Bab 118: Enigmatic Figure

"After I'm done conquering the northern part of the Flaise continent, I'll be moving on to the west next. That means the Elesia Kingdom, Christina. I hope that, by the time that happens, you're still not my enemy," the Duchess stated with an air of confidence.

The Princess, still a princess and not yet the monarch, knew that she was not the primary target of the Duchess's ambitions for now. However, she understood that once she stepped into the spotlight as the ruler, she would become a threat in the Duchess's eyes, and the Duchess wouldn't hesitate to eliminate her.

"I will become your enemy, whether I like it or not, whether you like it or not. For the sake of my kingdom, I will stop you. No – I will kill you," the Princess declared, her determination evident in her eyes.

The Duchess smiled at the Princess's unwavering resolve, seemingly amused by the confrontation. "You're quite the fierce one, Princess," she remarked.
