"Private sword instructor."
"Heh heh, it's still uncertain which sword you want to wield."
But it's interesting to note that everyone has their own thoughts, and even Princess Adda, who is often seen as a mere ornament, has her own aspirations: to master swordsmanship and rule the country well in the future.
With the entire North in chaos and the Nilfgaardian Empire on the verge of invasion, and all the rulers around Temeria harboring their own schemes, can Princess Adda truly become a queen?
Regarding the princess's thoughts,
the Witcher neither agreed nor refused, as maintaining a good relationship with the princess would benefit his future development in the Kingdom of Temeria.
However, if a Witcher were suddenly hired as the royal princess's sword instructor,
it would most likely cause an uproar among the kingdom's nobility, damaging Princess Adda's reputation, with people perhaps believing she was enchanted or influenced by magic.
After all, the Witcher's reputation among the nobility was notoriously bad, probably not much better than that of sorceresses.
Princess Adda was in high spirits today; she wore a translucent long dress and reclined on a long couch, wanting to hear the Witcher's adventure stories.
As a princess who rarely left the palace and had never even left the city of Vizima, the yearning for the outside world and adventure was a common trait among most noble young women.
Guilliman, feeling inclined, embellished his story about his pact with the Lady of the Lake, and his impending formation of a team to eradicate the fish-men in Lake Vizima and confront the evil god.
He told the story with many twists and turns, making it captivating.
It was like many tales where heroes receive divine inspiration and then embark on a mission to save the world.
Princess Adda's eyes lit up as she listened, constantly rubbing her legs and intertwining her fingers, as if she had been drawn into the story, her heart filled with longing.
Unlike the steady and cautious Foltest, Princess Adda was clearly much more headstrong, and she didn't even doubt the truthfulness of the matter.
She casually called her personal maid, then took paper and pen, wrote a note, stamped it with the princess's exclusive crest, and handed it to the Witcher, saying:
"This is a righteous act to protect the Kingdom of Temeria, Master Guilliman."
"Take my letter, and when you need help, you can give it to Commander Siegfried of the Order of the Flaming Rose."
"He is a loyal knight devoted to me and will surely be willing to help."
Siegfried, Commander?
Upon hearing this title, Guilliman couldn't help but show a surprised expression. According to the timeline in the game, shouldn't the commander of the Order of the Flaming Rose at this time be Jacques?
That Alvin who went through many hardships, traveled through time, and grew up?
That fanatic who tried to stage a coup, purge all non-human races, and turn all soldiers into mutated Witchers?
How did it become Siegfried now?
Could it be that because Alvin was taken as his disciple, this history has really changed?
Guilliman's thoughts raced, considering many issues.
He had not failed to consider such consequences when he intervened in Alvin's fate.
But theories about time and space, and time paradoxes, were too profound, and no one could be sure what would truly happen.
The power of Elder Blood was too strong; it could even change the history of this world.
No wonder both the God of Destiny and the God of Chaos and Calamity were trying to destroy or control this power.
Could he truly seize this power from the hands of two high-level deities?
Guilliman's head felt a bit muddled.
He reached out to take the letter handed to him by the princess, but the beautiful princess took the opportunity to grab his wrist and licked his palm, leaving a damp mark.
Adda let out a playful laugh.
However, the two did not spend too long alone, nor did they have time for any 'pleasant' events, as the maid sent by the king came to invite the princess to other activities.
Clearly, Foltest was also uneasy about his daughter being alone with another man.
Adda nodded with some regret, then winked at the Witcher and said:
"It was truly enjoyable chatting with you, Master Guilliman."
"Once you become my private sword instructor, we can have a proper chat again."
Guilliman nodded, preparing to leave, when he suddenly remembered the task the fat merchant Leuvaarden had entrusted to him; he had received nearly a thousand orens as a favor.
So, before leaving, he extended an invitation to the princess.
"Your Royal Highness, this Saturday evening, the city's famous wealthy merchant, Mr. Leuvaarden, would like to invite you and me to a banquet he is hosting."
"This wealthy merchant intends to sponsor your Order of the Flaming Rose; he is a rich merchant from the merchant guild of Nilfgaard."
"I believe this is an interesting invitation. What do you think?"
As the princess of the kingdom, the sole heir to the throne of Temeria, invitations from wealthy merchants or nobles like this were countless and hardly worth mentioning to her; they rarely piqued her interest.
Not to mention certain merchants who wanted to curry favor with the princess, attempting to use her influence for business.
They were the kind who wanted to offer money but had no means to do so.
Apart from banquets hosted by certain high-ranking nobles and personally appointed by Foltest, Princess Adda did not participate in many noble gatherings; private banquets like this were even rarer.
However, this time, since it was Guilliman who extended the invitation, Adda naturally did not refuse.
She stood up, walked to her wardrobe, turned her back, and took off her only long dress, revealing a smooth and jade-like, slender and graceful back full of feminine charm.
While her personal maid helped her change into another magnificent long dress, she turned her head, revealing a captivating and alluring smile to the Witcher, and said:
"Since you are inviting me, you must see it through and make sure I have a good time, Master Guilliman."
"This is a great opportunity; I believe my father will find it difficult to monitor us then."
"At that time, heh heh, I also want to see if Witchers truly have bodies like monsters, as the legends say."
After leaving the princess's bedroom,
seeing that it was already nearing dusk, Guilliman prepared to go to Shani's house to enjoy the dinner prepared by Caroline.
Regarding Siegfried and Alvin, he had to carefully consider and investigate the matter.
Since history had truly changed, the future intelligence he thought he possessed might also have changed.
Regarding his bloodline advancement ritual and taking the Elder Blood from Alvin, this matter also needed to be reconfirmed for safety.
His soul advancement progress was already halfway complete, and the time for this ritual was not far off.
