I Was a Priest in the City-State Era

Chapter 407 Love Belongs to the Princess and the Prince

In another world, whether it is a fairy tale from three thousand years ago or a fairy tale from two hundred years ago, it is the love of the princess and the prince that is sung.

Although there is a love story between Cinderella and a prince in fairy tales, there is no love story in which a princess marries a commoner and becomes a commoner woman.

In the story of a princess marrying a commoner, in the end the commoner uses force or talent to inherit the throne - in other words, the love between the princess and the commoner is actually the love between the princess and the king.

Myths and fairy tales do not make up stories about a princess falling in love with a commoner, marrying a commoner, and becoming a commoner woman. This is because anyone with a right mind knows that turning a princess into a commoner woman will definitely make her life worse than death. , there won’t be any happiness to sing about.

Andromeda, who was demoted to a maid by Roy, is a living example.

After Andromeda became a maid serving others, although her work was not hard and the quality of her food and clothing did not decline, she never truly smiled.

Because for Andromeda, serving others as a maid is not her destiny and life at all.

"The most suitable profession for me is princess——"

Hearing Roy's words, Aurora thought carefully and finally said frankly.

"You are right! From my birth to now, my identity has always been a princess. I have never done anything to serve others, and I have never thought of serving others."

"But you are no longer a princess, for I have conquered the Etruscans."

Roy said with a joking smile.

"Aurora! After I conquered the Etruscans, I still let you enjoy the treatment of a princess because you will become my wife. Now that you have become an enemy of the Athenian Empire, I will naturally not give you another princess. "You must survive as a civilian woman in my territory. You should seriously think about how you will survive in this world as a civilian woman and what your future will be like."

"I want to leave here and return to my hometown, the Po Plain."

Aurora said with a stubborn look.

"Although I can't weave or cook, when I return to my hometown, I can do the work of herding horses and sheep."

After saying that, Aurora turned and walked towards a cargo ship at the dock.

Arriving in front of the cargo ship captain, Aurora took out her necklace and said.

"Captain, I will give you this necklace as a reward. Are you willing to send me back to the northern part of the Apennine Peninsula?"

The captain glanced at Aurora's necklace, then looked at Aurora with the look of a fool and said.

"Beautiful girl, your necklace is not worth risking our lives with the sailors to send you to waters we have never been to. If you really want to go to the Apennines, then you should take the Athenian Empire and send you to the Apennines Peninsula’s naval fleet.”

Of course there is no problem in exchanging Aurora's necklace for a few meals.

Aurora wants to hire a ship to take her back to her hometown, but the value of the necklace is definitely not enough.

Aurora, who was rejected by the captain, couldn't help but show a look of despair on her face.

"I can't even return to my hometown...how should I survive next?"

Looking at the large and small ships parked at the port pier, Aurora suddenly gritted her teeth, walked to a high platform and said loudly.

"Is any of you willing to help me return to my hometown? I am Aurora, the Etruscan princess in the northern Apennine Peninsula. I was brought here by Roy, the emperor of Athens. Now I am defined by Roy Enemies of the Athenian Empire, and anyone who provides me with free help will also become an enemy of the Athenian Empire. As long as someone is willing to help me return to my hometown, I will do my best to give you adequate compensation, and I will not ask you to provide it. Free help.”

After Aurora finished speaking, an Athenian soldier walked to the high platform and stood next to Aurora and said.

"I prove that what this princess said is true, but her hometown has been conquered by His Majesty the Emperor, and the wealth of the Etruscan royal family has been confiscated. Even if you send this princess back to her hometown, she will also take No reward will be given to you. So from the moment you help this princess, you will become the enemy of the Athenian Empire and no longer enjoy any protection in the territory and waters of the Athenian Empire.”

No longer enjoy any protection——

In other words, as long as someone agrees to help Aurora, others can legally rob him or even kill him.

Faced with such a risk, anyone in their right mind would avoid Aurora.

Just when Aurora thought that no one would be willing to accept her employment, a slave merchant walked up to Aurora with a smile and said.

"Beautiful Princess Aurora, I am willing to send you back to your hometown, but you must give me the reward first."

Aurora said with a frown.

"But I can't give you a reward that's worth enough!"

"No - you can take it out."

The slave merchant laughed jokingly.

"I am a slave trader. According to my many years of experience in the industry, based on your status and beauty as a subjugated princess, your worth is enough as a reward. As long as you are willing to become my commodity slave, I will send you back to your hometown."

"You said you made me a slave-"

Aurora said angrily with a red face.

"Go away! How dare you say such things to me? You will disappear from my presence immediately."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

After the slave merchant left with a smile, a fisherman walked up to Aurora and said.

"I have a small boat, and I will do whatever it takes to get you back to your homeland."

"boat……"

Aurora nodded and said.

"It doesn't matter if it's a small boat, as long as I can get back to my hometown, it doesn't matter if I spend a little more time. I'll give you my necklace as a reward, and when I get back to my hometown, I'll give you other things as a reward."

The fisherman shook his head and said.

"I don't want these rewards, I just want you to marry me. You are a noble and beautiful princess, I am willing to be your husband even if I die. After we become husband and wife, it is my responsibility as a husband to help you, and I will not become an enemy of the Athenian Empire because of helping you."

"You let me marry you--"

The request made by the fisherman made Aurora so angry that her body trembled constantly.

Because Aurora had never thought about marrying a commoner and giving birth to a commoner's child.

"Get out! Get out now! I am an Etruscan princess. Even if my husband is not a king, he should be the leader of a large tribe that rules tens of thousands of people. How can I marry a commoner."

After the fisherman left amid the laughter of the crowd, Aurora turned and ran down from the high platform, ran to a small forest in the distance and cried aggrievedly.

Hualala--

While Aurora was crying, it began to rain heavily.

Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Aurora was still hiding in the woods crying. Roy left the carriage with a piece of cotton cloth, walked into the grove and covered Aurora with it.

"Are you a fool? If you stay here all the time, your clothes will be wet by the rain. If you get sick, who can take care of you?"

Aurora raised her head and glared at Roy.

"Didn't you say that anyone who provides me with free help will become an enemy of the Athenian Empire? I won't pay you!"

Roy stretched out his hands with a smile, picked up Aurora in a princess hug and said.

"My laws are used to restrain others, not to restrain myself."

After that, Roy got off the carriage holding Aurora.
