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

When the girl in front of him claimed to be the missing princess Claire, Paul felt his heart skip a beat.

But after taking a closer look at the girl's face and temperament, Paul soon believed it. He had lived in the royal capital for a long time and had the honor of meeting Claire from afar when Her Majesty the Queen attended an event.

But what followed were more doubts. Why would the missing princess appear in the outer city area and be hunted by someone?

"Don't you believe it?"

Seeing Claire's tearful eyes, Paul immediately knelt down and said, "No, I believe it, but Your Highness, weren't you missing? How come you are still in the outer city and being hunted by someone?"

Claire helped Paul up and said, "I'm not a princess anymore. You can just call me Claire."

"That's a long story."

Claire took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped her tears while saying, "I was hunted down by the current emperor."

Upon hearing this, Paul felt like his brain was short-circuiting. Paul had no preconceived notion about Claire, but the current emperor's reputation was indeed very good, which made Paul a little unbelievable for a moment. Sure enough, as Claire said, just knowing about this matter was risky.

"See, I knew no one would believe me..."

Looking at the weak Claire, Paul immediately said, "Your Highness, I am naturally willing to believe you, but what exactly happened?"

There were tears in Claire's eyes, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her whole body seemed to be curled up because of nervousness, giving people a feeling of fragility and helplessness.

"My friend, my sister-in-law, my majesty, she deceived everyone."

There was a barely perceptible hint of pride in Claire's eyes, and she seemed very satisfied with her acting skills so far.

"She is the instigator of everything. She killed my father and murdered my brother Kelan."

When she said this, Claire was already crying, which made Paul stunned.

Your Majesty killed your father-in-law and your husband?

"My father and brother died in strange circumstances, so I have been secretly investigating. I didn't expect to trace the cause to Your Majesty. I wanted to confront Your Majesty face to face, but I didn't expect Your Majesty to want to take my life directly."

With just a few words, Claire portrayed Lilith as unscrupulous, sinister and vicious, while Claire herself was fearless and even a little stupid. After finding the clue, she actually confronted Lilith. This in turn aroused Paul's desire to protect her even more, and even made Paul feel more credible.

"Fortunately, I had the protection of my family, so I finally escaped from the palace. I didn't expect that His Majesty would still be relentless and keep hunting me down. I had already escaped, but recently His Majesty colluded with the North and the demons to overthrow our country. I had to stop His Majesty."

"I didn't expect to be discovered by His Majesty not long after arriving in the capital. Fortunately, you were there so I could escape the pursuit."

Conspiracy. Paul felt a huge vortex of conspiracy from Claire's words, and he would be shattered if he was not careful.

But is there any story more epic than the story of a princess's revenge?

However, there were some flaws in Claire's words. Paul asked, "But your majesty is also a saint, and can even use the Holy Word. Could it be that the goddess has also been deceived by your majesty?"

"No, that's all lies."

Claire was well prepared and said, "Your Majesty, that was a play that Lilith put on to consolidate her position. Otherwise, how could that ordinary couple have passed through so many obstacles and come before Your Majesty?"

Claire asked Paul to think carefully, but in fact she was guiding Paul to imagine the situation Claire described herself: "And your majesty's divine arts have always been poor, and everyone in the capital knows it. But why did she suddenly learn the Holy Word? This was all carefully planned by your majesty and some fallen people in the church. They even cursed innocent children to make it look more real."

After saying that, Claire began to lower her eyes again. It was unclear whether she was praying for the innocent child or crying, as if Claire was the saint who was concerned about the country and the people.

After hearing this, Paul thought more and more that it made sense, and became more and more furious. He had never expected that the current emperor would be such a person, with such deep scheming.

"What about the collusion between the North and the demons?"

Paul has completely believed Claire's words and is ready to devote himself to the story of the princess's revenge.

Seeing Paul with a look of concern for the country and the people, Claire couldn't help but grin and took the bait.

It was worth it that I sent out so many spies and observed so many adventurers. I finally found a fool who was both powerful and influential.

But you can't laugh now, Claire, you can't laugh out loud yet, at least you have to wait until you pull your best friend's short legs down from the throne with your own hands.

"After I escaped from the capital, I investigated the Queen's hometown and found out that the Queen and the Northern Governor had known each other for a long time. It was the evil cult Lantern Dream that killed my father. The Lantern Dream has now appeared in the North and has been taken in by the Northern Governor. Lilith, she is even too lazy to hide it now."

Claire's tone was fluctuating, and she was trying hard to hold back her laughter, but to Paul it sounded like Claire was crying because she couldn't bear the fact that her father was killed by Lilith.

Paul immediately began brainstorming. He had only heard people occasionally mention this matter in the Adventurer's Guild, but now that everything was connected, Paul began to think that he had grasped the truth and believed in what Claire said.

"Not only that, Lilith has secretly colluded with the demons. The Eastern Territory has already fallen. Next, Lilith is going to sell the entire central region and the capital to the demons!"

Her Majesty the Queen is selling out the country! ?

Paul was somewhat confused and doubtful, and he became angrier and angrier the more he thought about it. He never expected that Her Majesty the Queen, whom he once wanted to serve, was such a scumbag.

"Paul, will you be my sword and my shield?"

At this moment, Claire extended the invitation. Paul's anger instantly turned into excitement. His chest rose and fell violently. He knelt on one knee and said excitedly, "Your Highness, I am willing to be your sharp blade, your strong shield, and your last knight. I will swear to protect you with my life."

Claire stood in front of Paul, gently helped him up, and said, "Get up, my knight, we will fight for this kingdom."

Paul stood up with Claire's gentle strength, completely unaware of the calculations and lies behind this gentleness.

"For this kingdom, I need you and the strength of those adventurers. Find some reliable adventurers. We have to save this kingdom!"

After hearing Claire say this, Paul felt that his dream had come true, and he immediately nodded and did as she said.

After Paul left, Claire said to the people behind her, "Pass on what I just said."

The secret guard behind Claire took the order and left.
