Chapter 1- Arguments

It had been a week now since Troy was held captive by the greedy king, Agamemnon. All day and night he would sit on the throne, the throne Great King Priam use to sit, but now a pig has taken it's place, eating, drinking and pigging himself out more than he already was. All survivors were held captives as well. The royal one's were separated from the villagers. The royal one's were treated like guess but still like slaves, nonetheless. Every night he would sleep with a Trojan woman, who would most likely protest for no one ever wanted to sleep with a pig, even paid whores. One particular night he summoned the former king to the dinning halls, where all sorts of food was lay out just for him and him alone. The great doors were opened with a loud creak and entered Priam, head high and standing tall. He still looked like a king, he's crown might have been taken from him but his pride will never be taken. He was lead by two strong man, each a weapon held, frightened what this small and old man can do. Agamemnon stopped pigging himself from the very moment the doors were shut closed with a loud 'Bang'. Cursing under his breath for the sound had made him jump a little from his seat. Old Priam has witnessed this and smiled a little.

"If you are smiling because you think I am freeing you from your debt. Better take that smile away."

Agamemnon's lips twisted a little and small bits of food were seen resting in his lips. his hands now oily and dirty from the food gestured Priam to sit across him. Priam hesitated for a while but the soldiers has pushed him roughly towards the chair, that he tripped and landed chest first in the chair. The soldiers gave out a small cruel laugh and left him with the hands of the most greediest man that has ever lived. Priam, now sitting properly and high on the chair, watched Agamemnon eating like a pig and spilling wine on his now dirty clothes. Priam disgusted by the gesture that was showed by Agamemnon turned his gaze away.

"Your people seemed to tire of their duties is it not?"

Priam turned his head to look at Agamemnon, who has finally stopped filling his already bloated stomach, and said proudly.

"We Trojans would never work for anyone. The God's alone deserve our respect. Like we respect the will of the god's."

Agamemnon laughed, making other bits of food from his mouth flying away. Priam, again disgusted by the way he laugh and the flying of certain things from his mouth, backed away from his chair.

"Well, look around you Priam! This is the will of the god's! and you still respect them? The only way to get the things we want is by force, swords and war. This is how I got Troy."

He gave Priam an evil smile, his smile somehow matches the devil's. Enraged by Agamemnon's words Priam gave a loud sigh and took all the anger within. He may loss at the battle against the Greeks, but he would not allow himself to be beaten by word's.

"I am sure your man has worked well, Agamemnon. Without their king they could have won this battle a long time ago."

Priam smiled proudly of himself, knowing that he has angered Agamemnon.

"Watch your word's old men. My mercy has limits."

Agamemnon was surely enraged for he was now standing, fist clenched. But this has not scared Priam for he held his head a little higher and spoke.

"And I have seen your limit."

Agamemnon gave a small laugh and sat down, again. He was looking at Priam still smirking wildly.

"You better stop holding your head high, Priam. Your neck has limits too. Besides, there is nothing for you to be proud of no more. Troy belongs to me and everyone here belongs to me. But, we could work this off by a little understanding."

Priam's eyes that were once filled with anger and hatred have turned into fear. Who knows what Agamemnon would ask for him in return now that he has everything, except...Priam's eyes went large when he noticed what Agamemnon was trying to ask for. Agamemnon saw Priam's reaction and smirked.

"So, you have guessed already? But, don't worry. I will only ask for one. I am not that greedy at all Priam. But, sometimes I can be really greedy."

He laughs a cruel laugh. Priam was frightened, afraid for who was the unlucky one that has caught Agamemnon's attention. Agamemnon has stopped laughing and looked at Priam hard.

"You have nephews, Yes?"

Priam chooses not to answer.

"Not to say, the most beautiful but only second to Helen. Her name...Briseis is it not?"

Priam closed his eyes in sadness, from above all his nephew's he loved, his dearest and most loved was chosen. Agamemnon paid no heed to Priam and continued.

"Just give me the girl and I will free you all and I mean all from your slavery."

Priam took a deep breath, eyes still closed, thinking of his beloved nephew's doom. Then he spoke.

"Including the villagers?"

"Including the villagers. I am a man of my word, Priam. Don't let this chance slip from your boned hands or I will take the girl with force."

"You will not!"

Priam has now stood up from his seat, unable to hold the anger within no longer. But, Agamemnon just laughed at him and said.

"You may leave now and tell your family the great news."

The heavy doors were open again and the same two strong man came in and lead Priam back to a big room, where all royalties were gathered. The guards open the door and threw Priam to the floor. Shocked from the rough treatment the guards were giving to her uncle, Briseis rushed to his side and was followed suit by Hector and Andromache.

"The God's shall punish you all personally!"

Briseis shouted on top of her lungs and throwing her fist in the air, but was only rewarded by insane laughs of the guards. The trio had helped Priam up and sat him in a comfy couch. Priam, somehow, was troubled by Agamemnon's words. Fidgeting on how to say this or whether or not to say this at all. By Agamemnon's word's keep on ringing on Priam's mind. 'or I will take her by force!' he gave a loud sigh and looked at Briseis toubled face.

"My dear, from all the woman I have ever met you are the one I have loved most. But the God's has cursed us all..."

"Uncle Priam!"

Priam hushed Briseis with a wave of his hands.

"Agamemnon has interest on you and wants you for an exchange of all our freedom."

Briseis was shocked and frightened. Hector in the other hand was not taking this situation to well. For Briseis was like a little sister to Hector, even though there were just cousins.

"No, I will not allow this to happen!"

Hector was pacing around, one hand at his forehead. Priam knew that this would happen and so he take another deep breath and said.

"Or he will take her by force."

Hector stopped his pacing and looked at Priam. Priam, who's head was bowed down in sorrow, jolted up when he heard Briseis words.

"I will accept this."

Briseis face showed that there was no turning back no more. Priam just hugged his nephew and cried. But, he manages to choke out some words.

"You will meet him tomorrow evening."
