Chapter 629 - Warmth (1/2)

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

As the saying goes, “you can never predict the future.”

Geralt had lost count of the times he had pictured his first meeting with the “Destined Child’ Cirilla. In such a vast world, meetings that came and went were as fleeting as the change of wind.

No matter what it was, being a princess would always be better than following him in the path of a Witcher…

Geralt did not expect to be at the end of a whip in his first meeting with Cirilla. What kinky turn of events was this?

The legendary witcher rolled out of the way, evading the lash. Cirilla did not follow up, but instead, swiftly dismounted and took her sister in her arms. Based on the warmth in her face, it was clear that she only wanted to protect her sister.

At that moment, Geralt really wanted nothing more than to thank Olivia. If it was not for Olivia explaining everything that had just happened, going so far as even to push all the credit to Geralt, Geralt would have been ripped to shreds by Cirillia’s entourage.

Geralt was a highly competent swordsman, but he would not stand a chance against an entire squadron of knights. Once he was surrounded, it was game over for him.

This was not a world where single men leveled entire countries.

Although she now had a clearer understanding of things, Cerilla still remained on guard. She may not have noticed it yet, but her long years with her sister had developed a fierce sense of possession over her sister that could almost be classified as yandere.

As he saw that Cirilla was living well in Cintra, and had everything laid out neatly for her, he decided not to invoke the Law of Surprise.

He had an audience with Calanthe and promptly left without bringing Cirilla along with him.

Geralt was more selfless than one could imagine. He did not wish for Cirilla to go through the tiring and bitter days that he did.

For a long time, he did not approach Cirilla, but he instead got to know more about her sister, Olivia.

Was this because of Olivia being a loli sorceress? Geralt could not stop thinking about it. For some reason, throughout his lifetime, he had attracted numerous sorceresses to his side.

In Olivia’s case, she had gotten him addicted to the role of being a stay-at-home dad. He even wondered if the Law of Surprise had chosen wrongly. If not for that, Cirilla would not be treating him so coldly, and Olivia would not be treating him the other way around, even if she always said “I hate you.”

As Geralt took his leave, Olivia had brought him for a quick stop at her alchemy lab. It had been left behind by Vilgefortz and Lydia. In a way, we could say that Olivia had inherited the lab from them.

Under Geralt’s curious gaze, she decided to show him how to prepare the Foglet Dedoction. She showed him each of the steps and even let him synthesis his own samples.
