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

Chapter 168 Love Letter from the King of Anjou

In the royal capital, ever since Claire made a statement on behalf of the Augustine family and appointed Claire as Lilith's assistant, the capital had been peaceful for a rare period of time.

Although the old party is still arguing with the new party and reform is still difficult, at least compared with before, it can be moved forward. It's a pity that the serf reform that Prime Minister Nora has been thinking about encountered greater resistance than expected, and the bill died in the womb before it was implemented.

On some matters that harm the basic interests of the nobility, the New Party and the Old Party will rarely reach a consensus, especially in an increasingly stable environment.

And the old party no longer had any connection with Augustines.

However, although he had no connection with the Augustines, he unknowingly hooked up with Claire, who represented the Augustine family.

It is difficult to say whether Claire represents herself or the entire Augustine, but at least as an assistant officer, it is also Claire's job to appease the various forces on the surface.

The biggest news in the capital right now is probably the war in the North. Her Majesty the Queen's sworn brother broke through White Frost Castle with great force. Many people began to praise the Queen for her foresight. With such a sworn brother, the North will be stable in the future.

Most people no longer complain about the fact that a queen of a country calls a regional governor "brother". Calling him "brother" in exchange for the entire northern territory is simply too good a deal.

Some people even began to promote that Gray-Collar was the orthodox Lars, and that Doug, who killed his father to take the throne, should be hanged.

Of course, these people didn't say a word about how Doug killed his father.

In the southwest, the effect of artillery gradually began to emerge. Although they were still defeated by the Kingdom of Anjou on the front battlefield, defending the southwest border was no longer a problem.

Everything seemed to be peaceful again.

But at this moment, Nora rushed into Lilith's study like a raging bull.

Before Lilith could ask, Nora bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, please take a look at this letter first."

Lilith, who didn't understand why Nora was blushing, took the letter and started reading it. It was sent to Lilith by the current king of the Kingdom of Anjou.

After reading it, Lilith's expression became uncertain.

"I'm very sorry, Your Majesty. Normally I can't open and read letters of this level without permission."

"It doesn't matter. This is the power I gave you."

Lilith waved her hand. These male protagonists who had a high favorability towards her were already the few people she could trust in the capital.

But knowing how much Nora liked her, Lilith understood why Nora blushed after seeing the letter.

Alberto Ferdinand, the current king of the Kingdom of Anjou, proposed to Lilith.

Alberto in the letter called himself Al, and wrote a love letter to Lilith from his own perspective. Not only was it quite corny, he also said that if he married Lilith, Clan would be happy, at least Lilith would not have to be a widow.

Not only that, Alberto also directly identified Lilith as a descendant of the old empire. After he married Lilith, Anjou and Capet could directly merge to restore the glory of the old empire, and the two countries would no longer have to fight.

This is not a proposal at all, this is simply a mockery.

Just by looking at the wrinkles on the letter paper caused by Nora's pinching, you can tell how hot Nora is right now.

"This is outrageous, this is really outrageous! Your Majesty, I will call a round table meeting immediately. We must beat them hard!"

Looking at the prime minister in front of her, who was known for his calmness but occasionally had some bad ideas, Lilith shook her head and said, "Calm down!"

"How can you stay calm, Your Majesty? He is not only insulting you, but also His Majesty Crane and our entire kingdom!"

"Even so, you should stay calm."

Lilith stood up and looked toward the royal capital through the window. Although the letter was sent through a special channel and no one else except Nora could have seen it, Lilith could already imagine that by now the contents of the letter would be all over the streets of the royal capital.

It seems that the artillery really caused the Kingdom of Anjou a lot of trouble, otherwise the other party would not have started these little tricks.

At this time, Alberto was admiring the portrait of Lilith in the royal palace of Anjou.

Different from the luxurious style of the Capetian Kingdom, the royal palace of Anjou is more stable and solemn, and the emptiness inside the palace is somewhat scary.

There were even some bloodstains from the coup that had not been cleaned off the walls and floors.

Because the portrait in his hand was carved with magic, it can be said that the portrait is exactly the same as Lilith herself.

Alberto was very young, and it was hard to imagine how such a young king could break through the cruel political environment of Anjou and successfully carry out a coup.

Moreover, his painting style is very similar to the male protagonists around Lilith. If Lilith sees it, she will probably find out at a glance that Alberto's painting style is very similar to those of the male protagonists who can be conquered.

"Is this Her Majesty the Queen of Capet?"

Alberto looked at the portrait with a strange expression.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is undoubtedly the new Queen of Capet."

A bard beside Alberto bowed.

Although Alberto had never met Lilith before, this did not prevent Alberto from writing that passionate love letter. After all, his original purpose was to disgust the other party, not to really marry the other party's queen.

But he had written a love letter after all, and Alberto thought that he had to meet the queen no matter what. Wouldn't he be at a disadvantage if she was ugly?

But it was precisely because she was the widow of Clan, the legitimate heir of the Capetian Kingdom, and was of a minor noble family that Clan chose despite political factors. She could not be ugly in any way, so Alberto wrote the love letter without any psychological burden.

"What do you mean? So Crane Augustine likes this one?"

Alberto shook his head. Lilith was indeed not ugly, at least she was quite in line with human aesthetics, but Alberto's first impression of the petite queen was that she was cute.

Thus, a strange impression was left on Alberto's mind by Crane.

Although Clan's reputation has been damaged, after all, the dead cannot speak for themselves.

Only Alberto didn't know how many people had a crush on Lilith, otherwise the reputation of the nobles in the capital of the entire Capetian Kingdom would probably be ruined.

"Have you done any research on this queen?"

Alberto turned and asked the bard beside him.

"That's natural, but Your Majesty, some of my colleagues seem to be investigating this queen as well, and they are closer to us than she is, which makes it difficult for us to dig out any useful information, and we can't confirm whether this queen is a descendant of the old empire."

"Are you from the editorial faction?"

After getting confirmation from the bard beside him, Alberto picked up Lilith's portrait again with a playful look.

"Those people are helping this queen hide her background. Doesn't that mean this queen is someone powerful?"

"No, Your Majesty, this could also be a smokescreen. My colleagues love to do these little tricks."

Hearing this, Alberto put down the portrait and said regretfully: "Cassius, when can you learn from your colleagues and help me with some tricks?"

"Your Majesty, we are a historical record school, not a falsification school like theirs."

"Okay, okay, but your colleagues are about to unify Capet's northern borders."

"A place where crickets live."

"Cannons and muskets also came from the North."

Cassius finally stopped being stubborn and said, "These things do have some of the style of the old empire, but they are fakes after all, and it's not that they can't be used by Your Majesty."

Cassius looked at the musket on Alberto's waist and said, "Our artillery and muskets will surpass Capet's Southwestern Alliance."
