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

After contacting Lantern Dream, Lind began to deal with the piles of letters.

In addition to sending the letter, the queen of the royal capital also sent a messenger, but Lind had not returned to Gray Collar yet, so only the letter was delivered here first.

The letter first praised Lind highly for defeating the demons and resisting the monsters, but the flattery was a bit dry. It could be seen that it was written by Her Majesty the Queen herself, and Her Majesty the Queen was not very good at flattering people.

But Linde didn't care much. Not having so many polite words actually saved Linde a lot of time. Later, Linde was asked to participate in the enthronement ceremony. The royal capital has already decided that you will be the Grand Duke of the North.

In a way, this was also the king's official announcement that the battle for succession to the North was over. From now on, Lind would be the appointed ruler of the North. However, the king was not seen throughout the whole process, and only came out to present awards to the winner after the battle, acting like a condescending judge.

It was as if Lind, the ruler, still needed the approval of the royal capital.

But Lind could also understand that although Lind did not need the king to endorse the legitimacy of his rule, the king had to recite this letter in person to send a signal that the North still belonged to the king.

Even though everyone knew that Wang was deceiving himself.

But the main information of this letter is not this, but the negotiations attached to the so-called investiture ceremony. In the words of the letter, Lind, as the new Grand Duke of the North, needs to meet Her Majesty the Queen.

It can be seen that Her Majesty the Queen is very self-aware and did not even ask Lind to swear allegiance to the Queen.

There was no need for Lind to even go to the royal capital in person. The time traveler probably understood that Lind would never go to such an obvious Hongmen Banquet, so he specially chose a place where the northern border and the central area meet. It can be said that he was very sincere.

Linde thought about it and felt that it was indeed necessary to meet him. After all, Linde needed to give the time traveler some clues and then see his attitude. If he was not sensible, Linde had better prepare early.

However, the position of Grand Duke was abandoned. Linde has always downplayed the influence of nobility and titles, so how could he take the initiative to accept the title given by the king?

So Lind wrote clearly in his reply that he would not become the Grand Duke of the North, as this was against etiquette. As for what etiquette it was, someone would come to make up for Lind.

As for talking, of course it's possible. The North is actually quite weak now, and the main reason is that Doug has sacrificed all the people. If the demons are really ruthless at this time and join the East and the capital in attacking, although they may not lose, farming will definitely be affected. Linde is not sure that he can completely control the battlefield outside the North, so Linde doesn't want to fight next time.

Although Lind also knew that the capital was still undergoing reforms, even if there was money, it was all circulating in the capital chain, and it was a problem how much cash could be taken out, and it was difficult to have any large-scale trade with the current North.

Although the royal capital has no money, it has people. The central region still has sufficient labor. If there is no money, then use people to pay off the debts.

As long as the king is willing to cooperate in large-scale immigration, then the new weapons and the like that Her Majesty the Queen hinted at in the letter can be discussed.

As for the details, we will have to wait until we meet to discuss it in detail. Lind thought about it and realized that the officials from the gray-collar side had also arrived one after another. It was almost time for him to go back. After he finished awarding medals to the soldiers, he would go and meet the queen of time travel.

After handing the reply to Lucanus, Lind casually flipped through the other subsequent letters. He could only say that although the capital was well hidden, the overall decline of the Capetian Kingdom could no longer be concealed, and many small and medium-sized nobles from other places began to write to Lind.

None of them came to conspire with Linde for big things. Most of them just came to make themselves known. These small and medium-sized nobles were much better at flattering than Her Majesty the Queen, but they did not have much useful information.

These small and medium-sized nobles probably had not heard of the detailed system in the Linde territory, or even if they had heard of it, they did not understand it. They thought that it would be the same as in the past. If something unexpected really happened, they would just have a different person to call the king, and they could still stay on their own land and continue to collect rent, so they still placed bets everywhere as usual.

Lind put these meaningless letters aside. No wonder the ancient emperors needed to find a bunch of secretaries for themselves, and even set up an institution to train secretaries for themselves. In the future, there will be more and more such meaningless letters. Even if Lind is a workaholic, it is impossible for him to read them all carefully.

After simply filtering out these meaningless letters, Lind picked up the letter sent by the King of Anjou. It was more like a diplomatic letter than a letter. At least the envelope alone stood out among the pile of letters.

Although the envelopes of those other meaningless letters were quite fancy, with gold edges, colorful paintings, and feathers of unknown meaning, they were far less substantial than this letter.

It was wrapped in plain parchment with the Angevin royal seal printed on golden beeswax, and the outer layer was wrapped in brocade. There was no special ornate decoration, but it looked more valuable than those messy letters, even than the letters from the royal capital.

The content of the letter was also very formal. If the letter was written by Her Majesty the Queen of the royal capital herself, but the writing style was a little immature and even the flattery was not good enough, this letter perfectly reflected Alberto's work ability.

Unlike the previous provocative letter, Alberto's attitude this time was humble yet kingly, and he put Lind in the same position as himself, that is, the king of a country.

Unlike Wang Du who could only hint cautiously at everything he did, Alberto directly began to analyze the current situation on the continent in his letter, and believed that both Lind and himself should follow the principle of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones, and engage in technical cooperation. He also did not hide his ambition to share Capet with Lind.

Unlike the penniless kings, Alberto was rich. As one of the most powerful and frugal kings in Anjou's history, the wealth accumulated by Alberto and his family was unimaginable. It could be seen from the fact that he had to pay a high price to buy firearms from Doug for research that money was just a consumable for Alberto to achieve his goals.

Not only that, Alberto also took the lead in acknowledging Linde's identity as a descendant of the old empire, and stated that there were many relics of the old empire in Anjou. As long as technical cooperation could be carried out, Anjou would not only be willing to spend a lot of money, but also allow Linde to send people to Anjou for archaeological research.

Faced with Alberto's friendly attitude and willingness to spend money, Lind changed his previous style and prepared to write a reply letter to Alberto with the same attitude. Even if the two sides had ridiculed each other harshly before, once the situation changed, they could still pretend that nothing had happened and talk about cooperation.
