Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?
Chapter 257 Public Opinion
On the way back, Nora repeatedly checked the treaty signed with the North. Every copy of the treaty was torn apart by Nora. She even lit an oil lamp and checked it over and over again when she was resting at night.
Most of the treaties have been changed beyond recognition, but they are all for the better. The original situation where the North unilaterally exploited the capital has been changed to a situation where the North and the capital work together for mutual benefit.
However, how the royal capital wins and who wins is all decided by His Majesty.
To be honest, there are traps hidden in these treaties. The large-scale population migration and relaxation of population movement restrictions stipulated in the treaties can easily cause a large-scale population loss in the territories close to the northern border.
However, compared with the benefits brought by these treaties, this loss can be completely ignored. After all, it is impossible to expect that the Governor of the Northern Territory is doing charity and really does not take a penny.
Nora couldn't understand why the Northern Governor's attitude suddenly changed drastically, but in the end she gave up thinking about it. At least it showed that the Northern Governor now also supported Her Majesty the Queen.
At this time, Lilith's guards had already changed their weapons, and after the negotiations, they stayed at the checkpoint to receive simple training. Now they can skillfully use the melting sword and ray gun.
The guards who got the new weapons even had a different mental outlook, especially the noble knights. Their eyes were shining all the way, and they wished that some blind person would attack Her Majesty the Queen.
Unfortunately, the convoy returned to the royal capital smoothly, and the gates of the royal capital were wide open, with no signs of a coup at all.
Lilith's carriage slowly drove into the city gate. The wide streets were already crowded with enthusiastic people, waving flags and cheering. Women and children stood in the front row, holding flowers in their hands and throwing them to the convoy. Men excitedly raised their fists and shouted "Her Majesty the Queen".
Even the knights around Lilith seemed to be deeply infected. Although they were still able to maintain their formation, many bold knights were already waving in greeting.
However, Lilith, who was in the carriage, felt a little strange when looking at the lively scene outside the window.
The news of what was discussed in the negotiations should not have been reported back to the capital yet.
After all, the royal capital is now a trap waiting for someone to step into it. In order to lure out the hidden guys, Lilith has transferred all her main forces in the royal capital, hoping that something will happen in the royal capital so that Lilith will have a reason to launch a purge.
Therefore, no matter how the talks with the North go, the results will not be reported back to the capital. Lilith even controlled the people around her, causing some officials who were in contact with the capital to report bad news but not good news. The capital should be very pessimistic as a whole right now.
Lilith, who realized something was wrong, calmed down and listened carefully to the people's voices. She found that most of them were praising Her Majesty the Queen for negotiating many very favorable conditions and policies with the North, and that the glory of the capital would be restored soon!
At first, Lilith was stunned, wondering who leaked the news.
But when Lilith looked carefully at the street, she found that even the swill garbage outside every household in the outer city had been cleaned up, which showed that someone had organized this welcome ceremony.
Listening to the beautiful policies that people talk about, they are very unrealistic. For example, the North will provide weapons for free, the North has completely surrendered to the Queen, the North will open up trade, etc. It is obvious that someone is leading the trend.
To put it simply, it is flattery, putting Lilith on a high pedestal. If Lilith cannot come up with policies that meet the expectations of the people, it will be a major blow to Lilith's popularity anyway.
In a sense, Lilith's passing of false information to the royal capital was not completely useless. Although the enemies in the dark were very careful, they were still a little impatient.
Lilith, who had figured it out, decided to take advantage of the situation. After a brief communication with Judith, she took protective measures, walked out of the carriage, and continued to wave to the crowd on the small platform in front of the carriage.
Those who wanted to praise Lilith to death probably never dreamed that Lilith actually negotiated a similar treaty with the North.
Seeing Lilith's response, the crowd, who had been led by the rhythm, became even more fanatical. After all, according to rumors that came from nowhere, the North has completely surrendered to His Majesty and will cooperate with the capital in the future. Life in the capital will get better and better.
Even some small and medium-sized nobles were misled and took to the streets to welcome Her Majesty the Queen who returned victoriously.
When the people saw that the nobles had come forward, how could it be fake? After all, the people could not distinguish between the big, medium and small nobles. They just thought that if the nobles believed it was true, it must be true. Could anyone dare to deceive the nobles?
As for the church, the old Pope has actually reacted. He keeps asking the monks and nuns of the church to emphasize to the believers that the North is no longer what it used to be, and asks the believers to lower their expectations.
But unfortunately, this is just a drop in the bucket for the public opinion in the entire royal capital. Even though the church has repeatedly emphasized it, there are still people who hope from the bottom of their hearts that this is true.
At this time, Lilith's carriage finally drove into the inner city. Compared with the outer city, the welcome in the inner city was much more solemn. Claire, on behalf of the Augustine family, welcomed Lilith back to her loyal capital.
Glancing at the people in the outer city who were already opening bottles of champagne and were extremely enthusiastic, Claire couldn't help but sigh that the Demon King of the Demon Tribe was indeed an expert in manipulating public opinion, and he had used such a simple method to frame Her Majesty the Queen.
Lilith couldn't even trace the source of the rumor. After all, no matter what, the rumor was about the capital and the good of the kingdom. It was just that someone "accidentally" took this beautiful vision as true. Who could be blamed?
It was so vicious that Claire became even more wary of this devil. When she ascended the throne in the future, she would definitely control speech.
As for whether the North would really discuss cooperation with Lilith in a friendly manner, that would be a problem unless the governor of the North had been kicked in the head by a donkey.
It can be seen from the actions of the previous governor that while seeking stability, they also pursue maximization of interests, and a half-dead royal capital is in the interests of the other party.
The nobles who followed Claire to welcome Lilith in the inner city were much calmer, and even had some pessimism on their faces, especially the nobles of the New Party. After all, they had received the news released by Lilith.
And no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for the governor of the North to really cooperate so deeply with the royal capital, unless the governor's head was really kicked by a donkey.
