I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 94 Procne Proposes Marriage
Pandion wanted his daughter to marry the leader of the big tribe or the king of the city-state. Of course, he had the idea of ​​using his daughter for marriage, but he was also a daughter slave who really loved his daughter.

Seeing that his wife Zeuksippo couldn't understand him, Pandion said helplessly.

"You really don't understand! In this day and age, marrying your daughters to a strong husband and keeping them safe all their lives—this is true happiness."

Hearing Pandion's words, Roy couldn't help but said.

"If that husband doesn't love them, maybe marrying a strong husband will make their life worse than death. Chief Pandion! If you marry your daughters to a strong husband who doesn't love them, wait until they are no longer young and beautiful, that strong Will the husband abandon them or even kill them for a younger and more beautiful wife?"

Pandion immediately widened his eyes, with a shaken expression on his face, and finally said with a lack of confidence.

"Then I will marry my daughters to a husband who is both strong and truly loves them."

Then, Pandion changed the subject.

"We'll talk about other things later, let's focus on enjoying the food now!"

After speaking, he picked up a piece of barbecue and tasted it.

Seeing that Philomela kept giving Roy food as a reward, Procne, who was originally shy, mustered up his courage and poured Roy a bowl of wine.

"Brother Roy, thank you for doing me..."

Seeing that Procne was so shy that he couldn't even finish his sentence, Roy said with a gentle smile.

"I said long ago that I treat you and Philomela as my own sisters. Today Perseus dares to humiliate you, and I will definitely make him pay a heavy price in the future."

Although the alcohol content of wine is not high, it can be intoxicating if you drink too much.

It's evening time.

Roy returned to the Temple of Metis with a little drunkenness, and saw Kione cooking dinner with her three maids.

Seeing Roy, Kaone immediately stood up, and said with tears in her eyes.

"You're finally back! Do you know how much my sisters and I worried about you during this time?"

Hearing Kaone's cry, Roy said with a smile as he walked towards the stone house.

"Are you worried that if I don't come back, you as slaves will be assigned to other men? You are all my women, and of course I will not abandon you, so even if it is for you, I will definitely come back. "

After speaking, Roy pushed open the door of the stone house.

Seeing that the floor of the stone house was covered with a white wool blanket, Roy froze for a moment, then took off his shoes and walked into the stone house, lying on the stone bed that was also covered with a wool blanket.

Kaone followed Roy into the stone house, came to the stone bed and smelled the alcohol on Roy's body and said.

"Looks like you've been drinking a lot."

Roy closed his eyes and said.

"Yeah! So I want to sleep now."

Looking at Roy's sleeping face, Kaone was suddenly surprised to find that there was an indescribable change in Roy's body.

The more she stared at Roy's face, the stronger her feelings for Roy became.

"What's wrong with me?"

Kaone couldn't help but take a few steps back and said.

"Although I regard him as my only support now, there is no reason for me to fall in love with him so quickly!"

After saying that, Kaone left the stone house as if fleeing.

"Brother Roy...Brother Roy..."

After an unknown amount of time, Roy, who was sleeping, suddenly heard Procne's gentle call ringing in his ears.

Roy opened his eyes and saw Procne standing beside his bed.

She wore a fitted calico gown, and around her waist was a bronze sash that Roy had given her.

"Am I dreaming?"

Seeing a candle lit on the stone table, Roy couldn't help laughing.

"Procne is always inseparable from Philomela, she can't come to me alone. And it's still night, it's impossible for the reserved Procne to be alone with me in the same room."

Procne held Roy's right hand with her two small hands and said.

"Brother Roy, you are not dreaming now."

Feeling the coolness of Procne's two small hands, Roy immediately sat up, looked at Procne with wide eyes and said.

"Procne, why did you come to me alone at night? If your parents knew about this—"

"I have obtained mother's consent to come to you, and there are male servants and maids protecting me outside."

After listening to Procne's explanation, Roy said with a sigh of relief.

"Procne, you came to see me alone at night, what is the important matter?"

Procne blushed shyly and bowed her head.

"Can you really not see what I'm thinking?"

see your mind?

Roy looked at Procne carefully, and finally his eyes rested on the bronze belt.

After Roy gave the bronze belt to Procne and Philomela, they have never been seen wearing these two bronze belts.

Because in this era, girls accepting belts from men is equivalent to accepting underwear from men.

Now Procne is wearing the bronze belt presented by Roy, which is obviously a hint to Roy that she is willing to accept Roy's pursuit.

"Procne, do you think I'm pursuing you?"

"Don't you want to pursue me?"

Procne said with a smile.

"Today I was humiliated by Perseus. Brother Erechtheus is my own brother. He should stand up and fight for me. Brother Luoy, of course you fight for me because you like me! And When we were together before, I was not unaware of how ambiguous our relationship was. Brother Roy deliberately had an ambiguous relationship with me, isn't it because you like me? "

Procne really noticed it.

Rather, it was abnormal for Procne not to notice Roy's deliberate approach.

Probably only the innocent and innocent Philomela would not notice it.

Seeing that Roy did not deny it, Procne continued.

"Brother Luoy, seeing you fighting for me today, I finally confirmed that I also like Brother Luoy. I will ask my mother for help, and let my mother persuade my father to keep me in the Athens tribe. Are you willing to propose to my father?"

Facing Procne's confession, Roy showed a embarrassed expression on his face.

Although Roy did deliberately approach Procne and Philomela to cultivate their affection for him, it was not because he liked them, but to use them to protect himself.

In fact, Roy knew very well that his own existence itself was a challenge and threat to the leader's family.

So in order to protect himself, Roy even thought about overthrowing Procne and Philomela and letting them conceive her own child.

When Pandion dealt with Roy, Roy could say with a relaxed face——

Father-in-law, you don't want your daughter to be a widow, and your grandson to be born without a father!

It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes. Now that Roy has the strength of a hero [enemies of a hundred people], he no longer needs to use Procne and Philomela to protect himself.

More importantly, Roy was already engaged to Harmonia.

If Roy accepts Procne, should he make Procne endure the humiliation of being a concubine, or let the first fiancée Harmonia endure the humiliation of being a concubine?
