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

In fact, on the first day of martial law in the royal capital, the army only patrolled the streets and did not arrest anyone directly. Most of those detained by the soldiers were those who wanted to force their way through the inner city gate or escape secretly.

There is actually no point in running away. After all, where can you escape to? Even if you really run away, it is impossible to take the entire family with you.

The brainless old nobles were still dreaming of escaping to the Kingdom of Anjou to surrender to the enemy, while the truly smart old nobles were already writing confessions.

Although the queen is cruel, she is not bloodthirsty. Even the former prime minister Cordick is alive and well. Although he is lying in prison, you can tell whether he is alive or not.

Many extreme measures were also taken by those soldiers, but now Lilith's control over these soldiers is no longer what it used to be. At least these soldiers are no longer simply listening to their superiors or masters as before, but are really obeying Lilith's orders.

But this was only the first day. Starting from the second day, more and more nobles were dragged out of their mansions and taken to cells for trial.

On the third day, although nobles were still being captured, some brave nobles went out to the streets to socialize as usual.

Especially those from the old party, they have realized that Her Majesty the Queen did not exaggerate the matter this time and did not arrest people indiscriminately, so they began to pluck up the courage to visit each other, hold dinners and even dances to exchange information.

"I have done things for the previous king, and my ancestors have shed blood for the kingdom. I want to see your majesty, I want to see your majesty!"

Pete was carried out by the soldiers in an extremely undignified posture, but no matter how Pete wailed, the soldiers still dragged Pete away regardless.

Pete didn't dare to use magic yet. At least for now, only he was captured. Yesterday, Pete saw someone using magic to resist in the mansion, and the soldiers simply switched to random firing mode.

Until now, Pete still remembers the words the knight said at that time: "Her Majesty is reasonable, but if you don't want to reason with Her Majesty, then I also know a little about gunpowder and magic."

So no matter how rude and ungentlemanly these soldiers were, Pete only dared to shout a few words to vent his anger.

On the way, Pitt saw Marcel and other members of the old party who were going to attend the dance tonight. They did not take a carriage, but walked and discussed something on the road. Pitt immediately shouted: "Sir Marcel, save me, save me!"

It would have been better if he hadn't shouted. As soon as he shouted, Marcel noticed Pete being dragged away. Marcel, who was still angry, pointed at Pete's nose and cursed: "It's you bugs who killed the previous king and messed up the capital. You deserve to die!"

What these nobles were talking about with Marcel on the road was nothing else but commemorating the late King Clan.

Because death is the greatest thing, and because of the sharp contrast between Clan and Lilith's current governing styles, as well as the memory filter of these old nobles, Clan was elevated to an incredible height in the minds of these old party nobles.

Seeing Marcel start talking, another noble who had just been chatting enthusiastically knelt down and bowed in front of the Cathedral of the Dormition of the Holy Spirit where Clan's body was stored, and said: "Your Majesty, did you see this? The culprit who killed you has been caught. You can now rest in peace in the Kingdom of God."

Immediately, more nobles knelt down, either out of genuine emotion or in a dramatic mood: "Your Majesty was such a good king, diligent, tolerant, and enterprising. How could he have been killed by a traitor? If Your Majesty hadn't died, our Capetian Kingdom would be so prosperous now."

The Pitts were confused. Did they forget the pressure exerted by Clan during his reign? Did they forget that Clan was expanding the power of the queen against the old nobles? Did they forget that Clan was going to touch the nobles' core land and taxes?

However, compared with the current Her Majesty the Queen, Pitt actually felt a little regretful in his heart.

After all, no matter how deep the reforms are carried out in Clan, they will still sit down and discuss them properly. There is no need to bring troops into the city.

At this time, another noble was wailing: "I held His Majesty Clan in my arms when he was a child. He was such a good child, sensible and polite, and he is gone just like that."

This is true, and many old-time royal nobles have actually embraced Clan.

For a moment, these nobles could not tell whether their feelings were false or true, and they actually started to mourn for Clan Augustine in the street.

Even Pete was swept up in this atmosphere and started crying. He kept admitting his mistakes and said that he would try his best to reform himself after he went in. Anyway, the atmosphere was there.

However, this group of soldiers did not feel anything. After all, they were loyal to the Duke of the two southwestern territories, and Her Majesty the Queen provided them with weapons and equipment. As for the late king, they wished him all the best in the kingdom of God.

So the group of soldiers dragged Pete away roughly.

Seeing this, Marcel also climbed up with the other members of the old party. No matter what, the attitude was in place, and everyone continued to walk towards the venue of tonight's ball.

The scene of the ball was filled with the old party members who were not affected. The nobles were toasting each other as usual, but in fact most of them had heavy expressions on their faces.

Although many of the clues this time were provided by the old party, and Her Majesty the Queen will certainly reward them according to their merits in the future, these old party members cannot laugh.

Even though the separation has been made, the impact on the old party is still huge. On the surface, the power in the royal capital has been balanced again, but from the actual impact, the old party has just cut off a group of people in exchange for a little reputation that has little effect at present.

After all, no matter how high the old party's reputation is, can it be higher than that of Her Majesty the Queen today?

It is not without benefits though. At least people in the two southwestern regions will no longer look at the old party with a bad face. At least even if it is not right on the surface, everyone knows what is going on behind the scenes. Not only did the old party not provide any clues at the beginning, it also helped to cover it up.

"I heard that Her Majesty the Queen is going to become a saint again."

A noble began to sigh to Marcel. Her Majesty the Queen's prestige among the people in the royal capital was already very high. After becoming a saint, Her Majesty the Queen could legitimately interfere in the affairs of the Vatican, and her reputation would be unprecedentedly improved.

The Capetian Kingdom will give birth to its first theocratic queen since its founding.

Marcel understood what the noble was worried about, and this was also the main concern of the Old Party now, that is, after this incident, no one would be able to stop Her Majesty the Queen’s pace of reform.

But Marcel clinked glasses with the nobleman and said, "This is not a problem we should consider. In other words, it is not us who are anxious about Her Majesty the Queen becoming a saint again. There are people who are much more anxious than us."

"You're right."

After hearing what Marcel said, the noble also understood. The Augustines were guarding a palace without a king. After hearing that Lilith would become a saint again, they were probably more anxious than the old party.

Marcel had to admit that Her Majesty the Queen had some means, but she was still too young after all. Cooperating with the Vatican could indeed expand power, but greater power meant greater risks.

What’s more, the current situation of the Holy See is hard to describe.
