Chapter 645 - A Simple Quest (2/2)

The sorceress returned to the carriage for a brief moment and came out again to convey Olivia’s intention to speak to Cahir.

Once again, Olivia exercised her flawless acting skills. She realized that the sorceress was treating her with great respect, but she could not figure out why. If her master acted in the same manner, perhaps she could use him to do her bidding.

Olivia was also good at ad libbing. Leaving a good impression in someone’s mind was no more than drinking a glass of water.

Cahir rushed into the carriage when he heard that “The Pearl of Northern Kingdoms” wanted to see him. It was only polite for him to remove his helmet in front of a lady. He was one of the best-looking men in the Nilfgaardian Empire.

Despite being the captor of Princess Olivia, his attitude towards her was courteous and respectful…

Together with his sorceress, he had concluded that Princess Olivia was a patriotic noble who would rather die with her country. Cahir did not want to provoke her into seeking death.

It was easier to control people who feared death. Those who would give away their lives had nothing to lose.

If Oliva learned of this, she would have burst into laughter. She might be one of Cintra’s nobles, but she could care less about Cintra. Why would a player fall in love with a fabricated country?

Gamers would only love a gentle female character in a game. People only called themselves fans of some character, but they would never declare that he or she was a fan of some fictional country.

The only patriot in the game was Calanthe, the ruler of Cintra…

The sincere respect from Cahir calmed the storm in Olivia’s heart. It was not an appropriate time for her to act as a soft and fragile princess. Instead, she gave off a calm, calculated demeanor, a matured noble member of the ruling family.

Cahir was surprised. She definitely did not act her age…

Cahir promised Princess Olivia that he would secure her safety until her meeting with Emperor Emhyr.

It seemed like her “father” was doing great. If she did not manage to build her own kingdom, perhaps she could follow his footsteps back to Nilfgaardian Empire and inherit the throne?

Of course, her sister Cirilla had to be lost or dead for that to happen. She was the true heir before Olivia.

However, Olivia could not simply ignore Cirilla.

“I know where my sister is,” Olivia told Cahir right after she was sure that he was a trusted servant of her father.

Her words changed the expression on Cahir’s face.
