Chapter 8 How to Kill Your Other Half
In the 263rd year of the Sea Calendar, the Kingdom of Bradley was subjected to a popular uprising due to tyranny. Angry people stormed the palace and stoned six members of the royal family to death...
In the 321st year of the Sea Calendar, the King of Yaroslavl was burdened with heavy taxes, causing widespread suffering among his people. At his birthday banquet, his servants discovered that where the cake should have been placed, the king's head had somehow been replaced...
In the year 456 of the Sea Calendar, the Queen of the Kingdom of Cleria burned down a village due to madness, and was eventually burned alive by the angry people...
In the year 569 of the Sea Calendar, the extravagant lifestyle of the royal family of the Kingdom of Vanila incurred the wrath of the people, who couldn't even afford black bread. They were imprisoned in a sunless cellar, provided with meager rations. The once-high-ranking royals fought fiercely for food in the prison, ultimately leading to infighting and cannibalism...

"Lady Galette, don't you feel uncomfortable reading this?"
After class, the other princes and princesses left happily, but as usual, Garette would stay and study a little longer.
However, she didn't seem interested in discussing the issues today, and instead read books by herself.
Out of curiosity, Peters secretly glanced at what Garrett was reading, which made him feel slightly embarrassed.
"Why do you say that?"
Garrett gently put the book down and looked at the somewhat uneasy old man with her bright eyes.
"The content above is a bit cruel."
“Teacher, if you think the contents of this book are cruel, then you are underestimating the Queen and her ministers. Their methods are far more terrifying than those of tyrants.”
Garette waved her hand dismissively; in this family, her values had long been shattered.
That doesn't seem to be wrong.
Peters somewhat agreed; by now, he had gotten used to Garrett saying some unconventional things.
He didn't mind this. Since coming here, he had indeed been a bit lonely and increasingly distant from the lives of normal people. Only when he communicated with Garette did he feel a little calmer.
Although it's not very obvious from her behavior, Garrett's thinking is close to that of a normal person.
Just as she said, it's interesting to do the craziest things with the most rational mind.
"I just wanted to see what would happen to us if the Kingdom of Totto Lands were destroyed."
"So, what have you figured out?"
"Unfortunately, no. But to be honest, if that day ever came, I think we brothers and sisters would be killed one by one by these horrific methods of killing. Perhaps even worse. You know, when it comes to torturing people, civilians are a bit lacking; we are the professionals."
"You've made it sound a little scary."
"Well, I have good news for you. Given your age, you should be dead before the country falls. You'll most likely have a peaceful old age and won't suffer too much." Garrett seemed to have delivered some good news.
Wow! That's great news!
Peters was both amused and exasperated.
This can be seen as Galette thinking of herself.
This method is a bit unusual.
However, he soon came across the title of another book that left him both amused and exasperated.
The book is titled "How to Cleverly Kill Your Spouse".
"Look at it now, isn't it a bit too early?"
Although the more terrifying aspect is "killing one's own spouse," this is Charlotte, so nothing is surprising. Therefore, Peters still focused his attention on the "spouse."
"It's not too early, after all, I heard some new information today."
For example, the Queen is already planning a marriage alliance. The marriage partner isn't herself, since she was recently married and has just been diagnosed with pregnancy; her next marriage partner will have to wait until after the baby is born. The marriage partners she now wants are her adult children.
Charlotte Linlin is now a pirate, but she is also a queen. With a bunch of children, how can she maximize her benefits? Of course, it's by establishing marriage alliances with foreign countries.
Moreover, Garrett felt that, based on her own speculation, it would probably be more to her liking to marry off her daughter in exchange for some benefits than to have her son marry a woman she didn't know and who wasn't related to her by blood.
Judging from the original work, the older woman did indeed prefer to have her daughters marry into the family; Pralinene, Chiffon, Lola, and Bren were all representative examples.
Although there's a slight age difference, who knows when she might suddenly go crazy and decide to get married on her own?
Even so, isn't your concern a bit premature?
“My mother, you can’t judge her by common sense. You should know that many times she acts on instinct and hardly ever thinks things through.”
Charlotte Linlin has no political ability and her passion is not in cultivation.
If only she were a little smarter, if only she were a little stronger.
Even if she was cruel, Garette felt that it was not something that could not be tolerated.
However, her flaw was so fatal that Garrett couldn't pretend to be oblivious.
Therefore, she had no hope for the Queen and no intention of risking her life for her.
If she were to do something truly outrageous, such as marrying herself off, Garrett certainly wouldn't sit idly by.
Since the road ahead seemed hopeless, she naturally wouldn't fight to the bitter end, but rather choose a better place for herself.
As for overthrowing her, that's even less necessary.
Lingling is neither smart nor hardworking, yet she still became the Emperor of the Sea, which is enough to show that she truly possesses extraordinary talent and potential.
As for me now, it would probably be a long time before I could overthrow her.
By then, Totland might have already been destroyed.
Besides, there are quite a few of her brothers and sisters who cause her trouble.
not worth it.
"Although the Queen does have many shortcomings, her strength is indeed immense, and she has grand ambitions. These can be considered her strengths, after all, no one in the world is perfect."
"But her methods were a bit too violent. If I am rational thinking plus crazy actions, then without a doubt, my mother is crazy actions plus crazy thinking. Just to satisfy my mother's wishes, my brother Perospero has to run around and he might anger her if he is not careful. He knows very well that as long as he makes his mother angry, all his previous achievements will not count. In the end, our existence is just a tool for her to achieve her goals."
