Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?
Chapter 118: The Dorian Family Tree
Cohent Dowling walked the inner city streets with his back hunched and his back bent, as if he was afraid of being recognized.
All around were the terrifying wails and cries of the nobles, but there were no demons, because the demons that once flooded the inner city were no longer visible.
Lilith adopted the simplest and most direct method - physically eliminating the opposition. There was even the smell of blood in the air.
This method is only a temporary solution, because most of the nobles who were directly brought down on the night of the purge were those who were promoted by Kodick and could only shout for freedom, as well as the demons active in the royal capital.
A noble who is truly in deep water will not easily show up.
Coent wrapped his coat tightly. He never expected that his once well-behaved and sensible little daughter would become so cruel after ascending the throne. But she was his daughter after all.
Before entering the palace, the etiquette officer found Coent and taught him in person the etiquette for meeting the king.
Of course, it doesn't take that much trouble for ordinary royal nobles to enter the palace. This is just to give Coente a warning. After all, Coente's current identity is very sensitive as he is a relative by marriage.
No one understands in-laws better than Augustine. Even though the Dorian family had no power at all, Coint still received the strictest education.
It is better to say that it is precisely because the Dorian family has no power that they impose many restrictions on Coent.
After completing a series of inexplicable rituals, Cohen finally saw his daughter.
"His Majesty."
Cohent knelt down and saluted.
Lilith immediately stepped forward and helped up her cheap father in this life.
"Father, this is the study, no need to be so polite."
Seeing his daughter nod, Coente stood up with relief.
"Father, why are you here? The capital is too dangerous."
“Little Lilith, I don’t know what you are going to do, but I know you are in greater danger now.”
After saying that, Coent looked around vigilantly.
All around her were Lilith's personal maids when she was still a saint.
"Father, don't worry, we are all family here."
Only then did Coente completely relax.
"Little Lilith, what I am about to say is very important."
Cohen untied a thread on his clothes, revealing a secret pocket inside his coat, which contained a not-thin family tree.
"This is the real family tree. It's not safe to keep it with us. Little Lilith, please put it in a safe place, or with someone you can completely trust."
Coent hesitated for a moment and said, "If there is really no one you can trust, you can try to contact Duchess Judith, or Governor Lind in the North."
Lilith was full of questions about her cheap father's behavior until she flipped through the so-called real family tree.
"Are our family descendants of the old empire?"
For a moment, Lilith even had the urge to burn the family tree.
If Augustine knew that Lilith was a descendant of the old empire, they would probably pull Lilith off the throne on the spot.
"I do not know."
Cohent shook his head.
"At least that's what the family tree says. But there are people everywhere claiming to be descendants of the old empire. Normally, no one cares."
That’s right, the local minor nobles like to find a prominent family inheritance for their ancestors, and Augustines don’t bother with this kind of fake inheritance that is everywhere.
At most, some people really have black hair and black eyes, which makes them more credible.
But things are different now. The Grand Duchess of the South Territory is an obvious descendant of the Old Empire. There seems to be another descendant of the Old Empire in the North Territory whose true or false is unknown, and she has also inherited part of the Lars family. Now, a queen who suddenly appears to take over the kingdom is also a descendant of the Old Empire.
The old empire is probably going to be resurrected. I don’t know if Lilith can still sleep, but Augustine probably can’t sleep either.
Augustines: "Recently, there are more and more people claiming to be loyal to the old empire. Your Majesty, do you have any clues?"
Seeing his daughter's doubtful look, Coent felt distressed. He held Lilith's hand and said, "Little Lilith, why don't you burn her? Your being alive is more important than anything else. We don't want to be queens anymore. Let's find a chance to run away."
"Father, there is no turning back."
Lilith still accepted the family tree. Some of the content in it could be corroborated by Judith, the Duchess of the South. Of course, this could not be used as a criterion for judging the authenticity of the family tree. After all, Judith's story had long been known to everyone.
The most crucial reason is that the East Territory and the North Territory are relatively close. It is clearly recorded that the Dorian family is a branch of the Rawl family in the North Territory. The governor of the North Territory is not only a descendant of the old empire, but also a distant cousin of Lilith in terms of seniority.
This genealogy was compiled much earlier than the rise of Linde Roll.
And to know whether it was true or not, Lilith went to Judith's brother to confirm it, and she would know after taking a look at the real family tree of the Duchess of the South.
Lilith also believed that this cheap father would not lie to her. After all, this cheap father even advised her to burn the family tree.
It can basically be determined to be true.
Once the news gets out, it can even explain why the gray-collar worker supports him so firmly. After all, the two sides are from the same family.
Should I call it fate's evil play? I didn't expect that Lind Rohr was really my "brother".
For a moment, Lilith even had an absurd idea, that it would be great if it was her brother who traveled through time and space to become Linde Roll.
But Lilith soon came to her senses. It was a good thing to have dreams, but people were still thinking about "helping God to quell the rebellion" for her.
Moreover, it was so counterintuitive that the person who died first traveled through time later, so Lilith just regarded this conjecture as her own fantasy.
In the end, Lilith accepted the family tree, appeased her cheap father, and learned about the recent situation in the East Territory.
When everything was over, Lilith slumped down on the table exhausted.
The family tree is not completely useless. At least it can strengthen the connection with the southern border. But Lilith cannot show this trump card until the critical moment.
The situation was still very bad, and protests drifted into the palace like snowflakes.
After last night's purge, countless nobles began to protest. All kinds of excessive law enforcement, all kinds of false cases, all kinds of attacks and conflicts on soldiers piled up on Lilith's desk.
These nobles were very shrewd. They did not attack Lilith directly, and even flattered her to the utmost, but directed their spearheads at the new Prime Minister Nora Les.
Lilith chose to turn a blind eye to everything. Even though she knew that some things were indeed wrong, Lilith had to persevere.
The same will apply to future policies. Even if some policies are really implemented poorly, Lilith must continue to implement them under pressure and make some improvements at most, but they must not be abolished.
There are no signs of factional strife yet, but once Lilith opens a gap and relaxes her support for Nora Les, a confrontation between the new party and the old party will immediately arise in the royal capital.
By then, no policies or reforms will matter, and all problems will become personal issues.
Lilith, who had re-firmed her determination, picked up her pen and began to write a reply to Governor Lind, the gray-collared man.
The other party probably already knew that she was a time traveler. After all, replacing the heroine was too obvious. But on the surface, Lilith still needed to cover it up to avoid being noticed by others about her relationship with the governor of the gray-collar workers.
In the letter, Lilith directly asked the gray-collared man for technical support. After all, Lilith had already realized that the other party must have grown something in the fields, especially since there was news that the two armies in the north had begun using firearms in the war.
Although the intelligence said it might be some new magic item, Lilith knew it was a firearm as soon as she heard it.
The pressure on the two southwestern territories was very high, especially after Lilith transferred some soldiers and people to the royal capital, and they were in urgent need of replenishment of combat power.
If the two southwestern territories and the kingdom collapsed now, it would definitely not be a good thing for this time traveler, so Lilith asked for technology with confidence, as if she had asked for living expenses from her brother in her previous life.
But overall, Lilith is still quite pessimistic. Regardless of whether the other party will give it or not, if the other party really gives the gunpowder technology, Lilith will be even more worried. After all, that means that the other party's armament technology is already so strong that it is a generation behind these muskets.
