Chapter 169 The Three Laws of the King of Athens

Loy's first law was passed without any opposition.

Because this law touches no one's interests.

Under Pandion's angry gaze, Roy continued.

"The second law I want to enact is to abolish the status of petty chiefs or nobles in the city of Athens. From now on, in the city of Athens, only the royal family headed by me will have a special status, and the status can be inherited hereditary. In addition to the royal family, Athenians are all equal citizens.”

After Roy finished speaking, several small leaders and their families were all in an uproar.

Just now, the small leaders did not object to Roy taking away his father-in-law's power as his son-in-law because Roy did not touch the interests of the small leaders.

Now that Roy wants to abolish the identity and power of the small leaders, it is certainly impossible for the small leaders to accept it voluntarily.

"Why do you abolish our identity?"

A grumpy little leader spoke first.

"Chief Pandion has said that he will make us nobles and let our status be hereditary. As a son-in-law, you should inherit your father-in-law's will and respect our original status and power."

Another little leader followed.

"Don't forget that you were originally a stranger. Because you are the son-in-law of the leader Pandion, we only accepted you as the king of Athens."

"Can't I become the king of Athens if you don't accept it?"

Roy looked at the little leaders with cold eyes and said.

"I will not only abolish your identity, but also make you hand over the tribal property that you manage as a small leader. If you want to resist me, then you will be a major sinner who betrayed the Kingdom of Athens, and all the men in your family will die, Women will be reduced to lifelong slavery, and your property will be confiscated."

After Roy finished speaking, the little leaders and their families all fell silent.

After all, they are not fools.

Even if they wanted to overthrow Roy immediately, they would not commit suicide at this moment.

Looking away from the little leaders, Roy looked at the thousands of civilians and said.

"Fellow Athenians! The third law I want to enact is that guilt must be punished. In the past, you commoners were oppressed by big chiefs, small chiefs or their relatives, and you could only endure it. But from now on, the King of Athens will protect you Everyone, punish all the criminals who break the law. Not to mention the small leaders and their families whose special status I abolished, even the royal families and even the kings of other city-states will be punished by me. In the name of Goddess Si, I promise you that you are all subjects of my rule, and only the royal family headed by me can oppress you without any punishment."

After hearing the third law formulated by Roy, thousands of civilians all opened their eyes in disbelief, because this was a law that was closely related to their interests.

Even in the civilized era 3,600 years later, the strong oppressing the weak are still common and difficult to punish.

In this era, civilians are like grass and suffer all kinds of oppression.

If Roy can keep his word and ensure that only the royal family can oppress the civilians without any punishment in the city of Athens, the civilians will usher in a beautiful era that they can't even dream of.

For example, without the law of Lowe, there would be at least a hundred people who could oppress civilians with impunity.

With Lowe's law, there will be only one person who can bully civilians with impunity.

This is the huge change brought about by Lowe's law.

Roy did not imitate the saying "the emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty" and shouted that the royal family is guilty of the same crime as the common people.

Because only a fool would believe such a thing.

If Roy fools the civilians as fools, the civilians will not believe Roy's will to enforce the third law.

"Fellow Athenians! In order to implement my third law, I will establish a court. Anyone who is oppressed or otherwise harmed can ask the court to punish the criminal who broke the law. Before the court is established, you can come directly to the palace, Let me, the King of Athens, deliver justice to you. Remember, neither I nor the court will ask for money from you. The action of delivering justice to you is completely free, and I will let the sinner pay compensation to the victim. property."

After hearing what Roy said, someone in the crowd finally couldn't help but say.

"Great goddess Metis, am I dreaming?"

"Not only did he stipulate that only the royal family can oppress us, he also punished those who oppressed us."

“Can we really usher in a better era that we can only dream of?”

After a commotion, someone in the crowd shouted loudly in tears.

"Long live King Loia of Athens!"

Then others followed and shouted.

"Long live King Loia of Athens!"

"Long live King Loia of Athens!"

Listening to the roar of the mountains and the tsunami, Roy couldn't help shouting.

"You are all my people, so I will not allow anyone to harm you except myself with impunity."

After the crowd calmed down, Roy continued.

"Now that you know that I am the king of Athens who rules over you, this coronation ceremony can be over. After you go back, you can still live as before. If you are hurt, the door of my palace will be open for you at any time."

After Roy finished speaking, thousands of civilians immediately rushed to the gate of the Acropolis like a tide, eager to leave the Acropolis.

After thousands of civilians left the temple square, Roy looked at Aries and ordered.

"Aries! Take a hundred soldiers to the homes of several small leaders and confiscate their property, and transfer all the tribal property that does not belong to them to my warehouse."

After Aries took a hundred soldiers to execute the order, Roy ordered Chione again.

"Chione, take 250 Eleusin soldiers to protect the palace and drive all the men out of the palace. From now on, there can only be one man in my palace without my permission."

Without waiting for Chione to leave, Roy ordered Harmonia again.

"Harmonia, take 500 Theban soldiers to guard here and the guards at the gate of the Acropolis."

After saying these orders, Roy walked down the altar, came to Pandion and said with a smile.

"Father-in-law, now that the coronation ceremony is over, let's go back to the palace together as a family!"

"Brother Roy..."

Hearing Roy's words, Procne's beautiful big eyes burst into sad tears.

Because after the coronation ceremony, Pandion was supposed to hold a wedding for Roy and Procne.

Philomela said directly with dissatisfaction.

"Brother Roy, you should marry my sister next."

Looking at Procne's sad face and Philomela's dissatisfied expression, Roy said guiltily.

"My father-in-law is definitely not in the mood to hold a wedding for us now. Let's wait for a better day and let my father-in-law hold a wedding for the three of us together! Philomela, now I don't need to hide our relationship. Don't you want to marry me with Procne?"

Philomela hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

"I want to marry Brother Roy with my sister."
