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

In the eighty-seventh year of the Imperial calendar, the old second emperor of the Empire, Lindrick, had a dream.

He dreamed that he returned to his childhood, when his father and mother were still there, and they provided a support for his childhood self.

Although people outside say that the emperor is great and the empress is kind and wise, Lindrick knows that his father would secretly read the novels and comics published by Aunt Lilith in his spare time, and his mother would take his younger brothers and sisters to play in the palace, and she especially likes cycling.

Occasionally, my parents would build a bonfire and roast duck like ordinary country people.

Lindrick dreamed that he was squatting in the palace with his parents, roasting wild duck with the most rudimentary equipment. But when he was a child, Lindrick did not like this family dinner, because he always felt that his mother put too much ingredients, and his hands were full of oil after eating, which was very troublesome to wash.

What's more, he is the heir to the empire. Squatting on the ground and eating roast duck was too naive for a man of Lindrick's age at that time. You know, Lindrick's dream at that time was to inherit his father's glory, complete the comprehensive development of Pangu Continent, conquer, open up, and embark on the road to the stars.

How can someone with such a dream squat on the ground and eat roast duck?

But in the dream, Lindrick ate with great relish. It was the first time that he felt the roast duck cooked by his mother was so delicious. Lindrick started to cry while eating. When he looked up again, his parents' faces were no longer clear.

"Is it tasty?"

The majestic yet peaceful voice of his father rang in Lindrick's ears.

"Ah."

"If it tastes good, eat more. You always had a sullen face, just like your father when he was at work."

The Queen Mother's voice is still as gentle, youthful and full of energy as before.

“Am I serious when I’m working?”

"You scared Old Four to tears at the round table meeting that day!"

The two parents were still laughing and playing just as Lindrick had seen them before, as if it had always been like this and would continue like this forever.

Lindrick no longer put on airs like he did in the past, but started playing with his parents. However, his parents' appearance became increasingly blurry, and their voices seemed to be getting farther and farther away. Until Lindrick's eyes became blurred with tears, he realized that the voices had disappeared and he had woken up.

The Empire's research on dreams has been quite in-depth. Lindrick, who has studied this aspect of knowledge, knows that this is his natural dream. Of course, no one would invade the dream of a retired emperor of the Empire. This makes no sense.

Lindrick had admired his father very much since he was a child. He held himself to the same standards as his father did when he was working. He even had only one queen in his life, just like his father.

Of course, the most important thing is that the first emperor who held the highest power of the empire chose to retire at the peak of his career, and smoothly transferred power to Lindrick. Lindrick, who had admired his father since he was a child, naturally wanted to follow his father's example and smoothly hand over power to his eldest son when he felt he was old.

But when the power began to be transferred, Lindrick realized how difficult it was to give up this power, and how determined his father was to completely transfer the power to him.

Lindrick burst into tears. The old emperor could hardly remember his parents' faces, but he still missed the hardworking and carefree days when he was the crown prince, and he missed his parents who were once young.

When the Queen Mother passed away, the Emperor also cried like this, and Lindrick was also very sad at that time. But it was not until now that Lindrick understood why the Emperor, who was so strong and healthy before, suddenly became decadent after the Queen Mother passed away.

My deadline is approaching.

The life span of professionals will be longer, and with the current advanced medical level, if they just want to live, they can live a long time, just like my father did. Before my mother passed away, he was not only able to read books and newspapers, write articles, but he was even able to take my mother back to the North to visit and guide his eldest grandson who was still in power in the North at that time.

But after the death of the queen mother, the father, who had always been full of energy, turned into an ordinary old man overnight. Even if the empire's medical level could allow this founding emperor who was both a great civil and military ruler to live for another few decades, both the father and himself knew at the time that he would be nothing more than a walking corpse if he lived any longer. Just like the queen mother refused to forcibly extend her life, the father went to the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness to accompany the queen mother after explaining some things in the end.

Lindrick also felt that he was almost there.

The guards had heard the sound and rushed into the room, but they only saw an old man looking at family photos and crying. This old man, who had been calm all his life and was regarded as the best heir to the empire, burst into tears for the first time in his life.

The next day, the second emperor who inherited the glory of the empire left the palace where he had lived for a long time with his guards and attendants, and arrived at the mausoleum where the previous emperor and the previous empress were buried together, and paid homage to them solemnly.

Two months later, after telling his children and grandchildren the final things, the successor of the empire followed in the footsteps of his parents and headed deep into the sea of ​​consciousness.

The second emperor of the empire, Lindric, has always been regarded as the most underestimated emperor in later generations.

During Lindrick's tenure, the Empire achieved a major breakthrough in communication technology, enabling information transmission across the Sea of ​​Impermanence, allowing the continent of Sauron to be officially incorporated into the Empire's direct territory, rather than being able to be controlled remotely.

Not only that, Lindrick also inherited his father's will and followed the dragon clan to complete the development of Pangu Continent. During Lindrick's time, the empire first developed space magic, laying the foundation for the subsequent empire to set foot on the starry sky.

Because Lindrick had a very good relationship with dragons, just like his father had with the elves, in some unofficial histories of later generations, Lindrick's only queen even became the incarnation of a dragon.

In addition to his relationship with the dragon, Lindrick has always been considered in history to have received help from his father's legacy. This is because during Lindrick's reign, nothing major happened, only some news of technological advances. These technological advances also often occurred during the reign of the First Emperor, so people in the empire were already accustomed to them at the time.

Most people's impression of Emperor Lindrick is that it was during this period that personal communicators became popular, civilian personal terminals began to appear, and the prototype of the Great Dream Network began to be built.

Wise ruler and successor are the labels most associated with Lindrick. However, if you look through the information carefully, you will find that Emperor Lindrick is not as kind and calm as he seems. It was Lindrick who completed the huge and detailed plan to split the Lars family initiated by the previous emperor, and this plan had already been laid when Lindrick was in power in the North.

Knight Lars no longer refers only to the knights of the Lars family, but has become an honorary knight title of the empire and no longer has any substantial relationship with the Lars family.

Many remnants of the old times were also completely wiped out during Lindrick's time. Lindrick, who had been with his father since childhood to handle government affairs and was later thrown into the North to govern, was more of a political animal than his father.

If the founding emperor Linde's thundering methods made the people below feel afraid, then Lindrick was sold out and you had to be grateful to him. This is also the reason why historical records generally believe that Lindrick is a "good man". After all, compared with his father, his methods seem to be more gentle.

This emperor, who was regarded by later generations as a role model for his successors, seemed to be constantly murmuring something in his last moments. It might be some remnants of the old era that had not yet been dealt with, or it might be some policies or conspiracies that he wanted to explain in full. It seemed that in the eyes of everyone, this was what made him more like an emperor.

Only his eldest son heard the emperor's last whisper: "Father, mother, I want to go home with you..."
