Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?
Chapter 150: Adding fuel to the fire
Although the North has not yet separated from the kingdom, at least in name, even the title of Governor was given by Clan.
But everyone knows that once the North is unified, given the kingdom's current state, independence is only a matter of time.
If Lind becomes Lilith's sworn brother, at least the relationship between the two sides won't be too ugly, and the worst relationship between the North and the Kingdom will be that of allies in the future.
If you think about it carefully, if calling him brother can make the North at least nominally dependent on the Kingdom of Capet, it doesn't seem so unacceptable.
If Augustine forced Lilith to step down under such circumstances, they would have to consider the attitude of the North. This action might even directly become the fuse for the North to declare war on the kingdom.
After all, this subtle alliance is with Lilith personally, not with the entire royal capital, and has nothing to do with Augustine.
From now on, Lilith's position will be more secure.
But what good would it be for the gray-collar workers to acknowledge this sister? It would be too casual to do it just to disgust those old noble families.
Ultimately, this matter is a game for the balance of power in the royal capital. All parties have their own demands for balance, and the demands of the gray and white collars are that the queen cannot fall before the unification of the north, there can be no internal strife in the royal capital, and the southwest direction must at least be stabilized.
But at the same time, the gray-collar workers do not want the Queen's power to be too great, or in other words, apart from the church and the New Party, probably no one wants the Queen to really restore the glory of the kingdom.
After comprehensive consideration, Lind still planned to refuse. After all, Lind still felt that simply giving the capital a little blood transfusion in terms of armaments would be enough. If they really formed an alliance, they would be somewhat restricted in the future.
There are many ways to decline politely. After all, this proposal is somewhat abstract. The North has not officially split off yet. Your Majesty, it would be inappropriate to recognize the Governor of the North as your big brother.
Just when Linde was about to write his reply, Lena came to Linde to approve the latest experimental funds.
While Linde was examining it, Reina curiously picked up the letter from the royal capital and began to read it. In the entire territory, Reina was the only one who could casually check the documents on Linde's desk.
Seeing that Reina was interested, Linde also introduced Reina to the current situation in the royal capital and was ready to consult Reina's opinion. After all, Reina, who had been in and out of the palace, might be the person who knew the royal family best in the territory.
Although Lena didn't seem to understand what Linde said about the political relationships, Linde also said that this alliance could be accepted or rejected, and Linde had ways to deal with it. Lena only needed to express her opinion.
After thinking hard for a while, Reina asked doubtfully, "Why not accept it? Her Majesty the Queen wants to be our sister."
To be honest, Lena had already gotten over the fact that Lilith had snatched away her ex-fiancé and kicked her into a gray-collar job. If it weren't for Lilith, she wouldn't have met Linde.
But when Linde heard this answer, he slapped his forehead. As expected, Lena didn't understand a word he said just now. She only understood that Lilith, the current queen, wanted to be Linde's sister.
Reina has no idea how high her and the gray-collar workers' status is, and she still retains the traditional aristocratic thinking. Just as Reina thinks that the prime minister is the highest official position, the king is higher than the prime minister.
Tia, who was reading a history book intently on the sofa, couldn't help but burst out laughing.
But Reina continued, "Linde, think about it. Her Majesty the Queen is in such a high position now, and she wants you to be her sister. How hard must her life be in the capital? I didn't like those people in the royal family before. They always point fingers at you behind your back. They are so sarcastic and mean. There are only a few good people."
"Those people in the royal family must not like Her Majesty the Queen very much right now, so Her Majesty came to us for help. Anyway, there is no need for us to do anything, so we should help Her Majesty more."
Hearing this, Linde suddenly came to his senses.
That’s right, Lilith’s power is growing, and her position is becoming more and more stable, so the ones who should be anxious are Augustine and others. Why should I be anxious too?
By then, Augustine will definitely think of using various means to bring Lilith down, and the gray-collar worker can only watch the fire from the other side of the river, not to mention that after agreeing to this request, it would seem like adding fuel to the fire.
Just like Lilith becoming a saint again, it seems that her power has been expanded, but in fact it is stimulating the sensitive nerves of Augustine and others.
The legitimacy of Lilith is completely in the hands of the Augustines. Now Lilith seems to be in power, but she cannot even completely liquidate those old nobles, let alone liquidate the royal Augustines. The queen's power is completely an attic in the air, so she has to use such a ridiculous method to seek help from the outside world.
Lind found that he was thinking too much and thought he was on the fifth floor, but in the end he discovered that Lilith and her prime minister might be on the first floor. She might have just discovered that she couldn't take action against the royal family, so she urgently needed some means to consolidate her throne.
The fact that such an abstract and somewhat absurd proposal could be written in a diplomatic letter speaks volumes. Lilith's situation in the capital might not be as optimistic as imagined.
Perhaps Lilith's suggestion was too abstract, which reminded Linde of his sister, so he was a little confused for a moment.
Rather than believing that Augustine and others can endure for a lifetime and let Lilith play the role of Wu Zetian, it is better to believe that Lena gave Linde this suggestion after she had seen through everything.
Even if Augustine and others were to transform into Black Tortoises, as long as they acted a little bit more aggressively and downplayed their relationship with the Queen, there would be no need to worry about no one being fooled.
Unless Lilith dares to take action against the royal family, but if she really does, Lind can cut them off on the spot and pretend to be a loyal subject.
In the end, no matter which side wins, Lind can directly use the name of clearing out the emperor's side. No matter which emperor it is, you just say whether the gray-collar workers are loyal or not?
What Lind has to do now is to intensify the conflict without letting it explode. Instead, forming an alliance with Lilith can help him gain some initiative. In this way, the attitudes of the gray-collar workers in the future will directly affect the decisions of Augustine and others.
The only variable is religion, but will the Church of the Goddess of Light really tear itself apart for Lilith and Augustine? Moreover, the church has long lost its former glory, and with the continuous secularization, it can't even put together a crusade.
Now it is the Goddess Church that is relying on the power of Lilith, or in other words, supporting each other with Lilith.
"So that's it, Reina, you are indeed a genius!" After sorting out his thoughts, Linde hugged Reina excitedly.
"Since you've said that, we have to take good care of Her Majesty the Queen in the capital."
After Lena left, Lind picked up his pen and began to write a reply to his "sister".
Tia on the side asked curiously: "Aren't you going to rebel? Now the queen has become your sister, how can you rebel in the future?"
"It is precisely because the Queen is my sister that I can rebel without any psychological burden in the future."
While Lind was considering the words to write in his reply, he said, "Someone in the capital is bullying my sister, so I go over and beat them up. Is that reasonable?"
"If the king sends troops to stop us, it means that someone is trying to sow discord between us siblings. Is that okay?"
"Then after entering the capital, I..."
Before Linde could finish, Tia interrupted him and said, "Okay, okay, I know what you are thinking. You humans are more shameless than I thought."
"Do not."
Lind said seriously: "These things are likely to really happen."
When he thought of this, Lin De remembered his sister in his previous life. He didn't know if she was married now. He hoped that she hadn't been abducted by some young man.
