Antiop fell completely silent.

She clenched her fists tightly, then slowly relaxed them, and said helplessly, "I...I respect Her Highness Diana's decision."

From the moment when Queen Hippolyta of the Amazons and General Antiope stopped vetoing, no one on Paradise Island could question Diana's choice anymore.

This would also indicate that Xinian's status and position on Paradise Island would rise to the same level as that of Amazonian Princess Diana.

Diana suddenly said, "Antiop, there's one more thing I'd like to ask you, about Shinian."

Queen Hippolyta was slightly taken aback. Was it really a bit unreliable to entrust the matter of Xinian to Antiope?

Antiop raised an eyebrow and said, "Your Highness Diana, please speak."

Diana said softly, "I think, let Xinian..."

……

In ancient buildings.

Lying in the dark room, hope Nian collapsed on the bed from hunger. Suddenly, clear footsteps came from the corridor outside.

Finally, someone has arrived!

Xinian sat up abruptly and saw the female guard from before rush in, carrying a set of clothes: "Your Highness, quickly change into these, General Antiop wants to see you!"

"Is dinner ready?" Taking the clothes handed to him by the female guard, hope Nian didn't care about anything else and took off his shirt, which startled the female guard, who ran out in a panic.

"What's wrong with me? It's not like I've never seen a man before." hope Nian muttered to himself, changed into the clothes given to him, and walked outside the ancient building.

Emerging from the long, dark passageway of the ancient building.

Stepping outside the door, Xinian felt as if he had seen the light of day again. He glanced down at the clothes he had just changed into. Well, at least this time it was proper men's clothing—a brown linen short-sleeved top and long, tapered trousers for easy movement, also characteristic of ancient Greek attire.

However, these tapered trousers look like they were newly refitted and sewn; the loose threads are all new!

Before Xinian could think further, the sound of hooves and roars rang out ahead, and a group of female cavalrymen quickly appeared in front of the ancient building on the edge of the cliff.

The one riding the black horse at the head of the group was none other than the female general Antiope.

Antiop glanced at Xinian at the entrance, whispered a few words to the female guard, and then said to the female cavalry behind him, "Give him a horse."

horse?

As hope Nian watched a female cavalryman lead a valiant and handsome white horse toward him, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

My lord, times have changed!

Could we get some modern means of transportation?

Seeing that Antiop and the female knights were all staring at him, Xinian could only stare at the white horse nearby with wide eyes.

The female guard seemed to sense his embarrassment and stepped forward to ask, "Your Highness, would you like me to help you mount your horse?"

"Then I'll leave it to you." hope Nian was deeply moved, and then he flew away—

The female guard tossed him two or three meters into the air, where he landed on the white horse's back.

Startled, the white horse, carrying Xinian, thrashed about wildly, flying away like an arrow released from a bow.

"Go!" Antiop stomped his feet and led the female cavalry in pursuit of the white horse.

……

Surrounded by female cavalry, the white horse began to slow its pace. Xinian, still shaken, managed to grab the reins in time, or he would have been thrown off.

After catching his breath on the white horse, Xinian realized that the female cavalry had slowed down not for his sake, but because they had entered the town area of ​​Paradise Island!

A wide, smooth white stone road winds its way through the mountain, with countless white buildings standing on both sides.

As the female cavalry led Xinian through the town, hundreds and thousands of local residents dressed in white dresses, as well as armed soldiers on guard duty, all came to the side of the road to watch Xinian in the center of the procession, their eyes filled with strange emotions.

Xinian suddenly had a feeling of being surrounded and scrutinized by a group of relatives, including aunts and uncles, when she first visited her boyfriend's house.

This is no longer just a group of relatives; it's a tribe or an ethnic group!

This is not the point.

The key point is that everyone present was female! Not a single man!! And there were no elderly people whose youth had faded!!!

hope Nian finally understood why his men's clothing was newly made. Because men's clothing was not needed on this island.

Paradise Island?

Why not rename it the Kingdom of Women?

Chapter 43, Don't Bow Your Head, or Your Crown Will Fall.

Antiop led a party of female knights, carrying Shinian, through the town of Paradise Island and up a mountain peak.

As Xinian rode on the white horse, his eyes lit up.

The mountain peak seemed to have had its summit shaved off by some great force, resembling a natural training ground platform with open spaces on all sides. The grounds were covered with soft, carpet-like grass, and faced outwards to the boundless sky and sea.

On the pristine, natural training ground, dozens of tall, shirtless female warriors in combat skirts sparred fiercely and earnestly. Each of them possessed physical abilities superior to that of ordinary humans, and they wielded real weapons.

The fierce clash between the sword's edge and the blade's tip sent sparks flying and the metallic clang echoed incessantly!

These are Amazonian female warriors. If a modern human army of equal numbers were to face them, they would undoubtedly be crushed into mincemeat!

When faced with invaders, they will be the first to rush to the front and engage in fierce fighting!

Upon seeing Antiop arrive on his black horse, the female warriors on the training ground all stopped what they were doing and bowed respectfully in unison: "General!"

Followed by.

Their undisguised hostility, like sharp swords, was directed at the boy behind Antiop.

Without anyone needing to explain, everyone knew Xinian's identity at a glance.

After all, as a human, and a male at that, he was far too easily recognizable on Paradise Island. Moreover, he wore the royal starlight crown!

If looks could kill, hope Nian would have been killed countless times already.

Xinian sighed inwardly, understanding the source of the Amazon warriors' hostility.

These female warriors were far more fierce and ruthless than the female guards. For them, who revered strength, they felt that they, as minors, were far from worthy of being the princess of the Amazons.

But, but!

Understanding doesn't mean accepting!

They may indeed underestimate themselves as humans, but right now he's wearing his aunt's crown!

Xinian, who had previously struggled to sit still on his white horse, now had piercing eyes. He coldly raised his gaze and met the hostile stares of the female warriors one by one!

Bathed in golden sunlight, the Starlight Crown shimmered with rings of majestic light, making the young Xinian, seated on his white horse, appear truly like a member of royalty. Many Amazonian warriors instinctively averted their gaze, unable to look directly at him!

Antiop was somewhat surprised. She had deliberately pitted her most valiant and powerful female warriors against Xinian in order to give him a warning and let him know that he could not bear the weight of that magnificent crown.

but.

Antiop was wrong, terribly wrong!

In truth, hope Nian also admitted that he couldn't bear the weight of his aunt's immensely significant crown. But as long as this crown remained on his head for even a second, he would never yield to anyone, bow down, or allow anyone to tarnish its glory!

If we bow our heads, we will lose the dignity and honor of Aunt Diana!

This is Xinian's Achilles' heel!

Antiop seemed to suddenly realize something and shouted at the female warriors, "Hurry up and salute!"

The female warriors exchanged glances, and no matter how unwilling they were, they bowed to Xinian on his white horse, to the magnificent crown he wore: "Greetings... Your Highness!"

hope Nian patted the white horse, and even the white horse became much more obedient at this moment, obediently lowering its body.

Antiop dismounted from his black horse and gave the female warrior the order: "Rest here first, and then resume training after lunch."

"Yes, General!" The female warriors quickly packed their weapons, and soon after, ordinary civilians brought figs, cheese, bread, and freshly roasted meat.

These female soldiers were not reserved at all, and they ate their meals in small circles on the spot.

The horses were tethered to one side of the grass.

Xinian sat down alone on the grass, and soon a sumptuous meal was brought to him.

“Your Highness, this is how we Amazon warriors usually have lunch. If you're not used to it, I can arrange for you to have lunch indoors.” Antiop walked over, holding a roasted lamb leg in his hand. Perhaps it was Xinian's handling of things earlier that changed her opinion; her expression was no longer as cold as before.

"Just treat it as a picnic, it's a great experience." hope Nian shrugged, washed his hands with water, and started eating bread and grilled meat on the spot.

He was really hungry.

Antiop looked at Xinian, who was eating with great relish, and suddenly became a little dazed.

She recalled that when Diana was a child, after being granted permission to train with the soldiers, she refused to have lunch inside the palace and instead ate with them on the grass of the training ground.

Antiop said, "Thank you."

"What?" Xinian looked at her, puzzled.

“Thank you for protecting Her Highness Diana’s reputation just now,” Antiop said expressionlessly.

“You don’t need to thank me,” hope Nian said bluntly. “She’s my family, it’s my duty.”

“Family obligations…” A strange light flashed in Antiop’s eyes.

……

After lunch.

Xinian thought he could go back to rest, but then he saw Antiop suddenly get up and pick up two gleaming Greek swords from the weapon rack next to the training ground.

laugh!

Antiop gripped a Greek sword, while the other was planted diagonally in the grass in front of Shinian: "Come on!"

"What are you going to do?" hope Nian looked at the longsword, his brows furrowing slightly.

This scene also attracted the attention of all the female warriors on the field, who all looked over.

“It is my duty to invite you to fight,” Antiop said coldly. “Now, it is time for you to fulfill your duty—take up your sword and fight me.”

"I don't know how to use a sword..."

Xinian hadn't finished speaking.

Antiope suddenly lunged forward, bringing a gust of wind with him, and swung his Greek sword at Shinian!
