Chapter 352 The Marriage Plan Will Not Change

After the envoy of King Oenomanos of Elis was taken away, Procne asked with some worry.

"Brother Roy, are you really not going to interfere in the war between the Mycenaeans and King Elis?"

Roy smiled and nodded.

"The Athenian tribe developed into the current Kingdom of Athens in half a year, and the territory area and population increased hundreds of times. In order to truly absorb these newly increased territories and population, and implement the policies of the Kingdom of Athens to every piece of land in the Kingdom of Athens, I will not start any more wars this year."

Philomela joked.

"Brother Roy, although Hippodamia is a barbarian princess, we have all heard of her beauty. Are you really not attracted to her?"

Roy shook his head without hesitation and said.

"If I were just the king of Athens, in order to become the ruler of the Elis region, I would definitely intervene in the war between the Mycenaeans and the Elis king and make Hippodamia my woman. Now I am The ruler of the 60,000 square kilometers of the Kingdom of Athens, Hippodamia is just the princess of Olympia. In my opinion, she has no qualifications to be my wife. "

Then, Roy spoke to Procne and Philomela.

"Procne! Philomela! My plan to marry you will never change. Now you send invitations to all the nobles in the Kingdom of Athens and ask them to attend our wedding on time."

In the western Nile Delta, the Thessaly region, and the city of Corinth, which were conquered by Roy with force, the ruling class such as the nobility has been eliminated.

However, in Crete and Central Greece, the ruling class like the nobility still existed, because these areas entered the territory of the Kingdom of Athens in a peaceful way, and Roy had no sufficient reason to eliminate the nobility here.

Now Roy just used the wedding to gather these nobles, and then asked them to voluntarily give up their noble status and become commoners.

Hearing Roy asking him to invite guests to the wedding, Procne said with a blushing face and rapid breathing.

"Brother Roy, if we invite guests to Athens, you really have no room to postpone the wedding."

"Silly girl!"

Roy leaned close to Procne's neck, smelling the fragrance on her body and said.

"I am also a normal man. Do you know how much I want to eat you? I can't wait to complete the wedding with you and let you fulfill your responsibilities as a wife."

"Brother Roy..."

Seeing that Procne's entire face had turned red due to shyness, Roy turned around and shouted.

"Herald! Now go tell everyone in the city of Athens that on the first day of July, Princess Procne and Princess Philomela will become their real queens and queens. Three days later, Procne and Philomela and I Romela wanted to tour the city of Athens so that all the Athenians could see the faces of the newlyweds.”

The four heralds immediately carried out Roy's order and told everyone in Athens that the King of Athens was about to get married.

Three days flew by.

On this day of patrolling the city of Athens, Loy, Procne, and Philomela were all dressed up under the service of the palace maids.

Roy wore an olive branch crown made of gold on his head, a gold belt around his waist, and even gold-strap sandals on his feet.

Procne and Philomela wore gold hair ornaments, gold belts around their slender waists, and flat sandals made of gold on their feet.

Wearing short skirts three centimeters above the knee and black wool knee-high socks, they are as beautiful and noble as real goddesses.

The three of them came to the palace courtyard. An open carriage pulled by two white horses and two black horses was waiting for its owner to ride.

"Procne! Philomela! Let's go meet our people together!"

After the three of them boarded the carriage, Procne leaned against Roy nervously and asked.

"Brother Roy, if we wear short skirts and knee-high socks, will we be regarded as women imitating savages?"

"Don't think so wildly."

Roy said while hugging Procne and Philomela's slim waists.

"Not only will your clothing not be ridiculed, but it will also become the target of imitation by all the girls in the city of Athens."

Philomela ordered the man leading the horse.

"lets go!"

The man leading the horse immediately pulled the reins and let the carriage leave the palace.

The carriage drove out of the Acropolis and onto the streets of the city of Athens. Civilians who wanted to see the king and queen of Athens immediately swarmed towards the carriage.

Because Athenian soldiers protected the carriage, the fanatical civilians could not crowd around the carriage.

Roy, Procne, and Philomela on the carriage showed friendly smiles and kept waving to the surrounding civilians.

The civilians responded with loud cheers.

"Long live the King of Athens!"

"Long live Princess Procne!"

"Long live Princess Philomela!"

Under the sunlight, the golden crowns, gold belts, and gold sandals on the three Roys all shone, making the three Roys look like gods shrouded in divine light.

Many people regarded the three Loys as the incarnations of gods, and they knelt on the ground and prayed devoutly for protection.

The current city of Athens is only a city with a population of about 30,000.

After the carriage completed its tour of the city of Athens, Roy sent the carriage to the Port of Piraeus so that the people in the Port of Piraeus could also witness the three of them.

Port of Piraeus.

When the patrolling carriage arrived, everyone at the port stopped trading and looked at the three Roys on the carriage with curiosity.

When the carriage passed by the trading market, a Phoenician businessman suddenly stopped the carriage and said.

"Great King of Athens, I have brought you extremely precious commodities. I believe you and the queen will like them."

With that, the Phoenician merchant walked over to his merchandise.

There were two wooden cages. The first cage contained a female lion and three cubs, and the second cage contained a female cheetah and four cheetah cubs.

These two creatures have become extinct in the continent of Europa, and Procne and Philomela have naturally never been seen.

Seeing these two new creatures, Procne and Philomela immediately widened their eyes curiously.

The Phoenician merchant saw their reaction and said with a happy smile.

"Great King of Athens, I would like to sell you these beautiful and precious creatures for the price of twenty thousand catties of salt."

Twenty thousand kilograms of salt——

Even if the city of Athens is a salt producer, 20,000 kilograms of salt can be equivalent to one million kilograms of grain, so this is undoubtedly a price that a lion would ask for.

Even 3,600 years later, when the number of lions is reduced, the price of a lion will not exceed 100,000 kilograms of grain, and the price of a cheetah will be the same.

The number of lions and cheetahs is not endangered now, and their price will never exceed 10,000 kilograms of grain.

"Cunning businessman, don't you know that the Kingdom of Athens has a territory in Egypt? Although there are no lions and cheetahs in Europe, I know that these two beasts can be found everywhere in Africa, so I will not accept your price. After all, it is twenty thousand One kilogram of grain sold to other areas is equivalent to two million kilograms of grain. If I give you one thousand kilograms of salt, are you willing to sell all these beasts to me?"

One thousand pounds of salt——

If one pound of salt is exchanged for one hundred pounds of grain and sold to other areas, one hundred thousand pounds of grain can be exchanged.

Although it failed to sell for a sky-high price, the Phoenician merchants could accept the price.
