I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 164 Father-in-Law Will Be Crowned King of Athens
Roy and Procne held hands and entered the Royal Palace of Athens. They saw that wooden doors and windows had been installed in each palace, and the steps outside the palace gates were also cleaned.

Looking inside from the open wooden doors, you can see that the palace is covered with wool carpets, wooden tables, wooden beds and other furniture.

When they came to the palace hall with the door open, Roy and Procne asked the palace maid outside the hall to take off their shoes, and then walked into the hall covered with woolen carpets.

In the spacious and bright hall, Pandion and several little chiefs sat around a wooden table. Behind him were three steps made of cement. On the steps was a throne carved out of white marble.

Seeing Roy and Procne, Pandion took the initiative to speak to them.

"My child, you really came back today. I have prepared a banquet for you, come and tell us about your achievements."

At this time, Harmonia followed Philomela, Chione, and Pandora into the hall. Roy exchanged glances with Harmonia behind him, and then brought the five girls to the center of the hall. The wooden table sat down opposite Pandion and said.

"Since my father-in-law wants to know, let me tell you! I brought the soldiers to Corinth City—"

Roy helped the city of Corinth until the Mycenaeans voluntarily retreated, formed the city of Corinth, the city of Thebes, led by Athens, and forced the King of Mycenae, Acrisios, to make a sacred oath to ensure that Tell me about the process of launching a war against the Three Goddess Alliance again, and finally point to Harmonia with your left hand.

"Father-in-law! The girl next to me is Harmonia. She is the priest and leader of Thebes."

After listening to Roy's words, Procne, Philomela, and Kione widened their eyes with disbelief on their faces.

Because Pandora only told them that Roy would bring back a new concubine, but did not tell them the name and identity of Harmonia.

Now knowing that Harmonia is the queen who ruled the city of Thebes, Procne felt a strong crisis in his heart.

Harmonia is not only as beautiful as Procne, but also has a more noble status than Procne, which can bring greater benefits to Roy.

If Procne thought he was a man, he would want Harmonia to be his wife.

After all, Procne was not the heir of Pandion. Even if Roy married Procne, he would not be able to inherit the powerful city of Athens.

But if Roy married Harmonia, he could become the ruler of the mighty city of Thebes.

Although Harmonia was his rival in love, Procne did not tell Pandion her true identity.

Because Procne understands that Pandion knows the relationship between Roy and Harmonia, and will immediately have unpredictable conflicts with Roy and Harmonia.

Harmonia has been observing Procne's reaction, seeing that Procne concealed his relationship with Roy, and Harmonia did not take the initiative to reveal his relationship with Roy.

"Is she the Harmonia of Thebes?"

Knowing that the blond girl in front of him, who was about the same age as his own daughter, was the Queen of Thebes, Pandion's eyes widened in surprise, and then he said enthusiastically.

"Beautiful Harmonia! If I know that this distinguished guest is coming, I will definitely go to the port to greet you personally. If you don't mind, I want to treat you as a junior."

Harmonia said with a smile.

"Dear Pandion, since the city of Thebes and the city of Athens are already allies, of course you can treat me as a junior."

Hearing Harmonia's answer, Pandion said happily.

"It seems that you are as good a girl as my daughter. Now I hope you can sit down and let me entertain you and Roy with a banquet."

After Harmonia sat down beside Roy, Pandion continued to ask.

"Harmonia, when the city of Athens was still the tribe of Athens, the tribe of Thebes was stronger than the tribe of Athens. Are you really willing to make the city of Athens the leader of the city of Thebes?"

Harmonia said without hesitation.

"Dear Pandion! Now the city of Athens is stronger than the city of Thebes, so I am sincerely willing to regard the city of Athens as the leader."

Seeing that Harmonia was not lying, Pandion probed.

"In order to strengthen the alliance between us, would you like to marry my son Erechtheus? As long as the two of you marry, the cities of Athens and Thebes can merge into a kingdom stronger than the Mycenaeans. .”

Pandion proposes a marriage between Harmonia and Erechtheus—

Before Roy could react, Procne threw himself on Roy's back and pleaded in Roy's ear.

"Brother Roy..."

Hearing Procne's voice, Roy's heart softened and he didn't react immediately.

"Dear Pandion!"

Harmonia and Roy looked at each other, then smiled at Pandion.

"Although I still look like an unmarried girl, I already have a husband, so I cannot marry your son."

"That's such a pity."

After Pandion finished speaking, a group of young and beautiful maids brought barbecue, white bread, fruit, and wine and put them on the wooden table.

Roy leaned close to Procne's ear and whispered.

"Procne! Pandora's identity is very important, you take her away first and hide her."

"Ok!"

After Procne nodded in agreement, he, Philomela and Chione surrounded Pandora and left the hall.

Pandion and a few little leaders enthusiastically exchanged glasses with Roy and Harmonia, and Harmonia also drank glasses of wine generously.

When everyone was a little drunk, Pandion suddenly said.

"Loy! Now that the city of Athens is so powerful, even the Mycenaeans dare not provoke us. The little chiefs all hope that I will establish a city and a state and become the king of Athens. You are willing to represent the goddess Metis as a priest, for me Will there be a coronation ceremony for the King of Athens?"

Crowned King of Athens—

Roy hesitated for a moment, then said with a joking smile.

"Tomorrow, I can represent the goddess Metis and hold a coronation ceremony for my father-in-law."

Hearing Roy's answer, Pandion said happily while holding his wine glass.

"I have become the real king of Athens, and Procne is the real princess of Athens. After you and Procne get married, you can also have the status of the royal family of Athens. I plan to be in Meteor after my coronation ceremony is over. How do you feel about holding your wedding with Procne under the witness of Goddess Si and everyone?"

"I obey my father-in-law's arrangement."

After nightfall.

Pandion, who was very drunk, was sent back to the bedroom by the maids, and the little chiefs also left the palace to go home.

Roy and Harmonia did not leave the palace, but were guided by a maid to Roy's own palace in the palace.

Roy led Harmonia into the palace, and saw Procne, Philomela, Chione, and Pandora sitting on a big bed covered with a white wool blanket, and Procne was hastily erasing The tear stains on the little face.

Seeing that Roy finally came back, Philomela immediately said with a puffy face.

"Brother Roy, quickly explain your relationship with this savage blonde woman."
