Chapter 695 - The Rise of Lion Cub (1/2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Olivia and Cirilla became legends after the “Tide of Thanedd Island.” Finally, Cirilla was no longer eclipsed by the magnificence of her little sister!
It was Olivia who had fabricated rumors and spun tales to pass the merit to her sister. Vilgefortz was no match for her, yet she did not want her ability to be known. Management and leadership was her cup of tea, rather than brutal battles.
How could a civilized leader behave like a barbarian, slaughtering those who opposed her with bare hands? She needed a knight in shining armor, someone who could ensure her safety and kill a legendary source mage such as Lord Vilgefortz. Cirilla fitted the bill.
With help from her sister, Cirilla’s name rose to renown. In the past, she was only known as “Olivia’s sister.” Now she was called the “Lion Cub of Cintra.” Nobody dared to challenge the one who took Vilgefortz’s head!
Of course, all this was all thanks to the reputation that Lord Vilgefortz had built for himself. He had started off as a famous source mage among spellcasters, single-handedly defeating at least twenty high-ranked source mages. He had manhandled Triss and Yennefer to such an extent that Yennefer had walked away from it without her sight…
Through all these battles, Vilgefortz was assumed to be the Number One Character across the land. People would shiver when they heard his name, especially spellcasters. Who would stand and face such a terrible man?
Who would have thought that Vilgefortz would be defeated by two young sisters, Cirilla and Olivia? Most of all, Cirilla was the one who took his life?
Yes, Cirilla was swift and pounced at her opponent’s weak spots. She was a good match against strong opponents such as Lord Vilgefortz. Still, Lord Vilgefortz was known for his undisputed close combat mastery. It was terrifying!
Now, Cirilla actually eclipsed the White Wolf Geralt. He was a legendary witcher who was quickly defeated by Vilgefortz with a staff and had helplessly watched him fight his two daughters. Geralt was not someone to be trifled with, but rumors had oversold him. One would think that he was a deity in the trappings of man. With such a defeat, people started to doubt if he could actually jump from two stories and land without getting hurt.
Cirilla, the “Lion Cub of Cintra,” was no small fry. All she needed now was fighting experience. With her “blink” and fine swordsmanship, nobody would stand against her in single combat!
Every leader was shocked by the death of Vilgefortz, including the leader of Scoia’tael, Francesca Findabair Not long ago she had had a great night with Vilgefortz in a ball. They both shared the same level of charm and strength.
That’s right, Francesca was a founding member of Lodge of Sorceresses, and was known to be the fairest of them all.[1] She was a pureblood elf with dark gold hair and beautiful blue eyes. As a sorceress, she was capable and magnificent, having powerful elven spells at her disposal.
Olivia, the Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms, was now known for her leadership. Her beauty had often been compared with Francesca. Those who prefer mature ladies would choose Francesca, while those who preferred youthful and energetic women would choose Olivia.
Francesca could be cruel at times. She had once said that “To live in peace, we first must kill. This is the cruel finale of human’s nature.” [2]
