Chapter 41 A time full of danger in the wilderness

Procne and Philomela came to the Temple Square with six maids, and saw Roy and fifty teenagers wielding bronze war spears and conducting combat training.

Seeing Procne and Philomela, Roy stopped training, put the bronze spear on his shoulder and walked over and said.

"Princess Procne! Princess Philomela! You really have to have a group of maids by your side all the time."

Procne explained with a smile.

"Priest Roy! If we don't bring a maid to show our identity, someone might do something to offend us."

Procne and Philomela not only have a beauty and figure close to that of a goddess, but also have a noble and elegant temperament.

If they don't know the identity of their leader and noble daughter, there will indeed be men who will be confused by them and do crazy things that offend them.

"Priest Roy!"

Philomela looked at the fifty teenagers in training and said.

"You just finished your long sea voyage yesterday, why don't you let them rest for a few days? By training them like this, aren't you afraid that they will complain about you?"

"I train them for their own good, so that they have a greater chance of coming back alive from the battlefield."

Seeing Procne's curious expression, Roy explained to Procne and Philomela.

"Princess Procne! Princess Philomela! In three days, the leader of Pandion will launch a war against the Eleusis tribe. I will take these companions who follow me to participate in this war. From Eleusis

The tribe obtains the loot as our wealth. The Eleusis tribe is a large tribe with a population of three thousand, and their tribe warriors are definitely stronger than ordinary pirates, so I must step up training of my companions."

"The tribe of Eleusis..."

Procne said with a worried expression.

"The Eleusis tribe is not a weak tribe. It would be too risky to go to war with the Eleusis tribe."

"Sister! Our great father is the hero of the Athenian tribe [Hundred Enemies]. Brother Erechtheus also has the potential to grow into a hero [Hundred Enemies], so victory will definitely belong to the Athenian tribe. We don't need to worry about this at all.

war."

Philomela finished speaking confidently, looked at Roy and said.

"Priest Roy, are you a captain [ten enemies] or a hero [hundred enemies]?"

"Well……"

Thinking of his brief fight with the pirate leader, Roy said with a guilty conscience.

"I should have the strength of the captain [Ten Enemies]."

"You have the strength of the captain [Ten Enemies], so your chances of surviving the battlefield are still very high."

After hearing Philomela's words, Roy said with a smile.

"Because I know that I am not strong enough, I will conduct combat training with my companions. In order for them and I to survive the battlefield, I will take them away from the Acropolis and around the Acropolis Hill

Carry out long-distance running training to enhance physical fitness. In my opinion, only soldiers who are faster than others and have longer endurance than others can survive to the end on the battlefield."

After a pause, Roy said to Procne and Philomela.

"Princess Procne! Princess Philomela! Do you want to follow me out of the Acropolis and go outside to watch our long-distance running training?"

Procne and Philomela immediately shook their heads and said.

"Priest Roy! Unless we are with our father and brother Erechtheus, we will never leave the Acropolis."

"It's very dangerous outside. If we are attacked by a man outside, our life's happiness will be ruined."

Roy certainly knows how dangerous the world outside tribes and city-states is in this era.

Not to mention ordinary women, even the noble daughter of a leader or the princess of a city-state may be attacked in the wild.

Legend has it that Oretia, the daughter of King Erechtheus of Athens, was kidnapped by an unknown man when she was out in the wild with her maid.

In order to prevent Oretia's incident from becoming a shame to the royal family, the Athenian royal family fabricated the myth that Oretia was taken away by the gods and claimed that Oretia had become the wife of the gods.

Legend has it that Antiope, the daughter of King Nicetheus of Thebes, was also attacked in the wild and gave birth to twin sons to an unknown man.

Niketheus saw Antiope as a shame and committed suicide in shame. Antiope who survived was abused by her uncle and aunt.

As for getting married——

Which leader of a large tribe or king of a city-state would let Antiope, who had a child before marriage, become their head wife?

So Antiope never married.

Later, Antiope's two sons seized the throne of Thebes, and her story was beautified in mythology.

In mythology, a god attacked Antiope in the wild and caused her to give birth to the future king of Thebes.

The mother of the legendary King Theseus of Athens was also a lifelong unmarried princess.

Because she was attacked by the drunken King Aegeus of Athens and gave birth to a son before she was married.

Of course, among the leaders of large tribes or kings of city-states who had no shortage of women, no one would be willing to humble themselves and marry a princess who gave birth to a child out of wedlock.

Of course, a princess who has given birth to a child can also become the king's wife.

A wife who betrays her husband can also be forgiven by her husband.

For example, the legendary Mycenaean king Agamemnon married a second-married princess who had given birth to children.

However, Agamemnon would marry a second-married princess because he killed that princess’s husband. If he had not asked to marry that princess, the princess’s two brothers would have killed Agamemnon to save the princess’s husband and children.

revenge.

The legendary King Menelaus of Sparta forgave his wife Helen who had betrayed her husband.

Because Helen was the queen of Sparta, and Menelaus was just the son-in-law.

If Menelaus did not forgive Helen, Menelaus would lose his throne as King of Sparta.

Therefore, during the Trojan War, Menelaus always claimed that it was the Trojan prince Paris who abducted Helen, and never admitted that it was Helen who abandoned him.

Because Menelaus admitted that his marriage to Helen was over, he was not qualified to occupy the throne of the King of Sparta.

In short, a princess who loses her virginity before marriage cannot marry a king with equal status, but she can still marry a husband whose status is inferior to hers.

"Princess Procne! Princess Philomela! Although it is indeed dangerous outside, my companions and I will protect you and prevent you from any harm."

After hearing Roy's words, Philomela said with a puffy face.

"Priest Roy! We are just worried about being hurt by you! If you attack us and directly turn us into your women, even if our father despises you, he can only hold his nose for the sake of our reputation and happiness.

Make you our husband."

"Uh--am I a man who would attack you in your eyes?"

Seeing that not only Philomela but also Procne did not deny it, Roy put on an exaggerated expression and said.

"I'm so sad! Since you can't trust me, I will take the initiative to keep my distance from you."

After saying that, Roy turned around and left, came to the front of fifty teenagers and said.

"Dear companions, now follow me outside for long-distance running training."
