Chapter 90 Perseus’ marriage proposal

Pandion entertains Perseus——

This matter has nothing to do with Roy.

But the purpose of Perseus's visit to the Athenian tribe was to propose marriage to Pandion's daughter, and of course Loy could not turn a blind eye.

So Roy did not return to the Temple of Metis, but came to Pandion's stables.

After leaving his black horse to the care of the stable horse breeder, Roy immediately came to Pandion's stone house.

Stone House Hall.

When Roy walked in, he saw everyone sitting around the stone table.

Pandion and Zeuxiper sat in the main seats at the stone table, while Procne and Philomela, whose faces were hidden by veils, sat next to their parents.

Erechtheus and Perseus sat on the north side of the stone table, and the two minor leaders sat on the south side of the stone table.

Seeing Roy's figure, Philomela immediately said happily.

"Brother Roy! You are finally back. Do you know how worried we are about you?"

Procne also looked at Roy with excited eyes.

Seeing that Pandion's daughter cared so much about Roy, Perseus asked curiously.

"Chief Pandion, I just wanted to ask, is this noble prince also your son?"

Pandion shook his head and said.

"He is Roy, the priest who serves the goddess Metis! Although he is not my son, I intentionally made him my adopted son, so my daughter will regard him as her brother."

After explaining, Pandion said to Roy.

"Roy, since you are here, come celebrate the arrival of Prince Perseus with us."

Roy did not refuse, walked to the stone table and sat down opposite Pandion.

Looking at Roy across a stone table, Procne and Philomela suddenly widened their eyes, as if they were seeing Roy for the first time.

Even the leader's wife, Zhou Xippo, showed a surprised expression and kept staring at Roy's face.

Sensing the abnormality of his wife and daughter, Pandion asked suspiciously.

"What's wrong with you?"

Zeuxipo came back to his senses, frowned and said.

"It's nothing, I just feel that Roy seems...a little different from before."

"Mother! It's not that she's a little different, but she seems to be a different person."

Philomela looked at Roy with obsessed eyes and said.

"I used to think that Brother Roy was very smart and could invent many magical things. But now I discovered that Brother Roy is also a very charming and beautiful boy."

Although Procne did not speak, she obviously had the same idea as Philomela, because she looked at Roy with the same obsession.

Unexpectedly, the effect of Aphrodite's blessing [charm improvement] was so powerful that it could actually make Philomela praise herself as a beautiful boy.

Roy hurriedly covered his face with his right hand and said.

"Philomela, are you teasing me? It's not the first day you see my face, why do you suddenly praise me so kindly?"

Perhaps because Roy covered his face, Philomela regained consciousness.

Seeing Pandion frowning, Philomela immediately said.

"I was just teasing you because you worried my sister and I for several days."

After hearing Philomela's words, Pandion looked away from her, turned to Perseus and said.

"Prince Perseus! Welcome to the Athenian tribe and become my distinguished guest. Before my servants serve the food, can you tell me what is the purpose of visiting the Athenian tribe on behalf of the Mycenaeans?

"

"Great Pandion! I came to the Athenian tribe on behalf of my grandfather, King Acrisios of Mycenae, in order to promote an alliance between the Mycenaeans and the Athenian tribe."

Perseus said with a smile that was neither humble nor haughty.

"Now we Mycenaeans have conquered the entire Argos region in the Peloponnese Peninsula and established three city-states of Tiryns, Tiryns, and Mycenae with a population of tens of thousands. As long as the Athenian tribe

By forming an alliance with us Mycenaeans, we will not only pass on the advanced technology and civilization of the Near East to you and help the Athenian tribe upgrade to a real city-state civilization, but we will also support the Athenian tribe to conquer the entire Attica Peninsula. As an alliance between us

As a symbol, please marry one of your daughters to me."

In this era, it is almost a necessary condition for two forces to form an alliance and conduct a marriage.

If there is no marriage relationship, the two forces cannot establish mutual trust at all.

After listening to Perseus' words, Pandion said with a faint smile.

"Prince Perseus! Although you Mycenaeans are a foreign group who migrated from Crete, you have conquered the locals in the Argos region and become the real masters of the Argos region. You Mycenaeans

The strength of the Scythians is so strong, I really can’t think of any reason why you Mycenaeans should form an alliance with our Athenian tribe.”

"We Mycenaeans want to ally with the Athenian tribes because we will have a war with the cruel King Sisyphus of Corinth. King Sisyphus of Corinth is not satisfied with ruling the beautiful and prosperous city of Corinth, and even collects toll taxes on the Isthmus of Corinth, so we

To overthrow the reign of King Sisyphus of Corinth.”

Thebes and Corinth are two major city-states that can compete with Athens for the title of the strongest city-state.

The city of Corinth has the potential to become the strongest city-state, and the Corinth region where the city of Corinth is located is naturally a wealthy region.

Now the wise and wise Sisyphus rules Corinth, the only city-state in the Corinth region, and regards Amphitrite, the sea goddess worshiped by the Corinthians for thousands of years, as the patron saint of Corinth.

The city of Corinth guarded the Isthmus of Corinth. Even if the city of Corinth really collected tolls, it would not be a reason for the Mycenaeans to launch a war against the city of Corinth.

Because it is actually normal to collect taxes such as toll tax and toll tax.

The real reason why the Mycenaeans launched a war against the city of Corinth was that the Mycenaeans had conquered the Argos region and could now regard the Corinth region as their next target.

Since the Mycenaeans were about to launch a war against the city of Corinth, the Mycenaeans wanted to form an alliance with the Athenian tribes, but they probably did not want to see the Athenian tribes become allies of the city of Corinth.

Because after a war broke out between the Mycenaeans and the city of Corinth, the city of Corinth would definitely seek assistance from the Athenian tribes.

"Prince Perseus! Our Athenian tribe does not want to get involved in the war between the Mycenaeans and the city of Corinth, but I really want to find a husband worthy of her eldest daughter Procne. Although you are only Mycenae

The grandson of King Acrisios, but I can see that you are both ambitious and powerful. In the future, you are likely to become the Mycenaean king who rules the Argos region, so I am willing to take Procne.

Marry you and make my daughter your queen."

"Great Pandion, your daughter Procne will not be my queen."

Perseus shook his head and said.

"I ask to marry your daughter because I want your daughter to be my concubine. Because I already have a candidate for my head wife in my heart. I want Princess Andromeda, the daughter of King Cepheus of the Egyptian Empire, to be my head wife.

.Princess Andromeda is the daughter of the king of the Egyptian Empire, so it’s only natural that Princess Procne’s status is lower than Princess Andromeda!”
