I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 58 The Unconscious Kayone
When night falls.

Loi handed over the management of the Eleusis to Aries, and then returned to the Acropolis with Chione and her three maidservants.

Temple of Metis.

Roy led Kayone and the three maids to the statue of Metis in the center of the temple square, looked up at the statue and said.

"Princess Chione, this is Metis, the Goddess of Wisdom who protects the tribes of Athens. Unlike you, who are a false goddess—a human who is deified as the goddess of winter and snow, Goddess Metis is a real god. I I have seen the divine form of the goddess with my own eyes. In the future, the Eleusis people will also be protected by the goddess Metis, so you Eleusis people should also respect the goddess Metis."

Looking up at the ten-meter-high statue of Metis, Kaone said reverently.

"If the power of the Athenian tribe is due to the goddess Metis, of course we must also respect the goddess Metis. The great goddess Metis, please protect us Eleusis as you protect the Athenians, we Eleusis The Sith people can also devoutly worship the goddess Metis and regard you as our patron saint."

The three maids of Kayone also silently prayed to the statue of Metis.

Bringing Kayone and the three maids to the dark stone house, Roy picked up the lantern at the door and said.

"Princess Kayone, now I'm going to borrow a fire from a nearby neighbor's house to light a candle. You guys wait here for me."

After speaking, Roy left directly.

When Roy came back with the lantern, she saw Chione and three maids standing outside the warehouse of the wooden house, with five clay pots for water placed on the ground in front of them.

Seeing Roy, Kaone immediately complained dissatisfied.

"Priest Loi, what's going on in your home? Although there are food and a bronze tripod for cooking, there is no meat or vegetables, and there is not even a drop of water in the clay pot. Without water, we can't even eat oatmeal. I can’t even do it, and I can’t boil water for a bath.”

After being accused by Kayone, Roy explained embarrassingly.

"Princess Chione, in fact, I used to eat at the home of the leader of Pandion. Princess Procne and Princess Philomela will bring me the food prepared by their home. Now I have you who really belong to me. Of course, you can’t continue to rub off on the food of the Pandion leader’s house. Now you take the clay pots, and I will take you to the nearby river to fetch water.”

Athens in the city-state era had a population of 10 at its peak.

If there is only well water and spring water in this area of ​​Athens, it is of course impossible to feed hundreds of thousands of people.

In the Athens area, there is a Kiphissos River that flows westward from Mount Pendelli to the Aegean Sea. It is a river that flows all year round.

Hearing what Roy said, Kaone picked up a clay pot and walked up to Roy and said with a serious face.

"Priest Luoy, as a man, do you only want us women to serve you? Since you also want to drink and use water, you should fetch water with us."

Looking at Kaone who wanted to work by herself, Roy couldn't help but widen his eyes and said.

"Princess Kayone! Don't you have the self-consciousness of being a maid slave? You should serve me and take care of me, but you dare to let me fetch water with you with a clay pot. I can give you light with a lantern, it's already Very good."

"Is this the lantern you invented?"

Kayone lowered her head, curiously looking at the ground illuminated by the lantern, and the candles inside the lantern.

"What is this white thing that is burning with flames? And what is that thin transparent thing that protects this flame from being blown out by the wind?"

"The white thing you mentioned is the candle I invented, and the transparent thing that protects the candle is the paper I invented. The lantern is a night lighting tool I made by combining candles and paper."

"Is this really something you invented? No wonder Philomela said that you should be deified as the god of opportunity and creation. You do have incredible wisdom like a god."

"Now that you know my greatness, do you still want me to do the work myself?"

Keone didn't speak, and directly stuffed the clay pot in Roy's arms.

Roy subconsciously hugged the clay pots with her left hand, and Kaone immediately returned to the three maids, and the four of them picked up the four pots on the ground and said.

"Priest Loi, take us to fetch water now!"

"you--"

Gazing at Kaone with dissatisfied eyes, Roy said while turning around and leading them to get water.

"Princess Kayone, it seems that I want you to have a deep understanding of the master-slave relationship between us."

After Roy brought Kione and three maids back to the temple with river water filled with five clay pots, Kaone and the three maids were busy cooking oatmeal with a bronze tripod, and Roy was Go back to the stone house with a candle.

Half an hour later, Chione, whose fair face was stained by soot, walked into the stone house with a pottery bowl containing half a bowl of oatmeal.

Looking at Kaone's appearance, Roy couldn't help laughing.

"Princess Kayone, are you afraid that I will get angry, and deliberately made fun of me like this? Then I can only say that you have succeeded, and I am not angry now, so hurry up and wash your face."

"It's my first time cooking, and it's cooking for men."

Kayone put the clay pot on the stone table, and then warned Roy with a serious expression.

"Priest Luoy, we used another bronze tripod to boil the bath water. After dinner, we will take a bath in the wooden house next to it. You must not peek at it, let alone break in and attack us."

"Do you have the consciousness of being a slave? As my slave, your body will only belong to me in the future. If I don't attack you, how will you be a mother in the future?"

"I... I am also the princess of the Eleusis tribe after all, I have my own pride and persistence."

Kaone said with a blushing face.

"I'm very satisfied with how you take care of our Eleusis people. I will consider marrying you when the people's lives are stabilized..."

After saying that, Keone fled shyly.

Looking at Kaone's leaving figure, Roy muttered softly.

"You are my slave! Why do I want to get you, but I still want to propose to you and make you my wife?"

After finishing the oatmeal in the pottery bowl, Roy lay on the stone bed, listening to the sound of girls laughing and playing and splashing water on their bodies from the wooden house next to him, a flame ignited in his heart. A beautiful goddess with a human head and a snake body appeared in front of my eyes.

It's a pity that that is Roy's unattainable goddess.

The figure of the goddess disappeared, and the beautiful figures of the gentle and pure Procne and the innocent and lovely Philomela appeared in front of Roy at the same time.

It would be a lie to say that Roy has no heart or thoughts for them.

It's a pity that even if Roy wanted to pursue them, he couldn't pass Pandion's level.

In this era, girls' marriages are completely decided by their fathers. Even if their fathers die, their marriages will be decided by their brothers.

Therefore, the only one who can decide to marry Roy is Kayone whose father and brother are both dead.

"Although I didn't fall in love with Kione, I am also a young man with full blood. In order to satisfy my physical instinct, should I pursue Kione? But Kione doesn't love me, she just treats me as a caregiver." A toolman of the Eleusis..."
