I was a priest in the city-state era

Defeating the Mycenaeans in the war was undoubtedly an unprecedented victory for the Athenian tribe.

At this time, in the vast open space of the Acropolis, more than 800 Athenian soldiers were sitting on the ground. The injured soldiers were given special care by the Pandion family maid, and the uninjured soldiers were drinking the wine distributed to them.

In the open space next to it, the Pandion family's male servants set up a dozen bronze tripods and cooked oatmeal mixed with mutton and beef for the soldiers.

In order to reward these Athenian soldiers, the generous Pandion asked the male servants to slaughter twelve cows and twelve sheep.

The stone hall of Pandion's house.

Roy and Tereus sat down with Pandion's family around a stone table.

After the young and beautiful maid brought fruit, wine and white bread, Pandion spoke enthusiastically to Tereus.

"Dear Tereus, let me thank you once again for bringing your soldiers to assist us Athenians. If your city of Elis is attacked in the future, we Athenians will also try our best to help you."

After hearing Pandion's words, Tereus smiled lightly.

This was the real purpose of his aid to the Athenians.

The strength of the Mycenaeans was too strong. If the Mycenaeans invaded the Elis region, even if the city of Elis of Tereus and the city of Olympia of Oenomanos united, they would not be able to defeat the Mycenaeans.

Only by forming an alliance with the powerful forces around the Argos region and fighting against the Mycenaeans could it be possible to defeat the Mycenaeans.

Tereus's purpose should have been this.

After meeting Procne and Philomela, Tereus changed his mind.

After toasting each other with Pandion, Tereus looked at Pandion and Zeuxiper and said.

"Chief Pandion! Lady Zeuxipus! Although I am over twenty years old, my first wife passed away not long ago. Now I want to become a true ally with the city of Athens. You are willing to marry your daughter to Give me the beautiful and noble Princess Procne to be my queen?"

In fact, Tereus's first wife was still alive.

But after Tereus met Procne and Philomela, his first wife was already a dead person in Tereus' heart.

Perhaps when Tereus returns to the city of Elis, his first wife will become a dead person in a real sense.

Tereus suddenly proposed to Procne, and Procne immediately looked at Loy with panic eyes.

Even if he couldn't see Procne's face hidden by the veil, Roy knew that her face must be full of fear.

Before the Pandions could respond, Roy turned to look at Tereus and said coldly.

"Tereus! I'm afraid I must disappoint you. Procne and I have confessed our love for each other, so Procne cannot marry you because she will become my wife."

After Roy finished speaking, Pandion and Zeuxiper, who were not shocked by Tereus' proposal, immediately looked at Roy with wide eyes in shock.

In this era, a girl's marriage was entirely decided by her father. If the father died, it was decided by her brothers.

Roy and Procne confessed to each other——

This is obviously against tradition.

After giving Roy an annoyed look, Pandion asked Procne.

"My dear daughter, do you really fall in love with Roy and confess your love to him?"

Procne lowered her head like a child who made a mistake and said.

"Father! Mother! Brother Roy and I love each other. I hope you can marry me to brother Roy."

Although Procne went against tradition, Pandion was a daughter-slave who loved her daughter.

He couldn't bear to hurt Procne, so he glared at Roy with fierce eyes and said.

"Loy! Do you really love Procne and want her to be your wife?"

"Procne can only marry me!"

Roy looked at Pandion with a firm look and said.

"If you don't agree with me marrying Procne, no matter who you want Procne to marry, I will kill my love rival."

"Brother Roy..."

Hearing Roy's declaration, Procne looked at Roy with emotion.

"snort!"

Pandion snorted coldly, neither saying that he would agree to the marriage between Loy and Procne, nor that he would prevent Loy from marrying Procne.

Because at this moment, Loy can be used to reject Tereus' proposal.

Although Tereus is the king of the city of Elis, which meets Pandion's requirements for a son-in-law, and Procne can become queen if she marries Tereus, the city of Elis is really too far away.

Moreover, Tereus and Procne did not even exchange a word. Tereus proposed to Procne either because he regarded Procne as a marriage prop to form an alliance, or because he was attracted by Procne's youth and beauty. Not really in love with Procne.

"Dear Tereus, I'm so sorry."

Pandion said, pretending to be ashamed.

"How can my daughter be your wife if she is so shameless?"

I don't mind!

It doesn't matter whether she is ashamed or not. What I admire is not her character, but her youth and beauty.

Terrios could only say these words in his heart.

On the surface, Terrios could only force a smile and said.

"Since Princess Procne already has an object of affection, of course I can no longer ask Princess Procne to marry me. In order for us to form an alliance, I now ask you to marry Princess Philomela to me."

After failing to propose to Procne, he actually proposed to Philomela——

Tereus's actions made Pandion, Zeuxippe, and Erechtheus frown at the same time.

Philomela looked at Procne with a pleading look like a frightened little rabbit.

"Sister..."

Zeuxippe said dissatisfiedly.

"King Tereus, my daughter Philomela is only fifteen years old now."

"Then let me get engaged to Princess Philomela first, and I will marry Princess Philomela next year."

Tereus said with a smile on his face.

"Princess Philomela can become the queen of Elis if she marries me. I will definitely respect and love her and make her the happiest wife in the world."

Seeing that Pandion did not immediately reject Tereus' proposal, but showed a serious expression of thinking, Roy couldn't help but say.

"Tereus, Philomela can't marry you because she is also my woman."

Roy's words were like a stone-crushing blow, not only others, but even Philomela herself was frightened.

When did I become Roy's brother's woman?

Philomela blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked at Roy with doubtful eyes.

Procne looked at Roy with eyes that were about to cry. She couldn't believe that Roy was not satisfied with her and actually attacked her sister.

Pandion came back to his senses from the shock and immediately said angrily.

"Roy, are you crazy? Do you want all my daughters to marry you and let one of my daughters become your concubine?"

Erechtheus stood up and said angrily.

"You are so greedy, my sister will never be happy if she marries you. Now I don't agree with Procne marrying you, nor do I agree with Philomela marrying you. As their brother, I will never let my sister be hurt by you."
