Chapter 654 Father's Love Is Like a Mountain
By the time Geralt met the two Cintra princesses again, the first war between the Nilfgaardian Empire and the Northern Kingdoms was almost over.
Nilfgaard recorded the battle in this way——
"The outbreak of this battle is entirely the responsibility of Temeria's special forces. The intercepted documents clearly indicate that Temeria intends to rob Sintra. The Empire will never allow this kind of power imbalance to happen. Adjust the military strength Go to Sintra and establish order there, so that the empire can reverse the destruction of Temeria and maintain peace. Unfortunately, the northern countries are as stubborn and short-sighted as ever, choosing armed conflict instead of rational compromise.
In this conflict, the northern army committed unforgivable crimes, and the retribution first came in the battle of Manada and the incident of Sintra. Our great lord, Emhyr Enress, has written to the court of Cintra to express his sympathy and hope that this nightmare will not be repeated again.
After taking Sintra, the Nilfgaardian army believed that the situation in the north was stable, but the resistance in the north continued, leading to a battle between the two armies near Soden. The northerners boasted that this battle was the turning point of the whole war, but in fact it had no political significance at all. A truce was signed shortly thereafter, and Cintra became part of the Nilfgaardian Empire. "
Interestingly, northern scholars have another way of saying——
"The cause of the war was Nilfgaard's apparent intention to invade Sintra. The Imperial Army crossed the Amer Mountains and attacked the garrison station on the southern border of Sintra, near the Ihrenwald Forest. Some unconfirmed rumors It is pointed out that Emhyr Enress has a special connection to this place, but the details are unknown. What we can be sure of is that he made up his mind long ago to control Cintra.
The key battle was the Battle of Manada, where Nilfgaard surrounded and wiped out Cintra's army. King Ester Tursek was killed in battle. The survivors, led by Queen Calanthe, took refuge in the capital, but there was no one there, because the entire city was slaughtered, and the whereabouts of Queen Calanther and the royal princess were also unknown.
Then the place of the battle moved to the Ober Soden area, and the fighting was terrible, barbaric and cruel. The historical consensus is that the brutal crimes committed by the Imperial Army at Ober Soden contributed to the Northern victory at the Second Battle of Soden. These atrocities left the Northern Army with only two choices, win the war or die with their families . Desperate determination allowed them to defeat the seemingly invincible Nilfgaardian army. The following year, the two sides signed the truce and ceded Sintra to the Empire, making Sintra nominally the northernmost province of Nilfgaard. "
...
After Geralt learned of the "Cintra Massacre", he immediately set out to find Cilia, and of course Olivia, who he liked even more. Among them, Cilia was more of a responsibility. But Olivia is quite special, he left a very deep impression on the little princess of Sintra.
It turned out that the king paid off, or that the "Law of Accident" is so powerful. This time, Geralt didn't hesitate and chose to take Cilia and Olivia to Kaer Morhen together.
Geralt actually blamed himself very much. Maybe he should have taken the two sisters away when he was in Brokilon Forest, otherwise why would they have to suffer such a crime?
Of course, Cilia would not tell Geralt how cruel her life as a refugee with her sister was for almost a whole year. In fact, as long as she had her sister around, she would be able to endure any suffering...
Xi Liya's elder sister's aura is getting stronger and stronger. In order to protect her younger sister, she has become more and more "ruthless" and yearns for more powerful power, so she would rather follow her than become a merchant's daughter. Geralt hopes to learn powerful swordsmanship from the legendary witcher so that he can better protect his sister.
But Olivia, who is well versed in "crybaby has milk", told Geralt and his friend Dandelion in detail about what happened to her and Cilia, and exaggerated on the basis of facts. Makes those who hear it sad and those who hear it cry!
Dandelion patted his chest and expressed that he would write two epic works based on the experiences of Olivia and Siria - "Pearl of the North" and "The Cub of Cintra".
Dandelion is a talented poet, bard, graduate of Oxenfurt College, frequent performer in the royal palace, unparalleled lover, playboy admired by all the ladies in the continent, skilled Negotiator, or eloquent orator, these are the images of Dandelion often in the stories told by many people.
One of Geralt's closest companions, he is a garrulous talker, amusing clown and slob. But as long as he wants, he can immediately become a handsome upper-class nobleman, but his passion and flair often get him into trouble, which also makes the white wolf wipe his ass again and again.
When Dandelion saw the famous and beautiful "Pearl of the North" Princess Olivia, he habitually flirted with her again, as if he didn't care that she was only thirteen years old.
In fact, because she is of Western race, this thirteen-year-old girl is actually already slim, and Olivia, who has gone through hardships, is even more amazing in her charm.
However, Dandelion was warned by Geralt that night, he can flirt with any girl, but don't hit his daughters!
That's right, Geralt has made up his mind to adopt the two sisters who have become princesses of the subjugated country and whose parents have died as his adopted daughters, and take them to Kaer Morhen.
Dandelion, Geralt's good friend, is quite obedient. He said that he really doesn't think too much about Olivia, he just thinks this princess is more interesting...
As for Xi Liya, she exudes an aura of keeping strangers away, except when facing her own sister, she will smile.
After listening to Olivia's confession, Geralt certainly felt sorry for the two daughters, and then the white wolf seemed to have turned into a loyal dog, or Geralt was born to be a father, on the way to Kaer Morhen , taking care of the sisters in every possible way, can be described as a father's love.
Geralt, who was doomed to be sterile, obviously regarded the two sisters as his own daughters. Maybe many years later, when he was dreaming, he would still remember how he got along with the two sisters when they were young. Maybe it was just a game. The content of the novice tutorial.
This Princess Olivia seems to be quite skilled in the matter of "recognizing her father". When Cilia was still aloof, Olivia, who originally called Geralt "Old White Wolf", had already called "White Wolf" Wolf father", although this father is indeed old enough to be her grandfather's father...
