The alliance between Northlyn and Princess Royal of Lyndaria was inevitable. Even though Princess Royal Helena knew Northlyn had ulterior motives, there was nothing she could do. As the Northlyn envoy put it, looking across the Nine Provinces Realm, neither Northlyn nor Princess Royal Helena could find a better ally.
"I don't know myself—am I inviting the wolf into the house, or driving a tiger to swallow a wolf?" Princess Royal Helena sat on the dragon throne, her alluring face dignified and commanding, eyes sharp and aura overwhelming...
Northlyn had its own plans, and Princess Royal Helena was no different. Northlyn wanted to devour Lyndaria and split the Nine Provinces Realm in two to counter Eastlyn, and Princess Royal Helena wanted the same.
Whether it's inviting the wolf into the house or driving a tiger to swallow a wolf—it all depends on whose skills are superior.
Princess Royal Helena and Northlyn each harbored their own schemes, but even so, they formed an alliance. Their first battle after joining forces was to attack the half of Lyndaria held across the river.
With the alliance between the two kingdoms sealed, the one most affected wasn't Eastlyn, but Prince Titus of Lyndaria.
Though Northlyn and Princess Royal Helena had successfully allied, no one could predict the outcome when two people with hidden agendas join forces. Northlyn wanted to swallow Lyndaria whole, but Princess Royal Helena was no easy opponent.
Whatever their intentions, they first had to seize the lands in Prince Titus's hands before moving to the next step.
"Your Majesty, the fifty thousand elite troops you requested will arrive under your command in fifteen days. These fifty thousand will follow your orders, but the specifics will be decided by our Northlyn officers." After signing the alliance treaty, the Northlyn envoy was in high spirits, his words light and relaxed.
Princess Royal Helena was in a good mood too. With a graceful smile, she replied, "Of course. How Northlyn fights and how many die or are wounded is none of my concern. I only tell them what needs to be done."
