Chapter 653 - Awkward (1/2)

Rebuilding Kaer Morhen, expanding the witcher’s influence, unifying the land, becoming an empress. None of these main quests coincide with each other.

Still, one would surely need their base, and that base had to be firm and unbreachable. For Olivia, that base would be the Kaer Morhen.

Olivia’s goals involved global domination. Cirilla’s was much simpler – be a mighty witcher, protect her sister.

Geralt and Vesemir highly admired Cirilla’s thirst for power. They may not allow Cirilla to go through the Trials of Grass, not just yet. They compromised by putting her through the sort of training Witchers underwent.

They were shocked to see her completing whatever form of training they could throw at her without a hitch. Her talent for the sword was admirable.

At the same time, the Elder Blood in her veins made it so that she did not require the Trials of Grass, but still have access to supernatural strength, agility, and honed senses that others her age would never achieve.

Only the Elder Blood was capable of this. The Trial of Grasses was plainly something meant only for those who did not have the blood to achieve such mutation, adding to the fact that the mortality rate was ridiculously high.

Olivia did not waste her time with the sword or her tumbling parkour abilities. Speaking of which, Geralt and Cirilla even challenged each other in a parkour competition. That was how Cirilla got to see Geralt as her father.

During her time at Kaer Morhen, Cirilla’s heart started mending itself. Not only was her sister there with her, she even got to feel the love of a true father from Geralt and Vesemir.

And thus, Cirilla had started to treat the place as her home.

Olivia already had the “nameless maiden Su Shi”‘s sword skills and parkour ability. There was no need to waste her time to join them in training. She would rather learn magic if she could.

That’s right, at Kaer Morhen, there were quite a few books regarding magic. Who had asked their “father” to be such a witch-slayer? Some of them had such special treatment from him that Kaer Morhen had reserved some rooms specifically for them.

Although they used the words “true love,” there was no way they could withstand the cold and broken down Kaer Morhen.

These two witches were Yenefer and Triss. The two of them were close friends, but by pure chance, they both had fallen for Geralt, creating a love triangle.

Geralt had already seen a fair bit of Olivia’s magic, and could tell that she really liked magic. And so, Geralt got Triss to teach the little princess some magic.

Cirilla had also revealed her magic capabilities during her sword training, but she had been unable to control it unlike her sister Olivia. Such bursts of uncontrolled magic worried Geralt and Vesemir, who were both unfamiliar with magic. Vesemir had even suggested letting Cirilla take the Trial of Grasses. It was very risky, but if successful, she would become a full-fledged witcher, allowing them to assign her to actual training.
