wrong with him, don't blame him!"
