Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?
Chapter 258 Now that things have come to this, let’s have a meeting first
Although she could already imagine the scene of Lilith being backlashed by public opinion, the corners of Claire's mouth even began to twitch.
But Claire knew that she couldn't laugh yet. She had to continue to play the role of a good princess who cared about her country and her people, and Lilith's best friend.
So when she greeted Lilith, Claire suppressed her emotions and said with a melancholy face, "Your Majesty, I don't know who has started this rumor in the capital recently. There are rumors that the North wants to cooperate with us."
After all, the information Claire received was that the talks were not going well.
But Lilith smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. We will indeed have some cooperation with the North in the future. If the people are happy, we should also support it. Later, I will make the specific treaty of the talks public to all the people."
Claire was stunned for a moment, looking a little flustered, mainly because she didn't know what Lilith was planning. She asked, "Your Majesty, this is not good, right? How can such an important matter as the treaty of the negotiations be made public at will? It will cause chaos."
Originally Claire thought that Lilith would cover up and hide the true treaty, but she didn't expect that Lilith would just self-destruct.
Lilith waved her hand, looked at the nobles who came to greet her and said, "It just so happens that everyone is here now. In that case, let's take advantage of this moment and go directly back to the palace to start the round table meeting."
Lilith had already guessed that someone was behind the scenes, so she simply took advantage of the fact that no one could react and caught these nobles off guard.
When they heard that Her Majesty the Queen wanted to hold a meeting directly, the nobles from both the New and Old Parties looked at each other in bewilderment. However, they all wanted to know the specific situation in the North, so they did not object and followed Lilith into the palace in a daze.
There are many nobles in the royal capital who represent the interests of the nobles in the central region. Now some nobles in the central region are physically sandwiched between the royal capital and the northern border, so these nobles really need to confirm the latest policies of the royal capital and the northern border very urgently.
As the convoy moved forward, Claire immediately noticed something was wrong. The knights around Lilith had all changed into new equipment from the North, and the North Wind Bear logo on many of the equipment had not yet been replaced.
Claire suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
Amid the anxiety of the nobles, Lilith sat on the very familiar throne.
After the other nobles had taken their seats, Lilith took the lead and spoke:
"During this trip to the North, we had a friendly and in-depth exchange with the Governor of the North and reached an important consensus on the Kingdom's border security and resource sharing."
"First of all, the weapons assistance is what everyone is most concerned about."
"Sir Judith, please demonstrate the North's fusion-cutting weapons."
Following Lilith's command, Judith stood up and drew out the sword at her waist, turned on the switch, and the sword began to emit a faint fluorescence, and then the orange-red light gradually enveloped the sword.
Judith slowly walked to a relatively empty area in the conference room, performed a sword dance with the Melting Sword, and asked, "Is anyone willing to try it?"
Scott immediately stood up and said, "I'll do it!"
Scott and Judith were the ones who cared the most about this batch of equipment, so Scott immediately couldn't wait to pull out an ordinary weapon from the waist of the guard beside him and chopped directly at Judith.
With just one strike, the guard sword broke into two pieces, with a trace of hot steam coming out of the broken surface.
Scott's eyes lit up, the molten spears mentioned in the treaty were probably as powerful as the molten swords, and a knight equipped with these weapons could be considered victorious as long as he charged into the enemy's formation.
The ray gun was too dangerous, so Lilith didn't plan to demonstrate it in the conference room, but Judith gave Scott a look, and Scott immediately understood the importance of the ray gun.
The weapons of the palace guards were all purchased by Claire herself, without any cutting corners. Although she had already learned about the power of the Melting Sword from intelligence, Claire was still shocked when she saw it with her own eyes. No wonder the lantern dream persuaded her not to become its enemy.
The nobles in the conference room also swallowed their saliva. Although they knew the battle report of the decisive battle between the North and the demons, it was only when they saw these weapons with their own eyes that these nobles truly realized how powerful the North was.
So what would it take for the North to sell such a powerful weapon to the capital?
I guess it will cost a lot, right?
Nora looked at these nobles and slowly began to read out the arms aid treaty that had been revised by Lind.
When they heard that they wanted to exchange population, many people frowned, especially Marcel, the leader of the old party.
An important part of the Old Party is composed of the landed lords and nobles in the central region. Is Her Majesty the Queen going to relocate the population from those noble territories?
This won't do. A nobleman who only has land but no population is just a commander without troops, right?
Seeing people in the old party constantly suggesting so, Marcel immediately interrupted and said, "Your Majesty, these people should come from the two southwestern borders. After all, these weapons are to be shipped to the southwestern border, so it is reasonable for the two grand dukes in the southwest to be in charge."
Scott immediately objected, "But Sir Marcel, our two southwestern territories are already short of population due to the war. If Anjou attacks, will you nobles in the central region resist? Moreover, the cost of moving the southwestern population to the northern territories is even more expensive. It is totally uneconomical."
Scott glanced at Judith, but Judith remained unmoved and had no intention of joining in.
Marcel had not really intended to send people out from the southwestern border, but if Her Majesty the Queen really intended to do so, Marcel would have to get more benefits from the two southwestern borders as compensation.
"about this."
Nora interrupted the quarrel between Marcel and Scott and said, "The Governor of the Northern Territory has already considered this. The population moving to the territories in the North can obtain trade certificates with the North."
Afterwards, Nora slowly explained the functions and details of the trade voucher. The nobles present opened their mouths wider as they listened. What the hell, the Governor of the Northern Territory actually planned to cooperate with the capital? Would he really give the capital a share?
These nobles had no concept of productivity and did not want to move the population in their territories. They only knew that these people could produce food and resources, but what if they could gain more wealth by sending these people away? Then these inferior populations would immediately become a burden to these nobles.
Farming is not as profitable as doing business, and trade in the North is a sure-win business. The goods from the North have basically been hyped up to the sky in the capital. Not only in the capital, if there is the ability to transport these goods to places farther away from the North, the price can be doubled.
Claire's eyes widened. What kind of magic potion did her best friend feed the Northern Governor? Forget about such generous conditions. The treaty also clearly stated that the Northern Governor did not care where the population came from, but the number of trade certificates was limited, and it was up to Her Majesty the Queen to decide which nobles to issue them to.
Did the governor really get kicked in the head by a donkey?
The meeting gradually began to get out of control.
