Chapter 126 Atmeta Becomes His Fiancée

Mycenae.

The palace hall.

The last time Luo Yin came here, the person sitting on the throne was his cheap cousin Eurystheus.

This time when Luo Yin came here, the person sitting on the throne was his cheap father Thyestes.

Luo Yin's identity also changed from the prince of Tiryns to the heir to the throne of Mycenae - half the owner of this palace.

This was the first time Luo Yin saw his cheap father Thyestes, and it was also the first time Thyestes saw the grown-up Tantalus after ten years.

Seeing Luo Yin standing in the hall and looking at him with emotionless and indifferent eyes, Thyestes lowered his head with a guilty expression and said.

"Tantalus, seeing you grow up to be a brave young hero, your father is really happy for you. I know you will never forgive me for what I did to your sister Philopia, and I dare not ask for your forgiveness. I just want to spend the rest of my life helping you bear the stigma of usurping the throne, so that you can inherit the stable Mycenae city of kingship."

"I will get what I want with my own hands, and I don't need you to pretend that you are doing all this for me."

Luo Yin sneered and mocked.

"If you really have no ambition, you would not have hooked up with Atreus' wife and destroyed the relationship between your brother and sister-in-law. If the relationship between Atreus and his wife Elopa had not broken down, the innocent Philopia would not have become the biggest victim of this family, a humanoid demon hated by humans and gods, and gave birth to the equally innocent but sinful Aegisthus."

Hearing Luo Yin's words, Thyestes said with a wry smile.

"Child! Whether you believe it or not, I just want to spend the rest of my life being a good father to you and Aegisthus. You are now of marriageable age. Has King Tyndareus of Sparta set a wedding date for you and Princess Clytemnestra?"

Luo Yin shook his head and said.

"Now Clytemnestra is my ex-fiancée, and King Tyndareus of Sparta has cancelled our engagement."

Thyestes obviously knew about this.

Hearing Luo Yin's answer, Thyestes smiled faintly and said.

"At the beginning, I asked for Clytemnestra for you because I thought she had a chance to inherit the throne of Sparta. Now Tyndareus has confirmed that Princess Helen is her heir, and it is a good thing that you and Clytemnestra have cancelled their engagement. I heard that Artemeta has always been with you. She is the orthodox heir to the throne of Mycenae. Let her be your new fiancée!"

Since the time of the founding of the city, Mycenae has been ruled by Perseus and his descendants.

After Aegisthus assassinated Atreus, Thyestes was able to directly replace Atreus and become the new king of Mycenae because Atreus was not a descendant of Perseus, but the son of King Pelops of Inlis.

Even if Atreus seized the throne, he could not get the support of the elders and nobles of Mycenae.

In the original destiny, Agamemnon and Menelaos could kill Thyestes to seize the throne, Aegisthus could kill Agamemnon to seize the throne, and Orestes could kill Aegisthus to seize the throne - all because the descendants of Pelops, as a pseudo-king who usurped the throne, could not get the true loyalty of the elders and nobles of Mycenae.

But if Lo Yin married Artemeta and let the child born by Artemeta be the heir of the next generation, Lo Yin and Thyestes would become the legitimate heirs to the throne of Mycenae.

The elders and nobles of Mycenae could also support Luo Yin and Thyestes without hesitation, because they were not loyal to the fake king who usurped the throne, but to the father and grandfather of the descendants of Perseus born by Artemeta.

Undoubtedly, marrying Artemeta was the best choice to secure the throne of Mycenae.

Looking at Thyestes who raised his head, Luo Yin said with a playful smile.

"Only usurpers with insufficient strength will marry with the orthodox royal family to consolidate their royal power. It seems that you are worried about the revenge of Agamemnon and Menelaos, so you are eager to get the real support of the nobles of Mycenae."

Thyestes nodded and said.

"Now my old body cannot defeat the young Agamemnon. If we cannot get the real support of the nobles of Mycenae and gather tens of thousands of troops to protect our safety, once Agamemnon and Menelaos bring thousands of soldiers to Mycenae, you, me and Aegisthus will be brutally killed by Agamemnon."

"You are the only one who will be killed by Agamemnon."

Luo Yin sneered.

"Don't say that Agamemnon can only muster 2,000 soldiers at most. Even if he can muster 20,000 troops, he can't defeat me. If Agamemnon and Menelaos take revenge on you, I will expel them after you are killed, and then ascend the throne of Mycenae."

Looking at Luo Yin with a confident expression on his face, Thyestes said with wide eyes in shock.

"Tantalus! You expelled them after I was killed - are you going to watch me being killed by Agamemnon and Menelaos?"

"The most innocent Philopia is dead, what reason do you have to live in this world? If you were not Tantalus' biological father, I would have sent you to the underworld myself."

After saying that, Luo Yin turned and left.

"Wait -"

Thyestes stood up from the throne and said.

"Now you are the heir to the throne of Mycenae, and the palace is your home. Where do you want to go?"

Luo Yin stopped and said with his back to Thyestes.

"This palace dedicated to Zeus belongs to you and Zeus, not to me. When this palace truly belongs to me, I will naturally move in."

Looking at Luo Yin's departing figure, Thyestes said with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Tantalus... now you don't want to live in this palace, is it because there is my human-shaped demon father in the palace... or because this palace is dedicated to Zeus?"

The Palace of Atreus.

The largest palace near this palace now belongs to Luo Yin.

When Luo Yin returned to the palace hall, he saw not only Clytemnestra, Helen, In'ole, Artemeta, but also Aegisthus entangled with Clytemnestra.

Seeing Luo Yin coming back, Clytemnestra smiled gently and doted on Aegisthus's little head and said.

"Aegisthus, although you have lost your beloved mother, you still have your father Thyestes and your brother Tantalus by your side. I am Tantalus's fiancée and will be your family in the future. Although I cannot replace sister Philopia, I am willing to take care of you like a sister takes care of a brother. You can come to me if you have anything."

Aegisthus was like a pet dog enjoying the owner's head pat, with a satisfied and happy expression on his face.

When his eyes fell on Luo Yin, his face immediately showed a dissatisfied expression, and there was a hint of hostility towards Luo Yin in his eyes.

It seemed that to Aegisthus, Clytemnestra was more important than his own brother.

Luo Yin had long known that Aegisthus was destined to love dumplings. Seeing that Clytemnestra wanted to show the appearance of a good wife and a good sister-in-law, he reminded her.

"Clytemnestra! Aegisthus is a boy, you should keep a proper distance from him."

"He is your own brother!"

Clytemnestra smiled indifferently.

"You can take care of Helen as your sister as my fiancé, and I can take care of your brother as my own brother as your fiancée."

Hearing Clytemnestra emphasize that they were fiancé and fiancée, Aegisthus said with a faint smile on his face.

"Sister Clytemnestra, your engagement with your brother has been cancelled long ago. After our father knew about this, he decided to make an engagement for your brother and Artemeta as your father and Artemeta's great uncle."

Thyestes was not only Loyin's stepfather, but also Artemeta's great uncle.

He did have the power to make an engagement for Loyin and Artemeta alone.

Clytemnestra's eyes went dark and she almost fainted when she heard the news.

The thing she was most worried about finally happened.
