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

The scene was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Dam finally realized something was wrong, but he still bravely continued, "My sister is well-educated and well-mannered, and our Ambrose family is a well-known and prestigious old noble family. Governor, how can you show your noble status with only one wife?"

"Drag down."

As soon as Lind finished speaking, two knights stepped forward, grabbed Dam and dragged him away.

"Governor! Wait a minute, Governor! I have something important to tell you. If you marry my sister, the entire Tongshan Territory will be yours!"

The entire hall was now eerily quiet. Only Colin stood up, clapped his hands and said, "Excellent!"

Even Colin was somewhat impressed by this man's courage, as he actually slandered his sister in front of his brother-in-law.

"Colin."

"The minister is here."

Lind threw Lise's scroll to Colin and said, "Return this thing to the owner, and I will leave the person to you for interrogation."

Colin showed a surprised expression, as if he had instantly found the meaning of life. After taking the scroll, he ran out happily.

At this time, Reina had just completed the final test of the magic train and was preparing to return to the Governor's Mansion to find Linde to personally report today's progress. However, on the way back, Reina saw from afar the noble ladies she was familiar with chatting while shopping.

Perhaps it was because Lind and Lena would stroll around the streets of Gray and White Collar when they were free, so the nobles who were concentrated in Gray and White Collar also began to imitate them. As more and more merchants gathered in Gray and White Collar, there were more and more shops on the street. The wives of those nobles seemed to have awakened some blood, and shopping became a trend.

Although Lind gave some compensation to those nobles who were more friendly and willing to surrender, most of the nobles who were only in name still had to go out to work. Those nobles no longer had the energy to accompany their wives shopping, so shopping together for some noble wives became a new way of socializing.

Reina had a pretty good relationship with these wives. At least on the surface, no one dared to gossip about Reina. The people who surrendered sooner knew what Reina meant to the entire gray-collar industry.

Normally, many noble ladies would come to ask Rena questions about mechanics and physics. This had become the main means of communicating with Rena. The noble ladies had to learn it, and there were even special remedial classes for it in the gray-collar industry. Some women of common origin who had excellent physics grades in compulsory schools would even be directly proposed to by nobles.

She wanted to greet these noble ladies, but her keen hearing as a knight allowed her to hear what they were talking about in low voices.

"Have you heard? Someone said from somewhere that Reina-sama is no longer worthy of the Governor-General. They even said that Reina-sama has no knowledge of etiquette and is not worthy of being a noble lady."

"Some people also say that Reina-sama is a jealous woman. The Governor-General has no other woman besides Reina-sama."

"Hey, if you ask me, this is nonsense. Doesn't the elf princess stay in the Governor's Mansion every day? It's just that the Governor is not interested."

“There are also rumors that Lady Reina has a large army and is planning a rebellion. How is that possible?”

Then, a lady took out a thin book, which was a bit like a magazine today. She turned to a page and was about to criticize it when she realized that Rena in the distance was staring at her absent-mindedly.

"Lady Rena!"

The ladies exclaimed, and Reina quickly walked up to them and asked, "What else? What else did they say?"

The noble lady subconsciously hid the thin book in her hand behind her, but Lena quickly snatched it away.

There was a large piece of text on it that contained a ballad attacking Reina.

In addition to criticizing Reina as a disgrace to the nobility, who has never changed and has no knowledge of etiquette, he also used a long paragraph to argue that Reina is no longer worthy of Linde and asked Linde to find a governor's wife instead.

Some of them even involved personal attacks, and even worse conspiracy theories, saying that Lena would definitely rebel in the future.

Seeing that Reina's eyes were red, the ladies took a step back in fear, but some who had a good relationship with Reina planned to step forward to comfort her.

But Lena just took the thin notebook and ran away quickly.

In the Governor's Mansion, Linde finished his business. Seeing that Colin had not yet finished interrogating the representative of Tongshan Territory, he prepared to go back to his room to rest. As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw Lena reading a book attentively.

Lin De walked over curiously, poked his head in and asked, "What are you looking at? Why didn't you let anyone know you were back?"

Lena was startled, and quickly closed the book, saying, "No, nothing, brother, are you back?"

"Haven't I been working in the mansion?"

Linde was a little confused. How could Reina, a rank 6 knight, be scared by him? Even if she had no suspicion of him, she wouldn't be scared to this extent, right? Besides, the term "brother" was only used subconsciously by Reina when she was nervous or angry.

Seeing Reina's flustered and slightly red eyes, Linde quickly pressed down the book that Reina was about to hide.

"A complete code of etiquette for the nobility? What do you want to see this thing for?"

"Hey, isn't this work over? I just want to find some books to read."

Linde was speechless for a while. Ever since she could not fall asleep while listening to the reports from the territory, Lena basically relied on this book to hypnotize herself. Seeing that it was still early outside, Linde picked up the book puzzledly, only to find that there was a thin book similar to a magazine underneath the etiquette code.

Reina, who was completely panicked, hadn't even reacted before the magazine was already in Lind's hands.

"It's so boring. There are actually people who would write something like this." Reina smiled awkwardly and touched her cheek with her fingers. It was unclear whether she was nervous or trying to ease the embarrassment.

Because her father disappeared when she was young and she was abandoned once, and her grandfather who loved her was killed by her uncle, Reina actually felt very insecure, so she liked to lean on Linde before going to bed every night. These songs and articles shattered Reina's last bit of sense of security.

Even though she knew she would not rebel, Linde would not believe these rumors, but Reina, who had no sense of security at all, still wanted to make some changes.

Linde's veins popped out when he read the contents of the thin magazine. Not only did it have conspiracy theories, it also involved personal attacks and kept talking about etiquette norms. It was really like the style of the old aristocracy.

But Lind felt that he was unusually calm now. He flipped through it casually and found the clue of this thin book. It was produced by a territory that had just surrendered not long ago. That territory was originally a large aristocratic territory. Because it surrendered quickly, Lind didn't care much.

These rumor magazines must be related to Tongshanling. When Linde thought of the young man who came to promote his sister, he immediately had a clue.

"But brother, don't you think I should learn some noble etiquette? Otherwise, I will be a burden to you, brother."

Reina asked the question seriously, which made Linde, who had calmed down, explode completely.

Lind tore up the thin magazine right in front of Lena and yelled, "Fuck the aristocratic etiquette, you are the etiquette!"

Reina was so politically obtuse that she hadn't realized her position among the white-collar workers. Linde continued to comfort her, "I still like the current Reina, so you don't have to worry about what others say. Leave the rest to me, okay?"
