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

Barlow finished a day's work and walked out of the Mage Tower tiredly.

A second-level rune master, in the border countryside, is a person who even lords and nobles have to meet in person and treat with great courtesy.

But this is the royal capital. If you are a piece of gold, then the royal capital will be magnificent. A second-level rune master can only help the masters in the mage tower.

Barlow is considered one of the luckier ones. After all, the Twilight Tower where he is located is a subordinate institution of the Royal Mage Tower and affiliated with the Royal Professionals Association, so he can be considered to be eating government food.

If nothing unexpected happened, Barlow should have lived on the edge of the inner city, spending his days between the Mage Tower and his home, but as expected, an accident happened.

Barlow's sister Sharon, who had been dependent on him since childhood, suffered from a strange disease. She was weak and kept coughing up blood. She had sores on her body that gradually festered. Recently, it seemed that more and more people in the royal capital were suffering from this originally rare disease. The alchemists were scratching their heads but could not concoct a specific medicine.

Rumor has it that the disease can be cured by using the church's holy water, but holy water is precious and its price has skyrocketed. Barlow, who has no connections in the church and no money, can only work part-time while taking care of his sister carefully.

Because of this disease, Sharon has given up her studies. When she was about to give up, Barlow chose a mysterious loan that began to circulate in the royal capital.

With the loan, Barlow obtained a small bottle of holy water. After using it, Sharon's complexion improved significantly, and she can now go out for a walk.

"Are you back bro?"

Seeing his sister, whose face was already flushed, waiting for him, Barlow felt that his own fatigue and the stench of the outer city were not so important.

Barlow, who originally lived on the edge of the inner city, had to move to the outer city in order to save money for his sister's medical treatment.

"Don't you need a part-time job today?"

"I'm on break at my part-time job today, so I can take you out for a walk."

"No need, brother. I still need to spin. The lady next door lent me her spinning wheel. I need to spin the materials into yarn in the next two days."

Barlow looked at his sister's hands and the simple spinning wheel behind her with some distress, and said, "The pastor said that you must go out more often and breathe some fresh air. My brother just got his salary today, so let's go to the inner city."

Seeing Barlow's firm attitude, the sister nodded and followed him out.

The biggest change in the inner city of the royal capital is that there are more green-skinned demons on the streets.

Seeing his sister curiously taking a few glances at the green-skinned demons, Barlow explained, "Because the Prime Minister has just recently promoted a Freedom Act, which allows demons to travel in certain areas of the kingdom."

Barlow had just finished speaking when he saw several nobles leading students in a parade not far away. There had been more and more parades in the capital recently. Although the Lars family had fallen and was said to have split into four, people in the capital were increasingly dissatisfied with the new king.

The nobles who led the students shouted, "Freedom with restrictions is not true freedom! I hope the king can put aside discrimination and allow the peace-loving demons to freely enter the western and southern territories!"

The students behind him immediately started shouting along.

"Did His Majesty do anything?"

My sister looked at the parade not far away with some curiosity. Since she hadn't been to school for a long time, she didn't know much about the current situation in the outside world.

"No, His Majesty did not do anything. He just stipulated when signing the Freedom Act that the demons could not go to the western and southern territories where they were preparing for war. However, some people believe that this is not true freedom, but discrimination against the demons and a betrayal of their allies."

Being in an organization affiliated with the Royal Professionals Association, Barlow would always hear such news whether he liked it or not.

Barlow was somewhat confused. His Majesty the King had already given these demons enough privileges. Why did these nobles still say that His Majesty discriminated against these demons?

In Barlow's opinion, these nobles just wanted to take advantage of the time when His Majesty the King was implementing reforms to find an excuse to find fault with the new king in order to demonstrate their own authority.

At this time, a frivolous voice came over: "Little girl, are you free? How about we have a meal together?"

A green hand patted Sharon's shoulder. Sharon subconsciously hid towards Barlow, and Barlow also subconsciously grabbed the other person.

"What do you want to do to my sister?"

But Barlow soon regretted it, because the targets of harassing his sister were two demons.

The demon smiled evilly when he saw this, and immediately started shouting, "Help! Humans are bullying the demons again!"

Another demon also raised his voice and said loudly: "Aren't we just a little ugly? I didn't expect you humans to discriminate against demons. Is this how you humans treat your guests?"

Immediately, the attention of the entire street was attracted.

Barlow was stunned for a moment, then he immediately let go of the other person's hand and explained, "No, I didn't. You guys took the initiative to chat with me."

But it was too late. The noble who was marching saw the situation here and immediately surrounded them with his men.

When a demon saw people coming, he immediately started crying and shouting, saying that demons were originally as noble as elves and were born with the ability to use magic, but because of the jealousy of humans, they were driven to the eternal permafrost by the Lars family.

Another demon cried and wiped his tears, talking about how pitiful the demons were, the inhuman treatment they had suffered, and how they were abused by the Lars family.

The more they talked, the more enraged the nobles around them became, as if they wanted to eat the brother and sister alive.

"You humans just look down on us. We, the demons, have helped you maintain peace in the north, but your king won't even let us enter other parts of the kingdom."

"We just wanted to have a friendly cultural exchange with your sister, but you humans treated us like this."

After they finished speaking, the two demons gasped and shouted. As more and more people gathered around them, Baro felt more and more that he had no way to defend himself. In the end, he had no choice but to pull his sister away before the situation got out of control.

After escaping home, Baro finally comforted his sister, but the more he thought about it, the more scared he became. It seemed that one of his colleagues was fired because of discrimination against demons. The other person really looked down on demons, but to be honest, Baro did not have any ill feelings towards demons.

Although Barlow had once taken history as an elective course and knew why the Lars family had driven the demons to the eternal frozen land, he felt that that was all a thing of the past and the sins of the past should not be borne by the demons of today.

Normally, when he sees the demon Barlow, he won't be enthusiastic to go up and talk to him, but he just treats him as an ordinary person. Moreover, under the vigorous propaganda of Codick, the demons have long been portrayed as a smart, tolerant and peace-loving race. Coupled with the strong support of the nobles in the royal capital, who dares to look down on the demons in the royal capital?

Although it was clearly not his fault, Barlow still thought about finding a chance to apologize to the other party tomorrow. With an uneasy mood, after comforting his sister, Barlow dragged his tired body to sleep.
