I was a priest in the city-state era

The city of Atrebis.

When the sun rose in the east, Roy rode his fast horse back here all night.

At this time, Andromeda was no longer carried on Roy's shoulders, but was sitting in front of Roy and fell asleep in Roy's arms.

Roy rode a fast horse to the Governor's Palace. The three Athenian soldiers who were entrusted by Roy to manage the city got the news and immediately ran out from the Governor's Palace to greet Roy.

Seeing Roy actually appearing in front of them, the three Athenian soldiers said excitedly.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

"We thought you were really going to hand this city over to us."

"Now that you're back, we can finally be freed from the burden of running the city."

Roy jumped off the horse with Andromeda in his arms. Seeing Andromeda open her eyes and wake up, Roy said while leading three Athenian soldiers into the Governor's Palace.

"Of course I will not let you three inexperienced people manage an important city for a long time. This is not only irresponsible to you, but also irresponsible to the people of Atrebis City. So next, you must follow me Side by side, learn how to manage the city of Atrebis.”

Seeing that Roy had not given up the idea of ​​letting three people manage the city, the three Athenian soldiers immediately looked at each other.

Roy continued to speak to them.

"Don't put too much burden on me. I'm not asking you to be unconventional and capable people and develop this city. As long as you manage the city according to my structure and be a mediocre person who follows the rules, I won't care if something goes wrong. I'll blame you."

"But we are just three ordinary soldiers..."

"I've already said that I won't blame you if problems arise. If you persist for a while, I will soon transfer officials who can read and numerate from Athens. I can forgive you for making mistakes because of your inexperience, but if you If you make a deliberate mistake by accepting bribes when managing the city, you and your family will be punished. My punishment for the betrayer is to send the whole family to the underworld. You also know this as long as you three are responsible. Co-consul of Atrebis, I will give you a monthly salary of one thousand catties of grain.”

Under Roy's coercion and inducement, the three Athenian soldiers finally agreed to govern the city of Atrebis.

Roy also took Andromeda back to his room in the Governor's Mansion.

After throwing Andromeda on the bed like a pillow, Roy lay down on the bed and prepared to sleep holding his human-shaped pillow.

Andromeda cautiously approached Roy and said.

"My dear, have you forgiven me?"

Snap!

Roy slapped Andromeda's beautiful little face again, then opened his eyes and said.

"Andromeda, have you abandoned your boring fantasy? I will not give anyone a chance to betray me a second time. From now on, your identity in front of me will be just a slave, a beautiful doll, and a human form. Pillow, a tool for giving birth. Don’t think that as long as you apologize to me, I will slowly calm down and forgive you. For me, there are only zero and countless betrayals if I give others a chance to betray me. , my Kingdom of Athens will collapse soon. It is because the price of betraying me is unbearable, so even if many people have the idea of ​​betraying me, they dare not actually betray me. "

After listening to Roy's words, Andromeda said with tears full of grievance.

"If I betrayed you for another man, I can accept any punishment from you. But I betrayed you only for the sake of my seriously injured and dying father. Do you really want me to betray you because of love? Are you an unfilial daughter who doesn't care about your father's life or death?"

"You don't have to explain to me. I said I understand you, but that doesn't mean I can forgive you."

Roy said expressionlessly.

"Since my weight in your heart is not as important as your father's, you can betray the trust I gave you the first time for your father, then you can betray my second trust for your father. To me, you are no longer A trustworthy person, my attitude towards you will not change in any way. Andromeda, my trust in you is like spilled water. You can't take back the spilled water, so I won't. Trust you again.”

After saying that, Roy closed his eyes and prepared to fall asleep on Andromeda's lap pillow.

"woo woo woo woo……"

Listening to Andromeda's cries of grievance and feeling her tears dripping on her face, Roy said impatiently.

"Don't feel that you have been greatly wronged. You have no idea how much I once trusted you. My goal is to conquer the whole of Egypt, so I once thought that when I conquer the whole of Egypt, I will let you, the Egyptian princess, Become the queen of Egypt who will rule Egypt on my behalf. Now I am so lucky to have discovered that you are an untrustworthy woman. If I continue to trust you, you will definitely dedicate the Egypt that I worked so hard to conquer to your father and make the whole of Egypt. Paradise for you Hyksos, and you will be worshiped as a goddess by all the Hyksos."

Roy actually wants to become the queen who manages the entire Egypt——

Andromeda first widened her eyes in shock, then cried aggrievedly and helplessly.

"My dear, you are as important to me as my father. I will never betray you for my father. I will choose my father between you and my father because my father is seriously injured. Can you really not forgive me?"

"Stop crying! If you make me unable to sleep, I will cut off your tongue and make you unable to cry again."

Under Roy's intimidation, Andromeda stopped crying immediately.

After the room quieted down, Roy began to hesitate whether he should give Andromeda another chance.

But there are only zero and countless compromises.

Since Andromeda has been given a chance to betray once, should all the girls around him have a chance to betray him once according to the same standard?

Even according to the same standard, all the subjects of the Kingdom of Athens have a chance to betray him once?

Thinking of this consequence, Roy immediately gave up the idea of ​​forgiving Andromeda.

Although Andromeda's betrayal was excusable, Roy could use Andromeda as a warning to all the girls around him, so that even if they were his women, they would not have a second chance to betray him.

And if Andromeda became a negative example, Roy's rule could be more stable.

Because the subjects of the Kingdom of Athens saw the case of Andromeda, they would understand that the women around Roy would not have a second chance to betray him, and the punishment for other people who betrayed Roy would only be more severe than Andromeda.

In other words, even if Roy wanted to make Andromeda a negative example to warn the girls around him and the subjects of the Kingdom of Athens, he could never forgive Andromeda's betrayal.

Andromeda did not have the ability to read minds. At this time, she foolishly believed that as long as she served Roy wholeheartedly, Roy would definitely forgive her.
