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

After the parade and trial, this group of people were sent to the gray and white collar as quickly as possible.

However, the transport team stopped when they arrived at Black Iron City, and the gray-collared people continued to escort them for the rest of the journey.

Pete was escorted to Black Iron City in a daze. There was no sign of war in the entire Black Iron City. Merchants and ordinary people were walking on the bustling streets, and there were drama troupes performing from time to time.

The escorted nobles all looked at everything in Black Iron City with curiosity.

Although Black Iron City was prosperous, it was still within the comprehension range of these nobles. So after the initial shock, these nobles quickly calmed down. They were more shocked by the fact that the North seemed to be different from what they had heard in the intelligence.

Although they were under guard, there were many professionals among these nobles, while the guards were all ordinary people. Pete looked at those seemingly unarmed soldiers and felt ready to make a move.

When some soldiers were changing shifts, a nobleman quietly asked Peter: "Escape?"

Peter looked at the nobleman as if he were a moron.

This is like running away instead of committing suicide after being sentenced to death by the emperor.

With the help of the old nobles, the old party and some Augustines, Lilith chose to compromise. But if anyone refused to die and ran away, it would be like handing a knife to Lilith.

By then, even Augustine will have no reason to continue to stop Lilith.

What's more, this might make the white-collar workers unhappy. If something goes wrong in the arms deal, the peasants in the southwest will be watching.

The noble had no choice but to return to the team and follow the escort team to the Gray-White Collar.

When these nobles stepped into the gray-collar area, the towering obelisks, the huge water wheels, the rune arrays that can be seen everywhere in the streets, and the roaring factories all refreshed their understanding of the North and shattered their self-esteem.

The intelligence about the North that the royal capital received was seriously distorted. Not only was the intelligence extremely confusing, but some of it was also too outrageous.

After all, under Doug's rule, it can be said that the hell on earth that Cordick had described has basically been realized, and even worse than before.

The intelligence related to the gray-collar workers is very extreme. Either it is even more miserable than Doug next door, where the governor has to eat two children raw every day, or it is the kingdom of God on earth, where everyone lives like aristocrats.

Under the mixed attack of almost two extreme true and false intelligence, the general perception of the people in the royal capital is that the gray-collar workers in the North are very capable of fighting, but the actual situation is not much better than Doug, and they need to sell arms to make money.

This is the most sensible guess.

This is how it should be, but the gray-collar workers that are now presented to these nobles not only do not have the sour smell of swill, no starving people, no beggars, but are even more prosperous than the royal capital, and are full of things they have never seen before.

These nobles, who were known for their wide knowledge, looked like old men who had never seen the world in front of the gray-collar workers, looking around curiously.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, most people would still prefer to believe the version that Governor Linde ate two children raw every day.

Soon, Lind met these nobles in the cell. These nobles had basically accepted their fate and had no intention of escaping. When they saw Lind, they were just stunned for a moment and didn't say anything more. They didn't shed tears or kneel down to beg for mercy.

"Throw it to mining."

After saying this, Lind left the cell disappointedly with his men.

I had already ordered the escorts to relax their supervision, but I didn't expect that none of them escaped. What a pity.

This level of revenge cannot be considered revenge at all, and the real revenge is far from over.

"Tell me about the families behind these people. Introduce them one by one."

On the way out of the cell, Lind muttered to himself in the air.

But Lucanus' voice came from the shadows beside him, reporting the family situation of these people to Linde in detail.

It was the extremists among the old aristocracy who originally resisted Clan's new policies. These noble families who assassinated the king had to sit at the same table with Doug. No wonder these people could get along well with the demons.

"A bunch of dirty rats."

Linde shook his head as he listened. Lucanus' introduction further deepened Linde's stereotype of these nobles.

"Write down the names of these families so they can be used later."

Lind wants to let these people know that if they try, they won't be the only one who will die, unless your family is wholesale.

After returning to the study, Lind found the letter Lilith wrote to him.

In the letter, Lilith described in detail how these people colluded with the demons to carry out the assassination plan, and briefly talked about the current situation in the royal capital. She hoped that Linde could quickly open up new channels for purchasing muskets and artillery and send the weapons over.

Similarly, Lilith thanked Linde for his support as always in the letter, but the difference was that in order to thank Linde, she hoped to make Linde her sworn brother, and the two of them would call each other brother and sister from now on, which surprised Linde.

The relationship between sworn brothers and sworn sisters is not common in this world. Apart from appearing in the church, at most this kind of relationship may be established between very close lords and vassals.

Didn't the prime minister of Her Majesty the Queen read this letter? The Queen of a country called a local governor "brother". Does the Queen really know what she is doing?

Although the letters between Lind and the Queen were private in name, they were actually made public internally. They discussed important matters and had a diplomatic nature.

Linde wondered if the other party had been kicked in the head by a donkey, or hadn't understood his hint, as he was asking for sworn brotherhood over a letter of this nature?

Or does the other party think that if she becomes his sister, he will not rebel?

Not to mention a sister who is not related by blood, even if it was his real sister who came, Lin De would also rebel. At most, he would go from beating the other party to bringing her back for a good education, turning the Fengtian Jingnan into a real Fengtian Jingnan.

However, after watching it later, Linde began to understand the deeper meaning behind this decision.

Although the people escorted here were indeed the masterminds, they were also pushed out to take the blame. An assassination plan against the king requires hiring high-level professionals and requires a lot of money. How could it be decided by one person from a family?

The current queen seems to be in great glory. She just solved the assassination case of the previous king, and used this opportunity to open up channels for purchasing artillery. She is also about to become a saint of the Vatican again.

But Lilith was unable to settle accounts with these families.

Lilith does not have her own army, and her legitimacy comes entirely from Clan's will, and the right to interpret this will is in the hands of Augustine and others.

After all, no matter how comprehensive the will is, Clan is a dead man and cannot speak out. The Augustine family is the one who actually executes the will.

It is obvious that Lilith's power now exceeds the scope imagined by Augustine and others.

Perhaps the Augustines will not wait until the reform is completed, but will start to act as soon as the war on the southwestern border slows down a little.

No, perhaps the Augustines have already begun to act.

So Lilith needs to constantly rely on external forces to consolidate her position, and Lind is a very good external force.

In particular, Lind also said that he would force whoever asked the Queen to abdicate.

Lind even suspected that this was not Lilith's idea, but the work of the prime minister beside Lilith. It was more of an alliance than a sworn brotherhood, an alliance between Gray Collar and Lilith personally.
