Chapter 656: 656
Eskel had a head of black hair . A ma.s.sive scar marred his face . Similar to Geralt, he liked to count on the ”Law of Surprise . ” The ”Law of Surprise” was where he had gotten his horse, whose name was Scorpion .
As for the scar on his face, there was a backstory for it .
Eskel got it when he was trying to save the life of a prince, 70 years ago . He had invoked the Law of Surprise for his trouble, and at that time, the prince did not know that his wife was about to give birth to a female baby—Deidre Ademeyr . Even so, Eskel had yet to bring back his promised child .
As if by the hand of retribution, not doing so had brought him many troubles 20 years later, even causing him to make an enemy out of the sorceress Sabrina . This had angered Princess Deidre Ademeyr, who by logic would be his ”granddaughter . ” She had slashed him across the face, scarring him for life .
In the end, Eskel's Surprise Child, Princess Deidre Ademeyr was born from the shadows of fate . She had changed her own fate, thanks to the good book; she was now free of vengeance . Under the united rule of Merwin and Deidre, Caingorn lifted the flag, bringing its brightest moments in history .
After a few years, a crow bringing mail from the prince of Caingorn arrived at Kaer Morhen . Without looking at the contents, Eskel had discarded it into the flames .
From that moment on, witchers never brought up the name of Deidre Ademeyr once again .
So much contradiction and doubt . In reality, many witchers would not want to bring their Surprise Children into the world of witchers .
Like Geralt, if it wasn't for that fact that Olivia and Cirilla had nowhere to return, he might have ended up like Eskel - returning to Kael Morhen empty-handed .
When Olivia first mentioned remodeling Kaer Morhen, no one thought much of it, as they had already gotten used to the life there . There was no choice . Witchers were not only poor, but they had to suffer prejudice too .
However, the angel Olivia was just too cute, no one would dare let her down . Even Lambert . He may have groaned and nagged about it, but the floor's new marble tiles were actually his doing .
Although Kaer Morhen was old, it was also immensely huge and could easily house a few hundred people .
That was why Olivia had come up with a residential area . Its design was most modern . With alchemy, anything was possible, as long as she had the resources .
This was the real power of dark technology . Magic may not be as overpowered as one would think, but it had its uses . Combined with the support from the system, Olivia could enforce her will over the atoms, which was basically Alchemy on a microscopic level .
