Id imagine that Kane is a big deal in most circles, so her husband told her while he was still well.
I can't agree with you about the second part of your statement. On the contrary, after what I saw in Ch7, playing through the "Good Dom" track, and in later scenes, including the little scene of Kane(Dom) and Olivia after taking her shower, and the scene where at the end of Ch7 Elena is thinking while standing in front of the mirror, only further pushed me to think that Tess is moving very smoothly but surely in the direction where Kane and Olivia's romance becomes reality. And this phrase of Elena's in the conversation with Olivia almost openly hints at it.
Kane (dom) is not a slave, so he must be the one to turn this whole situation upside down, becoming either the second Alexander (one of the likely outcomes of the EvilDom track, in my opinion) or the just ruler (GoodDom) of this empire, supported by an equal or even obedient wife-to-be from among the challenger families Karlsson and DeKock.
At least no one will say that there's no romance in this game or that these scenes aren't beautiful (just think of the airy scene with Veronica or the equally beautiful scene with Junko), he-he. I'm sure there will be more romance in future chapters.
Only "winning" condition seems to be a male heir, Kane being father and any of the Karlson sisters being the mother...
I would be shocked if it didnt come down to Kane and what he wants. Especially on the dom route. Otherwise, there's no reason for any of the sisters to seduce him. That and the fact that I believe that Veronica will respect his wishes and she has at the least two votes on lock (three if we include a chosen sister thats not Veronica).
There is always a reason for the other Karlson sisters to try seduce him. The moment it's clear one of the sisters or Olivia seems to hit it off well enough with Kane to expect a succesful Gambit winner, the others will increase their seduction efforts. Same time any of them expecting their chances to be low or non excistent, they might try to even the playing field in other ways.
Not really if it was up to just the board they could just tie him down and wait on the results. If it comes down to Kane ruling with whichever sister, it will come down to his choice. Do you think that if kane is deemed fit to rule they'll just force him to get with whichever sister they deem fit? Their decision might matter with a sub kane but def not with a dom kane
I don't have an answer to that question, but I can assume that in this world such bracelets could be data carriers associated with the wearer's biometric data. They might even be able to read individual indicators from the wearer's body for additional assessment of the wearer's condition.
Delilah doesn't have to have all of Gambit's information, she could just be a cog in the system, doing what the head of the family (Cynthia) instructs her to do.
We don't know that either, but I agree that at this point, the greatest bearer of knowledge about Gambit is Callista (Gambit Queen?) herself and Veronica. Perhaps a serious body of data is still known to Alessandra, as a likely candidate for the "second ninja" who has spoken to the Gambit Queen in the past.
And who's to say that this is the exact bracelet Kane Dom possesses? Suffice it to recall that gaining access to Kane's bracelet is almost impossible.
In case the Gambit conditions are met all power goes to the male heir, until he is ready to rule his parents will have full control. So no, as soon that happens any chair on the board is effectively powerless.
Which is why I said "still thinks... that that's all she ever will be." Olivia has the knowledge and even wants to tell him, but Kane doesn't know it yet.
A rose by any other name would smell just as sweet. Until Kane has "graduated" from the program and the sisters can not demote him at will or based on certain criteria, he is a slave who has more freedom than some of the others.
I love that scene with Veronica which is why I made it into a signature simulating them being at a planetarium like they discuss.
Ah, the princess (princesseyes+ variable) perhaps? (Lola could be Kane's sister?)
If it's not Nadia then yeah, my second guess would be one of those three servants, with Lola the most likely candidate. We'll see what we see when we see it.
princesseyes variable seems to track Olivia's sexual attraction to Kane, I don't really get how that's relevant here?)
Was thinking in the line of Calista being the Gambit Queen, Princess being the daughter... Did not yet assume that variable was tied to Olivia, got points on several occasions but certainly not with Olivia present in every event. Ah well, learned something
A good dom on the Junko romance path gets the option to join the 'resistance', but equally an evil Kane might want to burn it all down around the Karlssons and DeKocks' rotting corpses.Guys, none of you consider the possibility that a purely good Kane will simply break the system, both corporations with the slave revolution and not stay with any of the sisters...
I don't see an evil Kane blowing up the possibility of having all the power
That'd be my preferred ending. Kane, Seth, and Olivia killing everyone and their dog and riding off on a trandem bike like The Goodies, whistling a merry tune.
However, this does not mean that if Kane Dom can win this Gambit, he will not be able to make his own decisions on most issues. After all, we mustn't forget who the MC is in the game. Even in the "Karlsson_Group_relationships" that Tess posted, the same Olivia is only listed as Olivia Karlsson ( default sister name), not even as the 2nd MC. So personally, I have no doubt that a smart Kane Dom could succeed and rule this empire for the next 18 years with one of the Karlsson sisters, not excluding Olivia.
