I was a priest in the city-state era

When the sun rises from the east.

Perseus and Pelops hastily cremated the bodies of the Seriphos soldiers, and then left Seriphos with the bodies of Polydectes and Dicetis, returning to Mycenae in the Argos region.

An unnamed island in the southern part of the Attica Peninsula.

Roy also continued to set off with his fleet and rushed back to the Piraeus Port in Athens.

It was noon.

Sixty large ships sailed into the Piraeus Port.

Because the Athenians in the port already knew that this was a fleet belonging to Athens, the Athenians in the port did not panic.

After the fleet anchored at the dock of the port, Roy gave orders to Aries and the captain of the guard Pallas.

"Aries! Captain Pallas! Now I'm going to give you two tasks. Aries, you are responsible for distributing the spoils, giving all the soldiers who went out to fight 100 kilograms of food, and then moving all the remaining spoils to my warehouse. Captain Pallas, you are responsible for bringing the Seriphos men to reunite with their wives and daughters, and helping them settle down in Athens. Do the tasks I assign, and you will have a place at the banquet to celebrate the victory."

"I will obey your orders!"

"I will definitely complete the orders of the High Priest."

After Aries and Captain Pallas of the Guards received the order, Roy took Chione ashore and returned to the Acropolis of Athens.

Acropolis Gate.

Before Roy and Chione entered the Acropolis of Athens, Procne and Philomela, who heard the news, rushed here.

Seeing that Procne had woven an olive branch wreath for herself like a wife welcoming her victorious husband, Roy walked up to Procne and bowed his head, letting Procne put the wreath on him.

"Brother Roy! Congratulations on your victory under the protection of the goddess Metis."

After Procne put a crown on Roy, Roy was about to raise his head when Philomela put a large crown on his neck.

"Philomela--"

Roy looked up at Philomela in surprise, and Philomela said with a smug smile.

"Brother Roy, you can't put two crowns on your head, so I made a crown that can be put on your neck. Are you happy to get the blessings of me and my sister at the same time?"

Can I say I'm not happy?

Although Roy was really happy in his heart, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"She is worthy of being the great goddess of the field, Philomela, who can actually create a second crown on the neck of the winner."

After all, Philomela's identity is not an ordinary person. She is not only the princess of Athens, but also the deified goddess of the field, Philomela.

So Philomela wearing a second crown on Roy's neck is likely to cause others to follow suit and eventually develop into a new custom.

"Hehehe——"

Philomela smiled complacently, then looked at Khione beside Roy with an unhappy expression and said.

"Brother Roy, you didn't take me and my sister with you when you went to the island of Seriphos, why did you take Khione with you?"

Procne didn't say anything, but she looked at Roy with a solemn look, obviously she was also a little concerned about this issue.

"Philomela, I took Khione with me because she is not a weak girl, but a strong female warrior. She can not only protect herself on the battlefield, but also provide help to me."

After Roy finished explaining, he continued.

"Procne! Philomela! I want to tell you one thing, because Khione and I went to the island of Seriphos and made achievements, so I want to remove Khione's slave status."

Hearing Roy's words, Procne immediately frowned.

If Khione's identity is Roy's slave, let alone Roy favors Khione, even if Khione gives birth to a child, her identity is at most Roy's lover.

Since Kaone is no longer a slave, she can become Roy's concubine or even his wife.

Of course --

Kaone is no longer a princess of the Eleusinian tribe. Even if she gets the status of a commoner, she is not qualified to compete with Procne for the status of his wife, and will not pose a threat to Procne's status.

But in essence, even if Kaone can only become Roy's concubine, she is still Procne's rival in love.

Although Procne realized that Kaone was qualified to be his rival in love, he still smiled sincerely and said to Kaone.

"Kaone, congratulations on your freedom. What are your plans in the future? Do you want to continue to be with Brother Roy?"

Kaone nodded calmly.

"As a girl, we must rely on men to survive. I no longer have a father and brother to rely on, so I will continue to stay with the priest and take care of my people with him."

"Are you going to be a commoner maid to serve Brother Roy?"

Philomela said jokingly.

"Chione! My sister is the fiancée of Brother Roy. You must serve my sister as the mistress in the future. I am the sister of my sister and Brother Roy. You must also serve me as half the mistress."

In this era, there are two kinds of male and female servants.

One is slave male and female servants, and the other is civilian male and female servants.

The male and female servants of Pandion's family are basically civilian male and female servants.

The parents of these male and female servants are civilians of the Athenian tribe.

Because they could not afford to raise children, they gave their children to Pandion to be raised as slaves.

As a ruler, Pandion must give these male and female servants some preferential treatment.

They will not be killed at will like slaves, and at the right time, male and female servants will be arranged to marry, and even let them regain their freedom.

Hearing Philomela's words, Chione smiled faintly.

"Even if you are not the priest's fiancée and fiancée's sister, I will serve you because you are the princess of Athens."

Seeing that Philomela seemed to be angered by Chione's words, Roy immediately said.

"Let's not stand here, I still have to report the situation to my father-in-law."

Father-in-law——

Hearing Roy's address to his father, Procne blushed instantly, walked to Roy and hugged Roy's right arm with both hands and said.

"Brother Roy, I will accompany you to see my father. Although I believe that Brother Roy will not lose to anyone, I have always been worried about you in my heart. Are you injured on the island of Seriphos?"

Roy smiled as he walked forward.

"Of course I'm not injured! When I was on Seriphos, my only enemies were King Polydectes and Prince Dectes. They were both middle-aged men who were old and weak, and they might not be able to defeat me even if they joined forces. I first dealt with Dectes, and then easily killed Polydectes, and I was not injured at all during the whole process."

After Roy finished speaking, Philomela came to Roy, hugged Roy's left arm with her hands and said coquettishly.

"Brother Roy, I also want to hear what happened to you on Seriphos."

Seeing Philomela's actions, Roy and Procne were frightened.

Although after Procne became Roy's fiancée, Roy was Philomela's brother in terms of morality, and Philomela was Roy's sister in terms of morality.

But this is not a real brother-sister relationship after all.
