The size of the Kingdom of Cintra is of course far smaller than that of the Nilfgaard Empire. In fact, it can be seen from their names. One is just a "kingdom", while the other is an "empire". The Kingdom of Cintra The supreme ruler of Nilfgaard can only be called "King", while the supreme ruler of Nilfgaard Empire is called "Emperor".
Emhyr, who is dancing on the grave, is now revered as "Emhyr the Great". No one knows that he was once the consort of Cintra, Donny. They only know that he is the former prince who returned from exile. In a short period of time, After completing the restoration of the country, he used thunderous means to suppress political opponents, and skillfully used war to divert domestic conflicts.
If you want to fight against the Nilfgaard Empire, unless the countries in the northern realm unite, the Kingdom of Cintra alone will be fighting an egg against a stone.
There is actually a structural problem. The Nilfgaard Empire is a provincial, centralized country, while the northern countries are relatively backward feudal countries. They are not as good as the Nilfgaard Empire in terms of military mobilization. .
The Nilfgaardian Empire, which was already huge, prosperous, and had a powerful military, ushered in the ambitious, politically and strategically extremely astute Emperor Emhyr. It is conceivable that under the rule of the Emperor, it How quickly the territory is expanded.
So Amerigo Vertucci, the mapmaker of the Nilfgaardian Empire, can proudly declare -
"There is no right map for Nilfgaard because Nilfgaard is only getting bigger."
There is no doubt that the Nilfgaard Empire is the most powerful empire among the known continents occupied by humans!
The Kingdom of Cintra is located in the southernmost part of the northern countries, facing the sea to the west and the Skellige Islands across the sea, Temeria to the north, and Nasser, which was just conquered by the Nilfgaard Empire, to the south. kingdom. Now the Kingdom of Nasser has become the Province of Nasser.
The Kingdom of Cintra protects the southern wing of the northern kingdoms and was very powerful during the reign of Queen Calanthe. But unfortunately, this kingdom located on the south bank of the Yaruga River is about to bear the brunt of the target of the southern invaders.
Emperor Emhyr will not miss old friendships. Besides, he has always been resentful towards Calanthe, his mother-in-law. Just like many protagonists who like to slap people in the face and seek revenge, my hateful mother-in-law looked down on me and was unwilling to marry her daughter to me. , then just wait and see, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don’t bully young people into poverty!
Emperor Emhyr never seemed to regret killing his wife Pavetta. After he hypocritically said, "When my Pavetta died, the sky cried for her, I will not let the sky cry for me." , after becoming emperor, he married the new princess Aine Dermot not long after.
He really wanted an heir to stabilize the morale of the military and the people, but as a result, he seemed to have been punished by God. He still had no heirs for so many years... This made him involuntarily miss his two daughters, Shilia and Olivia. Ya.
Especially the latter. He really didn't care about his children at the beginning, but he was very impressed by the genius' little daughter. If he really can't have any more children in the future, it might be better to let Olivia inherit his throne. The most suitable choice.
At this time, knowing that the powerful Nilfgaard Empire was about to march north, Queen Calanthe of Cintra could only use the most helpless but very practical way to deal with it, and that was marriage.
Calanthe has also considered the marriage partner, which is the Kingdom of Verden across the river from Sintra. This kingdom has a strong military and its prince Christian is also quite famous in the military. As long as the two countries marry, it will be possible. With the power of the horn, resist the edge of the Nilfgaard Empire!
When Calanthe's intention to marry was sent to the Kingdom of Verdon, its prince Christine was as ecstatic as if he had won the first prize, because he named the "Pearl of the North" the little princess of Sintra. Livia, as for Siliya and so on, he doesn’t even want it!
Calanthe is still partial, and she always looks down on Olivia, so she feels that sending this younger granddaughter out for marriage is a rare contribution to the motherland.
While Calanthe was actively planning for a marriage, Siliya and Olivia were temporarily not in Cintra, but in the Skellige Islands.
Since Olivia recognized Cratchit, the nephew of King Bran, the Lord of the Skellige Islands, as her father, Olivia would stay in the Skellige Islands for a while almost every year. In fact, it was just to brush her face and tell everyone , she also has the right to inherit the islands...
And Xilia, who was almost conjoined with her sister, would naturally accompany her sister, so the two of them spent their childhoods in the Kingdom of Sintra and the Skellige Islands.
The ones who have the best relationship with Olivia and Silia are naturally Cratchit’s two biological children, Halma and Caris.
It was winter, and the many lakes on the Skellige Islands were frozen. Halma began to show off in front of Olivia how good he was at skating, and he had also achieved unparalleled records in the skating game challenges over the years. Can be broken.
Halma should be regarded as Olivia's unrelated brother. He inherited Cratchit's brown-red hair color and was known for his bravery since he was a child.
Olivia privately complained to her sister that Halma was a hot-blooded idiot with well-developed limbs and a simple mind. He could not be more reckless. Should we say that he is worthy of being the eldest son of "The Wild Boar of the Sea" Krachi...
Olivia, the drama queen, of course has another character in front of Halma, that is, a gentle sister who admires her brother's bravery.
Halma compared the attitudes of his real sister Caris and adopted sister Olivia towards him. He only felt that there was a saying in this world that was absolutely true - it is better to have a biological sister than to have a sexual sister!
Therefore, Halma always likes to pretend to be cool in front of her adopted sister Olivia, and then she can get the admiring eyes of her adopted sister. However, if she pretends to be in front of Caris, she will be ruthlessly treated by her real sister. She complained, or even slapped her in the face to stop this brainless brother from lowering her IQ.
And now when Halma was posting some skating game records, Xilia, who had tolerated him for a long time, finally couldn't help but provoked: "Halma, how about we compete and see if I can break it?" Your record.”
Halma said boldly: "Xiliya, I am too lazy to do such unnecessary things. There is no suspense about the outcome."
However, Olivia spoke at this time, and she said with a smile: "Whoever wins, I will dedicate my first kiss to him."
Halma, who just seemed unmotivated to compete with Xiliyya, was full of anticipation and said loudly: "Xiliyya, let's compete!"
Xilia's eyes became horrified and turned into a death glare, staring at Halma. Why is there always someone trying to steal her sister!
Halma seemed to be too late and ran to the noble and elegant little princess Olivia. Looking at her stepsister's seductive pink lips, she swallowed and confirmed: "Weiya, you just said Does it count?"
"Of course it counts!" Olivia looked like she was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously, because she had full confidence in Xilia.
