Olivia officially became Vilgefortz’s only apprentice. The in-game Database was updated with that information. The complicated history of this formidable “prestige master” was revealed in “character information” tab.

One of the Vilgefortz’s parents was a sorcerer. They had abandoned young Vilgefortz, who was later found by Druids of Kovirian Circle in the poor suburbs.[1][2] He was brought up and taught by the druids, living his life as a nomad alongside with them.

In an unexpected incident, Vilgefortz talent was discovered by other sorcerers. They invited him to join the brotherhood, which he had rudely rejected. Moments after turning them down, he had left the Druids community and wandered across the land. He became a soldier and a spy.

In the last chapter of his journey as a wanderer, he fell in love with another sorceress, who he left not long after.

In the Battle of Sodden Hill, he had commanded twenty-one sorcerers to fend off the invasion of Nilfgaaridan Empire. [3][4] Under his leadership, a truce was signed between the Northern Kingdoms and the Nilfgaardian Empire.

Since then, Vilgefortz of Roggeven became known across the world as a compassionate peacekeeper. [5] People would bow to him, no matter where he went.

Of course, he had intentionally built such an image…

A true antagonist was always far more righteous, compared to the protagonist. They understood the true power and influence of “righteousness.” Only a fool would mark himself down as wicked and evil.

Olivia read on. Years ago, he made a deal with Emhyr var Emreis, who was cursed by his father’s political enemy into the form of a hedgehog. Emhyr had prowled in the city of Cintra using the moniker “Duny, Urcheon of Erlenwald.”

Under the guidance of Vilgefortz, Duny had saved the king of Cintra, who later invoked the “Law of Surprise” to undo his curse.[6] The Princess of Cintra fell in love with Duny. They married and gave birth to Ciri, and a year later, Olivia…

It was clear now. Emhyr did not win the heart of her mother by charm, but as a side effect invoked by “Law of Surprise.” No wonder she never felt any love between her parents.

Perhaps her naive mother Pavetta still loved Emhyr, but Emhyr was too obsessed with his revenge. Nothing was more important than getting his throne back.

What an ambitious man! Olivia, who had Lady Zhao’s backing became impressed by his dedication and focus on his goal.

Olivia lacked compassion, just like much of these damaged souls. In her case, she could access the gaming system, so she knew that she was playing a game in a simulated world. Nothing in this game could last forever, why would she fell in love with anything?

The moment Vilgefortz took her under his wings, Oliva saw an increase in side missions. Vilgefortz curiosity towards Olivia’s capability had caused the upsurge of these missions. All these were challenges that sought to test her limits.

To Olivia, these were nothing but common questions of additional mathematics in high school. She soon collected a lot of skill points with ease.

Vilgefortz emphasized that one must first master the basic knowledge of magic foundation. Most sorcerers had incredible power within, but their knowledge limited the power of the magic cast.

Olivia passed all of VIlgefortz’s tests with outstanding results. Her master now truly pitied Olivia. If only Olivia had been born with a much stronger bloodline – she might have become a remarkable source sorceress, perhaps… No, it is better this way, she would not become a threat to his plans.

Vilgefortz soon realized what a fool he had been, training an apprentice who could potentially overpower him. He might have to make some changes to his plans.

Hence, he started manipulating Olivia into hating her own sister, Cirilia.

Olivia was at Vilgefortz’s potion lab. It was only logical for a sorceress to test the truth of magic and how it basically worked.

“Olivia, do not ever expect Cintra to acknowledge you as a genius. You will never be treated like Ciri. She is the chosen one. Your grandmother Queen Calanthe is not a fair person. Ciri is the only one who could inherit the throne. You are destined to be married to some man who would never be king, while Ciri could choose her prince at will.”
