Chapter 702 - The Path Of An Empress Regnant, Complete! (2/2)

Fortunately, the Empire was not interested in the barren islands. If not, with the Nilfgaardian Empire’s navy, even the Skellige Isles’ men might not amount to much.

Those who hated the war were more supportive of Hjalmar’s sister. They felt that she was a more suitable person when it came to bringing prosperity to the island. They did not have confidence in a meat-headed, reckless man who did all he could to provoke the powerful Emperor.

However, their fears were now assuaged. Nilfgaard has fallen. Of course, the Empire’s citizens did not feel that their country, as the strongest country on the continent, had truly been destroyed. The country carried a new name; its throne carried a new ruler… No big deal. Empress Regnant Olivia had unified the entire continent, so the entire continent is the Nilfgaardian Empire!

Everyone now knew of Olivia’s abilities. She was the perfect ruler. And now, she and Cirilla’s daughter – Artoria bore all her regal markings.

This talented genius child was already dreaming of becoming the perfect king since birth. She was just like her ‘father,’ Her Majesty Empress Olivia.

Of course, Artoria looked up to her ‘mother’ Cirilla as well. Therefore, as she was looking forward to being a perfect king, at the same time, she hoped to learn the art of swordplay from her ‘mother’.

Ultimately, Olivia tuned out her emotions. She left Skellige Isles with an ultimatum. They could either surrender or be destroyed.

The Empress Regnant sent the nobles in the Skellige Isles trembling in fear. Olivia had already consolidated all of the warships in the Northern Kingdoms and the Nilfgaardian Empire. At the same time, she was backed by weapons that did not even seem like belongs in this world. How would the brainless meatheads in the Skellige Isle be supposed to defend themselves from Olivia?

Based on the trend, traitors should start making their appearances at this point. They would attempt to appeal to Olivia’s rationality. Well, she did have the right to succeed the Skellige Isles. Her earlier act of recognizing Crach as her father, or in other words, as the granddaughter of Queen Calanthe, gave her a stake in the claim over the Skellige Isles. Even though it was a weak claim, she still had Hjalmar as her brother.

Still, what claim would the Empress Regnant need? If anything, that weak claim was a good reason to wage war!

As Olivia unified the continent, she did not know how much of a problem she was causing to the continent’s jurisprudence…

The Skellige Isles surrendered without much resistance. The old King Bran lacked the spine to resist Olivia. Calanthe, who used to think little of Olivia did not know whether to cry or laugh.

Originally, Calanthe had thought that Olivia’s only redeeming trait was her beautiful appearance. It would be the best for her as a bargaining chip through marriage. Yet now, the entire world was beneath her feet!

On the day when the Empress Regnant visited the isles, Calanthe could only bow down in reverence to her granddaughter…

What a twist of fate!

Just like this, Olivia’s quest as Empress Regnant was complete. Following that, she received a new quest. The world was about to face an invasion from ‘otherworldly beings.’ Their target was Cirilla.

Olivia decided to retreat from the Source World. Something like a monster’s invasion was nothing much for a ruler of the world.
