I Was a Priest in the City-State Era

Chapter 167 Coronation Ceremony of the King of Athens

I will wake up laughing when I sleep——

Roy originally thought that this kind of thing would never happen to him.

the next morning.

Roy woke up from his sleep and found that his face had become stiff because he kept smiling, and then he found that his heart was happier than he thought.

After all, he made an agreement with Pandora to make this fallen goddess reincarnated into a human being his fiancée. Roy had a chance to live forever and become a god.

"Honey!"

Hearing Harmonia calling him, Roy turned his head and saw Harmonia lying next to him, looking at him with a bright and sweet smile and saying.

"You can smile so happily even when you sleep, is it because you share the same bed with me?"

Although Roy didn't like lying, in order not to make Harmonia sad, Roy could only hold Harmonia in his arms and said.

"Harmonia, now you understand how much I love you!"

The girls who slept with Roy last night were Chione and Pandora.

Procne and Philomela have parental control and must return to the palace that belongs to them.

After Roy and Harmonia got up, they saw Chione, Pandora and three maids busy making breakfast in the small kitchen of the palace.

After everyone finished breakfast together, Roy looked at Harmonia, Chione, and Pandora with a serious expression and said.

"I plan to become the king of Athens today! You are all my women, so I will not hide my plan from you, and I need your help. Next I will go to Pandion and ask him to gather most of the men in the city of Athens Going to the temple square outside the Temple of Metis, this is nominally a coronation ceremony for Pandion, but in fact it is my coronation ceremony! Chione is coronating me in order to ensure that I can successfully seize power. After the ceremony begins, you will bring all the 850 soldiers at the foot of the Acropolis into the Acropolis. Because today is a very important day, the guard captain Pallas will be in charge of the gate of the Acropolis! If Pallas prevents you from entering the Acropolis, tell him how his wife got here."

After hearing Roy's words, Harmonia couldn't help laughing.

"My dear, are you going to tell Procne and Philomela about your plans?"

Roy shook his head without hesitation and said.

"Although the two sisters have fallen in love with me, I don't think their love for me can surpass their love for their parents."

Then, Roy said to Pandora.

"Pandora, if you stay alone in the palace, don't go out and run around. Although I have the consciousness to break out a war with the city of Knossos, and I have the confidence to defeat the city of Knossos, but the city of Athens and Knossos The later the war breaks out in the city, the stronger the city of Athens will become. "

Pandora said expressionlessly.

"I see."

Seeing Pandora's familiar attitude, Roy immediately remembered that Pandora always used this attitude towards her fiancé Deucalion in the past.

Now that Roy has become Pandora's fiancé, Pandora begins to treat Roy with this attitude again.

It seems that Pandora doesn't really hate Deucalion, she just simply hates her fiancé - or doesn't want to marry a human man.

Roy had no time to care about Pandora's attitude now. After giving instructions to the three girls, Roy hurriedly left his palace.

The largest palace in the Royal Palace of Athens, located behind the palace hall.

Pandion and Zeuxipel lived in this palace belonging to the king and queen.

Roy came to the palace behind the hall and saw Pandion, Zeuxipus, and Philomela all wearing brand new pure white cotton robes, and Procne was even more dressed up as a beautiful bride to be married.

Because Pandion's coronation ceremony is over, Pandion will hold the wedding for Loy and Procne as the king of Athens.

Seeing Roy arriving, Pandion immediately said happily.

"My child! I have sent people to summon the men in the city of Athens and asked them to come to the Temple Square to witness my coronation as the king of Athens. Your mother prepared two crowns for me, one is a golden crown made of bronze , one is a crown made of olive branches, which crown do you think I should use for my crown?”

Roy glanced at the bronze crown and olive branch crown placed on the stone table, then carefully picked up the olive branch crown that would be worn on his head with both hands and said.

"There are no copper mines in the Attica Peninsula. We Athenians not only rely on olive oil to obtain food, but also rely on olive oil to obtain various bronze utensils. A crown made of olive branches is obviously more suitable for the coronation ceremony than a bronze crown."

Pandion nodded with satisfaction and said.

"As expected of my child, your thoughts are the same as mine."

At this moment, Philomela came to Roy, grabbed Roy's robe and said.

"Brother Roy, today is the day when you and your sister are getting married. Why don't you wear a new set of clothes? Fortunately, my sister has made a new set of clothes for you. You should hurry up and change!"

After saying that, Philomela pulled Roy towards a small room in the palace.

Roy could only put down the olive branch crown in a hurry, and then said awkwardly.

"Philomela, I will go change clothes with you. Don't keep holding me back like this. My father-in-law and mother-in-law will misunderstand me."

"Did you misunderstand that I am also your wife?"

Hearing Philomela's straightforward and bold words, Roy immediately looked at Pandion and Zeuxiper with a guilty conscience.

Pandion and Zeuxippe looked at Roy and Philomela with a smile, obviously not taking Philomela's words seriously.

Roy breathed a sigh of relief, and then said silently in his heart.

After today, there is no need to hide his relationship with Philomela.

When Roy, Pandion, Zeuxippe, Procne, and Philomela came to the Temple Square under the protection of hundreds of soldiers, thousands of Athenian men, including Eleusinian men and Serifos men, had gathered in the Temple Square.

These men were over 16 years old and under 60 years old, and could be mobilized to fight in wars, so they were considered citizens.

Women and children were not considered citizens, so they would not be called to participate in the king's coronation ceremony.

In the square at the foot of the Acropolis.

Knowing that the coronation ceremony had begun, Chione and Harmonia led 850 soldiers and began to climb the mountain road leading to the Acropolis.

When the army arrived at the gate of the Acropolis, the captain of the guard Pallas took a group of soldiers to set up a defensive formation and said.

"Stop! You want to bring so many soldiers into the Acropolis, do you want to rebel? You leave now, I can treat this as a misunderstanding."

Chione immediately came to Pallas and said.

"Captain Pallas! The priest of Roy asked me to tell you - don't forget how your wife came."

Pallas certainly would not forget that his wife - the sister of Perseus, the noble Princess Seriphos, was a trophy given to him by Roy.

Hearing what Chione said, Pallas gritted his teeth and said.

"It is because I haven't forgotten that I will give you a chance to leave."

Harmonia came to Chione at this time, unexpectedly swung out a bronze spear, and put the blade of the spear against Pallas' neck and said.

"Chione, why bother talking to him. If he dares to stop us, I will kill him immediately, so that he won't ruin Roy's plan."
