Chapter 4: The Puppet Princess Of Rouvenstien
Violetta Arielle Rouvenstien, being a duke's daughter could also be considered a princess. Apart from the reason that her family holds great power, the main reason for her engagement to the Crown Prince was because she was a descendant of the First Saintess.
Having a daughter-in-law who might turn out to be a saintess would be a big help to the royal family. The reason was that the latter generations of the royal family were in decline. New and more powerful groups have been emerging, and they do not submit to the royals.
Even the public opinion of the Royal Family of Flavian Empire was not positive. On the surface, they were in power but areas of great commerce and more productiveness were in the control of the many aristrocrats under the Emperor. The treasury would be emptied soon if they kept focusing on extravagant banquets and celebrations, luxurious goods and showing off wealth.
So the Emperor made up a beautiful plan. He would make his legitimate son and the only daughter of a high-ranking duke get engaged. And then, the Rouvenstien Family would be tied to the Crown. Visions of great power and wealth will attract the greedy nobles who will then support the Emperor. And he wouldn't even need to bribe them for they would provide bribes and the soon-to-be empty treasury would be filled soon.
What a plan,killing three birds with one stone!
The princess who would later on become the Empress can be brainwashed from a young age. She can only move and talk if controlled,just like a puppet.
This was why Violetta was popularly known as 'The Puppet Princess Of Rouvenstien'.
Her family will provide the power and resources, the Crown will get the support, the treasury will be filled and the ultimate authority and control over power, wealth and resources will be enjoyed by the Royal Family.
If the puppet is broken or completely used, just throw it away and replace it with a new one.
Meaning, if Violetta exceeds her boundaries, just put a crime on her and her family's head and end their roles. Then replace with a willing new one and if they do the same, replace them again.
It would also serve as a warning to those who have ulterior motives and thoughts towards the throne.
Only the The Royal Family should hold the supreme authority.
It's a pity that no matter how much the Emperor schemes, he can't win against the experienced Violetta who has knowledge of the future.
Sorry for not updating in so long. I know I am making a excuse but I was lazing around and doing projects and working on two stories important to me. Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
