Nelia was focusing on reading the book cut out of papyrus in her hand, and suddenly she heard a gentle voice: "What book are you reading?"

Nelia subconsciously raised her head and saw a pretty boy standing in front of her.

In Apox's eyes: the girl in front of her has a beautiful face, beautiful long hair, and her big blue eyes are like a layer of veil, like a fog and poetry, giving her a melancholy and mysterious temperament.

"Who are you?" The crisp voice like an oriole awakened the lost Apox. Facing Nelia's inquiry, for some reason, he felt nervous: "I am...I am Eunice's younger brother."

"Ah! You are Eunice... the Apox that the princess often mentions to me... Your Highness!" Nelia exclaimed and stood up in a hurry.

"Just call me Apox...or you'll violate the school rules." Apox squeezed out a smile and corrected.

Although King Davers's children have noble identities, Davers specially asked Turiyi School to formulate a special school rule, which does not allow their children to receive preferential treatment in school by virtue of their power. He also hopes that teachers and students will interact with his children normally, in order to allow them to have a normal life. Nelia has just moved to Turiyi from Brindisi to live, and she is not used to it.

"I'm sorry! I won't call this next time." Nelia lowered her head and admitted her mistake uneasy. The reason why their family moved from Brindisi to Turiyi was because the families of the dead crew members of the Brindisi Naval Base were very resentful to the Miltias family, which seriously interfered with their family's life and forced them to leave. At the same time, it also had an impact on Nelia's young mind, leaving her in a sensitive and nervous state.

"It's okay." Apox saw her nervousness and hurried to change the subject: "What are you looking at?"

"Egypt...sees and hears," Nelia said hurriedly, and handed the book in her hand to Apox.

Apox did not answer: "It was written by Teacher Ansitanos? I have read it."

Ansitanos visited Egypt several times and wrote his experiences in Egypt in combination with some history into a travelogue. Since it did not involve any secret content, several copies were copied and placed in the Tuliyi Museum, allowing the public to borrow.

Nelia keenly noticed the problem in Apox's words and showed a surprised expression: "Do you call Ansitanos scholar a teacher?!"

"Yes, I just finished his class before." Apox raised his eyebrows slightly, unconsciously trying to show off something.

"But I heard that he is not teaching in school." Nelia was a little confused. As soon as she said that, she immediately felt something was wrong and hurriedly explained: "I'm not... not saying--"

"It's okay, anyone will be surprised to hear me say this." Apox smiled and comforted her, and explained: "Mr. Ansitanos allowed me to go to the school to listen to his lectures in order to thank me for giving him some information about Egyptian history."

"Oh, is that!" Nelia showed a surprised expression again, threw her previous anxiety behind her head, and asked quickly: "That temple... you must be very knowledgeable about Egypt's history! I heard that there is a monster in Egypt who looks like a horse but is stronger than a horse, but lives in the Nile River. Is this true? I read the book "Egyptian Experience" that does not record this aspect."

After hearing this, Apox said modestly: "It's very researchy, but he does know a lot about Egypt. The monster in the Nile you mentioned just now should be the "hippos" that the Egyptians called. It does exist and lives in the middle and upper reaches of the Nile. Teacher Ansitanos has been in Egypt several times, and he stayed in the lower reaches of the Nile. He should have never seen hippos. Out of a rigorous attitude, he did not write it."

Seeing that Apox knew a lot about Egypt, Nelia was excited and then asked: "That's about..."

When Eunice wanted to call Apox on the court, she found that the two of them were talking and laughing on the sidelines, so she looked at them with a weird expression: "You two are very good, you will get familiar with each other so soon!"

Nelia's face suddenly turned red.

Apox said calmly: "Is there anything wrong? Second sister."

"You're the one who's on the field."

"I know." Apox responded, turned his head and asked, "Nelia, can you play football?"

"Can...can kick a little bit." Nelia said softly.

"Then let's go up and play together. Plato, a famous Athens scholar, once said, 'Young people in city-states should participate in more sports, which will help them grow into a healthy and noble city-state citizen...'"

When Eunice saw Apox still talking a long story at this time, Nelia nodded seriously, and the smile on her face became more and more bizarre. She deliberately said: "I'm sorry! We can only change one person!"

"Then let Briantes get out of the game, too." Apox said without hesitation.

"Why are I the only one?!" Briantes, who had sharp ears, heard it and expressed his dissatisfaction.

In the end, Apox and Nelia came on the field.

"Catch the ball!" Eunice deliberately kicked the ball strongly at Nelia, wanting to see how good she is at the football level. As a result, Nelia, who seemed to be weak, stopped the ball in front of her very lightly.

"It's not bad!" Eunice praised loudly.

Apox's eyes lit up even more.

As a purely naval military center, the citizens of the whole city are either navy or cavalry. In addition to military training, they are also keen on various sports. They send teams to participate in the Kingdom Rugby and Football Competition every year and have won the championship in the Football Finals many times. In fact, it is understandable that the people of Brindisi are mainly composed of crew members. They fight against wind and waves at sea all year round, have a symmetrical and strong body, have a stable lower plate, and have good balance. They have inherent advantages in playing football. The achievements of Brindisi people in football have also made this sport popular in the whole city. Whether children or the elderly, they not only love to watch football, but also play football. Nelia is naturally influenced by it.

As the boys and girls were playing happily in the afterglow of the sunset, Dionian veteran Cornerus returned to his mansion with his tired body.

Before he could sit down, his wife Hesia immediately rushed over and asked, "Is our child Euclirius okay? Which legion was he assigned to? Have you written a letter to the Legion Commander and asked him to take good care of him?"

"Has I said it already? The "Dionia Law" stipulates that administrative officials are not allowed to inquire and interfere in the internal affairs of the military in detail, especially during the war! You ask these questions every day when you come back. I am annoyed if you are not annoyed. Can I take a breath? I didn't even change Bolton when I came back..." Cornerus said with some complaints.

"Euclirius is our only son! This is his first time on the battlefield, and he will face the terrible Carthaginians. Shouldn't we worry? I just asked you to ask, but I didn't let you use your power to prevent your children from going to the battlefield. Is there anything wrong with this? If you don't dare to ask, I'll find Lord Hilos!" Hesia said angrily, with red eyes, and stomped her feet suddenly, turning around and walking out.

When Cornerus saw this, he hurriedly chased after her and grabbed her: "Oh, Hesia, stop making trouble! You can't see Hilos even if you go. After the Senate meeting, Hilos did not go home, but went directly to the Military Affairs Department."

"Then I'll go to the Military Affairs Department to find him!" Hesia said without hesitation.

Cornerus said anxiously: "The military affairs department is full of talk. You want to make the whole city know this time. Cornerus, for the sake of my child, wants to make all the civil servants impeach me!"

"I...I'm going to let the guru impeach you!" Hesia said this, but stopped moving forward.

Cornerus saw it and immediately persuaded: "I have worked diligently in Dionyya for so many years. Your Majesty trusts me very much, otherwise he would not have announced after he led his army to fight, "He will temporarily take charge of the domestic affairs of the king with the other four rotating chairmen." I have gotten along well with other colleagues, and have never had any grudges with anyone in recent years.

Your Majesty and his colleagues all know that I only have one child. The conscription list clearly states Cornerus. Euclirius, who in the kingdom has the surname Cornerus, whoever has the heart will give Euclirius care. Now whose children in the Senate do not go to fight to kill the enemy, even His Majesty has sent his newly grown son, adopted son and son-in-law to the battlefield. You also know that Raphayas's second son died in Latinum, and Trittodmoth's son-in-law was seriously injured and had to amputate... As the rotating chairman of the Senate, I took the initiative to ask about the situation of the children at this time, and it would give people a handle, but it would be bad..."

"But this is our only son, we're just asking!" Hesia said, tears falling down.

Speaking of which, 20 years ago, Cornerus's original wife and children died in the war between the Lucanians and Turii. Later, after the establishment of the Dionian Alliance and the situation was relatively stable, Cornerus married a new wife. At that time, he was in his 50s and even made his wife pregnant and had a child. Naturally, he was extremely happy and cherished. But at this moment, he could only hold his wife and sighed deeply: "Who made him a boy!"

At this time, the slave walked into the backyard and saw this scene, and didn't know what to do.

"What's the matter?" Cornerus asked.

Hesia hurriedly wiped away her tears.

"Master, Lord Hilos is here to visit."

Cornerus' heart moved. Seeing his wife casting hopeful gaze at him, he nodded slightly: "Please invite him in!"
