I Was a Priest in the City-State Era

Chapter 408 This Is My Life

The Royal Palace of Athens.

After nightfall, every room and every road in the palace was illuminated by candles and oil lamps burning olive oil.

In the bathroom of the palace, Aurora took a hot bath under the service of a group of palace maids, changed into a beautiful new dress, and was then taken to the magnificent hall by the palace maids.

At this time, there was an oval dining table in the hall, which was full of delicious food. Roy, Procne and Philomela sat beside the table.

After Aurora came to the hall, she naturally sat down beside the dining table.

Just as Aurora was about to fill her stomach, Roy suddenly asked her.

"Aurora, what do you think now?"

"This is my life."

Aurora said without hesitation.

"A life where I can't even eat a piece of roast meat or drink a bowl of boiled meat soup doesn't belong to me. I should be served by a group of people, wear the best clothes and enjoy the best food."

"This is just a special treatment for your first day in Athens."

Roy said with a smile.

"Since you don't want to marry me, I won't be stupid enough to help you all the time. From tomorrow on, you will support yourself by your own labor! If you can endure hardships, I will find someone to teach you how to weave. You can weave cloth on the loom for eight hours a day, and you can get a salary of 150 kilograms of grain every month. If you can tolerate being taken advantage of by some guests pretending to be unintentional, you can go to work as a waitress with an easier job."

"My dear, I want to marry you now."

Aurora looked up at Roy and said with an unnatural expression on her face.

"I have figured it out now. I was born a princess, so my children should also be princes and princesses from birth. I just want to be served. I don't want to work hard, let alone serve others. I don't want my children to work hard and serve others. My children should be like me, served by others from birth, and enjoy the best treatment in the world. In order to achieve this goal, my husband must be a king."

"You are really an honest woman."

After listening to Aurora's words, Philomela laughed.

"You just want to marry the king. You don't care whether this king is Roy's brother or not."

"Isn't it the same for you?"

Aurora immediately counterattacked.

"If Roy was not the emperor of the Athenian Empire, but just a hard-working commoner, would you marry him?"

"I--"

As soon as Philomela opened her mouth, she found that she was not confident enough.

Because Philomela never thought that she would live like a commoner woman.

"Don't quarrel with you two."

Roy interrupted them and said.

"Aurora, since you have changed your mind, then wait in line to marry me. Before we get married, you will stay in Athens and let Procne and Philomela take care of you. Because Procne and Philomela became my women first, you must respect them like a sister respects a sister."

"I know."

Aurora bowed her head and said tactfully.

"Sister Procne! Sister Philomela! I will get along with you in a friendly way in the future. I hope you don't bully me."

"You are older than me!"

Philomela laughed jokingly.

"Since you are so well-behaved and sensible, I, your younger sister, will certainly not bully you."

After dinner, Roy drew a complete map of the Mediterranean with pen and paper.

After marking the Greek region and Roman province on the map, Roy said to Procne and Philomela.

"Procne! Philomela! Look, this is the Apennine Peninsula that I conquered. It has an area of ​​250,000 square kilometers and a population of over a million. After conquering the Apennine Peninsula, the Kingdom of Athens has become the Athenian Empire with an area of ​​330,000 square kilometers and a population of nearly two million. In the future, the Apennine Peninsula will be the Roman province of the Athenian Empire. In order to strengthen the rule of the Athenian Empire here, I plan to let Io, Callisto, and Hippodamia rule Catanzaro, Rome, and Bari respectively. After Aurora marries me, let Aurora rule Milan in the Po River Plain. In the future, you will not only rule the Attica Peninsula, but also the Peloponnese Peninsula."

"Brother Roy has added more work for us."

Philomela complained with a pouty lip.

"Will the queens of other kings work as hard as me and my sister?"

The Peloponnese Peninsula and the Attica Peninsula have an area of ​​more than 30,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 300,000.

On the surface, it seems that it is indeed a very hard job for Procne and Philomela to manage so many people.

But——

Procne and Philomela are two people.

On average, each of them only manages about 150,000 people.

"Philomela! Although your work is hard, Harmonia, Pandora, Io, Callisto, Hippodamia, and Aurora will work harder than you. Each of them has to manage far more than 150,000 people."

"What I really want to complain about is not work——"

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

"What I really complain about is that Brother Roy did not reward us for our work. After my sister and I finished our wedding with Brother Roy, Brother Roy only stayed with us for ten days, and as a result, my sister and I did not get pregnant."

Procne couldn't help but say.

"Brother Roy, you said that the safe period for us to not get pregnant can be as long as fifteen days. In order for us to get pregnant 100%, can you stay with us for at least one month?"

"No!"

Roy said helplessly.

"Next, I will be busy marrying Harmonia, Chione, and Pandora, so I will leave Athens tomorrow."

"If they get pregnant and give birth to Brother Roy's children first, my sister and I will definitely be shaken."

Philomela said with a worried look.

"After they give birth to the children, maybe Brother Roy will change, making their status higher than my sister and me."

"Philomela, why are you worried about this kind of thing?"

"Brother Roy doesn't have a child yet, so you think my worry is unnecessary. When Brother Roy really has a child, can Brother Roy guarantee that you will not value the child's mother more because of the birth of the child?"

Philomela's questioning directly made Roy speechless.

Procne and Philomela have a special place in Roy's heart, just because they are the first two girls Roy met.

If someone gave birth to Roy's first child, the mother of the child would have a special place in Roy's heart - this was almost inevitable.

Seeing Roy's reaction, Procne hugged Roy's arm and said.

"Brother Roy, let's spend a sleepless night together tonight!"

"Okay!"

The next morning.

When Roy rode out of Athens with two dark circles under his eyes and a weak face, he realized what a stupid decision he had made.

Even though Roy was a powerful demigod hero, he was almost worn to death by Procne and Philomela, who wanted a child so much, in their gentle embrace.
