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

As the saying goes, there is always a way out.

When Linde and Laurie had begun to consider whether to become bandits, an envoy from the royal capital found Linde.

The messenger got off a luxurious carriage inlaid with sapphires. The double-headed lion emblem on the carriage, representing the royal family, forced Lind to kneel down and salute according to etiquette.

But the messenger in blue robe hurried forward to support Lind, and at the same time took Lind's hand affectionately and started talking.

"Viscount Linde Roll, I have been searching for you for a long time. Since I heard that your territory was breached, I did not dare to stop for a moment, and finally found you here. Fortunately, the goddess blessed you, and you are fine."

The envoy's enthusiastic attitude made Linde a little puzzled. Could it be that he was an illegitimate child of the royal family who was stranded outside? The original owner's memory did not mention this matter. Why was the envoy from the royal capital so enthusiastic?

"Your Excellency the Envoy, please be frank. I still need to lead my subjects to find a place where they can settle down."

The envoy of the royal capital clapped his hands and said directly: "Oh, isn't this a coincidence? Your Excellency, I came here to give you the territory."

Lin De was shocked when he heard this. Could it be that he was really the illegitimate son of the royal family? It was impossible.

Then Linde saw the royal envoy take out a scroll from his arms and said to Linde: "Your Excellency, I have good news. Can you guess what it is?"

"Is it because I suddenly have a father whom I have never met?"

The messenger smiled and shook his head.

"Is it that I have a title that I will inherit in the capital?"

The messenger still shook his head with a professional smile.

"That is?"

Linde suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Congratulations, Viscount Linde Roll. With the unanimous decision of Lady Saint and Grand Duke Lars, you will be the grandson-in-law of the Lars family."

The messenger then slowly opened the scroll in his hand, and it turned out to be a marriage certificate.

And the name of Lind's fiancée was clearly written as Lena Lars.

"What? I'm marrying Reina? Is that true?"

Lind almost vomited blood. He was the unlucky border noble at the end of the game?

The Royal Capital envoy at the side was still comforting Lin De and said: "Don't be nervous, it's normal to feel dizzy, take a deep breath."

I call you Lao Mu!

Although Lin De wanted to say this, he still showed a smile that was uglier than crying and asked, "Mr. Envoy, do we have to dissolve this marriage?"

It's not that this Reina Lars is extremely ugly. To be chosen as the prince's consort, her appearance must be impeccable. It's just that in the later talks in the game, it was mentioned that Reina Lars was dissatisfied with the royal family, so she forced her unlucky husband to rebel, and in the end her whole family was beheaded.

For Linde now, it is basically the same as being sentenced to suspended death sentence.

The envoy's expression suddenly became serious, and he said to Linde in a threatening tone: "Viscount Linde, that is the granddaughter of Grand Duke Lars. Have you thought about the consequences of refusing?"

In fact, the messenger was also a little nervous. Reina's reputation in the royal capital was already ruined. Shrew and jealous woman were just mild insults. The most common name was the shame of the nobility. This title alone was enough to sentence Reina's reputation among the nobles to death.

After the decision to marry her was made, most of the nobles in the royal capital avoided her.

The nobles in the North tried to hide as far away as possible, and even those young men in the North who were of marriageable age had engagements overnight because there were not enough noble ladies. There were even many men eloping.

The current situation in the North is very complicated, and the attitude of the Northern nobles towards Reina is even more extreme than that of the nobles in the royal capital.

Therefore, the messenger is also anxious to complete the mission, but it is not easy to find a sucker willing to take the blame.

But Lind's attitude made the envoy from the royal capital suspect that this noble who had fled to the border had also heard some news, which made the envoy even more anxious.

Looking at the subjects who were looking over here not far from Linde, the envoy suddenly had an idea. He pointed at the treaty on the marriage certificate and shouted, "My Lord Viscount, you must think it over carefully. If you refuse, the new territory given by Grand Duke Lars will be gone, and you and your subjects will have to wander like this forever."

"My Lord Viscount, you don't want your people to continue to starve and wander, do you?"

Although he wanted to advise this envoy, who might be from an island country, to exercise some restraint, Linde still carefully read the treaty on the marriage certificate.

In the treaty, Grand Duke Lars did clearly state that he would give his grandson-in-law a large piece of territory. Although it was uncultivated wasteland, it was fertile land with abundant water and grass.

Were these really given to Lind? No, because Grand Duke Lars specifically noted that although Lind was the nominal lord, the gifted territory was jointly managed by Lind and Reina.

What a joint management! Linde despised it in his heart. The treaty said it was joint management, but wouldn't it be easy for Lena Lars, the granddaughter of the Grand Duke, to control an outsider son-in-law? This was just a disguised gift of land to his granddaughter through the treaty.

But the subjects behind Linde all looked at Linde with eager eyes. As long as their lord nodded, everyone would be able to settle down peacefully in the new territory. What's more, that was Grand Duke Lars. In the hearts of these northern common people, he was a noble greater than the emperor. The emperor had no control over northern affairs, but Grand Duke Lars could. What reason did their lord have to refuse?

Linde knew that he was being morally kidnapped, but after taking a deep breath, he said solemnly: "Okay, Mr. Envoy, I will sign the marriage certificate, but I have one request. Our food is almost gone. I hope you can provide enough food so that my people can follow me to the new territory smoothly."

"No problem, of course no problem."

The messenger excitedly handed the marriage certificate to Lind.

"These knights will also escort you and your subjects to the new territory gifted by Grand Duke Lars."

Lind's request was no problem for the envoy. The cost of a meal from any noble who met him along the way was enough to make the people behind Lind vomit.

The envoy was secretly glad that his guess was correct. A noble who could escape with his people must have a relatively high moral standard. This kind of noble is the easiest to deal with.

Hearing the cheers from the people and border troops behind him, Lind suddenly felt that marrying Lena Lars was no big deal. At least he had solved the current crisis, even though it was almost like selling himself out.

Then Lind began to read the marriage certificate carefully.

"What? I'm not even a son-in-law?"

Lind saw at the bottom of the marriage certificate that after the marriage, Rena would actually change her last name and would have nothing to do with the Lars family from then on. No wonder the Lars family didn't react at all when they talked about Rena rebelling against the Lars family in the future.

"Of course, Your Excellency, what are you thinking about? This is a marriage of down-marriage, not a marriage of inheritance."

The messenger looked at Linde in confusion. Although son-in-law is very common in this world, after all, women also have the right of inheritance, but not many people want to be a son-in-law.

Linde closed the marriage certificate helplessly. Well, it seemed that he would no longer be able to smile crookedly when the Lars family shouted, "Oh no, the son-in-law of the Lars family is biting the master."

Although he was not a son-in-law in name, according to the treaty, Lind's actual status after marrying Lena was not much different from that of a son-in-law. It has to be said that Grand Duke Lars inadvertently solved the eternal problem of the son-in-law devouring his master in novels.
