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

Chapter 108 The New Queen

In the dream, Lilith was holding a lantern and moving around the Royal Capital Academy, which she was very familiar with.

"Your Highness, everything about her is fake. She only behaves like this in front of you."

A shadow guard wrapped Clan in a black shadow, and Clan looked at Lilith, who was sitting with her legs crossed and looking extremely relaxed, in the shadow. It was the first time that Lilith saw herself relaxing from a third-person perspective. She was really very tacky, especially when she took off her boots and picked her feet, and when she took off her heavy coat and fanned her small vest to cool down. Lilith just wanted to go up and stop herself.

At this time, Lilith regretted very much that she had not listened to her brother and corrected these bad habits. No wonder her brother said every day that he would not be able to get married in the future.

But what Lilith didn't expect was that Clan saw her in this state.

Dreams are an extension of reality, especially the dreams created by the oracle lantern in her hand. Lilith is sure that although Clan may not have spied on her in this way at the beginning, he must know what the real her is like.

"Interesting woman."

Crane's response was simple.

If Lilith could see her own expression at this moment, she would find that her expression was exactly the same as that of the shadow guard.

Lilith, who really didn't want to watch any more, held the lantern and walked forward to Clan who was watching another version of herself.

"Lilith, wait? Why are we back in the academy? Aren't we married?"

In an instant, the scene changed and they arrived at a crowded street.

"Your Majesty, you have been assassinated."

Cran was stunned for a moment, then he remembered what had happened.

"Am I dead then, Lilith, or are you really the goddess's messenger, here to take me to the kingdom of God?"

"No, this is in your dream."

Lilith hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your father might have been killed in a dream."

"I know, so am I still alive?"

Crane didn't seem to care much about the cause of his father's death.

"It's hard to say. Our magic defense is very comprehensive, but the assassin used a magic-breaking stone arrow to pierce your chest directly. I could easily handle this level of injury, but the stone arrow also contains toxins and plague, and your body is very weak, so."

"Lilith."

Crane interrupted Lilith's soliloquy.

"You used to be different. Where is the girl who slapped the bills on my desk at work?"

"Your Majesty... Actually, the stone arrow pierced your heart. His Holiness the Bishop used divine magic to perform surgery on you to remove the stone arrow, but the poison has already flowed throughout your body. We can only temporarily place your body in an ice coffin until the tower..."

Before Lilith could finish her words, the scene around her began to collapse.

"I'm almost done, aren't I?"

Clan did not seem to be in a dream at this moment, but seemed particularly sober.

"No, just wait until the tower..."

"The Tower will not intervene."

Crane shook his head. The tower did not even intervene in the collapse of the old empire. Finally, Crane asked directly: "Did Big Brother tell you my will?"

After hearing the will, Lilith covered her eyes with her arms, but she couldn't stop the tears from flowing out.

"I'm sorry, Lilith, that I couldn't give you a fairytale future."

"You obviously know everything, Your Majesty, why?"

"Because you are indeed an interesting girl, and you are the smartest girl I have ever met, so can you save the country for me? I know it is selfish to do so, but Lilith, please."

Cran stepped forward and hugged Lilith gently.

"You are so stupid. You know that everything about me is fake. I only approach you for myself."

"I know. I can even feel that you don't like me."

The most painful thing is that the other person clearly knows that you are lying to him, but still foolishly chooses to believe you. Lilith thought that only her parents and brother in her previous life would believe in her like this.

"Forgive me, Lilith. I leave this country in your hands."

During the final farewell, Lilith hugged Clan and cried bitterly, as if she had returned to the afternoon when she lost her brother in her previous life.

When Lilith woke up, her eyes were empty. She had lost her brother before she traveled through time, and she lost her newly married husband after she traveled through time. She had not experienced even a single day of the life she had imagined. Next, she might have to take a huge blame and take over a crumbling kingdom.

No one asked Lilith what she said in the dream, whether she confirmed the authenticity of the will. At least judging from Lilith's expression, it was true.

Moreover, Cliff had no motive to forge a will, and now there was a real need for a king to take the blame for the reforms.

Soon the internal meeting of the royal family began. The new king was assassinated not long after taking office. Being king seemed to have become a high-risk job, but it was obvious that this position was still very tempting in the eyes of some fools.

"I object! How can the throne fall into the hands of outsiders?"

A member of the royal family originally thought that such an outrageous will would never be passed, but if he raised his hand, many people would follow suit.

But surprisingly, Clan's brothers and sisters were very silent.

Although most people don't want the king to be a stranger, even if they are married. After all, Augustine himself was a relative of the emperor, but now no one wants to sit in this position, at least he doesn't want to sit in it. Two kings died suddenly in succession, and the next king will be blamed for the reform.

Even Lilith herself seemed unwilling. She was thinner and huddled in the queen's seat, with the seat beside her being empty.

"Lilith Dorian must be the next king. This is the king's will!"

Cliff was tough for once and tried hard to push Lilith to the top.

"If anyone is unwilling, they can recommend themselves."

The meeting immediately fell silent. Augustine and his ilk were different from the nobles. They could not sell the country for a good price, nor were they willing to do so. However, most people knew their own strengths and had little determination to push forward reforms after taking office.

These reforms would offend countless people, but without reforms it would be difficult to counter the rising Kingdom of Anjou in the south.

"We can form a royal cabinet, and the royal cabinet will exercise the king's power."

Cliff looked at the proposer of this suggestion as if he were a fool. The king's power was already weak, and now he was going to disperse this power further. By then, the royal cabinet would become a lamb to be slaughtered.

Cliff is a coward, not a fool.

"Vote."

The great elder of Augustine interrupted the discussion and announced that the next king would be decided by a direct vote of the royal family members.

Voting was actually a very unfair decision. After all, most of the Augustines did not have such a long-term vision. But after Cliff's persistent persuasion, in the end, the votes of those who supported Lilith and those who opposed Lilith were tied, and the last vote was in Claire's hands.

Looking at her former best friend curled up on the queen's seat, Claire smiled wickedly in her heart. Those nobles did a good thing. They had originally planned to wait until her brother's reforms were completed before reaping the benefits, but it would be difficult for Claire to take the throne by then.

But now, as long as Lilith takes office and the reform is almost complete, Claire can directly launch a coup on the pretext of restoring order. The team is already ready, so there is no need to waste it.

It is even possible that Claire will inherit the position of Queen Lilith in the future. All the configurations have been prepared for Claire, and she can get the support of most people to restore order.

"I'm sorry, my bestie."

Claire said silently in her heart, cast her vote, and decided to secretly support Lilith's reforms.

The result of the royal meeting was beyond everyone's expectations. The Augustines actually agreed to let Queen Lilith become the new king to take over the unfinished reform work of Clan.

But the voices of opposition were not loud. Everyone felt that the new Queen was just here to take the blame, and no one thought that the Queen could achieve anything. The Queen's prestige was as thin and petite as her figure.

The coronation ceremony was even more sloppy and hasty than Clan's original ceremony, and no one took the new queen seriously.

Lilith, like a puppet, sat in Clan's usual seat, with a pile of documents piled up on the table.

"Everyone go out, I want to be alone."

Now that the king had just been assassinated, it was obviously impossible to leave the new queen alone, but the personal maid looked at Lilith with pity, and then they all retreated tacitly.

Lilith took a deep breath, took out the letter written to her by the Lord of the Gray Collar, read it silently several times, then took out a few envelopes and began to write letters.

The recipients are all characters that Lilith has a favorable impression of in the game, especially those who currently have military power, such as the younger brother of Judith, the Duchess of the South, and the son of Scott, the Duke of the West.

This even includes Lind and Doug, two characters who now have Lars' troops but have no favorability.

Lilith felt her hands shaking as she wrote the letter, she must be crazy not to refuse to become queen.

But Lilith couldn't swallow this insult. She had nothing left and had nothing to lose, so she might as well go for the big one.

Lilith felt her heart burning. Now that the relationship had been completely torn apart, no one could escape. The struggle was started by these nobles, but it would definitely not end with them.
