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

Kotick hasn't had a good time recently, and the new queen doesn't seem to like him very much.

Even if you are already a veteran of three dynasties, well, most people now are actually already veterans of three dynasties.

It is understandable that she is unwelcome. After all, when the new queen was still a saint, she had conflicts with the demons in order to take back some industries.

And Kodick is one of the main forces in the royal capital to promote the demons, and the demons are Kodick's political capital.

But even so, Codick still felt that those nobles and demons were acting too hastily. Although Clan seemed a little radical in promoting reform, his actions were still methodical. Everyone knew very well what the king wanted to do next, and Clan did not intend to carry out drastic reforms, and he compromised where necessary.

At least they will stand at the negotiating table and argue with you.

But some people are unwilling to suffer any loss and would kill such a good king at will.

It seems that his previous collaboration with outsiders to kill Augustine III gave some people confidence.

Of course, what worried Codick the most was that the demons never came to discuss the whole matter with him once.

This shows that the demons are no longer dependent on Kodik as a channel, and they even have their own small groups.

The tail end of winter is unusually long and cold, just like Kodick's current mood.

More and more imitators of Kodick have appeared in the capital, holding loud speakers transmitted by gray-white collars and shouting loudly in the streets, swearing to protect the freedom of the demons to the death.

These people were once loyal fans of Cordick. In order to quickly consolidate his power, Cordick promoted a bunch of people who knew nothing but could only shout for freedom.

But now Kodick is being criticized by these people because his policies are not extreme enough and are not flattering enough to the so-called vulnerable group, the demons. He is even criticized for being "not liberal enough."

Amidst such criticism, the people of the capital gradually forgot about the "heroic prime minister" who had overthrown the "evil Lars family."

"What do those guys know? Do they really want this country to die?"

Kodick muttered to himself as he strolled in the inner city of the royal capital wrapped in his coat. Although there were carriages to pick him up, Kodick enjoyed walking to the palace by himself more, because this not only showed his integrity, but also allowed him to enjoy the company of a group of nobles. But this scene could no longer be seen now.

Are their policies not extreme enough? Look at the policies of the so-called "liberals". They completely open up restrictions, attract demons to the capital, and force the people of the capital to "help" the demons. They don't even consider it illegal for demons to kill people. They should first reflect on why demons kill people. In the end, it is the people of Capet who are at fault.

The demons even live better in prison than most people in the royal capital.

This is totally aimed at the destruction of the country.

I just want money and power, not the death of this country!

However, the new queen hates demons very much, so this situation will still be curbed, right?

As Kotick was thinking about the current situation, he noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere on the street.

It was too deserted. Even though the new queen had little authority and little support from the nobles, it was still too deserted.

Isn't winter the season for the nobles to indulge in pleasure? Why is it still so deserted in the inner city?

Suddenly, Codick saw teams of patrolling soldiers appearing on the streets.

That's not right. I should be the one who arranges the city's defense. No matter how unpopular I am now, I am still the prime minister of this dynasty, right?

Codick slowed down his pace and carefully observed the passing soldiers, and found that they were from the family of Scott, Duke of the West.

Not only that, there are also people from the southern border.

Aren't the Western and Southern territories preparing for war? And shouldn't the royal soldiers of the Augustine family be in charge of the capital?

Kodik, sensing something, quickly entered the palace.

"You're late, Kotick."

Queen Lilith was wearing formal robes today and glanced at Kodick who had just entered the meeting room.

This made Codick so angry. It was bad enough that other people looked down on him, but how dare you, a queen, take the blame?

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, the capital in silver is too beautiful, and I was too attached to the scenery along the way."

Something was wrong. Cotick soon discovered the biggest problem at the meeting.

Why is Her Majesty the Queen, who usually shrinks like a chicken, has no intention of taking charge of things and only wants to be a human stamp, so majestic today?

"If you don't come, we won't be able to start the first topic today."

There is nothing wrong with this statement. After all, Cordick is the prime minister of the time, and it would be impossible to discuss the issue without him.

But Kodick heard a different meaning in this sentence.

"Your Majesty, what is the first topic for today? Why didn't you discuss it with me?"

"Prime Minister Kodick has been in collusion with the demons. From today on, all his positions will be revoked and he will be detained pending trial. Nora Les will take over his position."

Nora Les was very similar to Codick, both were standard old-school aristocrats, both had served as presidents of the Royal Capital College Student Union, and their family backgrounds were very ordinary, even humble.

But Nora is younger, more handsome, and more outstanding than Kotick. In the game, Nora is also one of the male protagonists who can be conquered.

Lilith's tone was flat and her eyes were downcast, as if she really was a supreme queen.

But Kotick couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty, are you kidding? I, Cordick, am the late king's father, the prime minister appointed by your father-in-law. You want to replace me? Hahahaha. At the beginning, Master Augustine overcame all objections to let me become the prime minister. You don't think your authority can be compared with your father-in-law, do you?"

I thought that if I raised my arm, the others present would immediately laugh at the queen's stupid decision. The queen seemed to have no idea of ​​power. Did she really think that she would be a queen just by wearing the crown? She actually wanted a pretty boy to take over her position as prime minister.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

The empty meeting room was filled with the sound of Cotick's awkward laughter.

"Caudric, I am not discussing with you, but informing you. Now, hand over the seal of the chancellor."

Lilith struck the ground with her scepter, and two guards immediately held Codick and began to search his body.

"Let go! Let go now! I am the prime minister of this dynasty! I am the prime minister appointed by Lord Augustine. You bunch of peasants have no right to attack me!"

Only then did Cordick realize that the other party was serious and began to struggle desperately. However, the guards quickly found the seal of the prime minister from Cordick's body and dragged Cordick out.

"Lilith Dowling!"

Kodick stared at Lilith who was sitting on the main seat with his eyes wide open.

"Don't think you're great just because you're with Clan. When Lord Augustine was still around, you couldn't refuse me when I asked you to warm my bed, you know that? If you weren't short and skinny, you would be my prime minister's collection now, you..."

Before Codick could finish his words, Hampton Scott, the son of Duke Scott of the West, flew over and kicked Codick in the face.

Nora Les kicked Codick so hard that he fell to his knees on the ground.

Only then did Codick realize that most of the members at the meeting had been replaced by the new elites in the capital, or pretty boys.

But that doesn’t make sense. When did these pretty boys gain such influence?

The moment he looked up, Codick saw the guards at the meeting place and suddenly recalled the scene on the street when he came here. He instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

Considering the fact that there have been many people openly supporting the new queen recently, including the two governors in the North who were ready to fight to the death, especially Lind, who even said something like he would make whoever asked the queen to abdicate.

Originally, Kodick just regarded these people as a joke.

But Lilith's petite figure suddenly became distorted, huge, and suffocating in Kodick's eyes, and the feeling of oppression instantly enveloped Kodick's whole body.

These people have one very obvious thing in common - although they may not be noticeable at ordinary times, they really have armies in their hands.

The members of the round table were replaced unknowingly, but Kotick did not notice it at all, because these replacements were all normal successions like sons inheriting their father's business.

Generally speaking, the position of the noble who succeeds his father will not change much, but this time it is different. Many of the new nobles were suitors of Her Majesty the Queen during her college days, although Codick did not understand why so many people liked this poor woman.

Moreover, these people once had good relations with the Clan, and most of their families had close ties with the country, making them potential reformers.

The former king, Clan, did not directly employ these people because he was afraid that it would trigger factional struggles in the royal capital - or a storm of party strife. Once it starts, it will be either you die or I die, and you will either lose everything or take everything away.

And this newly appointed queen is probably going to do something big.

Augustines, you didn't choose a monster, did you?

Codick took a last look at his accomplice in the gallery, Claire Augustine, and saw that Claire Augustine was still smiling, and seemed to be very supportive of her best friend's decision.

Naive, too naive. Power is like a beast that can never be fed, and I am just the appetizer of this beast.

This hungry beast will sooner or later devour the person who lets it out of the cage.
