I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 353 Holding a Family Banquet with Father-in-Law's Family

Acropolis.

The three of Roy finished patrolling the city and returned to the Royal Palace of Athens with the big cats and kittens they bought. All the girls in the palace watched curiously around the two cages.

While lions and cheetahs are ferocious predators when they grow up, their cubs are lovable pets.

Philome teased the little lion and cheetah in the wooden cage, and asked Roy.

"Brother Luoy, these animals are so cute. If you buy them at the price of [-] catties of grain, will that businessman suffer?"

ooh-

At this moment, the lioness in the wooden cage let out an angry roar and protected the cub under her paws.

Roy said with a smile.

"Philomela, don't think that it is very difficult to capture lions and cheetahs because they have fangs and claws. We humans can wear armor to defend against their fangs and claws, and we can also use tools to capture them alive. The businessman hired [-] people to help him catch these beasts at the price of [-] catties of grain a month, and he only needed to spend [-] catties of grain. If I gave him the price of [-] catties of grain, he could make a net profit of at least [-] catties of food. And it is impossible for them to catch only this pair of lioness mother and cub and cheetah mother and cub in a month."

"That businessman can make a net profit of [-] catties of grain with these beasts—"

Even Philomela, being a royal, couldn't help clicking her tongue.

Procne said worriedly.

"Brother Luoy, if we let that businessman earn so much food, will they capture more beast mothers and cubs to sell?"

"Don't worry, they won't be able to do this kind of business for long."

Roy looked at the lioness mother and cub and cheetah mother and cub in the wooden cage and said.

"When these little lions and cheetahs grow up, there will be four lions and five cheetahs. These are gold-eating beasts that ordinary nobles can't afford or raise. Only the royal family and the big nobles can afford to buy and raise them. "

When the cubs and cheetahs grow up, they will be fed with a sheep every day.

On the surface, it seems that there are not many sheep, but one sheep per day will kill 360 five sheep a year.

Not to mention that commoner families don't have such luxury, even ordinary noble families don't have such luxury.

After the two palace maids brought the raw meat for feeding, Roy threw the two lamb legs into the wooden cage, and the lioness and cheetah immediately devoured them. Obviously, the Phoenician businessman did not let them eat enough meat.

While her mother's attention was on the food, Roy grabbed a lion cub and a cheetah cub from the wooden cage, handed them to Procne and Philomela and said.

"You have to develop a relationship with these little guys first, and when the lioness and cheetah are fully domesticated, you can release them from the cage."

Ow—

Meow--

The little lion and the little cheetah made cute meows in Roy's hands, and Procne and Philomela immediately took the two cute little guys and hugged them in their arms.

Seeing Io and Andromeda looking enviously at Procne and Philomela, Roy smiled.

"If you two behave well, I can give you one too."

Time flies to the end of June.

As the news of Roy's upcoming marriage spread, not only the invited guests came to Athens, but also many uninvited guests also came to Athens.

That night, Roy held a family dinner in the palace.

Because Roy's cheap father-in-law Pandion brought Perseus' mother Danae to Athens, and cheap uncle Erechtheus had already arrived in Athens yesterday.

Palace hall.

Roy, Procne, Philomela, Pandion, Zeuxipper, Danae, and Erechtheus sat round a table.

Seeing that Pandion was taking good care of Danae with care, and his wife, Mrs. Zeuxiper, was completely absent in his eyes. As children, Procne, Philomela, and Erechtheus all showed expressions of dissatisfaction.

Philomela said directly and viciously.

"Since Danae became my father's concubine, the relationship between father and mother has become worse and worse. Brother Roy, can we kill Danae?"

"of course can!"

Roy replied without hesitation.

"The strength of the Kingdom of Athens has far surpassed that of the Kingdom of Mycenae. Even if we kill Danae, we don't have to worry about the revenge of her father, King Acrisios of Mycenae."

After Danae hid in Pandion's arms in horror, Pandion said dissatisfiedly.

"How can you children say such things! Although I have loved Danae very much recently, it is because Danae has my child in her belly, that is, your younger brother or sister. If you hurt Danae , is tantamount to hurting your half-brother or sister."

Danae is pregnant—

After hearing this information, everyone turned their attention to Danae's abdomen.

Unexpectedly, Pandion and Danae had a new child in middle age.

Danae had a half-brother or sister in her belly, and now even Philomela, who was a little wayward, did not dare to say anything that hurt Danae.

Roy couldn't help but feel a little worried at this time.

Danae gave birth to a sister-in-law for herself, but if she gave birth to a sister-in-law, would Procne and Philomela become the legendary Fudimo——

Will Pandion seek the status of ruler of a city and a country for this youngest son?
"Father-in-law! Since you are back, stay in Athens!"

In order to prevent Pandion from having undue ambitions, Roy decided to withdraw his status as the governor of Corinth, and let Chione take over the city of Corinth and become the veritable Queen of the Five Cities.

Being deprived of power by Roy, Pandion said with some dissatisfaction.

"Loy! I don't mind you taking away my power, but why don't you give more power to Procne and Philomela? I heard that Pandora, Mnemosyne, and Keone were all given by you The right to rule the five big city-states is called the queen of the five cities by you. Procne and Philomela ruled Athens together, and they are only half-city queens. Should you let them rule the ten big city-states?"

"next year--"

Roy said with a serious face.

"Father-in-law, I can assure you that next year I will give Procne and Philomela the right to rule in accordance with their identities."

After making a promise to the cheap father-in-law, Roy looked at Erechtheus and said.

"Erechtheus, you have been in charge of mining silver mines in Lavrio before. Now I want to give you a new job. You go to the west of the Macedonian Great Plains and manage the Ferris and Phthia tribes for me! I still remember that you like girls with different hair and eyes from ours, girls with blonde hair and blue eyes from the Ferris tribe and the Phthia tribe, you can take whatever you like."

"Am I an instrument without a will of my own?"

Erechtheus said dissatisfied.

"You asked me to work for you, and you didn't ask me if I would accept it?"

"Don't you want to?"

Roy looked at Erechtheus meaningfully and said.

"I believe you don't want any accidents to happen to my marriage with Procne and Philomela!"

His younger sister is about to become Roy's first wife - the most honorable queen of the Kingdom of Athens. Of course, Erechtheus does not want her sister's happiness to be destroyed by him.

He had no choice but to accept Roy's arrangement.
