Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Everyone could not help but admit that Olivia’s timing was impeccable! She had struck while the prey was weak and weary Both the Northern Kingdoms and the Nilfgaardian Empire were barely standing as it was.
Every single person in the entire continent now knew Olivia’s name. Her monopolized goods were sold almost everywhere in the entire continent.
The Nordlings had long known Olivia as the ‘Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms.’ It could even be said that Olivia was the only woman in the world with portraits of her own…
The citizens of the Nilfgaardian Empire only learned of Olivia as Emperor Emhyr started spreading news about her, saying that she was the Emperor’s biological daughter or whatnot. They concluded that she was indeed the Emperor’s daughter by looking at her appearance and hair color. This finally explained why the Emperor favored her so extensively. He had even hinted that Duchess Anna of Toussaint bestowed a Countess title upon Olivia.
In conclusion, people were highly fond of the most beautiful human princess who was very likely to inherit the vast Nilfgaardian Empire.
That’s right. Olivia was not aware of all this chatter concerning her name. She was called the most beautiful ‘human princess,’ as it would be less controversial. After all, if she was said to be the most beautiful woman, then there was still the leader of the Scoia’tael, ‘Francesca,’ Queen of the Elves. Well, everyone knew that when beauty reaches a certain level, all that was left for comparison would be talents and abilities. Beauty was subject to every individual’s interpretation.
Interestingly, at some point, some people felt that Olivia’s guardian knight, the young and powerful witcher, Cirilla, was actually not far off from Olivia!
That’s right. In the past two years, Cirilla’s appearance had taken a radical change. If Yennefer originally ridiculed her as an ‘ugly duckling,’ then the current her would be a white swan!
Cirilla had also found a new purpose in life other than being with her sister. That was, being a free-spirited and unrestrained witcher.
Of course, while being a witcher, she continued gathering intelligence for her sister. She never let her down even once.
Olivia had even developed magical equivalent to phones. She could assign quests to the witchers wandering in foreign lands whenever she received any new quests.
When Cirilla witnessed the extent of Olivia’s abilities during the battle against Vilgefortz, she was assured about Olivia’s safety since then. Of course, she still stuck to her sister most of the time, living in a happy world that only contained the two of them. The rest of her time was spent exploring the continent, hunting monsters, and collecting Gwent cards…
It was amazing. As Olivia’s reputation grew, Cirilla became lucky enough to acquire an Olivia Gwent card!
This Gwent card was undoubtedly a hero card. A gold border lined it. It was a Neutral card that was available to all factions. Her combat points were 10. It may not be as high as Geralt and Cirilla’s 15 combat points, but she had several unique abilities. It could even directly cripple her opponent’s combat points!
This way, if her opponent’s deck had a card with the highest combat points of 10, Olivia’s Gwent card could instantly kill off that opponent’s card. At the same time, her very own combat points would take in that 10 points!
Those who were familiar with the Gwent cards would instantly note that this epic card was a broken game-changer. As long as this Gwent card was present, it was a compulsory for just about any possible deck.
