The Path to Lordship Begins in the North

Although he desperately wanted to keep Her Majesty the Queen in the North, Lind knew that the situation most likely wouldn't allow it.

Without a reasonable explanation, then the bards will be left to their own devices. Linde doesn't even dare to imagine what kind of reasons they might come up with. At best, they might create a bunch of melodramatic romance dramas in the future; at worst, he might lose his manhood, or even his penis.

Although the bards under Lucanus served as historians and liked to add their own opinions, it did not mean that these bards would allow Lind to make things up.

Seeing Linde's constipated expression, Lilith said, "Anyway, I definitely have to go back to the capital now. With me in the capital, it will be easier for you to do whatever you want, brother."

At this moment, Lind finally looked up and asked, "Aren't you the Queen of Capet?"

Lilith put her feet up on the table and said, "I saw it coming a long time ago. Those Augustins in the capital have no good intentions. They're the ones who made a mess of the capital, they're the ones who made me clean up the mess, and they're the ones who want to reap the benefits in the end. Since someone else is going to take the credit anyway, why not give it to our Lin family?"

Lilith had no intention of truly serving the Augustinian family to the death; for the country, it was best for her brother to take over.

"But the capital is in great danger..."

Linde repeated the sentence with a gloomy expression.

"Brother, why are you still so indecisive?"

Lilith was now certain that the fussy governor of the North was indeed her older brother.

"Besides, even though I look dangerous, no one dares to touch me. I'm a saint of the church! I'm protected by the church!"

Lilith is like a little girl who repeatedly emphasizes to her parents that the spring outing is not dangerous, constantly stressing that there are teachers leading the group and it is very safe.

Linde, on the other hand, was like a stubborn parent who felt that nowhere was safe and that it was better to stay at home.

"No, let me think about it some more and see if there's a better way. If there really isn't one, then we'll put on a show and lure you to the North."

Linde glanced at his younger sister, who was sitting slouching, never expecting that he would have to clean up his sister's messes in this strange world.

"Hey brother, what are you still thinking about? If I really get to the North, won't the situation be even more dangerous? Won't the North be surrounded by enemies on all sides?"

Linde, supporting his forehead, said, "Given the current situation, the North might not necessarily be unable to fight on all sides, but many things will have to be rebuilt..."

But then Lilith slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "Stop being so wishy-washy! Just tell me if I'm going to go back to the capital or not!"

Lilith's words make a lot of sense. The best course of action now is for the brother and sister to have one of them farm in the North and the other provide support in the capital.

After some hesitation, Linde decided to let Lilith return to the capital first. With Lilith in charge, many things would be much easier. As for safety, Linde would make sure those guys couldn't harm Lilith.

Finally, Linde repeatedly emphasized:

"Don't do anything out of line, don't act recklessly. You must contact me before doing anything. I'll figure out the rest. The previous contract also needs to be reconsidered. In short, you stay in the capital and don't cause any trouble, understand?"

Although it was still a bit long-winded, Lilith exclaimed after hearing it, "Great! Long live brother!"

Lilith, relieved that the capital's predicament had been resolved so easily, leaned back in her chair, fanning herself with her collar, and said, "Speaking of which, I never expected you to get married in another world. I thought someone like you would never get married. And, brother, do you like Reina's type? Should I introduce you to a few more in the capital?"

Looking at his sister's mischievous grin, Linde replied:

"Isn't that all thanks to you?"

Lind's answer was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Lilith's heart, causing her to pause for a moment.

"And you should call her sister-in-law now."

Upon hearing those words again, Lilith felt as if she had been struck by another sword, and almost fell backward.

Then, Lind stared at Lilith and said, "You're a queen now, can't you have some manners? You'll never get married if you keep acting like this."

Upon hearing this, Lilith retorted urgently, "Who said that? I'm already married! And the men who want to date me could stretch from the inner city all the way to the city gate!"

"Alright, let's get ready. I need to revise the treaty. Let's call everyone back from outside first."

Linde waved his hand, then suddenly started to have a headache.

Because the building was temporary, soundproofing wasn't taken into account. Lind and Lilith's conversation was somewhat muffled from outside the door, but it was still generally audible.

However, since the brother and sister spoke Mandarin throughout the entire event, they were not worried about any leaks or similar issues.

When they first started exchanging passwords, Judith immediately recognized that the brother and sister were using a dialect-like language to confirm their identities, but she couldn't understand the rest of the conversation.

Judith and Nora pressed themselves against the door like thieves, trying to hear what the Governor of the North and Her Majesty the Queen were talking about.

However, since they couldn't understand the words, the two could only judge the situation by the tone of voice.

The conversation started out normally, but for some reason they started arguing halfway through.

If Judith hadn't stopped her, Nora would have kicked the door open.

Fortunately, the two seemed to have reached an agreement on something. Just as Nora wanted to listen more carefully, Lind opened the door, and Nora almost fell in.

Linde looked at the group of people from the capital outside the door, his feelings complicated.

Lena keenly noticed the change in Linde's expression and moved closer to him, asking, "What's wrong?"

Linde sighed and said, "There have been changes to the plans for the capital. I think we need to provide Her Majesty the Queen with more assistance."

Lena tilted her head and asked, "Isn't that how it should be?"

Hearing this, Lilith, who was following behind Linde, glanced at Lena with the same complicated expression as Linde. Her sister-in-law really knew how to take care of people. She was such a good sister-in-law. Although she had been very conflicted about the result she had caused, it seemed to be not so bad now.

"Regarding those treaties that were signed previously."

Linde glanced at the people from the capital outside the door and said loudly, "I think there are still some things that need to be discussed again."

Soon the group sat down again and the second half of the event began.

Although Nora knew that Her Majesty the Queen had some trump cards to use in exchange for benefits with the Governor of the North, she never expected that she would bring him back to the negotiating table and that all the treaties would have to be renegotiated.

Moreover, Her Majesty the Queen did not look as melancholy as before, but rather very happy. Nora had not seen Her Majesty with such a high smile in a long time. It was as if Lilith was not a queen, but an ordinary girl in a very good mood.

But this doesn't seem so bad, at least that's what Nora thinks.

In contrast, the Governor of the North across the table wore a pained expression, as if he were constipated.
