Chapter 64 - Vilgefortz's Plans.

[Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]

Third Person POV

Northern kingdoms.

...

...

Somewhere distant, in a laboratory in a cave far from any human contact, a man in a wizard's cloak and even his aura showed he was a wizard, was looking at a pile of scrolls.

"Anything, my lord…." Lydia van Bredevoort, Vilgefortz of Roggeveen's assistant and personal secretary, approached her lord cautiously.

"I am just looking at reports about the war that started last year between Cintra and Angren..." he commented.

"Weren't you looking at that last week as you do every month since it started...?" the woman questioned, receiving a cold look from the man.

She immediately shrank back at the wizard's gaze. "Sorry, Lord Vilgefortz... I didn't mean to sound questioning..." she spoke with a sincere tone of apology, while the man looked at her and sighed.

"It's okay... This is the only war happening in the north at this moment, so I'm interested in every new detail, after all, Cintra has so many interesting things... that I almost want to root for them," he commented.

"Do you intend to take the girl...?" the woman asked.

"No... or at least until I have a great opportunity, I will keep her in Cintra... It will be a good opportunity when the south starts its expansion to the north, but with Emhyr finally assuming the throne of Nilfgaard... he will start gathering the troops and I believe in 2 years, he will start the expansion," he commented as the gears of his mind began to turn.

"Are you keeping in touch with the Nilfgaardian emperor?" the woman asked.

"Yes... I'm trying to convince him to attack the north, especially Cintra... I'm convincing him about the prophecy of the elder blood, where it will be Cirilla's son who will rule the world..." he spoke with a smile.

"So..." the woman or Vilgefortz's assistant, supposed….

"Exactly... the fool is thirsty for power, not that I can blame him, after all, even I want it, but he intends to have a child with his own daughter, hoping that this child will be the ruler of the world..." he said.

"You too..." the woman said with a hint of jealousy at that moment, after all, she was completely in love with her magical tutor and has been dedicating her life to him since then.

"No... I don't intend to have a child, but still... I want to use the power of her blood for my own benefits, that would make me even more powerful..." the man spoke with a tone of greed, imagining the future possibilities with Ciri's power by his side.

"Why not take her easily? You are the most powerful wizard in the entire north, you could do it with ease..." she commented.

"It's not that simple, if I take her now, it would be easily discovered and the entire north would be after me, whether kings or even my colleagues from Aretuza..." he commented, after all, he couldn't simply make a move against her so openly. "...but, that won't stop me if I have enough distraction along with the destruction of Cintra, and I'm creating this opportunity, in the end, I just intend to use Emhyr to give me the power to control not only Nilfgaard but all the kingdoms of the north," he said with a tone of cunning.

"Do you believe in the prophecy imposed on the girl?" Lydia asked curiously.

"Prophecies are always difficult to understand, it has been around for a long time, maybe her blood will really dominate the world, but that doesn't mean someone can do it for her..." he commented with a dark tone.

"I understand... I will be waiting for any command to go to Cintra, Lord Vilgefortz." His assistant spoke with admiration.

"Yes... the war is not the moment to act... Cintra is concentrating most of its forces in the east, with the queen fighting Angren," he said, opening a map while placing some points representing the armies of both sides, but being in Cintra's territory. "Angren has gained some territory since the war started. But Cintra managed to move a considerable part of its troops, even with some nobles destroyed and many dissatisfied due to the events of two years ago..." he spoke, pointing to the map and continued.

"Many nobles seek to take lands from a family called Chip, accused of treason, and are striving to please the queen, so the war has stalled..." he spoke calmly.

"Did you hear about what happened to Angren... their king has half of his face burned and the wizard Vuty (OC), ended up burned alive... Aretuza had to send another wizard and even conduct an investigation." Lydia said.

"Yes... no one knows exactly who cast the fire magic... since no one managed to capture the signature of the magic used... but this did not bring such serious accusations against Cintra, after all, what was a king doing in front of a portal that led straight to the capital of Cintra... Cintra was not punished by the Northern Council, but they also did not prevent Angren from pursuing their claim through war..." Vilgefortz of Roggeveen said and opened another scroll.

"Besides... I have a strong suspicion that one person did this... since we removed the girl Cirilla... there is another boy who captivates me as well." He began.

"That Madara...?" She recalled two years ago when she first heard about the boy.

"Yes... He has done many things since then... which makes me think he has some kind of ability that is unknown to this world... I personally went to some places where magic had been released... You know how impossible it is for any child to release magic... but he did it in such a strange and effective way." He said.

"It should be impossible..." Lydia said, knowing that no one without decades of study in magic could do such a thing. "But does he possess a power unknown to us?" She asked curiously.

"Yes... I have been keeping an eye on him since I started hearing news about him from our spies... In the last year he has done nothing but stay in the capital, he is almost unseen, and some say he is a ghost, others believe he is an invention of the royalty to scare their enemies, and others believe he is a secret weapon that the queen unleashes like a hunting dog." He spoke about the rumors, after all, Madara had done nothing in the last year but train.

"What are your plans for him, Lord Vilgefortz?" She asked.

"I have not yet formulated the details until the time comes... but I intend to use him as well, especially after some research about the boy... But he has not been inactive in the last two years, because a year ago, before the war began... he killed a Witcher from the Viper school..."

"A Witcher?! He is just a child!" The woman exclaimed, surprised by this.

"Yes, believe it or not, he was only 8 years old, and he killed an experienced Witcher... do you understand my interest now?" He said, looking at another scroll with the image of Madara with his sharingan drawn on a paper.

"..." She was speechless.

"There is also something very interesting... These powers are a kind of lineage, a boy born with super strength, speed, comparable to a higher vampire, able to release fire from his mouth, change the color of his eyes, and even rumors that he can multiply, something I had never seen beyond reading in ancient tomes. And the main thing... he was born with all this power, he didn't need to study chaos magic or undergo a herb test like the Witchers." He commented with a smile, thinking about what that blood hides.

"Lineage...?" The assistant murmured softly.

"Yes, and I went after this name in the last year... Uchiha... a strange name, almost never mentioned... but then I started to see very interesting things about him... this name was mentioned by Magister Alzur (OC)." He commented.

"Magister Alzur? The man who created the herb test more than 400 years ago?" The woman asked.

"Yes, in fact, there was a mention of the Uchihas at that time and I started looking for everything, in the last few months, this was the reason I was hardly in the laboratory during that time, I went to the Kaedwen Mountains, tried to find evidence in Skellige, and searched archives in Novigrad. I even explored ancient ruins in Toussaint, where I found some drawings." He spoke as he picked up a book and continued.

"This family really existed in this world... it was considered a kind of clan. It seems that they are the reason Magister Alzur began to develop the herb test, intriguing, isn't it? But I still don't know what he saw in this clan..." He said, looking at his notes.

"But something strange started to happen... They were famous and began to be erased from history as soon as the clan mysteriously disappeared... No one knows, and something is behind this... I just don't know the reason for their motives." He said, turning the page. "Madara's parents were killed when he was a child and he was placed in an orphanage in Cintra... they also carried this name that seemed to hide from the world. The boy seemed ordinary until he was six years old... when he simply disappeared and returned months later with blood-red eyes. It was at this moment that he started a war with the gangs and was even captured by a mage, he killed that mage, it's a shame I couldn't get the location of the laboratory where Madara ended up, I was very interested."

"An ancient lineage..." she commented, imagining how her master would be interested in this as well.

"Yes... and I believe that this Madara and Cirilla are connected by the law of destiny... But soon I will have both of them." He said.

"But he is just an ordinary boy without any status... wouldn't it be easy to take him now?" she asked.

"Not yet... it's too soon and if you saw the strength he demonstrates in all the failed assassination attempts made against him, even a Witcher cannot defeat him... So if I were to do it, it would draw a lot of attention and I wouldn't be able to get him before being identified, besides, the queen and her council have plans for him... and you would be shocked if you knew about them." He said before opening a sinister smile. "But we are lucky that Cintra will soon be destroyed, we just have to find a way to prolong this war to make both nations spend many resources in this fight, which will greatly facilitate the Nilfgaardian invasion." He concluded.

"Whatever your decision, Master Vilgefortz, you will have great success, and I will do anything for you." She said with admiration for her master's plans and the man she admired the most.

"Yes, my dear assistant... soon... we will make the first moves that will make me the greatest power on this continent..." He said, taking out another image and placing it next to Madara. "When I capture these two children and use them, I could even consider myself a god among mortals..." He said, looking at the image of two children and then back at the map with pieces representing the armies. "But first, these countries must be destroyed." He said as he slapped the pieces, knocking them to the ground, a demonstration of his own ambitions, whether they were against Cintra, Angren, or the fool of Nilfgaard, he would use them all.
