The reason for Francesca's guilty conscience was simple. Even Vilgefortz, an almost invincible sorcerer, had been defeated by Cirilla and Olivia. How could she possibly be a match for them?
Moreover, Kaer Morhen's power had indeed grown by leaps and bounds. Her Squirrel Gang was no match for Kaer Morhen. Under such circumstances, she had actually tried to coerce Yennefer. This was simply courting death!
Francesca was already thinking of ways to reconcile. She had no idea that Cirilla and Olivia could be this strong. As the adoptive parents of Cirilla and Olivia, Geralt the White Wolf and his love, Yennefer, would naturally benefit from them.
Other than Francesca, the leader of the Squirrel Faction, King Foltest of Temeria, who was the most talented and bold among the kingdoms of the Northern Realms, had also received the news that Vilgefortz had been killed by the two Princesses of Cintra. Princess Cirilla had shot to fame. Princess Olivia was already famous as the "Pearl of the Northern Realms." Now that she had Cirilla, a talented source sorcerer, as her guardian knight, Olivia's status in the entire continent rose even higher.
Vilgefortz had served the Nilfgaardian Empire in the First War of the Northern Realms. His achievements were terrifying. In the eyes of King Foltest of Temeria, this man was the greatest threat to the Northern Realms!
It couldn't be helped. Vilgefortz had always treated Emperor Emhyr as his master. He was practically the Emperor's strongest trump card. The other Nilfgaardian Warlocks felt like they were just there to watch Vilgefortz's back …
Vilgefortz had the power to turn the tide of a war on his own!
Therefore, all the kings of the Northern Realms, including Foltest, were wary of this man. They had even hired many witchers from the school of the cat to assassinate Vilgefortz. They wanted to get rid of this threat, so that in the next war, Vilgefortz would no longer be a threat to the Nilfgaardian Empire.
However, reality was cruel. Most of the assassins had disappeared. Rumor had it that the powerful Lord Vilgefortz had found new experimental subjects in his laboratory. They seemed to be witchers with strong vitality!
As all sorts of assassinations turned out to be easy pickings, even the assassins did not dare to take on the job. Of course, Lord Vilgefortz's reputation grew. The leaders of the Northern Realms had almost given up on assassinations. They felt that it was a waste of effort!
However, Foltest never expected that Vilgefortz, who was so powerful that he was unbeatable, would die just like that. Not to mention, he died at the hands of a young girl like Cirilla, who only had a little fame?
If not for the fact that the news had been confirmed multiple times, Foltest would have suspected that it was a joke. How could Vilgefortz, the greatest threat to the Northern Realms, be killed just like that?
Foltest had never thought that such a good thing would fall into his lap. He was even more confident that he could launch the Northern Realms Coalition Army and reclaim Cintra!
At the same time, Foltest's impression of Olivia and Cirilla, the two former princesses of the Kingdom of Cintra, had improved tremendously. He felt that these two princesses of a fallen kingdom were the most loyal ministers of the entire Northern Realms. Kaer Morhen was only neutral on the surface, but his heart was in the North!
Foltest had never seen the famous "Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms," Olivia. No matter how beautiful Olivia was, if she was not his blood-related sister, he would naturally feel bored. This was the most famous and talented King of the Northern Kingdoms. His taste was just so perverted.
Now, of course, Foltest wanted to meet Olivia and Cirilla in a grand manner. He even wanted to invite these two famous princesses to serve in the Temerian Palace. Olivia was a business genius. She could be the Minister of Finance. With her status as the Princess of the Royal Family of Cintra, and the scale of her Chamber of Commerce, no one would object to this appointment.
Most importantly, Olivia had participated in the killing of Vilgefortz. This was a proper proof of allegiance. Did her loyalty still need to be questioned?
Considering that this "Pearl of the Northern Kingdoms" was still single, Foltest could introduce her to many young talents in the Temerian Palace …
Aside from Olivia, Cirilla could hire her to be the court mage. She had already killed Vilgefortz. Who would dare to disrespect her in any country?
Otherwise, with Cirilla's powerful strength, as long as she set her sights on someone, no matter how many guards there were, they would not be able to defeat her!
After this battle, news of Cirilla's identity as a source sorcerer and her mastery of space-time magic had spread. Then, someone mentioned Islyn's prophecy –
"I tell you, the age of swords and axes is upon us, the age of the Wolf's Blizzard is upon us, the age of white frost and white light is upon us, the age of madness and shame is upon us: Ted Dyriad, the end of the world. The world shall perish in frost and snow, and be reborn under a brand new sun. The ancient blood shall be reborn, reborn from a seed that has long been sown. This seed shall not sprout, but burst into flames. "
Islyn was an elven prophet. She was known for her prophecies of the end of the world. According to her prophecy, the world would be destroyed by the Ice Age. All humans would perish, and the only survivors would be the elves. They would be saved by the descendants of the "ancient blood." These descendants were called "swallows." Many signs foretold the coming of the end of the world. This disaster would begin when the blood of the elves soaked the earth. This marked the "Age of Scorn," the "Axe and Wolf's Blizzard." It signified the return of a long period of war and savagery.
Many believed in Islyn's prophecy. They believed that the White Frost would destroy the world. Islyn's prophecy could be heard in every port, square, or city gate. Every village witch, druid, or scholar would make use of it. Scholars would publish related books, fortune-tellers would use it to analyze the future, and druids would use it to warn the world. Islyn's prophecy seemed to have infiltrated every corner of everyday culture. Everyone knew that "the age of the Wolf's Blizzard, the age of the White Frost is upon us," and that "the world shall perish in frost." However, very few people actually understood the meaning of these words.
These self-proclaimed fortune-tellers spoke of Islyn's prophecy, but regarded the still pond with the stars as the sky. To some scholars, the White Frost was not some legendary or mysterious natural disaster. It was a natural phenomenon that could be described in dry but accurate academic language.
Cirilla's victory over Vilgefortz had led some people to believe that the perfect gift of the Primordial Blood in her had begun to manifest itself. Many ambitious people had finally set their sights on her. It seemed that whoever could control Cirilla would be able to conquer the world!
However, Cirilla only belonged to one person, and that was Olivia.
