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

There were two letters on Lind's desk, one from Wang Du and the other from Doug.

In the letter, Doug first expressed his condolences as an uncle, asked about Lind and Lena's recent situation, and finally repeatedly emphasized that it was not him who sent the assassin.

This was more of a response to Lind's declaration of war than a letter. It was estimated that Lind himself had not received it yet, but a copy was uploaded everywhere in Doug's territory the next day.

This letter was probably written by someone else. It is very well written. Not only did it put the author in the position of Lind's elder, it also implied that Lind staged the assassination in order to start a war.

Not long after Grand Duke Lars died, Doug searched the land and sea for his two nephews. Now that he says he did not assassinate his niece and nephew-in-law, the only person who would believe him is probably the real murderer.

But Doug still had to come out to clarify, because Lind's declaration of war was well-written and almost pointed at Doug, calling him a disloyal, unfilial, unkind, unjust, unceremonious, unwise and untrustworthy person, and he was also pointing fingers at Doug from the moral high ground of being assassinated.

Doug is like a foreigner outside the wall in his previous life who saw for the first time how people inside the wall cursed. After being cursed, he had to praise the other party for their eloquent curse.

This forced Doug to fight back, even though the fightback seemed quite weak.

The other letter was much more interesting than Doug's. When Lind received the letter, he was stunned for a moment, thinking he had traveled through time again.

After all, the sender's signature was Queen Lilith.

News was generally delayed in this era, and the only news Lind learned through Lucanus was that Clan had also been assassinated.

To be honest, when Lind learned that Clan was also assassinated, he could roughly guess who was behind the two assassinations.

But Lind really didn't expect that the Augustines would really nominate Lilith to the position.

Although looking back now, there were clues. There was intelligence before the incident that Clan was frantically expanding the queen's power. But no matter what, the queen is just the queen. Letting an outsider become the queen is really... too crazy.

The only explanation is that the situation in the royal capital is indeed very bad. The reform has entered deep waters and has become a dilemma. Even the rational Augustine is unwilling to take the blame, so he decides to push an outsider to take the blame.

If Lilith can successfully lead the reform, Augustine and others will just reap the benefits; if the reform fails, they will sacrifice Lilith to the gods.

Linde felt despair just thinking about it. This time traveler had such a miserable life. She became a widow just after getting married and had to take over the mess left by her husband.

But the letter that Lilith wrote to Lind was very interesting. First of all, the letter continued Clan's policy and acknowledged Lind's identity as the Governor of the North, but it also bluntly mentioned another "Governor of the North" Doug.

It was also stated directly that the royal capital had provided support to the two northern governors, both overt and covert support. For example, Lind had not suffered any economic blockade, and the gray-collar workers and merchants in the royal capital could still travel freely. Doug also received a lot of weapons and armaments assistance from the royal capital.

In fact, everyone knows about this kind of thing, but this is the first time that it has been spoken out so openly. After all, everyone still has to save face.

Then the new queen began to put forward conditions to Lind. She could recognize Lind's position as governor, and even recognize the legal succession and even the title of Grand Duke Lars inherited by Lind. She would also stop assisting Doug Lars and stop interfering in the North. She only needed Lind to publicly support her, the new queen.

It seems very generous, but it is actually a bunch of bullshit. Linde's status does not need the recognition of the royal capital now. Linde became the governor because of his current strength, not because he became the governor that he has the current strength.

The same goes for the legal status of Grand Duke Lars. Linde is now the patriarch of the Lars family and does not need recognition from the royal capital. Moreover, the queen has probably also written a letter to Doug Lars, and the content of the letter is probably similar to what Linde received.

As for the final cessation of aid, in fact the royal capital did not provide much aid to both sides of the Northern Territory. As long as it did not send troops directly, the royal capital could not truly change the situation.

Moreover, the contraction strategy towards the North had already begun during the Clan period. Considering the current situation where the capital is unable to take care of itself, even if Lind rejects this proposal, the capital will still gradually withdraw its aid and gradually relax its interference in the North.

It cannot be said that this promise is completely useless; it can only be said that it is completely useless.

This means that the newly appointed Queen wants to get the support of the two governors in the North for free.

After all, you support me and I support you. It's reasonable, right?

Lind recalled the letter he had written to the time traveler in a fit of rage. It seemed that the other party had grasped the essence and had become a qualified politician.

After thinking it over carefully, Linde decided to give the new queen some face.

After all, although Doug took the blame firmly, the masterminds behind the assassination of Clan and his own assassination were most likely the same group of people. Lind wanted to make these people pay the price, ten times, or even a hundred times.

Blood for blood, tooth for tooth.

As long as the time-travel queen is willing to take action, Lind doesn't mind helping to add some more explosive stuff. Yes, some pretty explosive stuff.

After writing his reply to the queen, Lind continued to deal with other matters. The new territory he conquered required a new management system, and the original system had to be revised while taking advantage of the victory. The more you win, the less resistance the nobles will have to reform.

The new Nobility Reform Act and Land Distribution Act must be implemented quickly during this period.

"You really aren't going back?"

Lind took the documents submitted by Caroline and glanced at the chief clerk who covered her dark circles with heavy makeup.

This former student union president of Wangdu Academy was also rumored to be his distant relative. Now she was a beautiful woman with long black hair and looked a little tired.

"If you don't leave now, it will be too late. You will be labeled as a white-collar worker. No matter which family you were born into, others will only think you are a white-collar worker."

"I can't ask for it."

Caroline handed over yesterday's production status to Linde.

"And my family also supports me very much and allows me to follow you."

This is what the nobles call not putting all your eggs in one basket, but Lind heard that Caroline was an outstanding descendant at the level of an heir, and he didn't know what rumors the other family had heard that made them put the biggest egg in his seemingly small basket.

"You should take a break. You haven't had much rest since this winter."

A good leader must learn to give those under him proper rest, just as Lind has always done.

Caroline can now be considered a member of the initial entrepreneurial team and an undoubted senior executive in Gray and White Collar, taking over most of Lila's original work.

But senior white-collar workers rarely take vacations, and Caroline is a workaholic. Even though professionals have better physical fitness than ordinary people, Lind thinks it is not a good thing to keep working overtime.

"I'll grant you two days of leave. Now you just need to make sure production can proceed normally and the bill can be smoothly advanced. There's nothing else important to do."

"No, Governor General, the war has just begun, and this is the most critical time."

"This is an order. Go and rest for two days. I will let others take over your work during these two days. You are not allowed to do any work."

"But Governor, you haven't rested for a long time."

Linde frowned. Caroline was not the first person to advise him to rest.

"The war has just begun, exactly..."

Halfway through his speech, Linde was stunned.

"Okay, I'll take a rest too, and so should you. Back off."

It seems that he really needs a rest. After Caroline leaves, Linde prepares to go back to the bedroom to rest and arrange for someone to take over Caroline's job. Well, Linde is still working.

"How long have you been away?"

Lena stood in the room with her hands on her hips, angrily yelling at Lind who was still working.

"Just last night..."

Linde dealt with the rest of the matters and lowered his head.

"come over!"

Reina sat on the bed and patted her thighs.

Seeing Linde hesitate, Reina asked, "Brother, don't you usually like this the most? And you should rest."

Although looking at the maids and nuns who were still bowing their heads in the room, Linde wanted to shout, "It's not that I don't have it, I just want to experience it," but in the end, Linde noticed the change in the name and lay down obediently.

"Brother, did I do something wrong? Why don't you let me work? You didn't even tell me that you declared war."

Lena gently stroked the ends of Linde's hair. Her expression was no longer angry, but full of worry and a hint of fear, perhaps because she was afraid that she would be abandoned.

Only then did Lind realize that his previous reaction was too hasty. The moment Rena fell down was too much of a shock to him, but it was time to let Rena return to normal life.

"I'm sorry... Let's eat roast duck together tonight."

"Well, let's go to the laboratory and take a look at the magic train. I just came up with a new idea. Although the train can't be optimized anymore, we can optimize the railway."

Lena continued: "Brother, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will stand with you."

In a daze, Linde had a rare good sleep since the war began - until he was awakened by Reina's drooling.

Well, Reina is still the same Reina. It seems that she should not use the knee pillow anymore in the future. But Lind felt extremely relaxed at the moment.
