Chapter 566: Redeem the merits

In the palace hall, the king's office, Perseus sat on a chair, his fingers beating on the table, muttering: "Why is it so slow? Is the mansion so far away?"

Not long after, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Solandel opened the door and walked in. She was wearing a pure white dress, the skirt kept swinging as she walked, like swaying winter snow, and her long platinum hair was carefully braided.

It is tied with a red bow, as delicate as a doll.

"Oh~ look who is here, my little angel!" Perseus was so tired and mentally exhausted during this period, but when he saw his daughter, his face suddenly glowed and he seemed much younger.

Solandel jumped up and sat down on the sofa, holding up her little face and asking with a smile: "Father, are you looking for me?"

"Yes, let's talk to you." Perseus moved his office chair and took the initiative to sit next to Solandel, with a rather emotional expression on his face, "I really didn't expect those things in Danyu City.

The ministers up and down, including me, were all very worried, but in the end the problem was solved by you!"

Solandel quickly added: "It's not just me, but also Kino and Lorna. This is something we all solved together. If I was the only one, I definitely couldn't do it."

"I know that they also have great contributions, but that doesn't stop me from praising you." Perseus touched Solandel's little head, his tone full of pride and affection, "What great things did I do in my previous life?"

I am so proud to have a daughter like you."

"Tell me, what reward do you want? Anything, as long as it exists in this world, I will definitely get it for you."

At this time, Solandel shrank her head for some reason, seemed a little depressed, and her voice lowered: "Father, sharing your worries is what I should do. If you really want to reward me, I just ask

one thing"

Perseus: "Say."

Solandel pursed her lips and said cautiously: "Can you release Brother Bolton? Don't keep him in prison anymore."

Perseus was still beaming just now, but when he heard what Solandel said, his face suddenly darkened, and he said impatiently: "You deserve credit for your meritorious service, and his fault belongs to him for his mistakes. These are two different things! You

Why should you use your credit to make up for his mistakes?"

When Solandel heard that her father was not happy, she seemed a little anxious: "Brother Bolton is certainly wrong, but it was not intentional. Moreover, father, you just said that you will give me anything you want. I just want brother Bolton."

come out."

Perseus frowned and kept waving his hands: "How about another one? With such a good opportunity, you don't take the opportunity to ask for some precious things from your father, but instead use them to atone for others' sins? It's stupid of you to do this."

Solandel lowered her eyes and said disappointedly: "If my father doesn't agree, then I won't want anything."

"You?" Perseus stood up and paced back and forth, staring at Solandel, and said angrily, "I said, who did you learn this stubborn temper from?"

Solandel secretly said: "I am the daughter of my father. Of course I learned from my father."

After hearing this, Perseus was startled and laughed out loud. He sat down helplessly, rolled his eyes at her, and deliberately said with a straight face: "You have reached this point, what can I do? Help.

I'll bring a pen and paper, and I'll write the exemption letter now, are you satisfied?"

"Thank you, Father!!!" Solandel was surprised and happy. She was afraid that Perseus would regret it, so she hurriedly put the quill and parchment on the table into Perseus's hand, and jumped up and said, "Quickly

Write quickly~"

Seeing his daughter's childish look, Perseus couldn't help but smile, took the pen and paper and started writing

In the palace dungeon, Bolton was imprisoned in a narrow cell. Rats could be seen running by from time to time. The dark and humid air made his beard covered with lice.

During the period when Bolton was imprisoned, Perseus strictly prohibited any ministers from visiting him. Fortunately, the jailer here used to be Bolton's old subordinate. He couldn't bear to see him alone, so he often came to talk to him, and would secretly deliver meals to him.

Add more bread so he won't go hungry.

It was now lunch time, and Bolton was sitting on a simple straw bed, eating bread sullenly. He looked like a beggar in his ragged clothes and had no trace of the high-spirited look he once had.

"Creak" The iron door of the upper passage opened, and the jailer's humble voice could be vaguely heard, as if he was saying the word "Your Majesty."

"Ta, ta, ta" the steady footsteps approached slowly and finally stopped outside the cell door.

Bolton was obviously angry. He didn't even look at the other party. He even moved his buttocks so that his back was facing the outside and gnawed the bread without saying a word.

"You feel comfortable in jail, right?" Perseus' cold voice came from outside the cell door.

Bolton chewed the bread loudly on purpose: "It's quite comfortable. I eat and sleep and eat when I wake up. It's not so leisurely outside."

"Click." The sound of a key unlocking came, and the cell door was opened.

Burton didn't get up, he was still sitting there eating bread, and said nonchalantly: "Why open the door? I won't go out, I will live here from now on."

Faced with such angry words, Perseus smiled coldly: "It's up to you. If you want to waste my sister's kindness, then stay here for a long time."

Before Bolton could react, Solandel's soft call came from behind: "Brother"

"Solan?" Bolton quickly turned around, stood up, and muttered, "The dungeon is dirty and messy, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to pick you up from prison." Solandel advised softly, "Brother, the matter in Danyu City has been resolved, so don't be angry with your father."

"Solved?" Bolton was stunned again.

"Yes, that's what happened." Solandel told Bolton all the ins and outs of the Danyu City incident.

After hearing this, Bolton was stunned for a long time and muttered: "So, I was tricked by those dog officials?"

He looked up at Solandel and smiled happily: "Then you have made a great contribution this time! What reward will your father give you?"

Perseus said coldly: "I promised Kino that once the affairs of Danyu City are settled, I will make his "Helsing Family" a royal family. This matter is already being handled."

"I have already thought about Lorna's reward. I will establish a new legion, give the naming rights to Lorna, and nominate her as a reserve general."

"As for Solandel, there is no reward."

Bolton was so angry that he cursed and said: "It's really you! You are so kind to outsiders, but you don't give any reward to your own daughter. Do you still have a conscience?!"

Perseus' voice suddenly became louder: "Do you know why she didn't get a reward? Because she left the credit to you!"

Bolton's expression froze and he mumbled blankly: "Me?"

Perseus: "Yes, you. I asked her what reward she wanted, and she said she didn't want anything. She just wanted to use her merits to offset your faults so that you could come out safely."

Bolton froze in place like a statue, his lips kept trembling. He stared blankly at Solandel, the seventh prince of the royal family and the general of the bodyguard army. He actually shed tears in front of his sister: "Solan, you let me do this.

What face do I have to face you?”

When Solandel saw her brother crying, her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She said softly: "Brother, it's okay. I didn't want anything at all. As long as you can come out, don't be angry with your father anymore. We will be a family."

If there are no more conflicts, I will be very satisfied."

Bolton's crying became louder and louder, and he unconsciously knelt on the ground, covering his face and crying.

Solandel rubbed her wet eyes, walked into the cell door, took Bolton's head into her arms, and comforted him gently.

Perseus looked at the two brothers and sisters hugging each other, and his increasingly dark gaze fell on Bolton. His tone was as deep as the sea: "Bolton, you must always remember that you have such a good sister."

"For the rest of your life, don't argue with her about anything, don't compete with her."
