I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 102 Both of them belong to me
As the older brother of Procne and Philomela, Erechtheus has a higher say in the marriage of the two younger sisters than even his mother Zeuxiper.

Hearing what Erechtheus said, Roy said with a faint smile.

"Besides me, Procne and Philomela can no longer marry anyone, because their bodies already belong to me. Maybe in a month or two, their bodies will show signs of pregnancy."

Pregnant--

Procne and Philomela looked at each other with wide-eyed eyes, confirming that the other party was still an unmarried girl through eye contact.

In other words, what Roy told was a lie.

Not only Procne and Philomela who were the parties involved, but even Pandion and Zeuxipper had already seen that Roy was lying.

Because the whereabouts of Procne and Philomela have always been in their hands, they know that Procne and Philomela have no chance to lose their lives to Roy.

Even when Roy and Procne were alone in the room, there was a maid outside monitoring the sound in the room.

Erechtheus also frowned, obviously not believing Roy's words.

Because Erechtheus knew the characters of Procne and Philomela, even if they really fell in love with Roy, they would not dare to do things that would shame the family.

Although he saw that Roy was lying, Pandion did not expose Roy's lie, but asked Philomela.

"Philomela, have you really fallen in love with Roy, and devoted yourself to him?"

Philomela just hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said.

"Brother Roy is right, I am now Brother Roy's woman."

Seeing that Philomela would rather tarnish her own reputation than marry Tereus, Pandion frowned and said to Tereus.

"Dear Tereus! My two daughters are not worthy of you, so don't mention the marriage. Even if we have no marriage relationship, we Athenians will be allies with you against our common cause. Enemy Mycenaeans."

Tereus was not an unmarried boy.

As king of Elis, Tereus had many women.

So Tereus has long seen that Procne and Philomela are innocent maidens.

It was precisely because it was confirmed that Procne and Philomela were unmarried girls that Tereus proposed to Procne and Philomela.

Roy claimed that Procne was his woman. Although Tereus was a little skeptical, he had to accept it, because Procne also claimed to love Roy.

Now, in order to prevent Terius from proposing to Philomela, Roy even declared that Procne and Philomela had lost their virginity to him——

The lie was so obvious, and Tereus was not a fool, so of course he would not be deceived by Roy's lie.

"Pandion leader! Usually only a low-status person will marry his two daughters to a high-status man, and let his two daughters serve as one husband."

Tereus said to Pandion with a playful smile.

"Could it be that in the city of Athens, the status of the priest of Loi is higher than that of the leader of Pandion, so you let two daughters serve one husband?"

It is undoubtedly a great shame for Pandion that both daughters have become Roy's women.

So Tereus wanted Pandion to expose Roy's lies, denying that Procne and Philomela were Roy's women.

That way he can go ahead and propose.

Hearing Tereus' words, Pandion frowned expressionlessly.

In order to reasonably reject Tereus' marriage proposal, Pandion can acquiesce to Roy's lie.

But it's certainly a shame.

If Pandion wants to remove this shame, he can only break Roy's lie, claiming that Procne and Philomela are still maidens.

At this moment, what Pandion needs to consider is—is it important that the daughter does not want to marry Tereus, or is the family's reputation important?

Pandion turned to look at Procne and Philomela, exchanged glances with the two daughters, and then Pandion looked at Roy.

Seeing that Roy's eyes no longer had the awe of the past, and there was a strong confidence in his eyes that dared to confront him, Pandion said loudly driven by anger.

"My servants are with Procne and Philomela at all times, so I can be sure that both daughters are unmarried."

"That means Priest Loy is lying!"

Tereus said to Roy with a smug smile.

"Priest Loi, you are so greedy that you don't hesitate to lie to deceive Princess Procne and Princess Philomela. How can the noble Princess of Athens be your concubine? Princess Procne and Princess Philomela can only One will be your wife."

"If I choose Procne, will you propose to Philomela? If I choose Philomela, will you propose to Procne?"

Roy stood up, looked at Terius with cold eyes and said.

"Tereos! Since you exposed my lies, let's settle this matter with men. I will not allow Procne and Philomela to marry you. If you want to propose to them, use you The strength to defeat me. If you lose to me, you have to give up the idea of ​​proposing to them."

"You're going to duel with me—"

Tereus stood up and said with a confident smile.

"I am the darling of the great God of War Ares, and I am stronger than ordinary heroes [Hundred Enemies]. Since you want to challenge me stupidly, then I will defeat you with my strength and prove that I am more qualified than you to be Husband of Procne and Philomela."

After Roy and Terius left the hall, Philomela couldn't help but said to Procne.

"Sister! Brother Roy fought Perseus for you yesterday, and today he is going to fight Tereus for us. Could it be that we are the troubled women that Brother Roy said?"

Procne shook his head and said.

"Brother Roy said that calling a woman a beauty is just an excuse for a man to fail. I believe that brother Roy will win. Even if brother Roy loses, I would rather die than marry another man."

"Me too!"

Philomela continued.

"That guy named Terios proposed to me without even saying a word to me. I would rather be Roy's concubine than marry Tereus."

"Philomela—"

Procne widened his eyes in shock and said.

"Do you know what you're talking about? You said you'd rather...be Brother Roy's concubine?"

"Because my sister will marry Brother Luo Yi as his legal wife!"

Philomela said with a smile.

"My sister loves me so much, she will definitely not bully my concubine as a wife, nor will she suppress my child."

Seeing Philomela's innocent smile, Procne hugged her excitedly and said.

"I will treat your child as my child! If... If your thoughts are serious, then let you be the legal wife, and I will be brother Roy's concubine."

Fortunately, Pandion, Zeuxiper, and Erechtheus had already gone outside to watch the duel between Roy and Tereus.

If they heard the conversation between Procne and Philomela, they would definitely not accept that both Procne and Philomela had the idea of ​​marrying Roy.
