Chapter 516

After Medea and Lin Ye hit it off, everything changed.

【Second year, January 8th: Lin Ye gave you a copy of "Records of the Grand Historian."】

【Second year, January 17th: Lin Ye gave you a copy of "Scientific Management of Nations."】

【Second year, February 1st: Lin Ye gave you a copy of "Governance of Great Powers in the New Era."】

【Second year, February 15th: Lin Ye gave you a copy of "Governance of Civilization: Rule of Law and Political Cultural Change."】

The next two months were destined to be two months of dizziness for Medea; she never knew there were so many intricacies to governing a country.

However, she still studied diligently, after all, she also hoped to become an excellent ruler.

【Second year, March 1st: Lin Ye called you before him; he told you he had to leave for a while and hoped you could temporarily govern this country well in his stead.】

"What!"

Seeing this, Medea was stunned.

Lin Ye is serious!

Although Medea believed Lin Ye wasn't lying to her, she had originally thought Lin Ye would wait at least a hundred or eighty years, and she had even prepared to "serve the tiger with her body" to gain Lin Ye's approval, but as a result... Lin Ye trusted her this much after only two months?

【"You... are you really not afraid that I will usurp the throne while you are away?" Medea asked, looking at Lin Ye in front of her.】

【But Lin Ye smiled at you.】

【"If you can say this, then I am not afraid; besides... if you really have the ability to snatch the throne from my hands, then you wouldn't care about this tiny kingdom."】

Seeing Lin Ye say this, Medea suddenly felt how insignificant she was.

Compared to Lin Ye's magnanimity, she was truly too narrow-minded.

That's right, perhaps for Lin Ye, he never took this small country to heart.

【"Then... come back soon."】

【"Rest assured, take care of yourself, I am off."】

【After Lin Ye finished speaking, he directly summoned the 【Existence Crossing the Boundary】, jumped onto the vehicle, and left Colchis.】

【You waved goodbye to Lin Ye's back, but you always felt you had forgotten something...】

"I... what did I forget?... thing... Ah! I forgot to let Lin Ye help me restore Father!!"

Unfortunately, by the time Medea remembered, Lin Ye had long since driven far away!

"Forget it, anyway, the country is the same with or without Father now, I'll just govern it myself!"

Medea's eyes lit up; Queen Medea, that sounds pretty good.

While Medea began to act as Queen, at the same time, in Arcadia, Atalanta.

【Second year, February 1st: You returned to Arcadia. As soon as you returned, the people of the entire country stood at the port to welcome you.】

【The moment they saw you, they applauded desperately for you; they were welcoming the hero of the Argo, and also welcoming their great Princess!】

"I'm amazing!" Atalanta looked at this scene with satisfaction; it wasn't in vain that she put in so much effort to travel the world with a bunch of grown men.

However, she was still happy a bit too early.

【Second year, February 2nd: The moment they learned of your return, countless men flooded into your country; each of them brought exquisite gifts, and they only had one purpose for coming here.】

【To propose to you.】

"Huh?"

Atalanta was stunned; what's going on? What kind of dreams are these people having? Proposing to her? Who gave them the confidence? Cupid?!

Atalanta was originally a firm non-marriage advocate like the Moon Goddess, but she was toyed with by the Love Goddess, fell in love with someone she shouldn't have, and was eventually turned into a guard lion, which is the origin of her cat ears.

Although Meow-ta's cat ears are cute, that was the pain of her life.

【You immediately wanted to drive these suitors away, however, your father stopped you and said,】

【"Atalanta, you cannot drive them away; you have reached the age of marriage, and it is time to find a suitable husband."】

【"But..."】

【Iasus: "Atalanta, your mother and I only have you as a daughter; we are already old, and you also need to find a husband to inherit our throne."】

【After Iasus finished speaking, he coughed violently; you understood that his health had never been good, which is why he wanted to find someone to take care of you.】

"But, I have already... with Lin Ye..."

Atalanta remembered Lin Ye's existence, but she also thought that although she and Lin Ye were intimate, the two of them seemingly hadn't confirmed their relationship, especially now that Lin Ye had become the King of Colchis; would he still stay in Arcadia and become the King here?

"No! Even so, I will wait for him for a lifetime! But, I can't directly refuse Father... I've got it."

【"Father, how about this; I am a hero of the Argo after all, I cannot just marry someone casually; if they want to be my man, they must at least defeat me."】

【"This..." Iasus hesitated; the more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt. "No, Atalanta, you are a hero of the Argo; except for your companions, who is your opponent? You are going to end up alone!"】

【"Then... then let's have a footrace; we'll each take a step back, is that okay?"】

【"Alright, then let's do that." Iasus nodded.】

【"Also, I don't want to race these people every day; I have one more requirement: if they don't outrun me, they will be exiled to a deserted island to mine ore, is that okay?"】

【"This... alright, without the determination to die, they are not worthy of marrying my daughter." Iasus thought about it and didn't refuse. Although he was urging marriage, he still wanted his daughter to have a good home.】

"Racing, I won't lose."

Atalanta was exceptionally confident; the only person in all of Ancient Greece who could outrun her was probably that freak Heracles, and Heracles was her friend, so she was bound to win!

【Second year, February 3rd: You raced ten men, you won, Deserted Island Miner +10.】

【Second year, February 8th: You raced eight men, Deserted Island Miner +8.】

【Second year, February 12th: You raced five men, Deserted Island Miner +5.】

【Second year, February 18th: You raced three men, Deserted Island Miner +3.】

【Second year, February 20th: You raced two men, Deserted Island Miner +2.】

As time went on, there were fewer and fewer challengers, and Atalanta became more and more confident.

"Sure enough, when it comes to racing, I am invincible."
