I was a priest in the city-state era

Donia is the second largest city-state in Crete.

Although it ranks second only to Knossos City, the strength of Donia City is vastly different from that of Knossos City.

Because the western area of ​​Crete ruled by the city of Donia is as barren as the Attica Peninsula, it is necessary to trade olive oil and wine to make up for the lack of food.

Of course, the strength and wealth of the city of Knossos has nothing to do with whether the territory of the city of Knossos is poor or rich.

The root of Knossos's power was the city's role as a trading hub in the Eastern Mediterranean.

As the second largest city-state in Crete, the city of Donia has a huge strength gap with the city of Knossos. This is because the city of Knossos has been suppressing the city of Donia and preventing the city from competing with Knossos. The city of Nossos vied for its position as a trade hub.

Although the strength of the city of Donia cannot be compared with the city of Knossos, the city of Donia is also a powerful and wealthy medium-sized city-state, so the princess of Donia, Pandora, can become Deucalion's fiancée-Knossos. The future queen of Thos.

After Deucalion introduced the identities of both parties, Pandora looked at Roy and Procne with a blank expression, like a goddess who disdained to communicate with humans.

Seeing that the cities of Knossos and Donia were both stronger than Athens, Roy took the initiative to speak to Pandora.

"Beautiful Princess Pandora, I am Roy, the priest of the city of Athens. I am very happy to meet you."

Procne followed.

"Princess Pandora, I am Procne, the fiancée of brother Roy."

After listening to Procne's self-introduction, Pandora asked expressionlessly.

"Why are you wearing a veil?"

Prokner was stunned for a moment, then touched the veil with his hand and said.

"I wear a veil to avoid bringing unnecessary trouble to brother Roy."

Pandora immediately revealed a joking smile and teased.

"Doesn't your man have the ability to solve problems?"

This question immediately stumped Procne.

Of course she couldn't say that her future husband was not capable enough.

Seeing that Procne could not answer her, Pandora immediately walked to Procne, reached out and took off her veil and said.

"Since you trust your man to protect you, don't wear a veil. The weather in Crete is so hot that wearing a veil will definitely make you feel uncomfortable."

Seeing this scene, Roy looked at Deucalion with questioning eyes.

Deucalion explained with a wry smile.

"My fiancée Pandora is different from ordinary people. She is not only the princess of Donia City, but also the incarnation of the moon goddess, the patron saint of Donia City, so her personality is a little different from us humans."

"She is the moon goddess?"

Roy couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock when he learned about Pandora's other identity.

Pandora, the moon goddess——

Moon goddess of Crete——

These two pieces of information reminded Roy of ancient legends from another world.

In ancient legends, there was a Minos [Minotaur] who ruled the city of Knossos named Deucalion, and his wife was named Pyrrha.

Pandora - Pyrrha!

These two names with similar pronunciation most likely belong to the same person.

The queen of King Minos of Knossos was also known as the Moon Goddess of Crete.

Roy never understood in the past that the moon goddess in Greek mythology lived in the Colchis area on the east coast of the Black Sea.

More than 3,000 years ago, due to underdeveloped navigation technology, there was no intersection between the city of Knossos and the Colchis region. Why did the moon goddess on the east coast of the Black Sea become Knossos on the island of Crete? City Queen.

Only now did Roy understand that Queen Knossos, known as the Moon Goddess of Crete, was actually the Moon Goddess of Crete.

Because there can only be one moon goddess in Greek mythology, the people who made up Greek mythology used the moon godhead as a medium to let the incarnation of the moon goddess on the east coast of the Black Sea replace the moon goddess of Crete and become King Mino of Knossos. Si's wife.

"The queen of King Minos of Knossos is the moon goddess of Crete! Deucalion is the next Minos [Minotaur] of the city of Knossos, and Pandora, as his fiancée, is the future Queen of Knossos. Then it is indeed possible that Pandora is the legendary moon goddess of Crete.”

Thinking of this, Roy said to Deucalion with some doubts.

"Prince Deucalion, Princess Pandora is the incarnation of the moon goddess - is she not a deified human princess, but a real goddess?"

Deucalion nodded, then whispered into Roy's ear.

"Hundreds of years ago, the city of Donia once fought with our city of Knossos to compete for the hegemony of Crete. Our city of Knossos's patron goddess Europa also fought with us to protect the city of Donia. A war of gods broke out in the moon goddess Pandora. The final result of the war of gods was that the great goddess Europa completely defeated the goddess Pandora. The defeated goddess Pandora fell into a long sleep. Now the goddess Pandora, who has been sleeping for hundreds of years, has recovered. She was injured, so her soul was reincarnated as Princess Pandora to make final preparations for the awakening of the goddess Pandora. The city of Donia has a competitive and hostile relationship with our city of Knossos. Princess Pandora can become my fiancée because of her. It is the reincarnation of the soul of the goddess Pandora.”

After hearing Deucalion's explanation, Roy blinked and said.

"It's such an important thing, does it really matter if you tell me?"

"It's not a secret."

Deucalion couldn't help laughing.

"If it was a really important secret, I certainly wouldn't tell you."

Roy rolled his eyes at Deucalion pretending to be dissatisfied, and then asked curiously.

"Prince Deucalion! Procne and I came to the palace to meet your father, King Minos. Does your father agree to see us?"

"My father doesn't know about you yet."

Deucalion said with an awkward smile.

"I will arrange for you and Princess Procne to stay in the guest room of the palace first. When I tell my father about your affairs and my father is willing to see you, I will take you to meet my father, King Minos."

Then, Deucalion looked at Pandora and Procne and said.

"Dear Pandora! Princess Procne! Now I will take you to the guest room of the palace and arrange for you to stay."

After that, Deucalion pulled Roy into the palace.

Pandora also pulled Procne to follow behind them.

Holding hands with Pandora, whom she met for the first time, Procne asked shyly.

"Princess Pandora, do you like me and want to be friends with me?"

"No!"

Pandora said expressionlessly.

"I treat you like this because you are a girl like me. During the time we live in Knossos, we can be each other's playmates."

Procne said more puzzledly.

"Although I don't mind being Princess Pandora's playmate, and even want to be your friend, don't you want to be with your fiancé, Prince Deucalion? As Brother Roy's fiancée, I have to be with Brother Roy day and night, just like a real couple."
