Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 94 Another Supporting Role on the Stage

"You just like watching the show so much..." Lin You questioned the devil half-seriously.

Odimu smiled disdainfully: "Don't you like it? Don't try to deceive me. You know I understand human nature better than anyone else. As long as I see the eyes, I can see through a person's heart without any mistakes. In your eyes, don't you also think of this world as a stage?"

"Haha..." The writer burst out laughing when his thoughts were exposed.

The integration of The Witcher world can be said to be the most difficult challenge for the writer in more than a year. It is also the task in which he is most relaxed and can let go of his hands and feet.

Whenever the worlds merged in the past, the writers could only perform their duties within the red lines drawn by the gods; fearing that any action that went a little out of line would change the direction of the story line and cause chaos, they were always very careful, acting like a professional tool, firefighter, and scapegoat.

This time, however, he was able to let loose and sabotage the plot, striving to disrupt the predetermined destiny to the greatest extent possible; so much so that even his bad mood of being forced to go on a long business trip in the demon hunter world was alleviated a little.

Assassinating the Emperor of Nilfgaard certainly ruins the plot, and allowing the Snake Faction Demon Hunters to be associated with the Southern Empire in advance is also a plot ruination; Gaunter O'Dimm's actions are like when stirring up a storm, he deliberately controls two waves to collide head-on in order to create more brilliant splashes.

The demon was puzzled by the boy's behavior and asked, "Why did you snatch the poet from the witcher? Toussaint is located between the mountains. It takes a long time to get there. If it doesn't snow in advance, you will be trapped there for the whole winter."

"Of course not for the reward!" Lin You glanced at the poet who was drinking tea and found that he pricked up his ears, afraid of missing any word of the conversation; "Mr. Dandelion will follow us all the way south; there is a plan that depends on his beautiful piano and singing voice."

O'Dimm's eyes lit up: "So, he is also a character in this drama of fate?"

"Hmm, you can say that." Lin You "took the initiative" to refill the dazed poet's cup of tea, "He will be an indispensable and important supporting role."

Hearing that he would not be sent back to Toussaint, the poet secretly rejoiced in his heart, and patted his chest to assure: "If you need any service from me, just let me know, honorable Count."

Driven by his instinct to seek profit and avoid harm, Dandelion displayed his gift of eloquence to the fullest, unaware that he was running headfirst into the most terrifying vortex of fate in the world.

Of course, even if he knew, the writer and the devil would not allow the poet to escape the vortex.

"Is that so?" Lin You said casually, "Then do what you are best at and tell me a story first, Mr. Dandelion."

"What do you like to listen to? Heroes' adventures, epics of kingdoms, beautiful or sad love stories?" Dandelion asked generously, already holding the lute in his arms.

"Why do you have to separate the stories so clearly? I want to hear a story that combines all the elements." The boy said in a tone like ordering food. "We just left the Kingdom of Cintra. I heard that an interesting story happened to the royal family of this country ten years ago."

"Ten years ago? Are you talking about Princess Pavetta's wedding?" Cintra is a small country. Even for a majestic royal family, how many memorable stories can happen there? After strictly specifying the time and place, Dandelion easily guessed the answer.

Not to mention, the witcher who shines and plays a key role in this story is the poet’s best friend – Geralt the “White Wolf”.

Although Dandelion was not present at the event ten years ago, he still knew the cause and effect clearly through the White Wolf's narration, and he also intended to compile this story into a poem, which became an important chapter in the witcher's adventure career. The poet today does not know how profoundly the law of accidents established by his witcher friend through this incident will affect the future of the world. So when the young earl made a request, he gladly obeyed and began to sing the poem that had not yet been finalized.

An outstanding bard is considered an artist, and art requires talent; it must be said that although Dandelion has countless flaws, he has an artistic talent that others can hardly match.

In the hands of the poet, the sound of the lute is sometimes melodious, sometimes cheerful, sometimes rapid, and sometimes soothing; corresponding to the ups and downs of the different paragraphs of the story, it can always just right arouse the emotions of the listeners, and immerse themselves in the poet's chanting, as if they were there.

Ten years ago, Princess Pavetta of the Kingdom of Cintra, the mother of little Ciri, turned fifteen. According to the customs of the time, she had reached adulthood and could choose a husband to marry. Therefore, the regent queen of the Kingdom of Cintra, Calanthe, held a grand coming-of-age ceremony for her daughter.

Many unmarried young men of similar age gathered in the palace, both to celebrate the princess' coming of age and to propose marriage. Because the royal family of Sintra only has the princess as a blood descendant, according to the laws of the kingdom, whoever can become the princess's husband will become the king of Sintra in the future.

When the banquet reached its climax, a young man who called himself "Prince Doni of Mechit" rushed in in armor; he claimed that he had saved the life of the King of Cintra in his early years, and the king had promised to give his unborn daughter to Doni in return for saving his life according to the law of accidents.

In short, Princess Pavetta had already been engaged to Donnie long before she was born.

However, Prince Doni was cursed by evil magic when he was a teenager. For at least eighteen hours a day, his body would be covered with spikes like a hedgehog, and he would only return to human form for a few hours from midnight to sunrise.

The king had passed away, and Queen Calanthe had been a widow for many years. She only had a daughter as a relative, so how could she be willing to marry her to a monster? The queen, who had long known about the Law of Accident and Duny, had found Geralt the White Wolf in advance, hoping to kill Duny through the hands of the witcher.

But no one expected that Donny actually knew the princess for a long time. The two had been secretly in love for more than a year. When the banquet was held today, the princess was already pregnant with Donny's child.

There were another series of twists and turns at the banquet. Finally, under Geralt's hosting, Duny lifted the curse and his engagement with the princess was recognized.

Lin You had read the original novel in his previous life, and he had to admit that even the words in the original novel were not necessarily more fascinating than the poems sung by the poet. Although Dandelion intentionally or unintentionally elevated the importance of his good friend Geralt in the poem, he deliberately weakened the roles of others.

"From then on, the prince and princess lived happily..." The whole chapter quickly reached the last part and was then stopped by the writer.

"What a cliché ending!"

The sound of the piano stopped suddenly.

The poet embarrassedly defended himself: "I'm sorry, Count. The poem is not yet finalized. I haven't written the ending yet. I will definitely need to polish it in the future..."

"In that case, why don't I tell you the ending?" There was a vicious light flashing in Lin You's eyes.
