Chapter 315: One Thousand and One Nights Story

late at night.

Roy took Procne and Philomela back to the king's palace.

After lying on his big bed, he saw that although Procne and Philomela crawled to his left and right sides, but deliberately kept a certain distance from him, the expression on Roy's face became even more unhappy.

In the past, Procne and Philomela would have loved to be treated as human pillows.

"Brother Roy..."

Procne asked uneasily.

"Are you angry?"

Philomela wanted to stretch out her left hand to comfort Roy, but before her fingers touched Roy's body, she instinctively retracted her hand.

"I'm not angry!"

Roy said with a bright smile.

"I feel very happy to be able to return home and see my most important sister. I am so happy that I want to tell you stories."

"I want to hear the story from brother Roy."

Philomela immediately smiled.

"What story does brother Roy want to tell? Are you telling us the story of the creation of the world by the goddess Gaia, just like mother?"

Roy shook his head and said.

"I'm going to tell you a story called [One Thousand and One Nights]. It is said that there was a cruel king in the far east. Because his first wife cheated on him, he killed her every day. He wanted to marry an unmarried girl and then kill the bride the next day. After this situation continued for three years, more than a thousand girls were killed by the king. When there were no more marriageable girls in the country, the prime minister could only do it. They dedicated their two daughters to the king. In order to save their lives, the sisters told the king stories every night. The king was finally moved and decided to stop his tyranny and make his sister the new queen. "

"Brother Roy, are the two sisters in the story you told a hint to my sister and me?"

Philomela said in amazement.

"The sister in the story was really smart to be able to impress the king with the story of One Thousand and One Nights."

"My story isn't finished yet!"

Roy said with a smile.

"Philomela, listen to me tell the complete story, maybe you will have new thoughts. After the smart sister told the story of the One Thousand and One Nights to the king, she has given birth to three sons for the king. Because the sister in the story is with the king every night, the sister has been a loyal woman for the king for one thousand and one nights.”

"The sister in the story actually gave birth to three sons for the king——"

Procne couldn't help but widen her eyes and said.

"One Thousand and One Nights is thirty-three months. The sister in the story will give birth to a son for the king on average every eleven months. Is she telling stories to the king every night, or is she serving the king with her sister every night? ?”

"Now you understand!"

Roy said with a smile.

"This story is to tell you that a truly smart woman will not please the king with her clever stories, but will serve the king every night with her sister."

"Brother Roy, since the sister in the story gave birth to three sons for the king, did the sister in the story also give birth to three sons for the king? After all, the two sisters serve the king together every night."

Hearing Philomela's question, Roy shook his head and said.

"I can't answer this question, because in the end the story does not say how many sons the sister gave birth to for the king, nor does it say whether the sister became the king's wife."

"This is a story told by brother Roy. How could you not know the ending of your sister?"

Philomela said with a slightly dissatisfied face.

"And this story seems to be implying that Brother Roy, my sister and I are alluding to Brother Roy, who comes from the far east, is the King of the East in the story, and my sister and I are the sisters in the story. Brother Roy wants to use This story tells us that my sister and I should be as smart as the sisters in the story and take the initiative to serve Brother Roy every night. Brother Roy only said that his sister gave birth to three sons for you in the story, but did not say that my sister was in the story. I have given birth to several sons for you, I feel this is so unfair. "

"Philomela, this is really not a story I made up, let alone implying that you and I are sisters!"

Seeing that Procne and Philomela obviously didn't believe his explanation, Roy said helplessly.

"Since you must have the sister's ending, let me make up one for you! In the ending of [One Thousand and One Nights], not only did the sister give birth to three sons for the king, but the sister also gave birth to two daughters for the king. . The elder sister became the king’s new queen, and the younger sister became the king’s beloved princess.”

"I only gave birth to two daughters for brother Roy in the story!"

Philomela smiled with satisfaction.

"Although I have one less child than my sister, I will not be jealous of my sister."

After Procne and Philomela fell asleep unconsciously, Roy's hands held them in his arms with gentle movements, a gloomy expression on his face.

In the myth of another world, whether it is the priestess Iphigenia who serves Artemis or the priestess Cassandra who serves Athena, they are both girls who never marry.

Even in real history, the priestesses of the Temple of Delphi who served Mnemosyne and the priestesses who served Vesta, the Roman goddess of the hearth, were both girls who never married.

If Procne and Philomela were temple priests, Roy would understand even if they wanted to imitate the goddess and never marry.

But Procne and Philomela were not temple priests, but just like the priest nobles, they served the gods in name only.

The real job of Procne and Philomela was not to serve Metis, but to help Roy rule the Kingdom of Athens as the two queens of Athens.

"Does Metis want to take Procne and Philomela from me and make them temple priests serving Metis?"

The next day.

After having breakfast with the girls, Roy came to the Temple of Metis alone.

Temple Square.

Roy stood in front of the statue of Metis and looked up at the goddess, suppressing his dissatisfaction and calling out.

"Goddess Metis, please explain the matter of Procne and Philomela."

After a moment.

Seeing that Metis did not respond to him, Roy threatened directly.

"Metis! If you don't sacrifice yourself, I will knock down your statue of Metis."

The next moment!

The statue of Metis glowed with divine light interwoven with blue and gold, and then turned into the goddess Metis herself.

After Metis appeared, she looked down at Roy and said.

"I have made Procne and Philomela my priestesses. Don't you understand what I mean? Now you are no longer my priests. If you have anything to say, let Procne and Philomela come to me to communicate."

"You deprived me of my priesthood--"

Roy first widened his eyes in surprise, and then asked dissatisfiedly.

"What's the matter with Procne and Philomela not wanting to contact me? If they voluntarily want to follow your example and remain single for life, I will never trouble you, but their state is obviously abnormal."

"They accept my blessings and divine power, and they are influenced by me, so I can't blame them."

Metis said coldly, and then turned back into the statue of Metis.
