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

The banquet was held in a gray and white palace.

Although it is called a palace, it is actually a small villa that is still under construction. Even the shovels and wheelbarrows used for construction outside have not been moved away yet.

But for Claire, it was still shocking enough. After all, when she came, Claire was already prepared for a bonfire party in the wild.

When Lena went to the Gray Collar, Claire saw her off in person. There were only about 200 craftsmen and knights, but in just a few months it had developed to the scale of a viscount's territory.

At this simple banquet, Claire kept asking Lena in a roundabout way, wanting to ask her how she had developed the territory into what it is today.

Reina also cooperated very well and said whatever she wanted to say, just as stupidly as when she was in the royal capital, but every time when Reina was about to reveal key information, the fiancé next to her would always cleverly block all the questions for Reina.

Although no useful information was obtained, even a fool could see that the development of the territory was all managed by Lena's new fiancé Lind.

Moreover, this fiancé seemed to be very wary of her. Although he was not hostile, he was definitely cautious, which made Claire very unhappy.

Claire was already very unhappy after she had finally broken off the engagement between Reina and her brother, but Reina was arranged to have a new fiancé. It turned out that this fiancé not only seemed to have a good relationship with Reina, but was also a smart man who was not easy to fool, which made Claire even more unhappy.

However, Reina is the granddaughter of a grandduke after all, and it is not easy to get Reina. Claire had made this decision at the beginning of the plan.

When she first met Reina in the royal capital, Claire was deeply attracted by her tight skin, clear eyes, perfect figure and the natural heroic spirit of the Lars family. When she thought about such a noble female knight begging for mercy in front of her, Claire squeezed her legs together.

When Reina asked about the current situation in the capital, Claire answered, "The capital is not peaceful right now, but I think my brother and father miss Miss Lars. Why don't you come back to the capital with me this time? I will say a few good words to my father, and even if I can't restore your previous identity, you can stay in the capital."

This sentence completely treated Linde, who was Reina's fiancé, as a transparent person, which made Linde frown.

Not to mention that Claire is so arrogant that she doesn't take her current partner seriously at all. If Lena leaves, the Lars family's support for the gray-collar workers may be directly cut off, which is something Linde cannot accept at all.

Moreover, it is better to believe that Rena is really Qin Shi Huang than to believe that the Fourth Prince and Augustine III will change their minds. After returning to the capital, won't Rena still let Claire manipulate her?

But Reina was very moved when she heard it. After all, Claire had been brainwashing Reina constantly in the royal capital, saying that it was forced by the situation, that the new saint had bewitched Clan and the old king, and that as long as Reina returned to the royal capital, she would be able to return like lightning and take back everything she had, just like the scripts of those stage plays.

However, after a moment of excitement, Lena looked at Linde beside her with a worried face. She frowned slightly at her good brother, obviously unhappy, and finally made up her mind.

"Your Highness, I appreciate your kindness, but I still hope to return to the capital on my own."

The so-called relying on one's own strength is naturally what Lena said to Linde at the beginning, that is, to return to the royal capital legitimately by becoming the heir of the Lars family.

"But Miss Lars, don't you want to know who framed you in the first place?"

Claire said the most shocking words to Reina in the calmest tone.

"Your Highness, have we investigated what happened that night? Is there finally evidence to prove that someone was trying to frame me?"

Lena stood up excitedly, and even Linde beside her was a little shocked.

After all, from the perspective of the heroine in the game, that is, Isa (another world line), it is true that Reina had an emotional outburst after being scolded by the fourth prince, and she lost her mind and attacked the heroine and the royal family, but it seems that there is another hidden story.

But to be honest, this hidden story is not really difficult to guess. There is a part of the game that is told from a God's perspective. Judging from Claire's obsession with Rena, this person is not only the mastermind behind Rena's destruction, but is also probably one of the culprits of the attack.

After all, the crown prince has a sophisticated security system around him, and Rena not only wore armor and carried weapons to bypass all the bodyguards, but the bodyguards only hurriedly arrived when the heroine and the hero worked together to defeat Rena.

If this was a game, it could be explained as serving the gameplay, but when Lind was really in this world, he had to associate it with conspiracy theories.

Linde glanced at Claire with a playful look. As the most beloved little princess of the royal family, it is not impossible for her to find out the security around her brother, or even deliberately divert or bribe them. Moreover, given the royal family's increasingly fearful attitude towards the North, it is not impossible that there is someone with greater power supporting her behind the scenes.

It was this glance that made Linde and Claire's eyes meet. Both of them instantly smiled politely, nodded to each other, and then withdrew their gazes from each other.

If Claire has any special skill, it is that she is very good at judging people. It is precisely because of this that Claire was able to quickly get close to Lilith, because Claire could see at a glance that Lilith and she were the same type of people.

It is precisely because of this that Claire fell in love with Reina at first sight, who was completely different from those pretentious nobles, but this love was a little twisted.

But Claire now finds it difficult to see through Linde, because the look in Linde's eyes just now was too confident. It was not even a look of doubt, but a determination that Claire was lying.

Not only that, Claire's intuition told her that the lord in front of her even thought that the attack was planned by her, the princess.

It's hard to see through, but very interesting. This is Claire's evaluation of Lind. Claire licked her lips with interest, thinking about how to pack up Reina and this man and send them back to the capital.

Linde was also thinking about what conspiracy was behind Rena's attack on the fourth prince and the heroine, and how to keep Rena in the North. If he wanted to leave, he had to at least wait until the gray-collar worker had finished growing up.

To their surprise, Reina, who had no idea what they were thinking, asked, "Can I let my brother be the prime minister when I return?"

Linde almost spit out his tea, while Claire asked curiously: "Brother? Which brother? Is it Sean from the river valley? Or the younger one?"

"No, no, no, it's this one. Linde is also my brother."

After saying that, Reina casually put her arm around Linde's shoulders.

Claire tried her best to control her facial expression, but still said awkwardly: "You guys...really like different kinds of fun."

At this time, Lind even stood on Claire's side and asked, "Your Highness, has she always been like this?"

Claire held her forehead and looked at the silly Reina and asked, "Why? Viscount Linde Roll is not even a member of the Lars family. When you return to the capital, you will cancel the engagement. What good will this do for you?"

"Because the prime minister is the highest official. Your Highness, you see that I have governed the gray collar so well. If I become the prime minister, can't I make the whole kingdom become like this?"

Reina's tone was somewhat excited and agitated, and she seemed to be really thinking about this matter.

"You really like it here, Miss Lars."

Claire sighed. From Rena's tone, she understood that Rena really liked this place and even wanted the whole country to become like it.

Thinking of this, Claire finally gave up.

"That's unlikely, Miss Lars. You know, Prime Minister Cordick has a very high reputation now, and my father would never allow a viscount without any qualifications to be the prime minister."

"Isn't it true?"

Reina scratched her head, but still had a bright smile on her face, as if she was still immersed in her beautiful fantasy.

But Claire already knew that Lena had actually rejected her and didn't even want to know the truth and wanted to stay in this place.

After that, the banquet ended in a lukewarm atmosphere, and Claire did not mention the matter of letting Reina return to the capital again, but Claire was not in a hurry for this moment. After all, according to the intelligence Claire learned, the North was not far from complete division and destruction.

Claire, who failed to persuade Lena to come back, had no interest in staying in Gray Collar and prepared to leave the next day.

"Caroline, what the hell are you wearing?"

Seeing Caroline in a maid outfit, Claire froze in her tracks. Didn't I ask you to record the miserable situation of this territory? Why did you change your clothes in the end?

"First of all, Your Highness, please address me as Comrade Caroline. I have now successfully passed the assessment and am an honorable clerk of the Gray Collar."

"Then what's the meaning of this maid outfit you're wearing? Is this some perverted hobby of that lord?"

"This means serving the people, and it means that we will always be the people's servants."

After saying this, Caroline even lifted her skirt gracefully.

In fact, the secretaries did not have a uniform uniform, but most of the secretaries in the territory were maids brought by Reina, and Lila, as the chief administrative officer, had always been wearing the head maid's uniform, so the maid uniform had been retained like this and there was no special meaning.

Claire was stunned for a moment, then immediately thought of something and said mysteriously, "I see, you want to infiltrate the enemy, right?"

But Caroline directly denied it: "I am doing this for the people, not for you nobles!"

Claire couldn't help but sigh that Caroline was quite into the role, then patted Caroline on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I will explain to your family for you, just work hard in this gray-collar job."

"Thank you very much, Your Highness. I will go to the Grey Collar to see what the real North is like."

"Very good. When you see what it really looks like, remember to write to me."

Although the two were not on the same channel, Claire nodded with satisfaction, encouraged Caroline, and returned to the boat to prepare to leave.

Although she didn't see Reina kneeling down and begging for mercy, nor did she trick Reina back to the capital, Claire thought that she had successfully left a spy by Reina's side and it was not a complete loss.

As for the experiences in the North that Codick asked Claire to write about, who cares? Just write it down casually. Those frogs in the well in the capital will believe whatever he writes anyway, as long as it serves the interests of the royal family in the end.

On the boat, watching Lind and the others seeing him off, Claire imitated her brother Clan and snorted coldly: "Oh, interesting man."
