I was a priest in the city-state era

Mrs. Zeuxipo's heartache went away as quickly as it came, because now she is no longer a love-minded little girl.

As a mother, her children are now more important in Zeuxiper's heart than her husband Pandion.

On this day, Loy came to Pandion's house as he had done in the previous days, wanting to exercise his power to manage the city of Athens.

As a result, Roy walked into the hall and saw Zeuxipero, Procne, and Philomela sitting together, talking and laughing.

Seeing Roy's figure, Zuksipo took the initiative to say hello to Roy.

"My child, you are here very early."

Roy walked to the stone table, sat down opposite the three people and said.

"Dear mother-in-law, are you feeling well?"

"I was worried because Pandion and Danae were together. Now that I have figured it out, my health will naturally be better."

Zeuxiper hugged Procne and Philomela with his arms and said.

"The most important thing to me now is the child. Even if Pandion really falls in love with Danae, I will not be depressed."

Procne immediately comforted him.

"Mother! I believe that father is just greedy for a temporary novelty. It won't be long before the relationship between mother and father will return to the sweetness of the past."

Philomela said with a vicious expression.

"If father is still stubborn, let Brother Roy kill this vixen Danae."

"Silly girl!"

Zeuxipo smiled happily.

"This is a matter between us adults, you kids can't interfere."

Then, Zeuksipo looked at Roy and said.

"My child, I heard that you were helping Procne manage the city of Athens during the time when I was ill. Now that my health has recovered, you can spend more time with Procne."

Unable to continue to exercise the power to manage the city of Athens, Roy couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Seeing the paper and pens placed on the stone table, Roy's eyes immediately brightened.

"Dear mother-in-law! Now that the strength of the city of Athens is equivalent to that of a medium-sized city-state, we should also officially establish a city-state. I think we should use cement to build a luxurious palace on the Acropolis of Athens to prepare for the official establishment of a city-state."

"Build a palace—"

Seeing the hesitation on Zuksiper's expression, Roy continued.

"We have cement technology. Even if it is not to build a city or a state, we should build more comfortable and safer palaces to replace the old stone houses we live in now."

"Yeah!"

Philomela clapped her hands and said in agreement.

"The stone house we live in will seep in rainwater even if it doesn't leak on rainy days, so I support brother Roy's proposal to build a palace."

As his fiancée, Procne would not object to Roy's proposal.

"Mother, I also think we should build a palace and enjoy a more comfortable and safer life."

The beloved daughters all supported Roy's proposal, and Zeuxipo nodded.

"My son, how do you plan to build the palace?"

Roy picked up paper and pen and said while drawing the Acropolis.

"Mother-in-law, this is the Acropolis. I plan to build a palace with an area of ​​10,000 square meters on the Acropolis. The center of the palace is the hall where the throne is, and next to it are the two palaces where the king, his wife and the heir to the throne live. The left and right sides are separated. Twelve palaces will be built, with a total of twenty-four palaces for other members of the royal family to live in. In addition to planning a courtyard, I will also build twelve palaces as guest rooms behind the palace hall. and an indoor swimming pool—”

Roy finished telling all his plans, and Zeuxiper, Procne, and Philomela were all stunned.

After coming back to his senses, Procne couldn't help but say.

"Brother Roy, building this palace according to your plan will definitely consume a lot of manpower and material resources."

"The royal family should live in a palace that matches itself. No matter how much manpower and material resources we spend, it is worth it."

After Roy finished speaking, Philomela said in agreement.

"I support brother Roy's idea. Since we have the ability to build a luxurious palace, there is no need to wrong ourselves."

With the support of Philomela, Roy said to Zeuxipper.

"As long as my mother-in-law agrees, I will gather people to build our palace now."

Zeuxipo hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said.

"I agree to build this palace."

With Zeuxipel's consent, Roy began to build the palace boldly.

The reason why Roy is so concerned about building the palace is because on the surface, this palace is built for the Pandion couple, but in fact, this palace is built by Roy for himself.

When Loy became the ruler of the city of Athens, Loy would naturally become the master of the palace.

It was the third day when Roy started to build the palace.

Hundreds of craftsmen have dug the foundations and begun building the walls with cement.

The sun is shining brightly at noon.

When Roy checked the progress of the palace construction, Aries hurried to Roy and reported the good news to Roy.

"Master Priest! Now part of the seawater has turned into salt. Maybe by tomorrow, the seawater in the crystallization pool will turn into salt."

"very good!"

After hearing the good news, Roy patted Aries on the shoulder and said.

"You continue to guard the salt drying field, and you must not let the secret of the salt drying field be exposed."

After nightfall.

Roy was enjoying dinner with Zeuxippe, Procne, and Philomela in the hall of Pandion's house.

As soon as dinner started, a dusty figure suddenly entered the hall.

Seeing the sudden intrusion, Roy, Zeuxipper, Procne, and Philomela all widened their eyes in surprise.

"Honey--"

"Father!"

"Father is finally back."

"father in law……"

Looking at Pandion who suddenly returned to the Acropolis, Roy couldn't help but ask.

"Why didn't anyone notify us of our father-in-law's return?"

Seeing his beloved wife and daughter, Pandion said with a smile on his tired face.

"I wanted to give you a surprise, so I didn't send anyone to tell you that I was coming back."

After Pandion finished speaking, Danae came out from behind him.

Seeing Danae's hands holding Pandion's left arm, Procne and Philomela immediately showed displeased expressions, and Zeuxipel barely kept a smile on his face.

After Pandion took Danae to sit down at the stone table, he said to Roy.

"Loy, I have conquered the Lavrio tribe for you. Now Erechtheus is managing the Lavrio tribe for you. Tomorrow you will move to the Lavrio area with the Serifos people."

After hearing Pandion's request, Roy shook his head without hesitation.

"Dear father-in-law, I cannot travel to the Lavrio area right now."

Seeing Pandion's face turn ugly instantly, Roy continued.

"While my father-in-law was away, Deucalion, the prince of Knossos in Crete, visited our city of Athens and invited our city of Athens to participate in the spring plowing ceremony of Knossos. I have represented the city of Athens. Accept Prince Deucalion’s invitation. As the ruler of the city of Athens, it is certainly not convenient for my father-in-law to go to Knossos, a city thousands of miles away, to attend the Spring Plowing Ceremony, so I will go to Knossos on behalf of my father-in-law.”
