“And once the prince is gone, we can take the throne for ourselves, hm?”

He was explaining a plan he had thought out to you, both of you outside in the dark, underneath a tree.

Antinous was not a good man, he just wanted the crown and throne for himself, the power. And maybe he passed it off as a “love for Penelope”, which had quickly turned into hatred for her.

But when all the 108 suitors came to woo the Queen; you stood out for him. He approached you a day, and against heart, fell in love. With another man, no royalty or anything. How could the Gods curse him?

You had returned his favors, but he wanted the throne so bad, so he had spent a few hours thinking of a plan, he was a smart man after all.

The suitors would kill the royal family; and he would take you as his husband to join him on the throne; so he could love you openly. But, the only thing is he had to make an heir. He didn’t want Odysseus old son getting it. So he would have to…make one while with you, with someone else. A woman.

It was the best you two could get.
