Chapter 540 Cassandra and Hesione

Temple of Hesione.

This temple dedicated to the goddess Hesione is located next to the palace. It can even be said that it is part of the palace guarded by the palace soldiers.

Because the Temple of Hesione is where the important member of the royal family, the Trojan princess who serves as a priestess, lives.

Roy walked into the temple illuminated by twelve oil lamps and found that the whole temple was quiet, as if everyone in the temple had gone to sleep and rested.

Roy walked to the depths of the temple and looked up at the statue of Hesione on the throne. He found that the statue of the goddess Hesione was very similar to the statues of Metis and Amphitrite, just like they were three sisters born from the same mother.

Just as Roy was carefully looking at the statue of Hesione, twelve female warriors holding spears and shields suddenly rushed in from the two back doors of the temple and surrounded Roy.

"Who are you?"

After twelve female warriors surrounded Roy, a beautiful girl wearing a white priest robe and long black hair casually walked up to Roy with elegant steps and said.

"Dare to break into the temple at night? You have committed the capital crime of blaspheming the goddess priest."

"Are you the Trojan princess Cassandra?"

Roy looked at the girl's delicate and beautiful face and couldn't help but marvel in his heart.

If it is only about beauty and figure, Cassandra is not better than Procne, Philomela and other girls.

But as a princess of the Trojan royal family and a priestess serving the goddess Hesione, Cassandra has a holy and noble temperament like a goddess.

In the myth of another world, the Greek coalition saw the beauty of Helen and once sighed like this-for such a peerless beauty, it was worth it for the 100,000 Greek coalition troops to go to Troy and endure ten years of suffering.

Seeing Cassandra's beauty at this time, Roy couldn't help but sigh in his heart-most of the 100,000 Greek coalition soldiers died for her, and it was worth sacrificing their lives.

She was so holy, noble and beautiful like a goddess, no wonder Ajax the Younger desecrated the temple of the goddess Athena for her.

No wonder Agamemnon, the commander-in-chief of the Greek coalition, forcibly took Cassandra from Ajax the Younger.

You must know that as the commander-in-chief of the Greek coalition, Agamemnon's forcible seizure of other people's spoils would cause a huge blow to the commander-in-chief's prestige.

Agamemnon dared to take away Achilles' spoils, Brysaeus, because Achilles forced Agamemnon to return the daughter of Chryses, the priest of Apollo, to her father Chryses. Agamemnon took Brysaeus in the name of revenge against Achilles.

Agamemnon had no reason to take Cassandra from Ajax the Younger.

In other words, Cassandra's beauty and charm can make the commander-in-chief of the 100,000 Greek coalition forces willing to give up his prestige and even lose his position as commander-in-chief.

"Your beauty is indeed worth 100,000 people dying for you. Now this beauty belongs to me, because I will be your husband."

Hearing Roy's blasphemous words, Cassandra frowned and said with an unhappy expression.

"Say such nonsense in front of me - do you really want to die? I am a priestess serving the goddess, and marriage is not for me."

In the mythology of another world, Cassandra is indeed a priestess who never marries.

She not only rejected the pursuit of the god Apollo, but also rejected the proposal of the human hero Otrimenus.

Until Cassandra died, she was still unmarried.

It is very common for priestesses serving gods to never marry.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Roy, the emperor of Athens."

Roy said with a smile.

"Dear Princess Cassandra, I have reached an agreement with your father Iros to make you my wife. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to verify it with your father Iros."

"No need to verify it with my father, I believe you."

Cassandra said with a helpless smile.

"I have said for a long time that I will serve the goddess forever, but my father did not take my words seriously. Respected Emperor! I heard that you respect us women very much and do not allow women to be forced to marry husbands they are not satisfied with. Now I hope you can respect my wishes and let me fulfill my vow of not marrying for life. I am not my father's only daughter, you can also marry my sisters."

Roy shook his head and said.

"Princess Cassandra! It is because the object of my marriage is you that I am willing to become your father's son-in-law. If you don't want to marry me, the girl in Troy who is qualified to marry me-"

At this point, Roy looked at the statue of Hesione behind Cassandra.

"Only the goddess Hesione you serve."

"You-"

Roy blasphemed himself, after all, he was just a human being.

Roy even dared to blaspheme the goddess he served——

Seeing Cassandra's wide-eyed and shocked reaction, Roy walked up to Cassandra, stretched out his right hand, pinched her cute chin and smiled.

"Cassandra, if you don't want to see Hesione being blasphemed by me, then sacrifice yourself!"

"Don't even think about it!"

Cassandra gritted her teeth with a firm face, and then ordered the twelve female warriors.

"Go."

Hearing Cassandra's order, the twelve female warriors immediately attacked Roy at the same time.

Boom boom boom boom——

Before the twelve female warriors pierced Roy's body with bronze spears, Roy's body burst into dazzling divine light, causing the twelve female warriors to close their eyes instinctively.

When the eyes of the twelve female warriors were able to adapt to the dazzling light of Roy, a pair of flaming wings condensed from the fire of the sun appeared behind Roy, emitting a high temperature that humans could not approach.

"God——"

Looking at the flaming wings behind Roy, Cassandra said in disbelief.

"Are you a great god?"

"Yes!"

Roy nodded and said.

"You have also heard about my resurrection from the dead! I have indeed been resurrected as a hero god, and I have also seized the godhood of the sun god Aleg. Dear Cassandra, now that you know you are going to marry a great god, will you still insist on your vow of not marrying for life?"

"I am a priest serving the goddess Hesione. Whether you are a human or a god, I will not betray the goddess Hesione."

"Then there is no other way! It seems that I can only attack Hesione, and then let you serve me willingly as Hesione's dowry maid."

Roy looked at the statue of Hesione with a smile and said.

"Dear Hesione, are you willing to marry me?"

"No!"

With Hesione's answer, the statue of Hesione on the throne turned into the goddess Hesione herself.

She looked down at Roy with cold eyes and said.

"Even my priestess Cassandra has to follow my example and remain single for life. How can I betray Cassandra and give up my identity as a maiden goddess?"

First, he was rejected by Cassandra, and then by Hesione.

Roy sighed and said.

"I did make laws for the Athenian Empire, and it is not allowed to force girls to marry. But ah - these laws are used to restrain others, not to restrain me. Now, as the emperor of Athens, I order you to marry me, and the 100,000 people around Troy will be buried with you for refusing this order."
