Lilith felt that she had become more and more pious recently. At least, Lilith, who had always believed in materialism, now hoped that the goddess would respond to her, a saint who was not very pious in the past.

The Augustines held a meeting right under Lilith's nose without Queen Lilith in attendance. Anyone with a sound mind would understand what the Augustines were discussing.

"Your Majesty, there is news from the North."

Nora ran into the study quickly and handed over Linde's latest letter and the latest intelligence from the North.

Lilith nervously took the heavy letter and placed it on the table.

To be honest, these male protagonists are not as reliable as imagined, just like this bad idea that Nora came up with.

Although the essence is to let Lilith form an alliance with the Gray Collar alone and add some trump cards to Lilith, the governor of the Gray Collar is not a good person, but a time traveler full of ambition.

Forming an alliance with the other party is basically like drinking poison to quench thirst, which will only intensify the conflict between herself and Augustine. But this cannot be blamed on Nora. After all, the conflict between Lilith and Augustine was already very deep. To be honest, this alliance is not a big deal.

And Lilith really needs this alliance. Although it will make Augustines distrust her even more, with this alliance, at least Augustines will not do anything to her in the short term.

After carefully examining the wax seal, Lilith carefully pried open the wax seal and took out the letter.

Unexpectedly, the time traveler over there agreed to his mother's outrageous request to open the door for him, and the trade of muskets and cannons will begin immediately. Several cannons as rewards have been transported to the royal capital along with the letter.

It was clearly Lilith who proposed the alliance request, but now that the other party really agreed, Lilith's eyes twitched.

In another world, I recognized a person with the same name as my brother and he is my brother. I don’t know what my brother in heaven would think. By the way, can people in heaven see the other world?

Forget it, just think of it as my brother blessing me.

Lilith calmed down. She didn't expect that such an outrageous and bad idea would actually be passed.

But at the same time, Lilith had a deeper understanding of her situation. Wasn't it just fanning the flames that the time traveler agreed to form an alliance? He couldn't really want to help her, right?

"In this way, your Majesty's position will be temporarily stabilized, and the plans discussed before can also be implemented."

Seeing Lilith's expression, Nora could roughly guess the content of the letter.

With the help of Lilith, Nora carried out a series of administrative, judicial and financial reforms to improve administrative efficiency, reduce the power of the nobility and increase the country's tax revenue.

Although these reforms strengthened the control of the central government, they had been strongly opposed by the Old Party. And now the Old Party has begun to show a tendency to collude with the royal family, forcing Nora to slow down the pace of reform.

With the alliance of the Governor Gray Collar, the serf reform that Nora has been planning for a long time may be put on the agenda.

"hold on."

But Lilith stopped Nora first.

"We need to wait a little longer."

The more this happened, the more Lilith dared not relax. Lilith's power was so great now that even Lilith herself was a little scared.

Nora was stunned for a moment when she heard the response, but when she saw Lilith looking in a certain direction, she understood.

The alliance only gave Lilith an additional trump card, and it did not mean that the royal family would give up like this, and now the royal family’s internal meeting had not yet ended.

Nora wanted to take a step forward to comfort Lilith, but she stopped as soon as she took a step. Lilith was now the queen, and Nora was just Lilith's prime minister.

Thinking of this, Nora bowed and left the study.

The next day, Lilith thought it was Cliff who came to discuss things with her, but she never expected that her best friend Claire would come instead.

"Her Majesty the Queen has been so busy lately that she has become quite estranged from me."

Claire teased Lilith while pouring tea for her personally.

"What's wrong? Not slumped in the chair like before?"

It can be seen that Claire put a lot of thought into this conversation, just to make Lilith relax a little.

But Lilith moved her petite body, still sitting upright and said: "I'm a little used to the current situation."

"Well, my queen, you have completely turned into a lady now. It's a pity that my brother can't see it."

Seeing that Lilith still looked serious, Claire sighed and sat back in her seat.

"So what did you talk about yesterday? Do you think the reforms have been completed and you want me to step down?"

Hearing Lilith say this, Claire asked disappointedly, "We have to talk about business now?"

Hearing what she had said at the girls' meeting, Lilith finally relaxed a little and asked, "Your Highness, didn't you come to see me because of the meeting you held yesterday?"

Claire did not correct the mistake in Lilith's address, because to Lilith, this address seemed to make her feel more relaxed. Anyway, no one dared to find fault with Her Majesty the Queen's minor etiquette flaws, especially in such a private occasion.

"It's for yesterday's meeting, and also to be able to be with His Majesty."

Claire smiled faintly and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. At least I am personally very satisfied with what Your Majesty has done. Although there have been some discordant voices recently, I will always support Your Majesty. It's just a pity that the real culprits behind the assassination of my brother have not been punished."

Hearing Claire say this, Lilith was finally moved, and a trace of fatigue appeared on her tense face.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's talk about some relaxing things happening in the capital recently. Your Majesty, are you and Governor Linde really siblings?"

"Your Highness, do you actually believe these rumors?"

Lilith finally relaxed completely, lying on the table and said tiredly, "I don't know where this came from. My father has never left the East Territory except for the last time he came to the capital."

"So what did your Majesty's father do when he came to the king last time?"

After Claire asked this question, Lilith's eyes subconsciously dodged for a moment, and she looked a little flustered, but she regained her composure in just a moment.

"He came to see me and explained some things about my hometown. He told me not to worry and not to take special care of my family. Everything at home is enough. He was afraid that I would be criticized for only thinking about my family after becoming the queen."

"Oh, he is such a good father. In fact, Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. Even if you help your family, no one will say anything. With your father's character, he deserves all this."

Claire keenly noticed Lilith's panic at that moment, but pretended nothing happened and continued to chat with Lilith about interesting things in the royal capital.
