I Was a Priest in the City-State Era

Chapter 137 Taking Care of Your Friend's Fiancee

Looking at Roy urging her, Pandora said with a teasing smile.

"I never said that if you tell me a story, I will immediately tell you the secret you want to know. It's okay to wait until a year or ten years later before I tell you the secret."

"Princess Pandora!"

Roy quickly walked up to Pandora, grabbed Pandora's left wrist with his right hand and said.

"I am not Deucalion who is always obedient to you. You must tell me the secret as agreed."

Thumping, fluttering—

Perhaps Roy's actions frightened the owl. The owl that was originally standing on Pandora's left wrist flapped its wings and flew away.

"let me go!"

Looking at Roy who grabbed her left wrist, Pandora said with an unhappy expression.

"Don't you think there's anyone around to keep an eye on us? If Deucalion knew what you did to me, you'd be in big trouble."

Roy didn't know if Deucalion sent someone to monitor and protect him and Procne, but Roy knew that Deucalion would definitely send someone to monitor and protect Pandora to prevent Pandora from having a relationship with other men before getting married. Cuckold him.

Thinking of Deucalion's reaction, Roy let go of Pandora's left wrist, then took two steps back and said.

"Princess Pandora, are you really not going to fulfill your promise?"

"Haven't you ever thought that maybe I am not the reincarnation of the moon goddess's soul, but just a deified human princess - just like your fiancée Procne was deified into the dew goddess. So it's not that I don't want to tell you, But I can’t tell you.”

After saying that, before Roy could recover from the shock, Pandora walked around Roy and returned to her room.

Roy stood there blankly, full of doubts in his heart.

Pandora——

Is she the incarnation of the moon goddess, or a deified human princess?

the next day.

After Roy and Procne had breakfast in Deucalion's palace, Roy planned to take Procne with him to do some business outside the palace.

As the two walked towards the palace gate, Procne asked curiously.

"Brother Roy, what are we going to do when we leave the palace?"

"I'm going to discuss business with the big grain merchant in Knossos! We came to Knossos not only to participate in the Spring Plowing Ceremony, but also to bring grain back to Athens."

Roy led Procne out of the palace, suddenly turned around and said to Pandora who was following behind.

"Princess Pandora, why have you been following us?

After hearing Roy's words, Procne realized that Pandora had been following behind.

When Roy discovered the stalking behavior, Pandora walked up to Roy and Procne with an expressionless face, held Procne's arm intimately and said.

"I'm not following you, I'm following Procne."

Then, Pandora smiled and said to Procne.

"Dear Procne, I am too bored to be alone in the palace. Can I be with you?"

Procne nodded immediately and said.

"Prince Deucalion has to entertain all kinds of guests and is busy with the Spring Plowing Festival. He definitely won't have time to accompany you. If Princess Pandora is willing to treat me as a friend, of course I am willing to be with you. I believe brother Roy I won’t mind, because brother Roy is a friend of Prince Deucalion, and he will definitely be willing to help take care of his friend’s fiancée.”

Helping take care of a friend’s fiancé——

Although it seems okay on the surface, this sentence is not pleasing to the eyes no matter how you read it.

If a friend wanted to help Roy take care of his fiancée, Roy would definitely stab his friend in both sides.

Thinking that this was not a time when he and Pandora were alone, Roy said expressionlessly.

"Princess Pandora, if you don't mind the trouble, just come with us!"

After saying that, Roy walked in front, taking Procne and Pandora towards the port of Knossos.

Eteo, a large grain merchant in the city of Knossos, lived in a luxurious stone house near the port.

Roy brought Procne and Pandora to Eteo's stone house. The soldiers guarding the gate saw that Roy looked like a noble prince and brought two noble and beautiful princesses who were like goddesses. They did not dare to stop Roy. The three of them, Yi and others, allowed the three of Roy and others to enter the stone house.

Roy led Procne and Pandora through the corridor and entered the hall with ease. He saw Eteo sitting on a stone chair, talking to a fat middle-aged businessman. There were two other people beside them. Young and beautiful maids attended them.

Seeing the three Roys who suddenly burst into the hall, Eteo stood up and exclaimed.

"Princess Pandora——"

The middle-aged businessman also stood up and looked at the three Roys who looked like princes and princesses with awe.

Hearing Eteo call out her name, Pandora frowned and said.

"Have you seen me? I don't know you, and I'm not the one who came to find you."

"Lord Eteo, don't you recognize me anymore?"

Roy took the initiative to say to Eteo.

"I am Roy, the priest of the Athenian tribe. I am here to trade grain with you today."

"My noble prince, please wait a moment."

Although Eteo could not remember Roy, whom he had met once, he knew that the future queen of Knossos was with Roy, which was enough to prove Roy's identity.

After bowing his head respectfully to Roy, Eteo turned to the middle-aged businessman and said.

"I'm so sorry, let's discuss our business tomorrow!"

The middle-aged businessman left without any dissatisfaction.

After the middle-aged businessman left, Eteo drove out the four maids again, and then asked Roy and the other two.

"Noble prince! Two beautiful princesses! You came to see me, Eteo, what do you want me to do?"

Looking at the respectful Eteo in front of him, and thinking of Eteo's arrogant attitude when they first met, Roy couldn't help laughing.

"Eteo, I have 10,000 kilograms of olive oil to sell to you. I will first exchange this 10,000 kilograms of olive oil for 40,000 kilograms of grain, and the rest will all be exchanged for bronze spears."

After listening to Roy's words, Eteo, who had been lowering his head, raised his head and said.

"The price of an unused bronze spear is 1,000 kilograms of grain. 10,000 kilograms of olive oil is equivalent to 50,000 kilograms of grain, which means that I need to give you 40,000 kilograms of grain and ten bronze spears."

"10,000 kilograms of grain can only be exchanged for ten bronze spears-"

Prokne couldn't help but screamed.

"The bronze spears are too expensive."

Roy said with a smile.

"Procne! This price is normal. We will bring back more than ten bronze spears."

After saying that, Roy walked to Eteo, took out a small cloth bag, and showed the white salt inside.

"Eteo, this is another product of mine, try it."

Eteo tentatively stretched out his right hand to grab a little salt and put it in his mouth to taste it.

The next moment!

Eteo said with wide eyes.

"Is this the salty white stone? Great goddess Europa, white stone can be so beautiful and delicious."

Roy corrected immediately.

"This thing is not a stone, its real name is salt. Eteo! How many kilograms of grain do you think a kilogram of salt should be worth?"
