I Was a Priest in the City-State Era

Chapter 274 Roy Already Has a Fiancée

Mycenaeans and Hyksos—these branches of the Aryans. Since the Aryan era, their rulers have called themselves descendants of Zeus and used Zeus's divine power to strengthen their rule.

In other words, if Roy asked the rulers of the Hyksos to betray Zeus, he would be asking them to betray their own ancestors.

With this irreconcilable contradiction, the war between Roy and the Mycenaeans and Hyksos was inevitable.

Andromeda looked at Roy with a complicated expression and said.

"A woman will belong to her husband after she gets married, so even if you have a war with the Hyksos, I will always stay by your side."

After hearing Andromeda's answer, Roy immediately said with satisfaction.

"Andromeda, I will lead three thousand Egyptian soldiers to the City of the Sun tomorrow. Before I leave, I will leave five hundred Athenian soldiers to protect you. I hope that you can manage it on my behalf during my absence. Sais City and Buto City. If there is a rebellion in our territory, you must immediately let the Athenian soldiers lead the Egyptian soldiers to destroy the rebellion."

Andromeda nodded, and then couldn't help but say.

"Loy, you don't seem to trust the Egyptian soldiers, only the Athenian soldiers."

"I am an alien ruler after all."

Roy explained helplessly.

"Before my rule is stable, even if my policies bring huge benefits to the Egyptians, I don't think they will sincerely support me and have the consciousness to fight for me. When my rule lasts for one or two years, I will would trust the loyalty of the Egyptian soldiers.”

the next day.

In accordance with his promise to Andromeda, Roy left the city of Sais with three thousand Egyptian soldiers and headed for the City of the Sun.

The real name of the City of the Sun is Heliopolis. It was the most important city in ancient Egypt after Memphis and Thebes in southern Egypt. It was also the first of the thirteen city-states in northern Egypt. About Heliopolis Records of the city often appear in the Pyramid Texts.

Sun City is the center of worship of the sun god Atum. The creation myth of the nine gods with Atum as the core was born here, so Sun City is also known as the hometown of the gods.

After Loy left the city of Sais, Ramses II and Perseus came to the city of Sais, and Andromeda met them in the palace hall.

Palace hall.

Andromeda, who was sitting on the throne, saw Ramses II and Perseus walking into the hall and asked impatiently.

"You came just in time. I heard that Camos captured the city of Memphis and that we Hyksos were defeated again. I want to know if my father was injured in this war."

Ramesses II bowed and said to Andromeda.

"Princess Andromeda, Your Majesty Cepheus did not participate in the war in Memphis. Your uncle Phineus is the governor of Memphis. Although he lost to Camos, he has returned to Afghanistan safe and sound. Wallis City.”

Phineus——

Upon hearing the name, Andromeda showed an unhappy expression.

Because Phineus is not only Andromeda's uncle, but also Andromeda's suitor.

Phineus has always claimed that the Egyptian pharaoh family has a tradition of intermarriage within the family, so the Hyksos should follow the local customs.

And Phineus didn't just talk, he had proposed to his brother Cephes over and over again, asking Cepus to marry Andromeda to him.

"Thank you for bringing the news that my father is safe. What is the purpose of your coming to Sais City?"

Ramses II said with a solemn expression.

"Right now, the southern Egyptian Pharaoh Kamos is leading his army to the City of the Sun. We came to the city of Sais because we want to join forces with the Kingdom of Athens to fight against Kamos. The Hyksos and the Athenians are both foreign rulers, not only The Hyksos are the targets of the southern Egyptians’ expulsion, and the Athenians are also the targets of the southern Egyptians’ expulsion, so there is no reason for the Kingdom of Athens not to cooperate with us.”

After hearing Ramses II's answer, Andromeda said with a smile.

"If your purpose is to cooperate with the Kingdom of Athens, then your trip is in vain. Roy has brought three thousand Egyptian soldiers to the City of the Sun for me to help us deal with Camos. I believe that as long as my father and Roy If Iraq cooperates, we will definitely be able to defeat Camos.”

Unexpectedly, Roy had already surrendered under Andromeda's white dress. Ramses II first showed a surprised expression, then came back to his senses and said.

"Since His Majesty Roy has become our ally, we will return to Avaris City immediately and tell His Majesty Cepus the good news."

After Ramesses II finished speaking, he was ready to leave with Perseus.

Perseus looked at Andromeda and said.

"Princess Andromeda, please leave with us."

Andromeda said with an unhappy expression.

"Prince Perseus, how can you make such a rude request to me? I have been with Roy for so long, and everyone thinks that I am already Roy's woman. Roy also brought Sais City and Buto The city was handed over to me, how could I betray his trust and leave here."

Perseus said with a sigh.

"Princess Andromeda, although I don't know what Roy told you, you shouldn't think that the King of Athens has no other woman before you."

"Of course I know that Roy must have another woman, but that doesn't affect me being with him."

"What if Roy already has a wife?"

"You're lying! Roy told me a long time ago that he is an unmarried man."

"Although it is true that he is not married, he already has a fiancée - the girl who will marry him in the future."

"Fiancée..."

Andromeda widened her eyes in astonishment and said in disbelief.

"Since he already has a fiancée, why didn't he tell me? Has he regretted his engagement with his fiancée, so he doesn't think it's necessary to tell me?"

Perseus shook his head and said.

"Roy's fiancée is a princess of the Athenian tribe. She knew Roy earlier than you, so her relationship with Roy will only be better than yours. If Roy loves the new and hates the old, and abandons his fiancée for you, do you still think he is a man worthy of your love? If you don't think Roy will abandon his fiancée, then do you know what being with Roy means? It means that you can only become Roy's concubine, the princess of the Kingdom of Egypt has to bow down to a tribal princess, and the child you give birth to will not have the right of inheritance."

Kacha--

Perseus' words ruthlessly shattered Andromeda's inner defense.

Maybe I could tolerate being inferior to others, but even my own children were inferior to others - this was absolutely unbearable.

Seeing Andromeda's painful reaction, Perseus continued.

"Princess Andromeda, please leave with us. Even if everyone thinks you are already Roy's woman, I believe you are an unmarried girl. My love for you will not decrease in the slightest. You don't have to worry about not being able to get married."

"No!"

Andromeda shook her head without hesitation.

"If I leave with you, will Roy still help us Hyksos to deal with Kamose? For my father and the Hyksos, I can never leave Roy."
