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

Before Queen Lilith became famous, the Dorian family in the East was just a small, unknown family guarding the Oregon region, much like his main family, the Rawl family, which was now only left with Linde as the only descendant.

Of course, the Dorian family was much better off than the Rawl family at that time. At least they did not have to suffer from the border war.

Although they are descendants of the old empire, the Dorian family is extremely low-key, and Coint has been cautious all his life, especially after his youngest daughter became king, the Dorian family almost stopped all activities.

Many people don’t even know that the current Queen Lilith has two brothers in the East. In order not to cause trouble to Lilith who has become the Queen, these two brothers even canceled their original weddings and are still single until now.

"Father, the black rain curtain in the Basil area has become much smaller, but it seems that there is no sign of stopping."

Lilith's biological elder brother in this world, Bernard, was wearing armor made of fine steel and reporting to old Coent.

"And we have lost all contact with the Basil area... Not only the Basil area, but also any place that the rain curtain has reached, no information has been transmitted, and no knight dares to rashly set foot in those areas."

Old Coent saw the resentment in his eldest son's eyes and shook his head, saying, "Barnard, don't blame those knights. This black rain is too strange. A smart knight would not rashly step into a trap without knowing it."

But then, old Coent sighed again: "What's more, even if there are knights who are brave enough to go to those areas to check the situation, they can't get out now..."

Isolated by the rain, town after town lost contact with the outside world, and corrupted monsters continued to emerge from the rain.

Even the bravest knight would feel an inexplicable fear when seeing those monsters emitting a rotten smell and making strange moans.

Of course, this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is that although the rain in the Basil area is gradually getting smaller, black fog is gradually floating around the Basil area, including Oregon where the Dorian family is located.

Although the black fog will not directly transform people into rotten monsters like the rain curtain, it will gradually corrode the human body. Sometimes, watching yourself gradually turn into a monster is more terrifying than directly turning into a monster.

Old Cointe asked everyone to add a scarf inside their helmets to cover their mouths and noses. Old Cointe didn't know if this would work, but even if it was just psychological comfort, at least the scarf could give the knights the courage to fight.

The Oregon area has been surrounded by monsters. There are simply too many of them, and they are getting more and more ferocious. Ordinary people might be able to escape from the monsters at first, but now ordinary people are completely unable to fight against them, and they can't even escape. The monsters seem tireless, corroding all living things.

Old Cointe opened the gate of Dorian Castle almost immediately to let the people escape in, but now, the towering city walls seemed to have become a birdcage that trapped the people.

Some ordinary citizens have begun to transform into monsters. Under their constant pleas, the knights have no choice but to kill with their own hands the very citizens they once swore to protect.

Even though old Coint tried every possible means, he was unable to stop the spread of despair in the castle.

The black fog also seems to be able to sense human emotions. The more desperate people are, the thicker the black fog becomes. Even desperate people seem to turn into monsters faster.

Not only that, the dilapidated gate of Dorian Castle could no longer withstand the corrosion of the monsters, and now the knights were exhausted just from guarding the gate.

Not to mention the subjects, even the knights were on the verge of collapse.

"Barnard, is the black fog still spreading?"

Old Coent seemed to have made up his mind and looked at his eldest son.

"Yes, father... and it is spreading towards the central region and the royal capital..."

"You must tell your sister...and His Majesty the information here."

Old Coent took out two letters from his arms, handed one to Barnard, and for the other, he looked at his youngest son Harold.

Lilith's second brother was frightened by his father's eyes and stepped back.

"Harold, take this letter and rush to the North. Bring the intelligence here to the Governor of the North. Do you understand?"

Old Cointe actually had selfish motives. Oregon was closer to the North, and he also planned to break out towards the North. In any case, the possibility of survival was greater if he headed towards the North.

Bernard had no objection and just took the letter in silence. The journey to the royal capital would almost require going through black fog all the way, so the danger was self-evident.

Harold took the letter after some hesitation and asked, "Father, what about you?"

Old Coent ignored his youngest son's question and asked a knight beside him: "How many professionals, soldiers, and people do we have left?"

The knight said, "Sir, there are still sixteen professionals, two hundred soldiers, and more than a thousand people."

This number of armed knights is actually a lot for a noble of old Coent's level. After all, before the rise of the gray-collar workers, the nobles had always adhered to the militia system. There were no professional soldiers in the territory except for professionals, and they had as many young and strong people as possible.

This was a special arrangement that Lilith prepared for her family. Originally, they had more armed forces and even muskets, but they were all rejected by Coent.

But it's not that he regrets it. Old Coent understands that the more the Dorian family demands, the more difficult it will be for his youngest daughter in the capital.

"Distribute all the weapons in the castle to the people. It's time for us to serve His Majesty."

Bernard had never seen his father with such an expression. Ever since his marriage was turned down, Bernard had always been dissatisfied with his father. But at this moment, his father's expression was somewhat resolute, as if he was completely different from the honest man who could only smile awkwardly when bullied by the surrounding nobles.

Soon, old Cointe's order was carried out, and weapons were distributed to the people who took refuge in the castle.

At first, no one paid attention to the black rain and fog in the distance. When old Coint saw the monster, he placed the people in the castle, which was considered responsible.

But now, Old Cointe must find a way to pass on the information here. Old Cointe doesn't think that even if he doesn't go to pass on the message, someone will definitely go. Old Cointe knows what kind of guys those nobles are.

But when the already tattered door was opened, the scene outside was still despairing. At a glance, there were only rotten monsters. Old Coent couldn't even tell whether the black pool of liquid on the ground was a monster or a black quagmire formed by the accumulation of black fog.

Even the knights and professionals in the front retreated in fear, believing that a short pain is worse than a long one, but certainly no one wanted to die now.

When his youngest daughter became the future princess, old Coint began to walk on thin ice. After his youngest daughter became the queen, old Coint even dared not breathe a word. When he was troubled by the people in the royal capital, he never mentioned it to Lilith.

But now, old Coent took a long breath, and began to become full of vigor and vitality. He drew his sword and shouted: "There are no cowards in Oregon! Tell my daughter that her father is not a coward!"

Old Cointe's tone seemed to be venting the frustration of these years, and also for the sake of his little daughter who was far away in the royal capital, he rushed out first. Just as old Cointe thought, some things must be done by someone, and you can't expect that others will do it if you don't do it. To put it bluntly, those nobles will only choose the most conservative escape route in this situation, and will not be loyal to the queen at all.

Even old Cointe himself might not do it, but the person sitting in that position is his daughter, so old Cointe must pass on the information here. This is not because of his duty as a subject, but because of his responsibility as a father.

The people didn't know what Coint was feeling at the moment, but among the nobles in the East, the Dorian family was very kind to the people.

Watching the old lord rushing out, the people's trust in the old lord overcame their fear for a moment. They all waved their weapons, followed the old lord with their legs, and rushed out in unison.

The knights and professionals who were originally cowering gritted their teeth, swung the reins, and roared: "There are no cowards in Oregon!"
