Chapter 1064
Although Cristoya wasn't as excited as Aegnis, she had also changed her sickly appearance from before. She propped her upper body up and leaned against the bed, a look of suspicion on her face, "Dido actually agreed?"
"She's your daughter-in-law. You're sick and you want to see your grandson, so why wouldn't she agree? I just wrote the letter and received a reply four days later. It's clear that they care a lot about you! "The Devers endorsed Dido.
"That's right, sister. Dido is quite understanding." Aegnis also chimed in from the side under Dyvers' secret instructions.
Cristoya glanced at the two of them and muttered unhappily, "What do you know?"
She then thought of something and immediately asked, "Dido won't go back to Turií with us, will she?"
"She's staying in Rome to keep Clotho company."
Cristoya was relieved and placed her hand on her stomach, "I'm hungry, I want to eat something."
Aegnis smiled in relief, "I'll have Molina make the arrangements."
As soon as she walked out of the bedroom, a clear shout came from outside, "Mother, we're back!"
Eunice walked into the room with large strides, just in time to see Cristoya lift the blanket and get out of bed.
"Ah, mother, you've recovered from your illness?! It seems like Hades has answered our prayers! " Eunice said excitedly. She then raised her palms to the sky and stood in place, silently chanting a few words. Aviya, who had entered the room, did the same.
Cristoya waited for them to finish thanking Hades before asking, "Did you go to the Temple of Hades?"
"The Hill of Gods, only the temple there is the most efficacious!" Eunice emphasized.
"Cristoya, look at how filial these two children are! I know that ever since you got sick, Eunice and Aviya have been worried about you and haven't gone out to play these past few days … "The Devers praised her two daughters greatly.
Cristoya was somewhat moved when she heard this. She opened her arms and said, "Mother thanks you, Eunice!"
Eunice ran over and hugged Christoya.
"Aiya, you reckless fellow, can't you be gentler? I'm afraid I'll have to stay in bed for a few more days. "Kristoya patted her daughter's back and complained jokingly.
Eunice squirmed unwillingly in her arms.
"Aviya, come here too." Kristoya smiled and patted the bed beside her.
"Okay." Aviya, who was standing not far away, immediately rushed over and was hugged by Christonia.
The mother and daughter hugged each other. "Daughters are the best!" Christoya said with relief.
Then she smiled and said, "In two days, your nephew will be back!"
"Pyrrhus (Cynthia's son) comes every few days. What's so surprising about that?" Eunice said.
"Idiot, he's your nephew!" Christoya hit Eunice's back with a little more force.
"It's Chris!" Eunice's voice rose by an octave. Then she said in surprise, "My sister-in-law actually agreed?!
Christoya immediately gave Devers a look that said, 'See, all the children think so.'
Then she said, "Your dad said it. How can she not agree?"
"Oh." Eunice nodded and said happily, "That's great. When Chris comes, I'll take him to ride Start!"
Christoya immediately patted her again and scolded, "You silly girl, think about it. Chris is only two years old. Can he ride that Egyptian horse of yours?"
"Mother, Start isn't an Egyptian horse. It's an Arabian horse," Eunice argued.
"Shut up," Christoya scolded impatiently.
"Mother of Krystoya, I will take good care of Chris. Can I take him to play with Merita (the black cat)? Merita is very gentle and never hurts people, "Aviya asked softly.
"Of course," Christoya replied with a smile.
"You're biased." Eunice pouted.
The three of them cuddled around the bed for a while. Then, Devers asked, "Eunice, you two went to the Hill of the Gods today. How's the construction of the main temple?"
"Father, you asked the right question. Lord Plaisinus specially brought Avriya and me to inspect the construction site. It seems that all the projects are progressing smoothly. All the craftsmen are working very hard. All the outer pillars of the temple have been erected, the outer walls have been repaired halfway, and the sculpture of Hades has also been completed. They are currently pasting the skin on … "Eunice said confidently.
Devers listened carefully and nodded with satisfaction. "Hmm, very detailed. It seems like the construction of the main temple is progressing well! The two of you have really inspected it thoroughly. I have to express my gratitude to you! "
"Of course! Even though we are women, we are the daughters of the wise and kind King of Diónia. We can also do something for you, Father! "Eunice puffed out her chest and boasted.
Devers chuckled. "Hmm, good. I like what you said, daughter."
At this moment, Ivy could not help but laugh out loud.
"It seems like Aviya has a different opinion." Devers looked at his daughter with a smile.
Facing her father's loving gaze, Aviya was a little nervous. She said hurriedly, "I … ah, no, I just remembered how depressed sister … sister looked on the way back … I couldn't help but want to laugh."
"Depressed? What happened? " Devers found it strange. His eldest daughter had always been energetic, cheerful, and optimistic. Even when she was often scolded by Christoya, she rarely looked depressed.
"Aviya, don't say it!" Eunice said hurriedly and even threatened her.
"Good girl, ignore her. Tell us quickly." Christoya was also interested. She hugged Eunice with both hands and stopped her from getting close to Aviya.
Avriya glanced timidly at Eunice, who was baring her teeth at her. She quickly recounted what had happened to her.
"Oh, there's actually a young man so bold as to criticize our Eunice right to her face!" Devers looked surprised. He stroked his beard, but his interest was far greater than his anger.
This was the first time Eunice had been scolded by an outsider since she was young, and she did not dare to talk back. This was better than the young men in Turín! Christoya was even more thoughtful.
Eunice was already seventeen years old. It was time for her to get married. There were many matchmakers, but Eunice had not taken a fancy to any of them. Christoya had been with Devers for so many years, and under his influence, she had gradually come to agree with his idea: let the children choose their own partners. That way, their marriages would be happy. (Of course, Cloto Catax definitely could not. As the heir to the throne, his marriage was destined to involve many political factors. Although Christoya did not like Dido, she had to admit that their marriage would make Cloto Catax's position more stable. It was also because of this that she didn't care that her two children had to marry high ranking officials and nobles.
However, Eunice was too strong-willed, and because of her prominent background, Christoya was more worried about her future marriage. So when she suddenly heard that such a different young man had appeared, it was like a drowning person suddenly seeing a life-saving straw. Regardless of his background, she had to grab hold of him first.
"Your Majesty, send someone to investigate this young man's background first …" Christoya winked at Devers.
"Father, what's the point of investigating? Such an unreasonable person should be immediately banished from Turín. He's not allowed to participate in the competition for the design of the giant statue!" Eunice said angrily.
"Ah? Ah! Yes! Yes! "Devers replied repeatedly, but did not clearly indicate whether he agreed or disagreed.
The family chatted happily for a while. Molina came in and said, "Your Majesty, dinner is ready."
Sitting in the dining room, Devers realized that there were still two empty seats. He quickly asked, "Are Abolus and Briantes not back yet?"
Molina, the housekeeper, who was standing at the side, quickly said, "His Highness Abolus sent someone back to say that there is an ongoing research project in the School of Mathematics today. He's having dinner in the School of Mathematics … His Highness Briantes is still participating in rugby training. He'll be back later."
Devers looked at the slightly sparse dining table and was a little stunned. In the blink of an eye, the children were all grown up and had their own things to do. It would be difficult to see the scene of the family gathering together and having a lively meal!
Devers sighed softly in his heart and said, "Let's eat."
After dinner, Molina entered the dining room again. "Your Majesty, Aristiras requests to see you."
"Oh." Devers knew that Aristiras was a tactful person. If there was nothing urgent, he would not disturb him at this time. He pretended to be relaxed and said, "Let him wait in the study. I'll be there in a while. Eunice, I'll give you a task. Take care of your mother. "
"She's so clumsy. What can she do? I'm fine now. I don't need her to take care of me, "Cristoia said.
"Mother, am I still your daughter? You're always making fun of me! "Eunice shouted.
There was laughter in the dining room.
Devers came to the study and saw his court herald still standing in front of the desk. He looked as calm as ever. It was impossible to tell from his face the importance of the matter he was about to report.
After greeting him, Devers first gestured for him to sit down. Then he asked, "What's so important that you come at this time?"
"Regarding this matter, our intelligence agents in Turín have already noticed it and carried out special surveillance. Today, we received a secret report from a slave in the slave camp. We can finally confirm that Your Majesty, at the opening ceremony of the Hellenic Scholar Conference in ten days, someone is planning to assassinate you."
