I don't know who you are talking about as Cristiana received the orders in person and the princess only talked about the royal crest on the seal.How did she manage to read something while seal is unbroken?
It is actually following the novel pretty closely on this specific part.This story is making less and less sense as it goes. I think the author realized he doesn't know where he's going with it, so he's just making stuff up as he goes.
