Chapter 171 The Son-in-Law and Father-in-Law Reconciliation
Pallas's unwillingness to be loyal to Roy is undoubtedly an act of loyalty to Pandion.

Not only did Procne not praise his loyalty, but he frowned dissatisfiedly and said.

"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, which is to repay our family's kindness in raising you."

Philomela continued.

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

Hearing the words of Procne and Philomela, Pallas smiled helplessly.

I was willing to give up such an important position as the captain of the personal guard, but it was regarded as adding to the chaos, and even as ungrateful.

As an outsider, he really cannot participate in the power struggle within the royal family.

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

When Roy and Pandion reconcile, those who choose to fight against Roy out of loyalty to Pandion will become inhuman, even if they die, they will die in vain.

"Princess Procne! Princess Philomela! Should I regard the King of Athens as the heir to the leader of Pandion, continue to serve the King of Athens, and repay your family's kindness in raising me?"

"It's only natural!"

Philomela said without hesitation.

"Brother Erechtheus is not in Athens now, if you don't pledge your allegiance to brother Roy, who can you be loyal to?"

"I understand! From now on, I will dedicate my allegiance to the great King of Athens just like I do to the leader of Pandion."

Hearing what Pallas said, Roy said with a satisfied smile.

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

"Follow your orders."

After Pallas left, Roy left the throne with Procne and Philomela in his arms and said.

"Procne! Philomela! Now let's go to my father and mother-in-law!"

The palace behind the hall.

Roy, Procne, and Philomela walked into the room where Pandion and Zeuxipper were. Seeing Roy, a 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 can't 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 let Pu Locner and Philomela became unfortunate women abandoned by their husbands."

you're threatening me-

Pandion glared at Roy with angry eyes, as if a raging flame was burning in his eyes.

Roy continued with a smile.

"I can assure my father-in-law and mother-in-law that my love for Procne and Philomela will not be lost to any girl, and I will definitely make the children of Procne and Philomela the heirs of the city of Athens .”

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

If the emperor had no son, even if the emperor's distant relatives and nephews succeeded to the throne, it would not be the daughter and son-in-law's turn to succeed.

But in the Western world, daughters and sons-in-law also have the right to inherit.

After the Hittite Empire's king Tielepin inherited the throne as his son-in-law, he formulated the succession law, which clearly stipulated that when the king had no sons, the son-in-law was the heir to the throne.

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

Hearing that Roy said that he wanted Procne and Philomela's child—that is, his grandson to be the heir of the city of Athens, Pandion's expression was shaken.

Zeuxiper also persuaded Pandion.

"Darling! Your leader status was also stolen from the previous leader. It is no pity to be taken away now, and Luo Yi is still our son-in-law. For the future of the children, you should reconcile with Luo Yi!"

"But I can't trust him!"

Pandion said with a cold face.

"As a son-in-law, he can do this kind of thing to his father-in-law. If he wants to reconcile with me, he must 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 make an oath as your father asked you to!"

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

"Father-in-law! In the name of the goddess Metis, I assure you that the children of Procne and Philomela will be the heirs of the city of Athens."

At this moment, Pandion's complexion finally changed from cloudy to sunny, revealing an unconcealable smile.

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

"Father-in-law, I do 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 of the city of Athens, I plan to appoint Erechtheus as the governor of the Lavrio region and let him lead the Lavrio people to mine silver mines."

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

"Erechtheus is inferior to you in ability and ambition. I will send an emissary to see Erechtheus and tell him not to fight with you. Next, how do you plan to arrange me? Is to imprison me Wake up, or kill me secretly?"

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.

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

Of course Roy knew that even if he reconciled with Pandion, his threat to him would not disappear.

Because the city of Athens has no fewer people who support Pandion than those who support Roy.

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

"I can leave the city of Athens, but I have to take three hundred guards with me."

Pandion looked at Philomela and said.

"I've laid down Lavrio as Procne's dowry, and next I'm going to lay down the Marathon region as Philomela's dowry."

Among the four regions of the Attica Peninsula, only the Marathon region is not controlled by the city of Athens.

Hearing Pandion's request, Roy hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said.

"Father-in-law, I will give you three hundred guard soldiers and three hundred bronze war spears so that you can successfully conquer the Marathon tribe. After the Marathon area is also under our control, the entire Attica Peninsula will be the territory of the Kingdom of Athens , the population controlled by the Kingdom of Athens will exceed [-].”
