Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

"So where's the money? How can we start work without money?"

Lilith took a report and slapped it on Cran's desk.

More and more refugees cannot survive the winter, and the church’s porridge distribution has almost reached its limit and is about to exceed the threshold.

So Lilith made a work-for-relief plan. The winter in the royal capital is not as cold as in the north, so these refugees can repair and build some infrastructure, which at least will not let people starve to death.

This plan has been approved by the Vatican and has been implemented for some time. Although various unexpected problems were encountered in the beginning, fortunately, it was generally successful and two new churches are now under construction.

The same plan was put forward by Clan, but it has been difficult to start construction because Clan does not have much funds available.

Although the salt and iron factories were recovered by Lilith, they were only salt and iron manufacturers in the royal capital and the surrounding areas, and they had not yet started to make a profit.

Clan no longer had the domineering attitude of a boss, but instead said soothingly with a henpecked face, "It will be approved soon. Duchess Judith is already helping."

"Then we'll use food as a substitute. We still have some food, right? If that doesn't work, I'll go get food from the Vatican. We have no choice but to start the work."

Lilith got into work mode and made a note in her notebook.

"No problem, just do as you think, ahem!"

"Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Lilith looked at Clan helplessly as he started coughing. Although he was much better than before, this feeling of powerlessness made Lilith very flustered.

If it was the original heroine, she would not only take good care of Clan, but she could even help Clan recover, right? But Lilith is a fake, so she can only help Clan reform to consolidate her position and give herself some psychological comfort.

"It's okay. I think once the Magic Association's special medicine comes out, I'll be able to recover completely."

Looking at the flustered Lilith, Cran continued, "Has the Vatican responded? When can we get married?"

Lilith blushed and said shyly, "Maybe in the spring? The Pope is already selecting a new saint. We can get married when this winter is almost over."

"it is good."

Cran just replied softly.

When did he fall in love with Lilith? Crane forgot, maybe it was the first time he saw her at the academy, or maybe it was when Lilith first broke into the dance. Although falling in love with Lilith was largely a conspiracy, Crane believed in his own heart.

It took a lot of determination for Clan to write the will, because it was like putting almost all the burden on the short girl in front of him, which was a manifestation of irresponsibility and contrary to Clan's previous machismo.

I hope that will never be used. After all, power is being taken back and Lilith is also working hard, so Cran has to work harder as well.

Although the bill to amend the Queen's powers has not yet been officially released, some well-informed nobles have already heard the news. Everyone knows that this is paving the way for Lilith, and some people are ready to make a move.

Although it sounds outrageous to join forces with a love rival, Cran is willing to pay any price as long as the kingdom can survive and the reform can be promoted.

On the other hand, after hearing the news, some nobles immediately began to secretly contact the demons.

"It seems that our Majesty is going to be serious."

"It's a pity that none of the Three Realms' Grand Dukes objected. Shouldn't we have killed Grand Duke Lars in the first place?"

"Your Majesty can no longer be allowed to act recklessly. You want to take back the territory near the capital? Are you kidding me? Is Your Majesty going to abandon the honor of the nobility?"

The nobles discussed with each other.

The demon at the side asked his colleague, "Are all humans like this? We clearly came here to discuss assassinating the new king, but humans don't dare to bring it up first."

"Yes, humans are so hypocritical, and cannot compare to us noble demons."

The demon laughed loudly, then clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, since you are all here, there is no need to hide. We have contacted the assassins of the Black Crow Secret Party. All you need is money to achieve your ideal goal."

The nobles fell silent and nodded.

Everyone supported the reform at the beginning, including the old nobles. In the eyes of some people, the rise of Anjou was unstoppable, and if reforms were carried out now, perhaps it could be sold at a better price in the future.

But I didn't expect that you actually really wanted to destroy everyone's life. There's nothing we can do about it. Let's change someone.

The old king was targeted by an unknown force. It was the first time for the old nobles to change the king, so they were inevitably a little nervous.

"Is this Black Crow secret party reliable?"

An old noble asked.

"A shadow professional above level seven."

The demon explained the assassin's strength in one sentence.

"But aren't those above level seven subject to the tower's control?"

"Not all professionals above level seven can do this. Professionals who have just entered level seven do not have the ability to influence the situation on the continent, so the management of the tower is not very strict."

The demon paused for a moment before realizing that he had said the wrong thing.

The nobles reacted immediately.

"Then we cannot guarantee that he will be killed. Although Augustine is now in decline, he is not so weak that even his guards are a bunch of crooked people."

"You demons aren't going to take advantage of this opportunity to make a profit from the middleman's price, are you?"

But fortunately, the two sides with common demands were united and did not quarrel over this in the end.

Even though the assassination might not be successful in the end, everyone still thinks it’s worth a try. No one thought it would be successful the last time the curse was sown, so what if it succeeds this time?

What's more, Clan's body will be very weak for some time to come, and he may not be able to survive the assassination.

The assassination was scheduled for the wedding of Clan and the new queen Lilith. These nobles were responsible for covering for the assassin and collecting intelligence. The demons provided the latest curse to ensure that even if Clan was not killed in one blow, he would be unable to move.

Just when everyone had finalized the plan, the demon suddenly said, "Wait, there is another person who needs to be assassinated."

"The grey-collared governor? Why?"

"His rise was so bizarre that we were afraid Doug would actually lose to him in the end, which would be very disadvantageous to us."

The nobles could understand it at first, after all, Doug was one of them, but they found that the price of assassinating Lind was more expensive than assassinating Clan.

Because there are annoying bards around Linde, and it is said that the new king of Anjou also has one, assassinations against the new king of Anjou have never stopped, but they have all been stopped by the bards over there.

In order to bypass these bards, the cost of the necessary magic props must also be paid by the employer.

Fortunately, in the end, the demons were unusually generous and paid most of the deposit for the assassination of Linde.

For these nobles, they all felt that the assassination would not be perfectly successful. After all, the Tower had strict control over high-level professionals. The so-called seventh-level professionals were most likely counterfeits. The Tower would not allow professionals who could truly influence the situation on the continent on their own to act freely.

Of course, there are other forces that are not under the control of the Tower, but the actions of these forces are generally tacitly approved by the Tower. Of course, the most important thing is that these forces have their own codes of conduct, or their ultimate goals in some aspects are consistent with the Tower. At least high-level professionals will not easily take action.

Besides, assassination is a profitable business. In the end, no one can find out who did it. What if it succeeds? After all, the example of Augustine III is still before us. Although we don’t know which force assassinated Augustine III, it at least shows that the royal family has declined to the point of losing the ability to track down the assassin.

Of course, it cannot be considered as a really profitable business, after all, organizing an assassination requires a lot of money and energy.

But as long as you keep the power in your hands, money is a small matter, and you won’t die if you try.
