624 Ten Years Old (1/2)

The aftermath of the s.h.i.+pwreck incident slowly subsided, but the storm had not yet settled. Olivia, who had a new father, appeared to be even more disliked by her grandmother, Queen Calanthe. She felt that Olivia's actions meant something like 'recognizing a thief as your own father.'

No matter what, Crach, who was responsible for receiving the Princess of Cintra's family was also responsible for this loss.

Queen Calanthe was certain that Olivia's 'gentle' personality would never bring her anywhere in life. The only person who could succeed to the throne of the Kingdom of Cintra and rule over the Kingdom was her eldest grandchild – Cillira.

At first, Olivia began to receive a traditional standard of education together with Cirilla. However, such lessons did not benefit her. She had already learned much from Vilgefortz.

Therefore, she came up with an excuse of a 'frail const.i.tution' to skip on her cla.s.ses. In reality, she was reading from the magic books that Lydia had been left to her. She even started dabbling in Alchemy… If she had sufficient skill points, mastery was no problem.

To everyone, the little Princess Olivia who was originally a genius became completely useless after her parents' deaths. In stark contrast was Cirilla, who increasingly gave off the aura of an older sister.

If Cirilla did not have Olivia, the 'weak and delicate' younger sister, she might still have been the same as before; a brat, pampered by Queen Calanthe. Even if her parents' died, she could still grow up peacefully under her grandmother's wing.

Now, the 'weak and delicate' younger sister made Cirilla become mature than before. Everyone needed a reason to become stronger. Protecting your closed ones would be one of those reasons that were so awe-inspiring, righteous and incomparably great, glorious, and righteous.

The sisters became inseparable. When they were little, Cirilla had always set off Olivia with her mischief. Now Olivia was receiving the fruits of her efforts. She used her 'demure appearance' to bring out the best of Cirilla's strength.

Cirilla quickly rose up in ranks among the aristocratic children of her age. It was not her appearance that brought her there, which could not be compared to her sister's beauty.

Everyone knew that Cirilla, the strong Princess of Cintra had a very, very sore spot - her sister. If anyone ever remotely threw a slur at her sister's name, she would fly into rage. She would try her best to obtain anything her sister wanted, no matter how rare it was.

Many felt that Olivia, the younger sister, was too spoiled and pampered for her own good. In reality, Cirilla knew that her sister was putting up some sort of front.

In conclusion, as long as her sister was by her side, Cirilla felt unstoppable. Nothing would stand before them.

Perhaps this was what we call a 'sister complex.' In the past and present world and this boundless universe, who knows how many incredibly powerful people had a sister complex. They would destroy the world for their sister, or save the entire world for their sister. There was nothing odd about it - like eating and drinking.

Even though Olivia seemed pampered to other people, she drew in another form of attention. The potential-daughter-in-law-to-get-into-someone's-good-graces kind. Furthermore, if you add in Olivia's beauty and elegant aura, she formed the image of a perfect princess!

Luckily, her sister Cirilla was always around the corner. If not, some same-aged boys who definitely try to bully Olivia. That was the only way little boys knew how to express their emotions.

Six years went by in a flash, and Olivia was ten years old. The birthday that Queen Calanthe had held in honor of Cirilla's tenth year, anyone could see that she favored her more than anyone. It was as if Queen Calanthe had already set her eyes on Cirilla as the successor to the throne of the Kingdom of Cintra.

As Cirilla grew, her sister molded her into a sharp blade. No matter what world it was, no one should underestimate the manipulative abilities of Olivia (Lady Zhao).

If six years pa.s.sed by in the Source World, it would only be equivalent to three days in the real world. To, Zhao Youyue she was playing some cutting-edge VRRPG game. She was barely out of the game's first chapter. Her abilities as a child were limited. The curtains would unfurl as she approaches adolescence.

At ten-years-old, Olivia became drop-dead gorgeous. This was to be expected, as she carried the 'Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms' t.i.tle. The Princes of the Northern Kingdoms had their eyes set on this beautiful Princess of Cintra. Rumors had it that she was extremely gentle and courteous. Her only flaw would be her frail const.i.tution, which needed caring for...

Many Princes stepped up. They wanted to marry the 'Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms.'
