Chapter 171 Reconciliation Between Son-in-Law and Father-in-Law

Palas did not want to be loyal to Roy, which was undoubtedly an act of loyalty to Pandion.

Procne not only did not praise his loyalty, but frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Captain Pallas! Brother Roy will reconcile with his father soon, so don't make trouble at this time. In the future, you will be loyal to Brother Roy to repay our family for raising you."

Philomela followed.

"Sister is right! You don't want to be loyal to Brother Roy, are you looking for an excuse to betray our family's kindness in raising you?"

Hearing what Procne and Philomela said, Pallas smiled helplessly.

He was willing to give up such an important position as the captain of the personal guard, but was regarded as causing trouble and even ungrateful.

As an outsider, he really couldn't participate in the power struggle within the royal family.

After all, Roy and Pandion were a family as son-in-law and father-in-law.

When Roy and Pandion reconcile, those who choose to fight against Roy in order to be loyal to Pandion will become a nobody, and even if they die, it will be in vain.

"Princess Procne! Princess Philomela! Should I regard the King of Athens as the successor of Chief Pandion, continue to be loyal to the King of Athens, and repay your family for raising me?"

"That's only natural!"

Philomela said without hesitation.

"Now that brother Erechtheus is not in Athens, who can you be loyal to if not brother Roy?"

"I understand! In the future, I will dedicate all my loyalty to the great King of Athens, just like I was loyal to Chief Pandion."

Hearing Pallas' words, Roy said with a satisfied smile.

"Captain Pallas! From now on, you are my vassal. I appoint you as the Minister of Transportation. In the future, you will lead the people of Seriphos to build roads so that the roads in Athens can directly lead to every city, town and village in the Kingdom of Athens. As the territory of the Kingdom of Athens continues to expand, your work will continue to increase, so your position can be said to be a long way to go."

"I will obey your orders."

After Pallas left, Roy hugged Procne and Philomela and left the throne and said.

"Procne! Philomela! Let's go to see my father-in-law and mother-in-law now!"

The palace behind the hall.

Roy, Procne and Philomela walked into the room where Pandion and Zeuxipe were. Seeing Roy, the filial son-in-law, Pandion immediately turned his back to Roy.

"Dear father-in-law! Dear mother-in-law! Are you still angry with me?"

Roy walked up to Pandion and said.

"Father-in-law! No matter how angry you are, I will never give up the throne of the King of Athens. For the happiness of Procne and Philomela, please reconcile with me! I believe that father-in-law must not want Procne and Philomela to become unfortunate women abandoned by their husbands."

Are you threatening me——

Pandion stared at Roy with angry eyes, as if there was a blazing fire in his eyes.

Roy smiled and continued.

"I can assure my father-in-law and mother-in-law that my love for Procne and Philomela will not lose to any other girl, and I will definitely let Procne and Philomela's children become the heirs of Athens."

In the far east, daughters and sons-in-law have no inheritance rights.

If the emperor has no son, even if the emperor's distant nephew inherits the throne, it will not be the turn of the daughter and son-in-law.

But in the Western world, daughters and sons-in-law also have inheritance rights.

After the Hittite king Telepinus inherited the throne as a son-in-law, he formulated a succession law that clearly stipulated that when the king had no son, the son-in-law would be the heir to the throne.

In the history of the Egyptian Empire, there were also examples of ministers marrying princesses and becoming pharaohs.

When Pandion heard that Roy said that he wanted to make the child of Procne and Philomela, that is, his grandson, the heir to the city of Athens, the expression on his face wavered.

Zeuxippe also persuaded Pandion.

"Dear! Your leader status was also snatched from the previous leader. It's no pity to be snatched away now, and Roy is still our son-in-law. For the future of the children, you should reconcile with Roy!"

"But I don't trust him!"

Pandion said with a cold face.

"As a son-in-law, he can do such a thing to his father-in-law. If he wants to reconcile with me, then make a sacred oath to guarantee that my grandson will be the heir to the city of Athens."

Hearing Pandion's request for reconciliation, Procne and Philomela immediately looked at Roy with pleading eyes.

"Brother Roy..."

"Hurry up and take the oath as your father asked!"

Looking at the pleading faces of Procne and Philomela, Roy nodded and said to Pandion.

"Father-in-law! I promise you in the name of the goddess Metis that the child of Procne and Philomela will be the heir of Athens."

At this time, Pandion's face finally turned from gloomy to sunny, revealing a smile that could not be hidden.

"Roy! For the sake of Procne and Philomela, I forgive you, the unfilial son-in-law, and admit that you are the king of Athens now. What are your plans for Erechtheus?"

"Father-in-law, I will not regard Erechtheus as a potential threat to the throne."

Roy said with a serious expression.

"If Erechtheus is willing to contribute to the development and growth of Athens, I plan to appoint Erechtheus as the governor of the Lavrio area and let him lead the Lavrio people to dig silver mines."

Seeing that Roy really did not regard Erechtheus as a threat, Pandion smiled and said.

"Erechtheus's ability and ambition are not as good as yours. I will send an envoy to meet Erechtheus and ask him not to fight with you. Next, how do you plan to arrange me? Are you going to imprison me or kill me secretly?"

As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain.

As the former ruler of Athens, Pandion himself is undoubtedly Roy's biggest threat.

Of course, Roy knows that even if he reconciles with Pandion, his threat to him will not disappear.

Because the number of people in Athens who support Pandion will not be less than those who support Roy.

"Father-in-law, I don't want to restrict your freedom, so I hope you can leave Athens temporarily. When I have a solid authority in Athens, I will immediately invite you back to Athens."

"I can leave Athens, but I want to take 300 guards with me."

Pandion looked at Philomela and said.

"I have conquered Lavrio as Procne's dowry, and next I will conquer the Marathon area as Philomela's dowry."

Of the four regions of the Attica Peninsula, only the Marathon area is not controlled by Athens.

After hearing Pandion's request, Roy hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Father-in-law, I will give you 300 guards and 300 bronze spears so that you can successfully conquer the Marathon tribe. After the Marathon area is also controlled by us, the entire Attica Peninsula will be the territory of the Kingdom of Athens, and the population controlled by the Kingdom of Athens will exceed 20,000."
