I was a priest in the city-state era

In order to effectively rule the city-states in the Yamhad region, Loy could only let Athenian soldiers take over the cities of Emaar, Aleppo, Ebla, Hama, and Ugarit.

This left Loy with only two thousand Athenian soldiers.

If Roy went on to conquer the cities of Aralach and Samar, Roy's soldiers would be reduced to a thousand men in order to effectively rule the two cities.

Such a small number of soldiers was obviously not enough to deal with the Hittite kingdom's counterattack.

So Roy did not take the initiative to launch an attack, but instead recruited and trained Ebra soldiers in Aleppo.

When the number of soldiers is sufficient, Roy will include the cities of Aralach and Samar into the territory of the Athenian Empire.

Mid-January.

The royal palace in Aleppo.

Roy was listening to the news reported by several thousand leaders in the palace hall.

A soldier guarding the palace gate suddenly broke into the hall, looked at Roy with ambiguous eyes and said.

"Your Majesty! There is a girl outside who wants to see you. She says she is your fiancée."

After hearing the soldier's words, Roy rolled his eyes and said.

"Do you believe her when she says she is my fiancée? If any woman comes and claims to be my fiancée, and you have to report it to me, then I will be annoyed to death."

"But……"

The soldier said with some guilt.

"But she is very beautiful. She is as beautiful as a goddess walking on earth. Only His Majesty's wives have such beauty that rivals goddesses."

Is she really my fiancée?

After listening to the soldier's introduction, Roy immediately asked.

"Did she say who she was?"

Seeing the soldier shake his head, Roy said helplessly.

"Then take her to the hall and let me confirm her identity myself."

Several thousand captains witnessed all this and looked at each other with smiles that all men would understand.

If the girl outside the palace has an ugly face, even if she claims to be His Majesty's sister or wife, there is no need to report to His Majesty the Emperor.

If the girl outside the palace is as beautiful as a goddess, even if it is known that she is fake, she must be reported to His Majesty the Emperor.

After all, what is fake can become real!

After a while——

A girl who concealed herself with a cloak and hood, with only a strand of bee-colored blond hair exposed under the hood, walked into the palace hall.

Seeing the girl's unfamiliar figure, Roy knew that this was the first time the two met.

"How dare you pretend to be my fiancée, let me see your face."

After hearing Roy's order, the blonde girl took off her hood and said.

"I did not pretend to be your fiancée! According to the oracle of the great Moon Goddess, you are the husband arranged for me by the Moon Goddess, so I am indeed your fiancée."

After the girl took off her hood, looking at her blond hair hanging down around her waist, her beautiful big blue eyes like jewels, and her perfect and delicate face - Roy couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Because the soldier just now did not lie, she was indeed as beautiful as a goddess walking on earth.

"you--"

"I am Hattepuna, the Hittite princess."

Hittite princess Hatepuna——

In the history and mythology of another world, she was the wife of the Hittite king Tieliepin. After her death, she was deified as a protector of wild animals.

"You are really my fiancée."

Thinking of his agreement with the moon goddess Selene, Roy couldn't help but laugh.

"I didn't expect you to be so beautiful. No wonder the great moon goddess wanted to walk the world with your identity. Your uncle Hantili launched a coup to seize the throne and killed your father Mursili - do you need my comfort?"

Hatepuna shook her head and said.

"I don't need comfort! What I want is revenge. Are you willing to help me get revenge?"

Because there are not many soldiers in his hands, Roy has no plans to annex the entire Hittite Kingdom for the time being.

In Roy's plan, being able to include the Yamhad area and the Kizuvatna area into the territory of the Athenian Empire would be a great harvest.

"If I refuse to help you get revenge, what will you do next?"

"Find someone willing to help me take revenge."

Hatepuna said expressionlessly.

"Since Hantili can use my aunt's identity as a Hittite princess to seize the Hittite throne, I believe there will be people among the city-state princes of the Hittite Kingdom who want to use my identity as a Hittite princess to seize the throne."

"For example - Tie Lieping?"

Hatepuna nodded and said.

"Tie Lieping is one of the most powerful princes in our Hittite Kingdom. If you refuse to help me take revenge, I will go to Tie Lieping."

"This is not okay! You are already my fiancée, and I will not allow you to marry another man."

"Then are you willing to help me get revenge?"

"Looks like I don't have the option of saying no."

Roy stood up from the throne, walked to Hartepuna and asked.

"Are you really ready to trade your marriage for my revenge?"

Hatepuna nodded without hesitation.

"Then I promise you in the name of the Moon Goddess that I will definitely avenge you. If I break my promise, you can always ask the Moon Goddess to punish me."

After hearing Roy's words, Hatepuna first breathed a sigh of relief, then collapsed into Roy's arms and said.

"I'm hungry……"

Gululu——

Hatepuna's belly growled with hunger.

Roy asked curiously while ordering the palace maids to prepare the feast.

"Princess Hatepuna, how did you come to me?"

"I am the priestess of the Moon Goddess, and it is the Moon Goddess's protection that brings me to your presence."

"I see!"

Even 3,600 years later, it is very dangerous for a girl to travel far alone.

In this era, the only reasonable explanation for Hatepuna being able to travel thousands of miles alone to come to Roy is that she was protected by the gods.

After the palace maid brought the delicious food, Hatepuna asked while enjoying the meal.

"When I passed the city of Samar, I saw that there were celebrations for Haddad's doppelgänger Nidabar. Why wasn't Aleppo celebrating?"

"The three Hadad brothers worshiped by the Amorites have been driven off the throne. From now on, the patron saint of the Yamhad region will be the goddess Istanus."

"Is Istanus the patron saint of the Kizuvatna region?"

Hatepuna said doubtfully.

"Isn't the local goddess of the Yamhad region Ishhara worshiped by the Ebra people?"

"Ishhara is Istanus!"

Roy couldn't help but complain.

"Did you not notice that the pronunciation of these two names is very similar? On the Mediterranean coast, Istanus, Ishhara, Astarte, Aphrodite, Astarte, Astaru, Names like Istanu all belong to the same goddess.”

"I didn't expect you, a foreigner from Athens, to know our goddess from West Asia so well."

Hatepuna frowned and said.

"But Istanus is the sun goddess, which is obviously different from the goddess Aphrodite in the Phoenician region."

"The transformation of the goddess Istannus into the sun goddess was the result of the influence of your Hittite sun goddess Alina on her."

Seeing Hatepuna's confused expression, Roy explained.

"You Hittites dominate the Western Asia region and make the Sun Godhead the most powerful Godhead in this region. After the Kizuvatna region was conquered by the Hittite Kingdom, the goddess Istanus became the Sun Goddess - this may also be your The result of the deliberate promotion of the Hittite Kingdom. When Istanus becomes the sun goddess, the goddess Alina can assimilate and absorb her, making her a clone of the goddess Alina."
