Summary
Achilles tilts his chin up defiantly, in an effort to stare Patroclus down. He only succeeds in looking like a petulant child. “It is considered a great honour to be a therapon to a prince, you know.”
“Honour is meant to be earned, not handed out as if to a beggar, or a dog.”
Achilles’ nostrils flare, his green-gold eyes gleaming dangerously. “Such scorn from someone who was training to be a common footsoldier just this morning. Many of the boys back at the yard would beg for this chance.”
“Then you should have chosen one of them, perhaps." Patroclus glances down at the expensive chiton and his brand new arms, and hates how heavy and foreign they feel on him. “I didn’t ask for any of this.”
The last thing Patroclus wants is to become therapon to the Prince of Phthia. He had his fill of princelings back when he lived in Opus—hell, he used to be one himself. He doesn't need some stuck-up demigod to size him up and appoint him his glorified manservant. He'd much rather pass, thank you very much.
Achilles, however, is unlike any prince he's ever met.

Summary
“Quite the tall order, yer Majesty, and it comes along with a steep price.”
“Name it.” Pelues states, his muscles tightening with nervousness.
“First, myself and my crew will be welcomed at Phthia’s port with no suspicion.”
Some of the tension left the king’s shoulders. An easy task to accomplish, but there were more demands to come. “Done.”
A sly smile on the pirate’s mouth. “Second, you will stock my ship with the finest provisions whenever I ask.” He raised a hand before Pelues could protest. “No more than four times a year.”
The king exhaled sharply. “Fine.”
“Third,” Patroclus paused to rake his eyes over Achilles’ form. “You will give me your son's hand in marriage.”
