Chapter 13 The Dionysian Royal Family (Part 1)

Cristoya was happy when she heard this, and put her head on Davers's strong chest and said softly: "Listen to you..."

"It's too late, go to bed quickly, go to bed..." Davers patted him lightly, and the two of them relaxed and fell asleep soon...

………………………………

Early the next morning, Davers got up and went to the courtyard for morning exercise. By the time he returned to the main building with sweat, it was already bustling.

The backyard manager Molina had already directed the female slaves to wake up the children one by one, ask them to put on their clothes and wash them... Then she heard complaints and cries in the main building. Molina was unmoved and met a child who was unwilling to get up or even playful. The female slave had no choice but to go into the house and force them to pull them up. Faced with these princes and princesses of Dionia, the reason why she dared to do this was because this was the power given to her by Cristoya.

Eight years ago, with the help of Cristoya from Davers River, Asuna married Aristolas, and of course he had to leave Davers's residence. Molina, a female slave from Thessali, was the wet nurse of the child at that time. Cristoya found that she was decisive in doing things and even more daring to do things than Asuna, so she let her take over Asuna's position. Facts proved that Cristoya had a lot of vision. With the increase in children over the years, the backyard was indeed managed by Molina in an orderly manner, which saved Cristoya a lot of worry.

After Davers simply rinsed, he walked into the restaurant and his family had basically sat at the dining table.

"Where is Aviya?" Davers asked, looking at the hall. Aviya is his third daughter, born to Agents, and is only four years old this year.

"The crying man refused to get up as usual. Aunt Molina went in and asked her to get up. She also shouted, "Angels's mother went upstairs to call her." Briantes replied loudly. Briantes was Davers' fourth son, born to Cristoya, and was six years old this year.

"Briantes, Avija is your sister. When she encounters difficulties, you don't help her, but instead say strange things on the side. This is wrong, do you know!" Cynthia immediately criticized him.

"Sister is right, Briantes is just annoying." Eunice also complained that she was now ten years old, born during the Great Greek War.

Briantes was criticized by his two sisters and felt a little aggrieved. He turned his attention to his second brother Crotokatax.

Crotokatax turned his head and looked at Cynthia: "Bot did not intend to say bad things about Avija. He has now realized that he was wrong."

"Okay, my sister has forgiven you, but it depends on your future actions!" Cynthia said in a tone of her child.

Brian Tes nodded quickly.

Apox, the third brother opposite him, grimaced at him, and immediately made him smile. Apox was born to Agenice at the end of the Great Greek War and is over nine years old this year.

Davers and Cristoya have been sitting quietly without interfering with the little conflicts between the children. They have always been like this, because with Cynthia and Crotokataks, they will eventually be well resolved. Davers also hopes that the children will learn to unite, be friendly, tolerant and compromise in the process of resolving the conflicts themselves.

At this time, Agennis led Avija into the living room.

Avia had big red eyes, tears still left on her face. She held a small doll in one hand and was pulled forward by Agents in the other.

"Little Via, sit in your own seat, it's time for breakfast," Cristoya said softly.

Her words worked very well. Aviya let out a soft "um" and let go of her mother's hand, sat in her position, put the doll behind her, and Agenice sat down beside her.

Ordinary Greeks usually eat because they eat simply and even have no dining table. They can help them by grabbing food outdoors, sitting on wooden chairs or squatting, and standing. The dining of Greek nobles and rich people is much more formal. They have special dining rooms, equipped with their own dining tables according to the number of people, and slaves are waiting on the side to clean their hands at any time because they eat with their hands.

The dining situation in the Kingdom of Dionys was very different, because after Davers invented the knife, fork and spoon, the people no longer needed to eat with their hands. And although it was still a separate meal system, many families have become popular for dining on a dining table, and a very small number of families even do not separate men and women. It is said that this was influenced by Davers.

With the increase of family members, Davers asked the skilled carpenter to make a large round table, which was placed in the center of the restaurant, and the family sat around to have a meal. This was not only not close or distant, but also had a very lively atmosphere in the family, but also helped to cultivate children's friendship with their families and attach importance to their families.

Davers sat facing the entrance of the restaurant. On the right is Agenth, on the left is Cristoya, next to Cristoya is the eldest daughter Cynthia, then the second son Crotokataks, then the second daughter Eunice, the third son Apox, the fourth son Briantes, and the third daughter Avija. If the eldest son Adoris who went out to war is included, Davers's family members are ten.

The backyard supervisor Molina stood aside, and there were no other slaves in the restaurant. After all, even the youngest Molina is over four years old and can take care of herself. Davers always hopes that the children can do their own things and be self-reliant, and do not rely on the slaves' service, so as not to become a waste who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains.

"Let's start the meal." After Davers finished speaking, Crotokataks brought food and bowls with Molina's help, first arranged tableware for each family, and then distributed food to each family. This was the task Davers arranged for several older children in the family, mainly to exercise their awareness of serving others. Today it was Crotokataks' turn.

After Crotokataks distributed food to the three parents, he turned to Cynthia.

Davers' eyes widened, but saw that his eldest son quickly distributed food to Cynthia.

"Thank you, Clo!" Cynthia said with a smile.

Crotokatax walked towards Eunice calmly, nothing unusual.

Davers immediately turned his puzzled look on Christoya.

Of course, Christoya understood what her husband meant. She didn't expect that she had just told Davers about this yesterday. Today he would confirm it in such a public occasion. It was simply...

Cristoya immediately gave him a wink, telling him not to do it too obvious.

Davers pretended to be puzzled, opened her mouth and posed in a puzzled position.

Cristoya had no choice but to clench her fist and knocked her on his thigh.

Davers bared his teeth and cracked his mouth with an exaggerated look.

Cristoya almost sprayed the porridge in her mouth onto the table.

Agenus noticed the strangeness of the two, turned his head and gave inquisitive eyes.

But Davers reached out his right hand to the base of her smooth and plump thighs.

Agenis' pretty face turned slightly red, and he immediately pinched his fingers.

Davers showed a painful expression again, flashing in a flash.

Several children obviously did not notice the farce between their parents, and their attention was focused on the food.

"It's still the same as before, add a spoonful of honey?" Crotokatax asked his own sister with a smile.

Before Eunice could answer, Briantes shouted, "Is this still necessary to ask? She doesn't like drinking cattle and goat milk."

In this era, many Greek city-state citizens raised sheep, so goat milk is a very common food. In addition to making cheese, it is treated and consumed directly. The cattle are mainly for practicality and transportation, but not for milk production. Davers once asked Bagule to advocate the public to use cows to produce milk, sell and eat them. Now it is just beginning to be a little bit of. There are very few people eating milk, and the yield is not large. Of course, there is a small supply in the palace.

However, the drink for breakfast today is goat milk, which has a strong smell. Fortunately, in order to make the children grow taller and stronger, Davers has stipulated that she should drink a glass of goat milk every morning since she was a child. Until now, the children have adapted, including the youngest Aviva, except Eunice.

"I don't like to drink, what's wrong!" Eunice immediately glared at Briantes.

Facing her sister's threat, Briantes was unwilling to admit defeat and could not explain anything, so he could only bite the bullet and said, "It's wrong anyway!"

Eunice was too lazy to pay attention to him, so she turned to Crotokatax and smiled: "Brother, give me two spoons of honey, thank you!"

Crotokatax finished the distribution of Eunice and put food for Apox.

Apox cheered: "That's great, there are meat buns today!"

The Greeks baked bread with fermented flour, while Davers asked the chef to wrap the chopped beef and mutton with fermented dough and steamed it in an iron pot. The steamed meat was filled with aroma, which children, especially boys, liked to eat.

Apox held the hot bun in both hands and took a big bite regardless of the burning mouth. Then he saw that Briantes next to him had also divided the food, and his eyes turned and said to his younger brother: "But, can we play a game? Whoever wins can bite the other party's meat bun."

"No!" Briantes vigilantly used his hands to wrap the wood in his chest. When he played the game, he lost to Apox every time, and he had some psychological shadow.

Apox was thinking about how to convince Briantes, but Eunice said disdainfully: "Bout, look at your timid look! Apox, give it to you!" Eunice was satisfied that Apox made Briantes look ugly, and immediately broke up half of the meat bag and handed it to him.

"Thank you, second sister!" Apox immediately took it. Briantes glanced at you jealously, remembered something, turned his head and said to Aviya, "Sister, look, this meat bun is too big, you can't eat it alone, brother can help you eat some, okay?"
