I was a priest in the city-state era

Now Roy is not only a priest serving the gods, but also has three hundred followers.

With Roy's current strength, ordinary married women would fall in love with Roy, and their husbands would not have the strength to challenge Roy.

If a queen falls in love with Roy, it will definitely be a disaster for Roy.

In ancient legends, the cause of the Trojan War was that Queen Helen of Sparta fell in love with Prince Paris of Troy and eloped back to Troy with Paris.

"Goddess Mnemosyne! It doesn't matter even if the Harmonian priest loses his love for me. Can you help me to make the blessing of the goddess Aphrodite disappear from me?"

Roy panicked and asked Mnemosyne for help. Mnemosyne shook her head and said.

"It's such a pity that I can't remove Aphrodite's blessing from you. If you don't want other women to fall in love with you, then try your best to prevent them from having a good impression of you."

Then, Mnemosyne looked at Harmonia and said.

"Now that you know this man will be haunted by women, are you still going to marry him?"

Harmonia said with a bright smile.

"Mnemosyne! Even if he didn't have Aphrodite's blessing, I would have many love rivals, because a man can have many women, just like my father, the former leader of the Thebes tribe. But I am confident that I can defeat all my love rivals and not let other women take away my position as my wife.”

"But he doesn't love you!"

"I have confidence in my beautiful figure, and I believe Roy will fall in love with me."

Seeing how determined Harmonia was, Mnemosyne turned to Roy and said.

"Since Harmonia wants to marry you, will you accept her?"

Roy remained silent, neither refusing nor accepting.

Because Roy didn't know in his heart whether he should accept or reject.

The benefits of accepting Harmonia are obvious. By becoming Harmonia's husband, Roy can become the leader of the Thebes tribe and rule the wealthy Thebes area and even the island of Eubia.

But accepting Harmonia and becoming the leader of the Theban tribe would be tantamount to betraying the Athenian tribe and the goddess Metis.

"You don't want to accept Harmonia?"

Hearing the question from the goddess Mnemosyne, Roy shook his head and said.

"I want to accept Harmonia, but I don't want to betray the Athenian tribe."

"Honey, I understand how you feel."

Harmonia said with a smile.

"The goddess Metis is the patron saint of the Athenian tribe. As a priest who serves the goddess Metis, you definitely don't want to become a traitor to the Athenian tribe and be abandoned by the goddess Metis. I have a way to get you to marry me. At the same time, he will not become a traitor to the Athenian tribe and will not be abandoned by the goddess Metis.”

Roy's eyes lit up and he immediately asked Harmonia.

"Priest Harmonia, what method are you talking about?"

"My dear, as long as you become the leader of the Athenian tribe, no one in the Athenian tribe can turn you into a traitor."

"I became the leader of the Athenian tribe—"

In this era, the ruler of a tribe or city-state was of course a chief or a king.

Priests became rulers of tribes or city-states because the chief or king usually served as priest himself.

For example, King Minos of Knossos in Crete was the highest priest of the goddess Europa, the Pharaoh of southern Egypt was the highest priest of the sun god Amun, and the king of the Hittite Empire was the highest priest of the Sun Queen.

Even if the leader or king does not personally serve as a priest, his or her family members will serve as priests, keeping the divine power and royal power in the hands of their own families.

After Loy married Harmonia, only Pandion, the leader of the Athenian tribe, could turn Loy into a traitor to the Athenian tribe.

As long as Loy replaces Pandion as the leader of the Athenian tribe and holds the divine and royal power in his hands, even if Loy marries Harmonia, no one in the Athenian tribe can turn Loy into a traitor.

Seeing the shaken expression on Roy's face, Harmonia continued.

"My dear, it seems you also want to become the leader of the Athenian tribe."

Roy shook his head and said.

"Chief Pandion has the authority to rule the Athenian tribe for twenty years. Even if I am the priest of the goddess Metis, I cannot replace him."

"You are not alone. You have the support of me and the Thebes tribe behind you."

The strength of the Theban tribe was not inferior to that of the Athenian tribe.

As long as the Theban tribe fully supports it, Roy can forcibly overthrow Pandion's rule by force and become the next leader of the Athenian tribe.

"Harmonia, will you really support me and help me become the leader of the Athenian tribe?"

Harmonia, who had been kneeling to the goddess Mnemosyne, turned around and knelt before Loy as if she were worshiping a god.

"Dear! Although I am a priest and leader of the Thebes tribe, I am also an ordinary woman. After we get married, I will dedicate everything to you, and I will do my best to support whatever you want to do. "

"Harmonia——"

After hearing what Harmonia said, Roy immediately knelt down on one knee and held Harmonia tightly in his arms with both hands.

If Harmonia had said what she just said somewhere else, Roy would never believe her easily.

Because in Roy's opinion, as long as Harmonia is not a love-minded girl, she will definitely put the interests of the Thebes tribe more important than herself.

But this was in front of the altar of the goddess Mnemosyne, and Harmonia said those words just now under the witness of the goddess Mnemosyne.

As a priestess of the goddess Mnemosyne, Harmonia could not lie in front of the goddess Mnemosyne.

So the words just now were as sacred as Harmonia's oath.

Roy could fully believe that Harmonia would definitely devote her body and mind to him.

"Dear Roy, do you want to marry me?"

To be honest, although Roy was amazed by Harmonia's beauty and figure, Roy did not fall in love with Harmonia because of just a few days of contact.

Although Roy did not love Harmonia, Roy still responded.

"As long as you are willing to marry me, I will marry you."

Roy certainly understood that under the witness of the goddess Mnemosyne, his words were as sacred as an oath.

But Roy has made up his mind. In order to become the leader of the Theban tribe, to rule the rich Thebes region and even Eubia Island, Roy is willing to marry Harmonia.

Looking at Roy and Harmonia hugging each other, the goddess Mnemosyne sighed and said.

"Another silly woman who is blinded by love."

During the thousands of years of guarding the Thebes region, Mnemosyne has witnessed the lives of thousands of people.

In those happy or unfortunate lives, girls like Harmonia are most vulnerable to men.

"What kind of emotion is human love that can make these girls who fall in love with men rush forward like moths to the fire?"

The goddess Mnemosyne quickly suppressed this curiosity in her heart, because in her opinion, love is an emotion that she, as a goddess, has absolutely no chance of having.
