Chapter 170 - Fooling Olivia...

However, Brina just smiled inside. 

Later, Queen Elora left as well. Her presence is needed in the next court meeting. 

However, Eliina stayed back where the Seven Ladies are now there. They are just having a simple talk.. more like showing off to each other. 

Brina sat down in the garden, little away from them.. observing everyone. 

"Hello, sister-in-law." she said in a low voice as she sat down beside her. 

Brina got startled for a second but smiled warmly. "Hello, Princess." she said, not knowing exactly how to address Eliina. 

However, she smiled, remembering something. 

Eliina pouted cutely, her pout resembling Louis's. 

"Sister-in-law, you can call me Elle you know." she cutely said, not at all sounding like a nineteen years old girl. 

"I can? What if others listen?" Brina asked, chuckling. 

She has already heard enough from Louis about his little sister. It felt like she knew Eliina from very long. 

"Don't worry about that, sister-in-law. And, don't bother about that oldie also. She is always like that.. and, I hate her!" Eliina said. 

"She is the Mother Queen. I think you shouldn't tell others like this. You know?" Brina teased. 

"But you are not one of those 'others'. I hate her so much for trying to betrothal me to my enemy." Eliina pouted. 

Brina felt her heart melt when she heard her sweet words. All of a sudden she couldn't help but remember Will. 

"Enemy?" Brina chuckled. 

"Hmm.. yes. When I was having my jacking course in Alpha Academy I had an annoying classmate who is Prince of one of the Kingdom." Eliina started telling, but stopped when she and Brina, in sync, noticed Olivia who was about to try to eavesdrop. 

As if they had telepathy, Eliina and Brina got the exact same idea. 

"Princess.. you know that I am new to all of this. I didn't know that Charlotte was using me until you told me so." Brina's voice totally took an one eighty degree turn from confident to scared. 

"Lady Brina, you are being used by Charlotte for her revenge. As my brother and Charlotte had a break up, she is here for revenge, so be careful." Eliina said. 

Saying so, she stood up and walked away in another direction. 

Brina remained seated, pretending to be scared. 

Meanwhile, Olivia who doesn't know the actual 'Brina' and how close she is to these siblings, smirked. 

'Now, be ready to become my play piece, Brina.' she thought and went away. 

It is only when Brina smiled inside. 

Play piece? Really? Haha.  

She is the game master here! Okay! 

...

"So, you guys used my name.. huh?" Charlotte asked Brina. 

It's already evening and Charlotte just came after talking with Eliina and Queen Elora. 

"Olivia appeared all in sudden and we couldn't simply change the topic, Char. So, we decided to use it to our advantage but couldn't think of anything except of this." Brina said, hugging Charlotte by her shoulders. 

"If I would have known more about Olivia, I would have thought of something else." Brina added. 

"Not a big deal, baby. You can use my name as much as you want." Charlotte giggled. 

"Queen Mother is problematic, isn't she? Even when our parents thought of engaging me and Louis, she didn't agree because I am from House of Landon. She wanted Katherine to get engaged to Louis because she is her second favorite after Olivia." Charlotte told. 

"Does she hold a grudge against House of Landon?" Brina asked. 

"Dunno." Charlotte told and at the same time, Hailey came inside with an Ipad in her hands. 

"Guys, the first public event is the day after tomorrow. I just got an email from Sir Martin." Hailey said, excited and nervous at the same time.  

Brina and Charlotte who were lazing on the couch, straightened their backs and moved a little, so Hailey could fit in between them. 

Hailey quickly sat down and opened the mail. 

"It's boat sailing." Hailey chuckled. 

"I thought something more complicated would happen." she added. 

Charlotte frowned and said, "Hailey, it isn't as easy as you think. It's about judging skills, quick reflex and work time. During this time of year, the sea breeze is unpredictable and to reach the end line, we have to change our sailing directions in a matter of seconds. It's all about your quick reflex." 

"And, Brina wouldn't be the only person on the boat. Her team.. which is you, me and Calvin. And, there will also be a surprising guest to monitor us. Brina has to take decisions in seconds of time and command her team. So, it's about her leadership qualities and quick judgement skills. These are some traits needed to be the Queen.. got it?" Charlotte asked Hailey who was visibly shocked. 

So much of meaning in a simple mere game. 

"Will we get to bring our own boats?" Hailey asked. 

"No. We have to select it from the boats in the dockyard. It's Brina's sole decision.. I mean her analysing skills. Sir Martin will brief the Ladies about the course they had to take to reach the end line. And, he will also give them some basic idea of how the sea breeze might change directions depending on the weather forecast. And, the sea breeze will be totally unpredictable because they will manipulate the air pressures." 

"Whoever is spontaneous enough and has fast analysing skills, they will be able to select their boats faster. The last person will be left with the worst boat and her winning chances will be very few." Charlotte said. 

"Gosh!! It's so damn tough and stressful ahh." Hailey said in shock. 

"One must be accustomed to stressful and tough circumstances to become an ideal Queen. You can't blame them tho." Charlotte told and shifted her attention to Brina.
