Chapter 297: The Kidnapped Princess
Hearing Geralt's words, Wayne, who was still a little lazy, was suddenly stunned, and for a while he couldn't remember who Princess Paveta was.
After more than ten seconds, he suddenly remembered that Geralt was talking about Ciri's mother, the very stupid and naïve Princess Sintra.
In recent years, he has not paid attention to Ciri's news, but after hearing that after the disappearance of the hedgehog man Doni, under the manipulation of Queen Carranse, the wedding took place as usual, and the glamorous queen found a stand-in to complete the wedding in Duni's place.
After the wedding, Princess Paveta did not get the inheritance of Sintra, a northern power allied with Skellig, is still under the control of Queen Caranthor, because of Skellig's strong support, the development is getting smoother and smoother.
These messages, except for those told to him by a well-informed sorceress, were collected by his little slave Xiana.
Sianna has been very diligent in recent years, and has devoted almost all her energy to the Wayne Chamber of Commerce, and in the entire northern merchant circle, someone has already given him the nickname of the queen of business.
The main feature is that he has a lot of money, every time he makes a move, thousands or even tens of thousands of gold coins, he doesn't even blink an eye, and the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem in front of the Wayne Chamber of Commerce.
Even many nobles would be in awe of her as an agent of the Chamber of Commerce, and few unsightly guys would dare to provoke her.
As the daughter of a former duke, Sianna has received a fairly good education, and her own heart and intelligence are also excellent, and she is still an ambitious girl.
I don't know if it's because she has a very keen sense of power, after learning some of the specious businesses that Wayne taught him, she was unexpectedly quite talented in business, and the Wayne Chamber of Commerce became more and more powerful.
But what outsiders don't know is that this beautiful lady who is quite famous in the business world, a business wizard known as the queen of business, is just an obedient and well-behaved little slave girl in front of Wayne.
At present, he is still worried about not being able to give Wayne a child and consolidate his position, and he works extremely hard every time he is in bed.
The girl knew very well who her power came from, and was a smart person who knew everything quite well.
After recalling the information he had about Sintra, Wayne waved his hand to his men and asked them to leave the council chamber for a while, before asking Geralt:
"I remember that girl of your Daughter of Destiny seems to be called Ciri, and she seems to be almost four years old this year."
"Did she have an accident too?"
Geralt shook his head with a solemn expression and said:
"That girl didn't have an accident, Queen Caranther is very strict with this granddaughter, and there are a bunch of guards guarding her every day."
"Ye told me that Queen Carantor was quite obedient to your original advice, and the royal court of Sintra invited a total of two warlocks as royal advisors."
"The main responsibility is also the safety of the royal family."
"However, according to the news from there, in recent months, due to the turbulent environment in the northern countries, Queen Caranthor wants to arrange another husband for Princess Paweta to consolidate Sintra's ally, the Kingdom of Verdon."
"So an envoy was arranged for Princess Pavita to send an envoy to the kingdom of Verdon."
"But a few days before departure, Princess Pavit mysteriously disappeared."
"Queen Caranther initially thought that the princess wanted to escape from the marriage, so she arranged for a warlock and several professional detectives to find the princess, but they finally concluded that the princess had been kidnapped."
Speaking of this, Geralt smiled a somewhat stiff smile self-deprecatingly, looked at Wayne and said:
"You should know that, Wayne."
"If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't think of any other way, with the character of that queen, how could she still ask someone to come to me to accept the commission."
"Queen Caranther is very worried, and I have abducted her granddaughter."
Wayne nodded when he heard this, it is true, since Ciri was confirmed to be Geralt's daughter of fate, the kingdom of Sintra basically did not welcome witchers, especially the white wolf Geralt.
Although this rule and regulations are not written on the surface, some people who know the inside story have more or less revealed some rumors.
Basically, no one is going to send out a commission to invite a witcher to work.
"So, what are you going to do, Geralt, are you going to take over this?"
For Wayne, who knows the plot of the original book, Princess Pavita's disappearance is actually not too unexpected.
This princess revealed her identity as the owner of the ancient blood at the original marriage selection banquet, which is simply a guilt, a coveted treasure.
Although this news was suppressed by Queen Caranthor, for some people with a heart, it was still possible to find out this information.
Just as he had reminded Queen Carrantor and the others before, the blood of the Ancients was a legendary power, and every powerful mage would never mind having such an experiment in their lab.
If it weren't for the fact that Lord Wayne was not a bad person, he might have kidnapped Princess Pavita directly.
Whether it's used as a fertility machine, or as an experiment, or trained as one's own subordinates, it's quite a cost-effective thing.
Fortunately, the young Ciri did not show his bloodline talent, and the chances of two generations awakening the blood of the Ancients at the same time are too small, otherwise, Princess Paveta may not only be kidnapped.
Geralt scratched his chin when he heard this, and there was a very large scar on his chin that extended directly to his lips, which looked a little hideous.
These were the scars left by Margarita when she was rescued from death three years ago, and there were more than a dozen of them on his chest and back, all of which were left by the group of fallen human warriors, and it was estimated that Geralt was the closest he had come to death so far.
"Actually, I don't really want to worry about it, Wayne."
"But you know, Yennefer has always wanted a child, and since she believed in the goddess of the lake, she has been more concerned about this matter of mine than I am for this daughter of destiny."
"This is also the news that she knew first, and then notified me."
"She's going to leave today, so let me report it to you."
Wayne nodded, not surprised at all.
Since that incident three years ago, Yennefer has also joined the Witcher Order, but she is only part-time, mainly responsible for serving as the vice-principal and teacher of Triss's newly established Warlock Academy.
Although Triss is named the principal, she is responsible for too many things, and now although the Warlock School is still in the initial stage, and there are only about a dozen students in total, the main preparatory work is still in charge of Ye Nefer.
Wayne still has a lot of respect for the sorceress who can be called a sister-in-law, giving her considerable freedom, providing ample funds, and basically not giving her many restrictions.
On the Witcher's side, the official Witcher School has also been built, and there are currently three academies in total, the Wolf Academy, the Pit Viper Academy, and the Griffin Academy.
All Witcher apprentices receive a uniform Witcher course until they are ten years old, and only after they are ten years old do they choose different academies according to their talents and preferences.
Some people who are not qualified in talent and talent will also be kicked out of the academy and let him work in other jobs.
In Kyle Mohan, the witcher is no longer a lowly profession, but a profession that must be chosen by talented people.
Due to the war in the Kingdom of Kodwin, there are quite a lot of orphans, and now there are more than fifty students in the entire academy, although these people are likely to only graduate about half, but for such a grand occasion, whether it is Viselmir of the Wolf School, Resso of the Viper School or George of the Griffin School, they all feel very gratified.
And because in the past few years, the white wolf Geralt has been in the stage of recuperation, so he can also be regarded as one of the heads of the wolf academy.
This time, I came to Wayne to tell me about Princess Pavita, mainly to ask for leave, and I need to leave Kyle Mohan for a while.
Wayne nodded, then touched his chin, thought for a few seconds and said:
"I'm also interested in this, so be it."
"You and Yennefer go and find out the situation first and figure out some necessary things."
"In three days, after I've taken care of some things in the Order, I'll take someone with me to Sintra and join you."
