I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 470 The True Hittite Princess Hartpurna

In order to effectively rule the various city-states in the Yamhad area, Roy could only allow Athens soldiers to take over the cities of Emaar, Aleppo, Ebla, Hama, and Ugarit.

This left Lowe's Athenian soldiers with only 2000 men.

If Roy continues to conquer the cities of Ararakh and Samar, Roy's soldiers will be reduced to 1000 in order to effectively rule these two cities.

Such a small number of soldiers is obviously not enough to deal with the counterattack of the Hittite Kingdom.

So Roy did not take the initiative to launch an offensive, but recruited and trained Ebola soldiers in Aleppo.

After the number of soldiers is sufficient, Roy will incorporate the cities of Ararach and Samar into the territory of the Athens Empire.

mid-January.

The Royal Palace of Aleppo.

Roy is listening to the news reported by several thousand leaders in the palace hall.

A soldier guarding the gate of the palace suddenly broke into the hall, looked at Roy with ambiguous eyes and said.

"Your Majesty! There is a girl outside who wants to see you. She says she is your fiancée."

Hearing what the soldier said, Roy rolled his eyes and said.

"Do you believe her when she says she is my fiancée? If any woman comes and claims to be my fiancée, you have to come and report to me, then I'm going to be annoyed to death."

"But……"

The soldier said with a guilty conscience.

"But she is very beautiful, as beautiful as a goddess walking in the world. Only His Majesty's wives have such beauty comparable to goddesses."

Is it really my fiancee?

After listening to the soldier's introduction, Roy asked immediately.

"Did she reveal her identity?"

Seeing the soldier shaking his head, Roy said helplessly.

"Then take her to the hall and let me confirm her identity myself."

Several thousand leaders witnessed all this, looked at each other and showed smiles that men can understand.

If the girl outside the palace has an ugly face, even if she claims to be His Majesty's sister or wife, there is no need to report to His Majesty the Emperor.

If the girl outside the palace is as beautiful as a goddess, even if she knows that she is fake, she must report to His Majesty the Emperor.

After all, what is fake - can also become real!
After a moment-

A young girl who hid herself with a cloak and a hood, only revealing a strand of bee-blond hair under the hood, walked into the palace hall.

Seeing the strange figure of the girl, Roy knew that this was the first time the two met.

"How dare you pretend to be my fiancée, let me see your face."

Hearing Roy's order, the blond girl said while taking off her hood.

"I did not pretend to be your fiancée! According to the oracle of the great Moon Goddess, you are the husband arranged for me by the Moon Goddess, so I am indeed your fiancée."

After the girl took off her hood, she looked at her blond hair hanging down her waist, her big blue eyes as beautiful as jewels, and her perfect and delicate face—Roy couldn't help but stare.

Because the soldier just now did not lie, she is indeed as beautiful as a goddess walking in the world.

"you--"

"I am Hatepna, the Hittite princess."

The Hittite Princess Hatpurna—

In the history and mythology of another world, she is the wife of the Hittite king Tilepin, who was deified as a wild animal protection god after her death.

"You are really my fiancee."

Thinking of his agreement with the moon goddess Selene, Roy couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't expect you to be so beautiful. No wonder the great goddess of the moon wants to use your identity to walk the world. Your uncle Han Tiri launched a coup to seize the throne and killed your father Mursiri—do you need my comfort?"

Hartpurna shook her head and said.

"I don't need comfort! What I want is revenge. Are you willing to help me get revenge?"

Because the number of soldiers in his hands is not large, Roy has no plan to annex the entire Hittite Kingdom for the time being.

In Roy's plan, being able to include the Yamhad region and Kizuvatna region into the territory of the Athens Empire would be considered a bumper harvest.

"If I refuse to help you get revenge, what will you do next?"

"Find someone who is willing to avenge me."

Hartpurna said with a blank face.

"Since Han Tiri can use my aunt's identity as a Hittite princess to seize the Hittite throne, I believe that among the city-state princes of the Hittite Kingdom, some people will also want to use my identity as a Hittite princess to seize the throne."

"For example—Tielepin?"

Hartpurna nodded.

"Tie Liepin is one of the powerful princes of our Hittite Kingdom. If you refuse to help me avenge, I will go to find Ti Liepin."

"This is impossible! You are already my fiancee, and I don't allow you to marry other men."

"Then are you willing to avenge me?"

"It seems that I don't have the option to refuse."

Roy stood up from the throne, walked up to Hartpurna and asked.

"Are you really ready to make up your mind and want to exchange your marriage for me to help you avenge?"

Hartpurna nodded without hesitation.

"Then I will promise you in the name of the Moon Goddess that I will avenge you. If I break my promise, you can ask the Moon Goddess to punish me at any time."

After listening to Roy's words, Hartpurna breathed a sigh of relief, then her whole body limp and fell into Roy's arms and said.

"I'm hungry……"

Gollum-

Hartpurna's stomach let out a cry of hunger.

Roy asked curiously while ordering the palace maid to prepare a feast.

"Princess Hartpurna, how did you come to me?"

"I am the priestess of the Moon Goddess, and it was the Moon Goddess' protection that allowed me to come before you."

"I see!"

Even in the era 600 years later, it is very dangerous for a girl to travel alone.

In this era, Hartpurna was able to travel thousands of miles alone to come to Roy. The only reasonable explanation was that she was protected by the gods.

After the palace maid brought the food, Hartpurna asked while eating.

"When I passed the city of Samar, I saw that there was a celebration for Haddad's clone Nidabar. Why didn't the city of Aleppo celebrate?"

"The three Haddad brothers worshiped by the Amorites have been kicked out of the throne, and the patron saint of the Yamhad area will be the goddess Istanus."

"Istanus is the patron saint of Kizuvatna!"

Hartpurna said suspiciously.

"Isn't the local goddess of the Yamhad region the Ishhara worshiped by the Ebola?"

"Ishhara is Istanus!"

Roy couldn't help complaining.

"Didn't you find that the pronunciation of these two names is very similar? On the Mediterranean coast, Istanus, Ishhara, Astarte, Aphrodite, Astarte, Astaroth, Names such as Istanu belong to the same goddess."

"I didn't expect you, a foreigner from Athens, to know so much about our goddess in West Asia."

Hartpurna frowned and said.

"But Istanus is the goddess of the sun, which is obviously different from the goddess Aphrodite in the Phoenician region."

"The goddess Istanus became the sun goddess through the influence of Alina, your Hittite sun goddess, upon her."

Seeing Hartpurna showing a puzzled expression, Roy explained.

"You Hittites dominate the West Asia region, making the sun godhead the most powerful godhead in this region. After the Kizuvatna region was conquered by the Hittite kingdom, the goddess Istanus became the sun goddess—maybe this is why you The result of the deliberate promotion of the Hittite Kingdom. Istanus became the sun goddess, and Goddess Alina could assimilate and absorb her, making her a clone of Goddess Alina."
