They were no longer on the sea, where no one could control them. They were in the Kingdom of Cintra, ruled by Queen Calanthe's iron fist. What would happen to them if Queen Calanthe found out about their incestuous and homosexual love?
Cirilla could not imagine it. Then, she realized how rational her sister was …
Of course, apart from that, she also felt that her sister might have already accepted her fate. Therefore, before she was married, she wanted to give her everything to her sister. The best time to do this was when no one was around to control them on the ship.
Cirilla knew that her sister was not willing to get married at all. She decided to go back and prepare to escape with her sister. She believed that her sister would definitely agree to it.
In order to strengthen her sister's faith, she also wanted to investigate that Prince Kistrin. She wanted to see what it was about him that her grandmother had taken a liking to.
Cirilla did not really understand the concept of a marriage alliance. She scoffed at it. Could it be that a marriage alliance could completely bind two kingdoms together? What was the point of war between kingdoms?
Marriage was probably the most useful thing in the world, but in reality, it was the most formalistic thing. Its biggest function was to provide psychological comfort to the ruler. When it came to the most fundamental interests of a country, it became increasingly pale and powerless.
Olivia met her grandmother Queen Calanthe again. On the surface, she was only the Queen of Cintra. The King was Eist, but in reality, she was the one who truly controlled Cintra. Eist was just a rubber stamp.
From the perspective of this era, Queen Calanthe was undoubtedly an excellent ruler. She governed Cintra in an orderly manner. All the lords in the kingdom obeyed her. When they heard that she was going to fight the Nilfgaardian Empire, these lords seemed to be inspired and courageous. They had already recruited soldiers and gathered in the castle of the kingdom. As soon as Queen Calanthe gave the order, they would rush to the frontlines.
Of course, based on Queen Calanthe's style, she would definitely choose to lead the troops herself. King Eist would also go with her. Both of them were very powerful. After all, Eist was from the Skellige Isles, and there were no cowards in the Skellige Isles.
Queen Calanthe's facial features were strong. She wore a crown on her head as well. When she saw Cirilla and Olivia, she kindly embraced them both in her arms. No matter what, she appeared to be impartial on the surface. However, from the various details, one could tell that she had her heart set on a different path.
Not to mention the standards of the previous banquet. Cirilla wanted to learn more about the so-called art of governance. Olivia, on the other hand, was free to squander her time. as long as she maintained a ladylike posture, understood aristocratic etiquette, and was a good vase, one could see which granddaughter Queen Calanthe favored.
Olivia was more than happy. She did not want to learn the outdated art of governance. She would rather study magic, alchemy, or even painting on her own. These were much more interesting than being lectured by Queen Calanthe.
From Olivia's point of view, the Kingdom of Cintra had no future. It might seem prosperous now, but it was only a false prosperity.
Olivia had long studied the geographical location of the Kingdom of Cintra. In ancient China, it was a "land of four wars." During the period of the Three Kingdoms, it would be Jingzhou. No matter which country, Wei, Shu, or Wu, they would fight for it. As long as they could seize this land, it would be like a bridgehead. They could attack and retreat as they pleased.
Therefore, to ensure the safety of the Kingdom of Cintra, they had to quickly find someone powerful to rely on, instead of developing on their own. However, her stubborn, iron-fisted grandmother had chosen to develop on her own. As a result, not only did she have a lukewarm relationship with many other kingdoms in the Northern Realms, she had also incurred the wrath of the Nilfgaardian Empire.
As for Emperor Emhyr, he felt that using the Kingdom of Cintra as a breakthrough point to attack the Northern Realms was the best choice. What he needed to do was simple.
Therefore, a last-minute marriage alliance was meaningless. The Kingdom of Verden was not even as large as the Kingdom of Cintra. Could two dogs defeat a lion?
To truly resist the edge of the Nilfgaardian Empire, the Northern Realms had to unite.
Olivia's only regret was that she would have to wander for a while. With her current age and strength, she could not influence the situation of Cintra at all.
In fact, if Queen Calanthe wasn't such a stubborn and iron-fisted ruler, perhaps she could use her title as a 'genius' to slowly suggest reforms to her and use the Kingdom of Cintra as an experiment.
Unfortunately, she had seen through the game system's "Character Information Bar," as well as Queen Calanthe's usual style. Therefore, she would not waste her efforts.
Therefore, Olivia did not have any sense of belonging to any of the countries on this continent. Just like back in the supernatural source world, she would calmly observe the development of the situation as a bystander.
The only person that Olivia cared about was her sister, Cirilla. Of course, in her eyes, Cirilla was just a sister on the surface. In reality, she was more like a younger sister, a daughter …
In such a chaotic situation, the only person she could protect was Cirilla.
Of course, in the eyes of others, she had completely accepted her fate. Even Queen Calanthe treated Olivia better than before. This was probably a form of compensation. She felt that Olivia was obedient, sensible, and considerate of the bigger picture. She understood that she had to contribute to her motherland. However, at that moment, Cirilla took action.
As Queen Calanthe believed that the "weak" Olivia would never resist marriage, she relaxed her control over her. She even gave her more freedom. As a result, Cirilla saw an opportunity to take advantage of.
Of course, Cirilla's investigation was very rough. Rather than an investigation, it was more accurate to say that she had heard rumors. She found out that Prince Kistrin was fat, ugly, and stupid. He also had bad breath. He was simply a fat, ugly man who did not stay at home!
In fact, ever since the news of Kistrin's engagement with the "Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms" Olivia spread, this Prince Kistrin had been badly tarnished …
In fact, no matter what Kistrin was like, there was no possibility between him and Olivia. Olivia had the power to control her own fate.
"Olivia, you know what a disgusting guy Kistrin is. So … let's elope!" Cirilla said firmly as she held her sister's soft little hand.
