I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 172 This is something only I can do

Roy's second day as king of Athens.

Pandion left the city of Athens with [-] personal guards, and the turbulent undercurrent in the city of Athens disappeared immediately.

After all, no matter how stupid those who opposed Roy were, they would not choose to support Procne and Philomela to overthrow their husbands.

Those who opposed Roy had no target to support, so they could only lie dormant temporarily, waiting for Pandion or Erechtheus to return to Athens.

The Royal Palace of Athens.

After sending off his father-in-law Pandion, Roy brought Procne, Philomela, Harmonia, Chione, and Pandora to the palace hall.

Sitting on his own throne, Roy stretched out his hands to the girls and said.

"Now does any of you want to sit on the throne with me and experience what it's like to be queen?"

After the girls looked at each other, Harmonia came over and sat on Roy's knees, then lay her body in Roy's arms and said.

"Honey! I have been away from Thebes for a long time, so I plan to take my soldiers back to Thebes."

"Harmonia—"

Knowing that he was going to be separated from Harmonia again, Roy hugged Harmonia's slender waist tightly with both hands, and said reluctantly.

"It's a pity that no one can manage the Thebes area for you now. When the situation in Athens stabilizes, I will definitely go to Thebes city to accompany you often."

It may take two or even three days to walk from Athens to Thebes.

If you ride a fast horse, you can go back and forth between Athens and Thebes in only two hours.

Therefore, Roy can handle government affairs in Athens during the day, and then go to Thebes to spend the night in the afternoon.

"My dear, you must do what you say."

Harmonia hugged Roy's neck with both hands, and said with a forced smile on his face.

"I have built a palace in Thebes with cement that belongs to us. It is a love nest that belongs only to me and you. Not only the Athenians in the Attica peninsula need your rule, but the Thebes in the Thebes area People also need your rule. When you come to Thebes next time, I will serve as the priestess of the goddess Mnemosyne, and in the name of the goddess Mnemosyne, I will crown you as the king of Thebes."

After finishing speaking, Harmonia bit her cherry lips towards Roy.

Seeing Roy and Harmonia sticking together, Philomela pouted her lips with an unhappy expression.

But thinking that Harmonia was about to leave, Philomela was happy that there was one less rival in Athens.

At the foot of the Acropolis Mountain.

An Athenian named Sinnes was wandering around the city of Athens with two followers.

To be able to have followers, Sinise's identity is certainly not an ordinary person.

His father's name was Skeron, who was originally a small leader in the city of Athens.

Although Roy has enacted a law to abolish the special status and power of the little chieftain, the civilians will still look at Sinise with awe when they see Sinise.

"It seems that the new law of the stranger did not bring any changes to the city of Athens."

Feeling the awe of the commoners, Sinnis said to the two followers with a smug smile.

"Although the foreigner took away part of our property, we are still nobler than the common people. When the foreigner understands that the management of Athens is inseparable from the help of the little chiefs, he will definitely grant my father and other small chiefs the status of nobles, and I will also You will have a hereditary aristocratic status based on noble blood. If only the status of the royal family can be hereditary, it is not too unfair to us."

Sinnis obviously didn't think that the existence of nobles was also unfair to commoners.

Just when Sinnis was about to return to the Acropolis with two entourages, his eyes were suddenly attracted by a young and beautiful girl.

It was a young girl who was washing clothes in front of her house. Although she was a commoner's daughter, she had one of the best looks in a hundred.

After Sinnis looked at the girl carefully, he brought two followers to the girl and said.

"You are such a lucky girl. I plan to make you my concubine. Come back to the Acropolis with me!"

In this era, if the daughter of a commoner's family is favored by a big shot, even if she can only become a concubine, there are very few people who are unwilling.

Because the life of the common people is poor and hard, and they become the concubine of the big man, and they can live a life without worrying about food and clothing.

Hearing Sinnis' request, the laundry girl hurriedly said.

"Sorry! I already have a fiancé, and I will get married in a few days."

"How dare you refuse me—"

It is an honor given to her by the gods to see the daughter of a commoner family.

The daughter of a commoner's family dared to refuse herself.

Sinnis angrily picked up the girl and carried it on his shoulders, then strode away regardless of the girl's cries and struggles.

When the girl's mother and younger siblings heard the sound, they immediately ran out of the wooden house.

Recognizing Sinnis' identity, the girl's mother did not dare to offend Sinnis with her young child, and could only cry in despair and helplessness.

The male master of the neighbor's house sympathized with them and said to the girl's mother.

"What's the use of you crying! Maybe you can go to the palace and ask the King of Athens for help, and let the King of Athens uphold justice for you and save your daughter. If the King of Athens chooses to protect the son of the little leader, then you should really despair, Just treat your own daughter as being snatched away by robbers."

Hearing what the neighbor said, although the girl's mother didn't believe that Roy would punish the little leader's family for the common people, she didn't want to give up the last hope of saving her daughter.

After returning the young children to the house, the teenage mother cried and ran towards the Acropolis.

Acropolis.

Palace hall.

At this time, the people in Roy's arms had changed from Harmonia to Procne and Philomela.

After Procne and Philomela reluctantly withdrew their cherry lips, Roy joked to Chione and Pandora with a full smile.

"Then you two are going to come one by one, or like Procne and Philomela, all together?"

Pandora said expressionlessly.

"I'm not interested in doing this kind of thing with you."

"I will do it if you don't want to, and I will treat each of you fairly."

After Procne and Philomela left Roy's arms, Roy grabbed Pandora's right arm and forcibly pulled her into his arms.

Before Roy could continue, a soldier guarding the gate of the palace ran into the hall and said.

"Great King of Athens! A mother whose daughter was robbed came to the palace and asked for your help."

Roy frowned.

"Under my rule, something happened to rob girls?"

Pandora, who was originally expressionless, laughed jokingly.

"With the King of Athens who forced me like you, how are you different from the guy who robbed the girl?"

Roy immediately lowered his head and bit Pandora's cherry lips, until Pandora's little face was blushing so hot that Roy raised his head and said.

"Of course it is possible to rob girls in the city of Athens, but only I can rob girls. Now I want to see which stupid guy dares to challenge the authority of the King of Athens. As the first sinner to be punished by me, I will make him regret his stupidity."
