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

In any case, the gray-collar workers were finally on the right track. Under the guidance of the new system, the serfs showed unimaginable enthusiasm for work. What was often seen in the territory was no longer supervisors waving whips to urge their subordinates to work, but the subordinates constantly urging the team leaders to come for inspection and acceptance.

Most of the supplies sent by the Lars family were marked with work points by Lind and provided to the subjects for exchange. However, because the territory was still in the early stages of construction, not many people came to exchange, and most of them only came to exchange for some food.

Now, because there is no contact with the outside world, work points have temporarily replaced some of the functions of currency, but when the territory begins to develop, work points will become a simple contribution point. A territory that cannot be self-sufficient will definitely rely on wages to purchase goods from those merchants in the future. This is why Linde not only pays work points, but also wages.

Linde got up in his tent and stretched as usual. When his arms became stiff, he realized that Lila and most of the literate maids had been assigned to work by him. The aristocratic life that he had enjoyed for only two days was destroyed by Linde himself.

Just when Linde was lamenting that he had been corrupted by his extravagant life, he discovered that Lena, who used to go into the mountains hunting early every day, was now standing at the door of his tent abnormally.

After making sure that Linde was dressed, Reina walked into the tent and bowed to Linde with all she had learned in her life.

This gift gave Lind goosebumps all over his body. He quickly helped Rena to her seat and observed her carefully, as if he wanted to see from Rena's expression whether she had taken the wrong medicine today.

Although they are nominally an engaged couple, Linde and Lena's relationship is now very delicate. Both of them tacitly did not mention the engagement. They basically live their own lives and have no intention of getting married. Anyway, the sky is high and the king is far away in the North, and the engagement is already done. There is no urging from the royal family, and it seems that Lena has been forgotten.

Seeing Linde circling around her, Lena finally couldn't help it and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'm fine, but I have something very important to talk to you about today."

The more Reina said this, the more scared Linde became. In the game plot, Reina did a lot of bad things and had a lot of bad ideas. She even pretended to be a man and wrote a love letter to the heroine in order to divert her attention.

"It's just that I'm a little nervous. I don't know how to tell you, and I don't know if you will support me."

Reina's originally heroic and proud face was now full of nervousness and uneasiness, but Lind said bluntly: "If you don't know how to say it, just don't say it."

Linde was really afraid that Lena would suddenly say, "Brother, I want to rebel, you won't not support me, right?"

You know, although Lind now has the final say in the territory, the main armed force in the territory is the more than 50 professional knights brought by Lena. These knights are estimated to be able to overthrow Lind's veteran troops alone. As long as Lena is willing, she can give Lind a big hand at any time and take back the power.

"How about that?"

After she finished speaking, Reina excitedly slammed the table and stood up, as if what Linde said had actually provoked her.

"To be honest with you, brother, I was originally the fiancée of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. I was forced to come to Gray Collar because of a villain."

After this, Reina seemed to feel much more relaxed, so she continued, "Brother, if you help me return to the capital, I will ask the royal family to do me justice and let me become the princess again. When I become the queen in the future, I will make you the prime minister of the kingdom!"

There were so many flaws in Reina's words that Linde didn't know how to complain for a moment.

First of all, sister, are you sure you want to go back to the capital and fight against the heroine? You want to beat up the heroine? Really?

And how to get back to the capital? Sister, are you going to fight back to the capital?

Even if you really returned to the capital, and the old king suddenly went crazy and really made you the prince's consort, and you really became the queen, how could you appoint me as the prime minister of the kingdom? Is it the harem interfering in politics or the relatives of the emperor seizing power?

Well, although there were many bad things like this in the Middle Ages, we should at least wait until the king died, right?

What Linde wanted to complain about the most was that Lena's words always gave Linde the feeling of a scam text message saying "I am Qin Shi Huang, send me a 50-yuan letter and you will become the prime minister of Qin." It's better to say that this is no different from a scam text message at all.

But Linde still managed to control his expression. In order to prevent Reina from really going back to the capital, Linde asked carefully: "Ms. Lars, I really want to help you, but how are you going to get back to the capital?"

"Of course, to become the heir of the Lars family."

Reina answered as a matter of course.

At this time, Linde, who had not watched the plot carefully, finally remembered a setting in the game, that is, the heirs of the Grand Duke of the Four Realms were required to stay in the academy in the royal capital to study. Although they were a bit like protons, they were actually much freer than protons and had a much higher status.

This setting is mainly to allow the heroine to have legitimate interactions with those heirs, but now Reina regards it as a life-saving straw to return to the royal capital.

After all, for otome games, don’t worry about whether the settings are reasonable or not, just ask whether it is useful.

"Doesn't the Lars family have an heir yet?"

Linde looked at Reina in confusion. In the game, the heirs of the other three realms of the royal capital all had a good impression of the heroine, but it seemed that Reina was the only one from the Lars family, and Reina was not yet the heir of the Lars family.

When this was mentioned, Reina's expression suddenly dimmed, and she said with some sadness: "The original heir was my father, but my father disappeared five years ago."

No wonder there is no mention of who the heir to the North is in the game's plot.

Just when Linde was about to comfort Reina, Reina immediately regained her usual spirit and continued excitedly: "So now the position of heir to the Lars family is completely vacant. Grandfather has set a rule that among the descendants of the family with real fiefdoms, whoever governs the territory best and has the most military merits can become the next Grand Duke."

Although Lena's words were vague, Lind roughly guessed what Grand Duke Lars was thinking. The heir whom he had cultivated with all his efforts was missing, and the forces below were ready to make a move. In order to prevent future generations from using despicable means to compete for the position of heir, it would be better to set up a rule that whoever wins will take the throne.

This method has both advantages and disadvantages. If successful, it will raise a hero and restore the glory of the North. If it fails, it will directly lead to internal strife and even division.

But Grand Duke Lars probably dared to do this because he was confident that no descendants would dare to do anything wrong while he was still alive. However, this also showed that Grand Duke Lars could no longer completely control the entire family. At least the Lars family was no longer a one-man show by Grand Duke Lars.

"So you see, brother, you and I haven't officially married yet, so we still belong to the Lars family."

"That's right." Linde nodded slightly. Lena only needs to change her surname after the official marriage. Now Lena still belongs to the Lars family.

"The Gray Collar is managed by you and me, so it can also be considered my territory."

"Of course." Linde felt a little embarrassed, but still admitted it. After all, although Reina was easy to fool, the knights behind Reina had already grasped the hilts of their swords.

"Then since I am a member of the Lars family and have real land, do I also meet the conditions for participating in the competition for the heir?"

Looking at Lind who was beginning to be confused, Lena continued, "Originally, I thought it didn't matter who became the heir. Anyway, I might not belong to the Lars family anymore. But since you are capable, why don't we give it a try? You manage the territory and I lead the troops. If we go together, how can we be a match?"

Linde almost vomited blood when he heard this. It turned out that this matter was caused by him.

Reina thought that Linde was worried that he couldn't compete with the other members of the Lars family, so she comforted him, "Don't worry, brother. Although the territories of my uncle and my brothers and sisters are richer than the gray and white collars, they don't have the support of grandpa. Grandpa gave me so many supplies, he must want me to become the heir!"

Lind really wanted to say that if Grand Duke Lars really thought so, he would not have arranged the territory in such a remote place.

But Lena's next words made Linde hold back his complaints.

"I want to let those people in the capital who laughed at me know that things change over time, and don't bully a poor girl!"

Lin De finally settled in Bengbu and asked tentatively, "Is the Imperial Court Jade Wine?"

"What? You want to drink, bro?"

"No, no, it's okay."

Linde took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Is there such a sentence in Cao Dan's other world? Thinking carefully, although he is not a son-in-law, isn't Reina the genius whose engagement was broken off? Could there be a medicine master or a spirit in Reina's ring?

This can also explain why Reina has reached the level of a strong person at such a young age.

But then again, Lind thought that he could really give it a try to fight for the position of heir. If Reina really became the heir, wouldn't he and Reina's engagement be cancelled directly? And now with Grand Duke Lars in charge, the war of heirs would definitely not go too far. It could be said that it was a deal with only one disadvantage and one benefit, so there was no reason to refuse.

After Lind expressed his support, the relationship between the two instantly became much closer. Taking this opportunity, Reina recounted the game plot from her perspective.

But when Reina was halfway through her story, Lind suddenly stopped her, looked at Reina with some doubt, and asked seriously: "Wait, Miss Lars, what is the name of the new saint who took away the fourth prince in the capital?"

"Lilith Dorian? She seems to be a little noble from the East. Although she is small, she is really cute. But I don't like her very much. I always feel that she has two different faces in front of His Highness and in front of others."

Reina continued to talk to herself, not noticing Lind's abnormality at all.

Not right.

Linde tapped the table nervously. Wasn't the official heroine in the game named Isa Nebet? And she wasn't the black-haired lolita described by Reina, but a silver-haired beauty.

What's more important is that even though the name and appearance of the heroine can be customized in the game, her birthplace is fixed. Wasn't she born a commoner in the North? How did she become a minor noble in the East?

In order to verify his guess, Linde interrupted Rena again.

"Ms. Lars, do you know a northern civilian named Isa Nebet in the academy?"

Reina was a little angry at being interrupted, but seeing Linde's serious face, she began to recall seriously. In fact, the Lars family paid attention to the people from the North in the Royal Academy, not to mention a commoner, which was a rare species in the academy of aristocrats.

"Is she the beautiful one with silver hair? I do have an impression of her, but I was dragged here before I graduated. I don't know where she went after graduation. Is she your relative?"

Lind's expression turned into horror - there was another time traveler, and that time traveler had successfully replaced the heroine's identity.
