I was a priest in the city-state era

Aries is a follower of Roy, so he can accept the princess given by Roy without hesitation.

Pallas is Pandion's vassal, and even if Loy is Pandion's son-in-law, he cannot just accept what Loy gives him.

After all, Pallas was not a child. He must have understood that Roy had to pay a certain price for giving him a noble and beautiful young princess.

After hesitating for a moment, Pallas looked away from the six princesses and said.

"Master Priest, my merits are not enough for me to be rewarded with a princess."

"Captain Pallas! If I promise you that I will not compete with Erechtheus for the identity of the heir, and you do not need to choose between me and Erechtheus, are you still unwilling to accept my gift? ?”

"this……"

Pallas had a hesitant expression on his face and looked at the six princesses again.

As a commoner, it would undoubtedly be a great honor to marry a noble and beautiful young princess.

Aries also said in confusion at this time.

"Captain Pallas, this is our only chance to marry the princess. If we miss this opportunity, we will definitely regret it in the future."

After hesitating and struggling in his heart for a while, Pallas finally gritted his teeth and said.

"Master Priest, I want to get the oldest princess."

Roy immediately patted Pallas on the shoulder and smiled.

"No problem! From now on, Perseus' eldest sister belongs to you. Captain Pallas! From now on, you can proudly claim that you are the grandson-in-law of Acrisios, the king of Mycenae, and the noble Mycena. The royal family of Sini.”

People in this era are still too naive after all.

Pallas had no idea that Loy, as a filial son-in-law, would directly compete with his father-in-law Pandion for the dominance of the city of Athens.

At that time, although Pallas does not need to choose between Loy and Erechtheus, he will have to choose between Loy and Pandion.

Peloponnese Peninsula.

Argos region.

Mycenae.

While Perseus' mother and sisters suffered various humiliations, Perseus was in the palace of King Acrisios of Mycenae, crying to his grandfather Acrisios about his misfortunes.

Acrisios on the throne learned that his son-in-law Polydectes and his brother Dicetis were killed by the Athenians, and that his daughter Danae and three granddaughters also became the spoils of the Athenians. He looked at Perseus kneeling in front of him with pitiful eyes and said.

"Perseus - my poor grandson! Even if I were a hard-hearted old man, I would sympathize with your misfortune."

Hearing that Acrisios did not mention revenge for himself at all, although this was expected, Perseus still felt chilled.

After all, Danae is not only his mother, but also his daughter.

It seems that in the heart of this Mycenaean king, the interests of the entire Mycenaean community are the most important.

Perseus raised his head, looked at Acrisios, the sixty-year-old man's old face and cried.

"Grandfather! Now my father and uncle have been killed by the Athenians, and the residents of Serifos have also been taken away by the Athenians. I have lost my foothold. How can I survive in this world in the future?"

"My child, you are not only the prince of Serifos Island, but also my grandson!"

Acrisios stretched out his right hand and touched Perseus' head and said.

"Although I can't make you my heir, I can make you own a new territory and become the king of a city-state."

Become the king who rules a city-state—

This certainly didn't satisfy Perseus' appetite.

Because in the Mycenaean system, the Mycenaean king was the ruler of all Mycenaeans.

In other words, even if Perseus becomes the king of the city-state, he must obey the orders of the Mycenae king.

It is precisely because of this system of the Mycenaeans that Perseus’ goal is not to become the king of a certain city-state, but to inherit the identity and power of his grandfather Acrisios and become the common king of all Mycenaeans. king.

As long as Perseus becomes king of Mycenae, the vast territory owned by the Mycenaeans will become Perseus' territory.

"Dear grandpa, I am willing to obey all your arrangements."

Although Perseus has the ambition to become the heir, he cannot reveal this ambition yet because his current strength is not enough to defeat all competitors, let alone seize power directly from his grandfather Acrisios.

After hearing Perseus' words, Acrisios nodded with satisfaction and said.

"Perseus! I will immediately send messengers to the city of Athens to redeem your mother Danae and your sisters."

In fact, Perseus was not enthusiastic about rescuing his mother and sisters.

Because the more miserable his experience is, the more sympathy and care he can get from his grandfather Acrisios, but he cannot object to Acrisios redeeming his mother and sisters.

"Grandfather! My family suffered such a tragedy, which made me deeply aware of the weakness of my own strength. Now I beg my grandfather, I hope that as the highest priest of the great god Zeus, you can grant me Zeus's blessing."

Upon hearing Perseus' request, Acrisios did not immediately agree.

Because Perseus is already a young hero, giving Perseus the blessing of Zeus will accelerate his growth into a great hero [Thousand Enemies].

Once Perseus grows into a great hero [An Enemy of Thousands], Acrisios's sons and grandsons will not have enough strength to compete with Perseus for the position of heir.

Thinking of his dead son-in-law Polydectes and Danae who had become a trophy of the Athenians, and looking at the pitiful look on Perseus' face full of tears, Acrisios finally nodded and said.

"I can ask the great Zeus to give you a blessing, but you must fight for the Mycenaeans and help us defeat Sisyphus, the king of Corinth who refuses to surrender."

Acropolis.

"Brother Roy..."

"Brother Roy..."

Roy woke up from last night's hangover and heard the voices of Procne and Philomela calling him.

"Sure enough, drinking too much wine can make people drunk!"

Roy complained as he opened his eyes.

Seeing Procne and Philomela standing happily beside his bed, Roy said with wide eyes.

"Am I dreaming? Procne and Philomela can't come to me so early."

After saying that, Roy closed his eyes.

"Brother Roy, it's really me and my sister. You are not dreaming."

Seeing that Roy really wanted to continue sleeping, Philomela immediately shook Roy's arm.

Procne explained with a smile.

"Brother Roy! My father and brother Erechtheus left the city of Athens early in the morning with five hundred soldiers to attack the Lavrio tribe in the southern part of the Attica Peninsula. Now Philomela and I don't need to be punished by our father. Control, that’s why we came to you early in the morning.”

Hearing Procne's words, Roy opened his eyes and said.

"My mother-in-law agreed to you coming to me so early, isn't she worried?"

Procne turned her head to avoid Roy's gaze, blushed and whispered in a low voice.

"My mother said that I am already Brother Luoyi's fiancée. If Brother Luoyi messes with me, my mother will arrange for us to get married tomorrow."
