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

The destruction of the demon team that had been going deep into the northern border did not attract much attention, because the team was originally in a one-way communication state, and at most the liaison officer thought that Burken was having a great time in the northern border.

Although there are many rumors about the new bird-beaked masked nuns in Gray Collar, only the downstream town of Fason knows some specific details.

But in this age where communication mainly relies on shouting and contact basically relies on walking, everything for gray and white-collar workers seems to be a mirage.

On the other hand, the slightest disturbance in the royal capital would trigger a new storm.

For example, this morning, the kingdom's Prime Minister Kotick had already entered the residence of Grand Duke Lars.

At that time, many students and nobles lined the street to see Codick off, and there was even a feeling of the whistling wind and the cold Yishui River.

Codick did not say what he was going to do, only that it was for peace. Many people speculated that Codick was going to negotiate with Grand Duke Lars about some issues in the North, and some were worried about how Grand Duke Lars would treat the heroic prime minister of the current royal capital.

These people were right to worry. The furious Grand Duke Lars was almost unable to control the magic power surging around him, but Codick, who was sitting on the other side of the negotiation table, was drinking tea calmly.

"Your Excellency, have you thought it through? If you don't sign, I don't know what will happen to your precious granddaughter."

Behind Codick was a little girl being guarded by two guards from the Prime Minister's Palace. This was Reina's youngest sister, Ruby Lars.

Reina has two younger brothers and a younger sister. After Reina's father disappeared, Grand Duke Lars originally planned to let Sean, the most outstanding of the four siblings, inherit his father's position through a war of succession, while the other younger brother and sister were also divided up to strengthen the power of Sean's lineage.

Under such circumstances, Ruby was allocated her own territory, but it was usually managed by people sent by her brother Sean Lars.

But now, Ruby appeared in the royal capital, and was in the hands of her political enemy Kodick.

Grand Duke Lars felt like his head was about to explode. Ruby was here, but he knew nothing about it. Not only did it mean that there was a problem with Ruby's territory, but even Sean's territory might be in danger.

"Caudric, I thought you knew the rules among the nobles."

Although Grand Duke Lars's words were not offensive, his body was like a giant bear that was in an attacking posture.

This rule is naturally the unwritten rule among the aristocratic political struggles. No matter how brutal the struggle is, it will not harm the family. This is why Grand Duke Lars was confident in banishing Lubi.

"Is this rule written in the kingdom's laws? How come I don't know about it? I only know that Ruby Lars bullied the people, aroused public anger, and was driven out of the territory by the mob. Her life or death is unknown."

"She's just a child, and there aren't even many people in her territory! She doesn't even collect taxes!"

Grand Duke Lars slapped the table in his hand angrily, causing it to shatter instantly.

"Do you think the people in the capital now believe in you, the incompetent Grand Duke, or me, the heroic Prime Minister?"

Kodik said proudly: "I have brought lasting peace to your northern border!"

Then, Codick glanced at the document that was shattered along with the table, took out another one from his arms, and continued, "Sign it, Your Excellency. His Majesty said that as long as you sign, you will be allowed to leave the capital. Then you can take your granddaughter wherever you want, right?"

This was clearly a combination of soft and hard tactics. Grand Duke Lars glanced at the butler, who tremblingly took the treaty over. But at this moment, Codick took out another document from his arms, handed it to the butler and said, "Your Excellency, Grand Duke, don't worry. I have another copy here. But don't worry, it's not a treaty. You just need to read it out in Queen's Square. Of course, only after you finish reading it can you reunite with your beloved granddaughter."

Archduke Lars took the document, and sure enough, this document was as outrageous as the treaty. To put it in another way, the document that needed to be read out was a confession of guilt, which was densely filled with things that Archduke Lars had done or not done.

However, most of them were done by Kodick himself, but he cleverly grafted these things onto the Lars family.

Seeing that Grand Duke Lars was about to get angry, Codick raised his hand slightly, and the guards behind him immediately drew out their swords and put them on Ruby's neck.

"grandfather..."

Ruby, who was less than ten years old, held her favorite teddy bear and looked at Grand Duke Lars with tears in her eyes.

The next day, almost all the nobles and bards arrived at the Queen's Square on time. Grand Duke Lars had lost his former majesty and looked decadent like an old man. He stood on a platform that had been built long ago and began to read the contents of the document.

In order to quickly find out what happened in the North, Grand Duke Lars could no longer waste time in the royal city with this group of conspirators. Grand Duke Lars had a hunch that something big must have happened to the Lars family in the North, but Codick had used some unknown means to block the news from all directions.

"I am a sinner. I have betrayed the trust that His Majesty placed in me. It is my willful behavior that has led to the North becoming what it is today."

Archduke Lars was like a giant bear in his twilight years, reading the script set by Kotick gloomily on the stage.

As more and more crimes that did not belong to the Lars family came out of Grand Duke Lars's mouth, more and more people began to tell each other, and many passers-by even threw rotten eggs at the old man.

More and more people gathered in the audience, and some even shouted, "Hang him! Hang him!"

"Give us an apology!"

Of course, there were also many onlookers who did not know the truth and asked, "Who is this old man?"

"That grandfather who is the shame of the nobility."

"Oh, that, what a shameless old man, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, no wonder he could teach that noble shame"

This edict of apology soon alerted the guards of the royal city, who immediately took control of the scene and quickly captured the northerner who was arguing for Grand Duke Lars.

Immediately, a bard in the crowd began to claim that it was Chancellor Caudric who made Grand Duke Lars come to his senses. Long live Chancellor Caudric!

Then, as if it had been planned, the people present began to praise Cotick's great achievements, and countless rotten eggs were thrown at Grand Duke Lars as if they had been prepared long ago.

Archduke Lars, who was hit in the face, could only wipe the egg off his face and continue to read the contents of the document given to him by Kotick in the autumn wind.

For a time, the entire capital was filled with insults and criticisms of Grand Duke Lars, and praises and admiration for Codick.

The bards constantly sang praises of Caudricourt's wisdom and bravery, but in fact Caudricourt had no wisdom at all, he just did things without any bottom line.
