Chapter 462 Two Queens of the Two Rivers
2100 BC, the Fifth Dynasty of Uruk was established.
This was the last time that the city of Uruk established hegemony, and it was also the last time that the Venus goddess Inanna became the queen of the gods in the Mesopotamia.
In the history of another world, let alone five hundred years from now, even if it takes another thousand years, the city of Uruk will not rise again.
The era of Uruk is over, and the era of Inanna is over.
But now, Loy once again gave Inanna the chance to become the Queen of the Gods.
Even if she had to abandon her family allies - the moon god Nanna and the sun god Utu, Inanna did not give up this opportunity.
After all, allies are not as important as their own interests.
What Roy didn't expect was that in exchange for twelve city-states, a population of about half a million, the proud goddess Inanna agreed to marry him.
What Inanna didn't expect was that Roy agreed to her request without hesitation.
"It seems that I should ask for the patron saint seats of sixteen - or twenty city-states."
Seeing Inanna's regretful look, Roy couldn't help but laugh.
"Dear Inanna, I am not a stingy husband. Making you the patron saint of twelve city-states now is just a gift from the proposal. When you actually marry me, I will give you more territory and More people."
Inanna asked, her eyes widening in shock.
"Are you lying to me? Are you really going to give me more territory and more people than I have now?"
"I really want to marry you, so there's no need for me to lie to you!"
"you--"
Although Roy caused Inanna to lose important allies like her family, the moon god Nanna and the sun god Utu, Inanna had to admit that Roy was too generous.
If Roy's promise can be fulfilled, Inanna feels like she can wake up from her dreams with a smile.
It’s the end of December in a blink of an eye.
After taking the city of Del without any blood, Gilgamesh is leading his army back to the city of Uruk.
Semiramis, who originally stayed in Babylon, and Andromeda, who came to the Mesopotamia under the escort of five thousand soldiers, also came to Uruk under Roy's order.
The city of Uruk.
Palace hall.
Seeing Semiramis and Andromeda walking in together, Roy stood up from the throne and walked down the steps to the two.
"Semiramis! Andromeda! Welcome to the city of Uruk, you already know each other!"
Hearing Roy's words, Semiramis and Andromeda looked at each other.
The Hyksos are a branch of the Amorites.
Dating back five hundred years, Semiramis and Andromeda likely have the same ancestors, so there is no doubt that they are distantly related sisters.
It's a pity that this relationship of distant relatives separated by hundreds of years is obviously not as important as the relationship of love rivals.
So when Semiramis and Andromeda looked at each other, they could see obvious hostility in their eyes.
After looking at Andromeda, Semiramis showed a gentle and sweet smile and said to Roy.
"We briefly learned about each other's identities and did not communicate in depth."
Andromeda asked Roy directly.
"What is your purpose in letting me come here?"
Roy said straight to the point.
"Although I have included the Mesopotamia into the territory of the Athenian Empire, this is only the border of the Athenian Empire after all. I cannot stay here for a long time, so I want you two to rule the Mesopotamia instead of me. I will let you come together In front of me, I want to divide the ruling area between you two. "
Hearing Roy's words, Semiramis and Andromeda couldn't help but their eyes lit up.
Semiramis said impatiently.
"My dear, I am the princess of the Amorites, and I can rule over the Babylonian region where the Amorites live."
Roy shook his head and said.
"Semiramis, I plan to let you stay in Uruk and rule the Sumerians."
"You let me, an Amorite princess, rule over the Sumerians—"
Semiramis' smile suddenly froze on her face.
Because the Amorites and the Sumerians had a blood feud that lasted for thousands of years.
Roy didn't care about Semiramis's reaction and said to Andromeda.
"Andromeda, I plan to let you stay in Babylon and rule the Amorites. You two will use Nippur as the dividing line. The eastern cities including Nippur will be ruled by Semiramis. Nippur The city to the west was ruled by Andromeda."
Let the Amorite princess Semiramis rule over the Sumerians who hate the Amorites, and let the Hyksos princess Andromeda, a distant relative of the Amorites, rule over the Amorites——
Roy deliberately arranged this to cut off the possibility of them not being controlled by the Athenian Empire.
Semiramis wanted to segregate the Sumerian region, and he would definitely not get the support of the Sumerians.
Andromeda wanted to separate the Babylonian region, but she would not get the support of the Amorites.
Semiramis and Andromeda obviously understood Roy's intentions.
Andromeda said calmly.
"I accept your arrangement."
Although Semiramis was unwilling to accept it, she could only choose to accept it.
Looking at the two people's reactions, Roy said with satisfaction.
"Semiramis! Goddess Inanna is the patron saint of Uruk. You will stay in Uruk to rule the Sumerian region, and you will serve as the highest priestess serving Goddess Inanna. Andromeda! Goddess Aphrodite will become the new patron saint of Babylon. You will rule the Babylon region, southern Syria and Phoenicia in Babylon, and you will serve as the highest priestess serving Goddess Aphrodite."
After listening to Roy's arrangement, Semiramis said with a wry smile.
"Sister Andromeda rules several times more territory than me. It seems that my position in your heart is far inferior to that of Sister Andromeda."
"This is a matter of course!"
Andromeda said calmly.
"Do you think our future husband will be a man who will fall in love with you at first sight because of your beauty? Our position in his heart depends mainly on how long we have known him. You have only known him for a few days, and you want to have the same position as me in his heart?"
After Semiramis was speechless, Andromeda said to Roy.
"My dear, I will not make stupid mistakes again and betray your trust in me. As a reward for me, can you - let me be your woman now? After we separate, I don't know when we will meet again. I want to have your child as soon as possible."
Roy frowned and said.
"But I am not ready to marry you yet."
"Because of the mistakes I made in the past, I don't think I am qualified to marry you. I am willing to be your concubine and give birth to children for you as a concubine."
Andromeda threw herself into Roy's arms and begged.
"Just meet my request!"
Semiramis widened her eyes in surprise, not understanding why Andromeda would be so self-degrading.
As a princess of the Hyksos, she actually took the initiative to become Roy's concubine.
Roy hesitated for a moment, stretched out his arms and hugged Andromeda and said.
"Then I will satisfy you!"
