I was a priest in the city-state era

Roy and Procne held hands and entered the Royal Palace of Athens. They saw palaces with wooden doors and windows installed, and the steps outside the palace doors were also cleaned.

Looking inside from the open wooden doors, you can see that the palace is covered with wool carpets and furnished with wooden tables, beds and other furniture.

Arriving at the palace hall with the door open, Roy and Procne asked the palace maid outside the hall to take off their shoes, and then walked into the hall covered with wool carpets.

In the spacious and bright hall, Pandion and several minor leaders sat around a wooden table. Behind him were three steps built of cement. On the steps was a throne carved out of white marble.

Seeing Roy and Procne, Pandion took the initiative to speak to them.

"My child, you are indeed back today. I have prepared a banquet for you. Come and tell us about your achievements."

At this time, Harmonia followed Philomela, Chione, and Pandora into the hall. Roy looked at Harmonia behind him, and then led the five girls to the center of the hall. Wooden Table said as he sat down across from Pandion.

"Since my father-in-law wants to know, let me tell you! I took the soldiers to the city of Corinth——"

Roy helped the city of Corinth until the Mycenaeans voluntarily retreated, formed the Three Goddess Alliance of Corinth, Thebes, and Athens, and forced the Mycenaean King Acrisios to make a sacred oath to ensure that he would not She then carefully recounted the story of how she launched the war against the Three Goddess Alliance, and finally pointed at Harmonia with her left hand.

"Father-in-law! The girl next to me is Harmonia. She is the priest and leader of the city of Thebes."

After hearing Roy's words, Procne, Philomela and Chione opened their eyes wide with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Because Pandora only told them that Roy would bring back a new side room, but did not tell them Harmonia's name and identity.

Now knowing that Harmonia was the queen who ruled the city of Thebes, Procne felt a strong crisis in her heart.

Not only is Harmonia's beauty not inferior to that of Procne, but she also has a nobler status than Procne, which can bring greater benefits to Roy.

Procne felt that if she were a man, she would want Harmonia to be his head wife.

After all, Procne is not Pandion's heir. Even if Roy marries Procne, he will not be able to inherit the powerful city of Athens.

But by marrying Harmonia, Roy would become the ruler of the powerful city of Thebes.

Although Harmonia was his love rival, Procne did not tell Pandion her true identity.

Because Procne understands that Pandion knows about the relationship between Loy and Harmonia, and will immediately have an unpredictable conflict with Loy and Harmonia.

Harmonia had been observing Procne's reaction. Seeing that Procne was concealing her relationship with Roy, Harmonia did not take the initiative to reveal her relationship with Roy.

"Is she the Harmonia of Thebes?"

Upon learning that the blond girl in front of him, who was about the same age as his own daughter, was the queen of Thebes, Pandion first widened his eyes in surprise, and then spoke enthusiastically.

"Beautiful Harmonia! If I know that this distinguished guest of yours is coming, I will definitely go to the port to greet you personally. If you don't mind, I want to treat you as a junior."

Harmonia said with a smile.

"Dear Pandion, since the city of Thebes and the city of Athens are already allies, of course you, the elder, can treat me as your junior."

Pandion said happily after hearing Harmonia's answer.

"It seems that you are as good a girl as my daughter. Now I hope you can sit down and let me entertain you and Roy with a banquet."

After Harmonia sat down next to Roy, Pandion asked next.

"Harmonia, when the city of Athens was still the Athenian tribe, the Thebes tribe was more powerful than the Athenian tribe. Are you really willing to let the city of Athens become the leader of the Thebes city?"

Harmonia said without hesitation.

"Dear Pandion! The city of Athens is now more powerful than the city of Thebes, so I am sincerely willing to regard the city of Athens as the leader of the alliance."

Seeing that Harmonia was not lying, Pandion probed.

"In order to consolidate our alliance, are you willing to marry my son Erechtheus? As long as you two marry, the cities of Athens and Thebes can merge into a kingdom more powerful than the Mycenaeans. "

Pandion actually proposed a marriage between Harmonia and Erechtheus——

Before Roy could react, Procne jumped on Roy's back and spoke in a pleading tone in Roy's ear.

"Brother Roy..."

Hearing Procne's voice, Roy's heart softened and he did not react immediately.

"Honored Pandion!"

Harmonia and Roy looked at each other, then smiled at Pandion and said.

"Although I still look like an unmarried girl, I already have a husband, so I cannot marry your son."

"That's such a shame."

After Pandion finished speaking, a group of young and beautiful maids brought roasted meat, white bread, fruits, and wine and placed them on the wooden table.

Roy leaned into Procne's ear and whispered.

"Procne! Pandora's identity is very important. You take her away first and hide her."

"Um!"

After Procne nodded in agreement, she, Philomela and Chione left the hall surrounded by Pandora.

Pandion and several minor leaders enthusiastically exchanged glasses with Roy and Harmonia, and Harmonia also drank glasses of wine generously.

When everyone was a little drunk, Pandion suddenly said.

"Loy! Now the city of Athens is so powerful that even the Mycenaeans no longer dare to provoke us. The small leaders all hope that I will build a city and establish a state and become the king of Athens. Are you willing to represent the goddess Metis as a priest and serve for me? A ceremony to crown the King of Athens?"

Crowned King of Athens——

Roy hesitated for a moment, then said with a joking smile.

"Tomorrow I can represent the goddess Metis and hold a coronation ceremony for my father-in-law."

Hearing Roy's answer, Pandion raised his glass and said happily.

"I have become the real king of Athens, and Procne is the real princess of Athens. After you marry Procne, you can also have the status of the Athenian royal family. I plan to go to Meteor after the ceremony of my coronation as the king of Athens. What do you think about holding your wedding to Procne in the presence of the goddess Si and everyone?"

"I follow my father-in-law's arrangements."

After nightfall.

The drunken Pandion was sent back to the palace by the maids, and the little leaders also left the palace and went home.

Roy and Harmonia did not leave the palace, but were led by a maid to Roy's own palace in the palace.

Roy took Harmonia into the palace, and saw Procne, Philomela, Chione, and Pandora sitting on a big bed covered with fine white wool blankets. Procne was hurriedly erasing Tears on the little face.

Seeing Roy finally coming back, Philomela immediately said with a puffy face.

"Brother Roy, please explain your relationship with this savage blonde woman."
