Cahir was very satisfied with the performance of the Nilfgaardian Empire's elite Black Knights. Due to their strict obedience to their superiors, his elite squad was recognized by the Great Emperor. That was why the Great Emperor assigned him the task of finding the two princesses of the Kingdom of Cintra.
The knights parted for Cahir. He walked up the tower. He did not look down to check on Princess Olivia's condition. Instead, he stood at the edge of the tower and looked down. He estimated the height and felt lucky …
Without a doubt, a fall from such a height would definitely cost her her life.
The scene at the bottom of the tower was also unbearable. After this battle, the kingdom's castle would only become the Emperor's palace. It all depended on the Emperor's mood.
To prevent any accidents from happening, Cahir moved closer to the edge of the tower. He stood between Olivia and the tower's edge. He was worried that Olivia would suddenly wake up and see a group of Nilfgaardian Empire Black Knights. She might just roll down the tower and kill herself.
After all, the fate of the Kingdom of Cintra was too tragic. It was destined to be destroyed. No one knew when it would become a province of the Nilfgaardian Empire.
However, this was obviously a very difficult thing to do. Like king, like people. The underground resistance forces of Cintra might start to carry out long-term resistance activities from today onwards.
Ironically, the Kingdom of Verden, which was across the river from the Kingdom of Cintra, did not send any troops to help. Instead, it had requested to become a vassal state of the Nilfgaardian Empire.
It could not be helped. The King of the Kingdom of Verden was such a coward. This had led to a complete separation between him and Prince Kistrin, who was bent on marrying Princess Olivia. Who knew when Prince Kistrin would start a rebellion against his own father?
This was not only for Olivia, but also for the courage of a young man. After all, he was a valiant prince. He could not accept the fact that the kingdom he was about to inherit would only be a vassal state of the Nilfgaardian Empire. He wanted to maintain his kingdom's independence.
Prince Kistrin was indeed very unlucky. He had the chance to marry the Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms, but because of it, he was smeared by the other admirers of the Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms. They called him a fat, ugly man with bad breath. In the end, he did not even get engaged. The iron hooves of the Nilfgaardian Empire conquered the unyielding Kingdom of Cintra.
The terrified King of the Kingdom of Verden immediately announced that there was no such thing as an engagement. If he had a daughter, he would immediately send her to Emperor Emhyr's bed.
Cahir took a closer look at the unconscious Princess Olivia. This famous princess was completely different from what he had imagined.
She was not wearing a gorgeous and unique dress. It was said that she had designed it herself. According to rumors, the "Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms" would always wear the style of clothing that noble ladies would follow …
However, the clothes she was wearing were quite elegant. She wore a simple robe with a hood. Many spellcasters liked to dress like this. It made it easier to cast magic.
If Olivia had a staff, Cahir might have thought of her as a sorcerer instead of a princess.
The Nilfgaardian Empire's army had already invaded the castle. No matter how much Princess Olivia loved to look good, she would not be in the mood to dress up.
What puzzled Cahir was that this princess, whose beauty was rumored throughout the Northern Lands, was a little too young. She looked no more than eleven or twelve years old. Could it be that the Northern Kingdoms were filled with lolicons?
At the same time, Cahir could not help but curse. Was our Emperor a lolicon too?
There were also those portraits of the "Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms" that were circulating in the market. How many of them were drawn by people who had never seen Princess Olivia before? How immoral!
The contents of the opening picture were all fabricated!
Some artists might have drawn Princess Olivia based on rumors, or they might have taken it upon themselves to draw her into adulthood …
However, Cahir had to admit that the girl was indeed beautiful. This kind of beauty would not arouse men's desires. Instead, it would make them want to protect her.
Cahir considered himself a decent knight. Even though he was now an invader, invading the Kingdom of Cintra, his mission was not to kill, but to protect.
After confirming that Princess Olivia was only unconscious and not dead, he felt a weight lifted from his heart. He then began to search for the reason for the Princess's coma.
There was a sorceress in his elite squad. This sorceress was a disciple of Ashley Anahin, who served the Nilfgaardian Empire. Cahir's mother, Movar, was Ashley's niece. In other words, Ashley Anahin was Cahir's great-aunt.
As a court sorceress of the Nilfgaardian Empire, Ashley Anahin was famous and powerful. After all, she was included in the Gwent deck. She was not a hero card. She also had 6 battle points. However, her sentence on the Gwent deck was — Nilfgaardian wizards have a choice: Surrender, obey, or die!
From these words, one could see Emperor Emhyr's attitude towards sorcerers. They had to submit to him, or die!
The sorceress in Cahir's elite squad was, of course, limited in magic. She might not even be as good as the child Olivia. Anyway, she could not open a portal at will.
However, this sorceress could feel the magical fluctuations of the portal. She told Cahir about it, saying that Queen Calanthe had probably been teleported away by a high-level sorcerer.
Cahir did not even consider that it was Olivia who did this. Instead, he discussed with his great-aunt's disciple and speculated. Then, he and his deputy knight came to a conclusion —
The Kingdom of Cintra had collapsed. The cowardly b * stard Queen Calanthe had run away, abandoning her people. Her Royal Highness Princess Olivia had sworn to live and die with the Kingdom of Cintra. She had chosen to jump off the tower!
As for her fainting, it was the shockwave of the portal's closing.
Cahir and his elite squad had solved the case!
They looked at Princess Olivia, who was still unconscious, with reverence in their eyes …
