Chapter 405: Turning the Princess Into Cinderella

At the end of September.

Roy took Aurora on the transport fleet of the Athenian Empire and returned to Athens from Catanzaro.

Piraeus Port.

The transport fleet entered the port in a mighty manner. Aurora, standing on the deck of the flagship, was immediately shocked by the prosperous scene of thousands of large and small ships crowded in the port dock.

As a princess of a nomadic people, Aurora had never seen hundreds of ships gathered together, let alone the spectacular scene of thousands of ships gathered together.

After Roy and Aurora landed at the dock, they walked on the crowded streets. Aurora said in surprise.

"Is this the capital of the Athenian Empire, Athens?"

"This is not Athens."

Roy explained with a smile.

"This is just the port of Piraeus in Athens. The real Athens is four kilometers away from the port."

Walking on the street connecting Athens and Piraeus Port, Aurora exclaimed again.

"The road under our feet is so flat, no wonder there are so many horse-drawn carts and ox-drawn carts to transport goods and people. You Athenians are so amazing that you can make such a magical road out of stone."

Aurora actually mistook the cement road for a stone road——

Roy explained again.

"Aurora, the road under our feet is not stone, it is a material called cement made by me."

"Did you make this?"

Aurora looked at Roy with suspicion, obviously not believing what Roy said.

Walking to the gate of Athens, looking at the tall walls of Athens, Aurora was shocked again.

"You Athenians are so amazing that you can build such a tall and solid wall. Even if you say that this is a wall built by gods, I will believe it."

"If I tell you that this is the wall of Athens designed and built by me, would you rather believe that it was built by gods than by me?"

"Did you make this too?"

The thing that shocked me was made by Roy again.

Aurora couldn't help but complain.

"I have never seen such wisdom in humans. Are you not a human, but a god disguised as a human?"

Roy explained awkwardly.

"Although I made these things, they were not invented by me, so they are not the crystallization of my wisdom."

Acropolis of Athens.

Roy took Aurora back to the palace. Aurora was like Liu Lao Lao entering the Grand View Garden, observing the surroundings with curious eyes.

After learning the news of Roy's return, Procne and Philomela ran out of the hall with Andromeda to greet Roy.

Seeing Aurora beside Roy, Procne and Philomela's happy smiles froze on their faces.

Obviously, the surprise that Roy brought back to them made them really unable to laugh.

"Brother Roy——"

Philomela ran over and threw herself into Roy's arms and said coquettishly.

"Who is the woman you brought back?"

Seeing Procne also forced a smile, Roy said guiltily.

"She is Aurora, the princess of the Etruscans in the northern part of the Apennine Peninsula. She is the sister I brought back for you."

"Since she is our sister, she is also Brother Roy's wife--"

Procne suppressed her unhappiness and came to Aurora and said in a friendly manner.

"Princess Aurora, welcome to Athens. Let's get along like sisters in the future!"

Philomela rolled her eyes and said with a look of despair.

"Brother Roy, I only have one sister. Can you please not give me so many sisters?"

Roy could only explain helplessly.

"Philomela! If Aurora marries me, I can legally rule more than 200,000 Etruscans and more than 40,000 square kilometers of the Po River Plain. If I don't marry Aurora, thousands of Athenian soldiers and Etruscans will pay their precious lives."

"This woman is worth more than 200,000 people and more than 40,000 square kilometers of territory--"

Knowing Aurora's worth, Philomela could no longer say anything against it.

Because the combined worth of her and Procne is far less than Aurora.

Although Roy attached great importance to Procne and Philomela and made them the two queens of Athens, the capital of the Athenian Empire, Procne and Philomela also understood that the benefits Roy would get from marrying them were far less than the women who would be with Roy later.

So facing the women who could bring Roy huge benefits, Procne and Philomela were somewhat lacking in confidence.

"Are you not only his wife, but also a pair of sisters?"

Aurora looked at Procne and Philomela and said.

"You can rest assured that I have no intention of competing with you for the favor of this man, because I was forced to marry by this man. I had to marry your husband in order to protect my family and all the Etruscans."

"Brother Roy——"

Hearing Aurora's words, Philomela immediately said like a spoiled child.

"Since Aurora despises Brother Roy so much, Brother Roy, you shouldn't marry her. Even if more soldiers die, it's no big deal."

For Philomela, if more soldiers died, Roy would have fewer women around him, and the sacrifice of those soldiers would be worth it.

"You girl--"

Roy glared at Philomela with dissatisfaction, and then looked at Aurora with dissatisfaction.

"Princess Aurora, I have no intention of forcing you to marry me. If you really don't want to marry me, then I will give you your freedom!"

"Are you serious?"

Aurora said with her eyes widened in surprise.

"Can you promise that if I don't marry you, you will be kind to my family and to the Etruscans?"

"I can guarantee it!"

Roy nodded and said.

"I can promise that I will not harm your family or other Etruscans. But you - because you don't want to marry me, I will classify you as an enemy of the Athenian Empire. In my territory, anyone Anyone who offers you free help will become an enemy of the Athenian Empire."

Aurora said with a smile.

"I don't want to marry you. You should treat me as an enemy. Now that I want to leave, you won't stop me, right?"

"Won't!"

Upon hearing Roy's answer, Aurora immediately turned and left.

After Aurora left happily, Procne asked hesitantly.

"Brother Roy, do you really want to let her go?"

"I just want her to realize reality."

Roy said with a smile.

"If you want Cinderella to become a princess, no Cinderella will object. But if the princess becomes Cinderella, I also want to see if the princess is willing."

Seeing that Procne and Philomela seemed to understand, Roy ordered Andromeda.

"Andromeda, prepare a carriage for the king to travel. Procne! Philomela! I want to take you to a good show. Do you want to go?"

Philomela nodded immediately and said.

"I don't want to be separated from Brother Roy for a moment now. Brother Roy will take me with him wherever he goes."

Procne said hesitantly.

"Although I still have a lot of things to deal with, I also want to be with brother Roy."
