I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 167 The Coronation Ceremony of the King of Athens
I wake up laughing when I sleep——

Roy originally thought that such a thing would never happen to him.

the next morning.

When Roy woke up from his sleep, he found that his face had become stiff because he had been smiling all the time, only to find that he was happier than he had imagined in his heart.

After all, he made an agreement with Pandora to make this fallen goddess who was reincarnated as a human being his fiancée, and Roy had a chance to live and be immortalized as a god.

"Honey!"

Hearing Harmonia calling him, Roy turned his head and saw Harmonia lying beside him, looking at him with a bright and sweet smile and saying.

"You can smile so happily even when you sleep, is it because you share the same bed with me?"

Although Roy doesn't like to lie, in order not to make Harmonia sad, Roy can only hold Harmonia in his arms and say.

"Harmonia, now you understand how much I love you!"

The girls who slept with Roy last night also included Chione and Pandora.

Procne and Philomela are bound by their parents and must return to their palaces.

After Roy and Harmonia woke up, they saw Chione, Pandora, and three maids busy making breakfast in the small kitchen of the palace.

After everyone had breakfast together, Roy looked at Harmonia, Chione, and Pandora with a serious expression and said.

"I plan to become the king of Athens today! You are all my women, so I will not hide my plan from you, and I need your help. Next, I will go to Pandion and ask him to gather most of the men in Athens Go to the temple square outside the temple of Metis. In name, this is to hold a coronation ceremony for Pandion. In fact, this is my coronation ceremony. Harmonia! Chione! In order to ensure that I can successfully seize power, I will be coronating After the ceremony begins, you will bring all 850 soldiers from the foot of the Acropolis into the Acropolis. Because today is a very important day, Pallas, the captain of the guard, will be in charge of managing the gate of the Acropolis. Chione! If Palas If he prevents you from entering the Acropolis, let him think about how his wife got here."

After hearing what Roy said, Harmonia couldn't help laughing.

"My dear, are you going to tell Procne and Philomela of your plans?"

Roy shook his head without hesitation and said.

"Although the two sisters have fallen in love with me, I don't think their love for me can surpass their love for their parents."

Then, Roy said to Pandora.

"Pandora, if you stay in the palace alone, don't go out and run around. Although I have the consciousness to break out of war with Knossos, and I have the confidence to defeat Knossos, but Athens and Knossos The later the war in Athens breaks out, the stronger the city of Athens will be able to develop."

Pandora said expressionlessly.

"I see."

Seeing Pandora's deja vu attitude, Roy immediately remembered that Pandora always treated her fiancé Deucalion with this attitude in the past.

Now that Roy became Pandora's fiancé, Pandora began to treat Roy with this attitude again.

It seems that Pandora didn't really hate Deucalion, she just simply hated her fiancé—or didn't want to marry a human man.

Roy didn't have time to worry about Pandora's attitude now. After telling the three girls, Roy left his palace in a hurry.

The largest palace in the Royal Palace of Athens, located behind the Royal Palace Hall.

Pandion and Zeuxiper lived in this palace which belonged to the king and queen.

When Roy came to the palace behind the hall, he saw Pandion, Zeuxiper, and Philomela all wearing brand-new pure white cotton robes, and Procne was dressed up as a beautiful bride to be married.

Because Pandion's coronation ceremony is over, Pandion will marry Loy and Procne as King of Athens.

Seeing Roy coming, Pandion immediately said happily.

"My child! I have sent people to summon the men of the city of Athens, and let them come to the temple square to witness my coronation as the king of Athens. Your mother prepared two crowns for my coronation, one is a golden crown cast in bronze. , one is a crown made of olive branches, which crown do you think I should crown with?"

Roy glanced at the bronze crown and olive branch crown placed on the stone table, then carefully picked up the olive branch crown that would be worn on his head with both hands and said.

"There are no copper mines on the Attica Peninsula. We Athenians not only rely on olive oil to obtain food, but also rely on olive oil to obtain various bronze utensils. Crowns made of olive branches are obviously more suitable for coronation ceremonies than bronze crowns."

Pandion nodded in satisfaction.

"As expected of my child, you think the same as me."

At this moment, Philomela came to Roy's side, grabbed Roy's robe and said.

"Brother Luoy, today is the day you and your sister get married, why didn't you wear a new set of clothes! Fortunately, my sister made a new set of clothes for you, so hurry up and change!"

After speaking, Philomela took Roy to a small room in the palace.

Roy could only hastily put down the olive branch crown, and said awkwardly.

"Philomela, I will change clothes with you. Don't keep pulling me like this. Father-in-law and mother-in-law will misunderstand."

"Misunderstanding that I am also your wife?"

Hearing Philomela's straightforward and bold words, Roy immediately looked at Pandion and Zeuxiper with a guilty conscience.

Pandion and Zeuxiper looked at Roy and Philomela with smiles on them, apparently not taking Philomela's words seriously.

Roy breathed a sigh of relief, and then said silently in his heart.

After today - there is no need to hide my relationship with Philomela.

When Roy and Pandion, Zeuxiper, Procne, and Philomela arrived at the Temple Square under the protection of hundreds of soldiers, there were already thousands of Athenian men-including the Eleusis men and the Seri men. Foss men, gathered in Temple Square.

The men were all over the age of 16 and under 60, able to mobilize in times of war and therefore considered citizens.

Women and children were not considered citizens and so were not called to the king's coronation.

On the square under the Acropolis Hill.

Knowing that the coronation ceremony had begun, Chione and Harmonia led 850 soldiers and began to climb the mountain path leading to the Acropolis.

When the army came to the gate of the Acropolis, the guard captain Pallas led a group of soldiers in a defensive position and said.

"Stop! You want to bring so many soldiers into the Acropolis, do you want to rebel? You leave now, I can take it as a misunderstanding."

Kaone immediately came to Pallas and said.

"Captain Pallas! Priest Loi asked me to tell you—don't forget how your wife came here."

Of course Pallas would not forget that his wife, the sister of Perseus, the noble Princess Serifos, was a spoil given to him by Roy.

Hearing Kaone's words, Pallas gritted his teeth and said.

"It is because I have not forgotten that I will give you a chance to leave."

At this time, Harmonia came to Kayone, swung the bronze spear unexpectedly, and put the spear blade on Pallas' neck and said.

"Kione, why bother talking nonsense with him. If he dares to stop us, I'll kill him immediately, lest he ruin Roy's affairs."
