Chapter 635 Marriage
The size of the Kingdom of Sintra, of course, is far less than that of the Nilfgaardian Empire. In fact, it can be seen from their titles that one is just a "kingdom" and the other is an "empire". The Kingdom of Sintra The supreme ruler of the Nilfgaard Empire can only be called the "King", while the supreme ruler of the Nilfgaard Empire is called the "Emperor".
Emhyr, who is dancing on the grave, is now honored as "Emperor Emhyr". No one knows that he used to be Cintra's son-in-law Donnie, only that he is the former prince who returned from exile. Completed the restoration of the country, suppressed political enemies with thunderous means, and began to divert domestic conflicts skillfully through war.
If you want to fight against the Nilfgaardian Empire, unless the countries in the Northern Territory unite, the Kingdom of Sintra alone will be like hitting a stone with a pebble.
In fact, there is still a problem with the system. The Nilfgaard Empire is a centralized state with a provincial system, while the northern countries are relatively backward enfeoffment countries. In terms of army mobilization, they are not as good as the Nilfgaard Empire. .
The Nilfgaard Empire, which was originally huge in size, prosperous and prosperous, with a powerful army, ushered in the ambitious, politically and strategically shrewd Emperor Emhyr. It can be imagined that under the emperor's rule, it How fast is the expansion of the territory.
So Amerigo Vertucci, the mapmaker of the Nilfgaardian Empire, can proudly declare——
"Niflgaard doesn't have the right map because Nilfgaard just keeps getting bigger and bigger."
There is no doubt that among the known continents occupied by humans, the Nilfgaardian Empire is the most powerful empire, bar none!
The Kingdom of Sintra is located in the southernmost part of the northern kingdoms, facing the sea in the west, facing the Skellige Islands across the sea, Temeria in the north, and Nasser, which was just conquered by the Nilfgaard Empire in the south. kingdom. Now the Kingdom of Nasser has become the province of Nasser.
The kingdom of Cintra guards the southern flank of the northern kingdoms, and it can be said to be powerful during the reign of Queen Calanthe. But unfortunately, this kingdom on the south bank of the Yaruga River is about to bear the brunt of the southern invaders.
Emperor Emhyr doesn't miss any old feelings, besides, he has always held resentment towards Calanthe, his mother-in-law, just like many protagonists who like to slap their faces and seek revenge. Back then, the hateful mother-in-law looked down on me, so she was unwilling to marry her daughter to me , then wait and see, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor!
Emperor Emhyr never seemed to regret killing his wife Pavetta. He hypocritically said, "When my Pavetta died, the sky cried for her, and I will not let the sky cry for me." , as the emperor, he married the new imperial concubine Aine Dermot not long after.
He really wanted an heir to stabilize the morale of the army and the people. As a result, he seemed to have been punished by God. After all these years, he still had no heirs... This made him involuntarily start to miss his two daughters, Xilia and Oli. Weiya.
Especially the latter, he really didn't care about his children at the beginning, but he was very impressed with the genius's little daughter. If he really can't have any more children in the future, it might be a good idea to let Olivia inherit his throne. The most suitable choice.
At this time, knowing that the mighty Nilfgaardian Empire was about to march north, Calanthe, Queen of Cintra, could only use the most helpless but very practical way to deal with it, that is marriage.
Calanthe has already considered the target of the marriage, that is, the Kingdom of Verdon, which is across the river from Sintra. This kingdom has a good military strength, and the prince Christine is also quite famous in martial arts. As long as the two countries marry, they can become With the power of the horns, resist the sharp edge of the Nilfgaardian Empire!
When Calanthe sent the intention of marrying to the Kingdom of Verdon, his prince Christine was ecstatic as if he had won the first prize, because he named the "Pearl of the North" and wanted the little princess of Sintra. Livia, as for Xilia and the like, he doesn't even want it!
Calanthe was still eccentric, and at the same time she always looked down on Olivia, so she felt that sending this younger granddaughter out for marriage was a rare contribution to the motherland.
While Calanthe was actively planning for the marriage, Cilia and Olivia were temporarily not in Sintra, but in the Skelliger Islands.
Because Olivia recognized the nephew of King Bran, the lord of the Skellige Islands, as his father, Olivia would stay in the Skellige Islands for a while almost every year. , she also has the right to inherit the archipelago...
And Shiriya, who is almost a conjoined twin with her younger sister, will naturally accompany her younger sister, so the two of them spent their childhood in the Kingdom of Sintra and the Skelliger Islands.
The ones who have the best relationship with Olivia and Cilia are naturally Kraqi's two biological children, Halma and Caris.
It was winter, and many lakes on the Skellige Islands were frozen, and Halma began to show off in front of Olivia how good at skating he was, and he had achieved record in the challenges of skating games over the years. Can break.
Halma should be regarded as Olivia's brother who has no blood relationship. The other party has inherited Kraqi's brown-red hair color, and has been known for his bravery since he was a child.
Olivia complained to her sister in private, that Halma is a hot-blooded idiot with well-developed limbs and a simple mind, the kind who can't be more reckless, should he be said to be the eldest son of "Sea Boar" Kraqi... …
In front of Halma, Olivia, a dramatist, is of course another kind of character, that is, a gentle sister who adores her brother's bravery.
Halma compared the attitudes of his real sister Caris and his adopted sister Olivia towards him. He only felt that there is a saying in this world that is absolutely true - a real sister is worse than a real sister!
Therefore, Halma always likes to pretend to be handsome in front of her adopted sister Olivia, and then get the admiring gaze of her adopted sister as she wished, but if she pretends in front of Caris, she will be ruthless by her real sister. She complained, and even slapped her directly, telling this brainless brother not to lower her IQ.
And now when Halma is posting some skating game records, Xilia, who has endured him for a long time, finally couldn't help provoking: "Halma, why don't we compare and see if I can break it?" Your record."
Halma said boldly: "Xilia, I am too lazy to do such superfluous things, the outcome is too uncertain."
However, Olivia spoke at this time, and she said with a smile: "Whoever wins, I will dedicate my first kiss to him."
Halma, who seemed unmotivated to compete with Shiriya just now, was full of anticipation, and even loudly said: "Xi Li, let's compete!"
Shiriya's gaze became horrified, turning into a death stare, staring at Halma, why is there always someone trying to rob her sister!
Halma seemed to be slow-witted, and ran to the noble and elegant little princess Olivia, looked at the seductive pink lips of her step-sister, swallowed, and confirmed: "Weiya, what did you just say? Does it count?"
"Of course it counts!" Olivia looked as if watching the excitement was a big deal, because she had full confidence in Silia.
