Chapter 621 - Unexpected Behaviour (2/2)

Lydia even hoped that Olivia could enroll into Aretuza, the Sorceress Academy on Thanedd Island. After all, Olivia might not share her elemental affinities. She had so much to learn…

With the game system on hand, Olivia could be the master of everything… if she had enough skill points.

That night, Vilgefortz and Lydia spent some time in private. Nothing fancy, just some bedtop sparring.

“Today I taught Olivia of meditation.” Lydia spoke each word carefully, as if she was still distracted by her thoughts.

“Oh? Her bloodline considered, it would be a miracle if she could meditate at seven. Having her do it now would teach her nothing but disappointment.” Vilgefortz took an elegant sip of his wine.

“Well, she did it today,” Lydia seems to ignore the fact Vilgefortz was her superior.

“What? Impossible, she’s just an ordinary mage…” Vilgefortz ceased his comments on his apprentice. She was unpredictable. Still, he had plenty of time to deal with her.

Lydia smiled gracefully. She hoped that such a life would last longer. To her, this was bliss.

Unfortunately, Vilgefortz was about to shatter her dreams. “Emhyr finally agreed with my plans. It has been too long we stayed in this boring Cintra.”

“Heading back to Nilfgaadian?”

“That’s not all, Cintra’s prince, Dony has to die. He will become the prince of Nilfgaadian Empire, Emhyr…”

“I don’t care about him, I just want to know, what about Olivia?”

“Her? She does not matter in our plan. Cirilla must follow her father.”

“I don’t want to be separated from Olivia. I’d like to see her off to Aretuza,” Lydia was dead serious.

Vilgefortz thought about it for a moment. His cold-blooded secretary had changed.

Sigh. Women.

“Alright, we will take her with us. She could be an adorable pet, don’t you think?” Vilgefortz smiled, as if he was still in control of everything. Such a charming man.

Translation Note:

[1] Frederick Charles “Freddy” Krueger (/ˈkruːɡər/) is a character from the A Nightmare on Elm Street film series. He first appeared in Wes Craven’s A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) as a burnt serial killer who uses a glove armed with razors to kill his victims in their dreams, causing their deaths in the real world as well. In the dream world, he is a powerful force and almost completely invulnerable. However, whenever Freddy is pulled into the real world, he has normal human vulnerabilities.

[2] Tonicquill (ED): I personally believe that this is a reference to a line from the movie “The Usual Suspects:” The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist.
