I was a priest in the city-state era

The city of Babylon.

royal palace.

Andromeda lay lazily on the throne in the hall, listening to the news reported by the palace maid.

Ever since the news of Roy's death was confirmed, the most distressing thing for Andromeda was the appearance of a large number of suitors.

In Greek mythology from another world, Odysseus' wife was just the widow queen of the island of Ithaca, which covered an area of ​​​​93 square kilometers, and she could attract hundreds of suitors.

Andromeda ruled from Babylonia to Phoenicia - a territory of up to 300,000 square kilometers, an area more than 3,000 times the size of Ithaca.

Increase the number of one hundred suitors three thousand times, and theoretically, Andromeda could have as many as three hundred thousand suitors.

Of course, myths are fabricated false stories after all.

In reality, it is certainly impossible for the widow queen of Ithaca to attract hundreds of suitors, and it is impossible for Andromeda to attract 300,000 suitors.

Although Andromeda did not have three hundred thousand suitors, she still had three hundred suitors.

What makes Andromeda even more distressed is that her parents also support her in choosing a new husband among the suitors.

After all, Andromeda was under twenty years old and had not given birth to a child with Roy, so of course she couldn't just be a widow for the rest of her life.

"Your Majesty the Queen! The suitor who wants to meet you today is the prince of the Kingdom of Elam."

"The Kingdom of Elam——"

After hearing the words of the palace maid, Andromeda said doubtfully.

"Didn't the heroic god Gilgamesh say he wanted to destroy the Kingdom of Elam?"

"A large number of Elamite compatriots migrated from the Persian plateau to the Elam region, which strengthened the Elamite Kingdom. Therefore, Gilgamesh only conquered half of the Elamite Kingdom's territory and returned to the throne of heroes."

"Since the Kingdom of Elam is still there, their prince probably doesn't just want me to propose!"

"It is said that there is also an Elamite prince who went to the city of Uruk to propose to Queen Semiramis."

Seeing Andromeda didn't respond, the palace maid continued.

"Queen Andromeda! If Queen Semiramis marries the Kingdom of Elam, she may be more powerful than you."

"So you think I should marry the Kingdom of Elam?"

Andromeda looked at the palace maid with dissatisfied eyes and said.

"I don't know who asked you to say such unnecessary words to me, but I will drive you out of my palace and let others know the consequences of betraying me."

"Her Majesty the Queen——"

Serving as Andromeda's personal maid not only earns you a huge salary, but you also get close to Queen Andromeda, the center of power.

Now that she lost her job because of one word, the palace maid immediately showed regret and pain on her face.

After driving away the talkative palace maid, Andromeda couldn't help but look to the southeast and said.

"Is Semiramis as troubled as I am?"

The Aryans were a patriarchal society, and women from the ruling class usually did not remarry.

This can be seen from the Greek mythology of another world.

In Greek mythology, wives who were faithful to their husbands were praised.

There are stories of wives remarrying after the death of their husbands. Only the mother of Heracles remarried Rhadamandis after the death of her husband Amphitryon.

Apart from this, there are no explicit stories of widows remarrying others.

Odysseus' wife was wooed by a hundred suitors. Not only did she not accept the suitors, but she also used the fighting between the suitors to delay the marriage while raising her young son.

Andromeda and Semiramis, as descendants of Aryans, of course also received the education of loyalty to their husbands.

"It would be nice if I had a child."

Touching her belly, Andromeda sighed and said.

"If I had a child, whether it was a boy or a girl, I would remain faithful to you."

In Greek mythology, a widow with children would remain faithful to her husband.

Childless widows usually died for their husbands.

During the Trojan War, the first hero to land was the first to die, and his fiancée or wife ended his life in pain.

Andromeda was not a widow with children, but she did not want to be a widow without children.

"Do you really want a child that much?"

Along with the joking teasing, Roy's figure suddenly appeared in the hall.

Seeing Roy suddenly appearing, Andromeda's eyes widened in surprise, thinking she was hallucinating.

It wasn't until Roy climbed up to the steps of the throne and sat next to Andromeda and stretched out his left hand to hug Andromeda's waist that Andromeda pushed Roy away with both hands in panic and said.

"Who are you? My husband is dead. Are you trying to disguise him as a human or a god?"

Seeing that Andromeda actually doubted his identity, Roy not only didn't get angry, but said with a smile.

"Am I your dear husband? You can touch me to see if my face is fake."

After speaking, Roy put his face in front of Andromeda.

"I am a foreigner from the far east, so my face is unique here and cannot be disguised by humans."

Andromeda tentatively stretched out her hands and pinched Roy's cheeks.

"Your face is real, so you can't be a human pretending to be my husband."

"Then do you think I am a god who deceived you?"

Roy held Andromeda's small hands with his own and said.

"The city of Babylon is the territory of the goddess Aphrodite, and you are the highest priestess who serves Aphrodite. If I were the god who deceived you, Aphrodite would not allow you to be controlled by me. "

"So you're not some god pretending to be my husband—"

Andromeda looked at Roy in disbelief and asked.

"Is the news of your death false? Did you deliberately fake your death for some purpose?"

As she spoke, Andromeda's eyes welled up with big tears.

Because she felt hugely cheated.

Roy hurriedly held Andromeda in his arms and comforted her.

"Andromeda, I did not fake my death. Your husband Roy is indeed dead. The me you see now is a heroic god enshrined by the Athenian Empire, and also a sun god from Armenia. Phaethon, the sun god who usurps the sun godhead."

"You said you are a god now——"

Andromeda looked at Roy with suspicion.

"You're lying to me, I heard that the hero god Gilgamesh doesn't have a real body. You have the same body as before, so you can't be the hero god."

"I am indeed different from ordinary heroic gods."

Roy nodded and said.

"Hero God has no body, so he cannot move freely. I am a Hero God with a human body, so compared to the title of Hero God, I am more like a human god between humans and gods."

In order to prove his identity to Andromeda, Roy stretched out his right hand and released a blazing sun fire in the palm of his hand.

Witnessing the miracle performed by Roy, Andromeda still said in disbelief.

"You have really become a human god now? Then can you still be with us humans?"

Roy put his forehead against Andromeda's and said.

"I come to you now just to fulfill your wish - to let you have a child. You will know if I can be with you and experience it for yourself."
