Unfortunately, the Regent's ideas were, for now, just fantasies.
Unless Princess Adda truly married him, or his combat prowess was enough to turn the tide of a war and earn the recognition of the world, or his influence had grown so powerful that no one could ignore it.
Otherwise, as someone who wasn't even a noble yet, it would be very difficult for him to achieve a special position like that of a Regent.
The next day, Princess Adda indeed took the throne in the Audience Hall, and with the assistance of several royal advisors and kingdom ministers, began to exercise her authority as Regent Princess.
And on her first day of governing the country, this beautiful princess issued a rather willful decree.
That was to bestow the title of Baron of Velen upon Witcher Guilliman Jereman, making him a true hereditary noble and the de facto ruler of the Velen region.
This decree should have ideally waited until King Foltest's return, to be issued by the legitimate king himself.
However, the previous Baron of Velen had already pledged allegiance to the princess and signed a contract similar to a land transfer document, in exchange for a large sum of money.
This territory had, in fact, become the princess's private property.
Although the current appointment was a bit unconventional, it was the princess's private affair, and outsiders had no right to interfere.
As the saying goes, "The vassal of my vassal is not my vassal."
Just like the current war in Maribor, even the King cannot command the subordinates of his subordinates to obey his orders.
Even if the King returned, he couldn't say anything about this appointment.
However, although the Witcher had successfully become a noble and the Lord of Velen, his reputation as the princess's lover became even more widespread due to this willful decree.
Many people believed that this Witcher must have used dark magic to bewitch the princess to receive such an astonishing reward; otherwise, why would a mere Witcher be so highly regarded?
A noble, and a noble with a fiefdom at that.
This was already the ultimate dream for the vast majority of commoners, a dream most wouldn't even dare to have.
That afternoon, witnessed by the kingdom's ministers and royal advisors, Guilliman and the princess held the investiture ceremony, officially making him a member of the nobility.
By night, he also expressed his gratitude to the princess who loved him so dearly, in his own way.
Over the next few days, the Witcher's life became a bit busier.
The vampire beauty Anne, the Wolf School Witcher Berengar, his chief disciple Alvin, and his foster mother Caroline, were all sent to Black Gull Island to participate in the construction of the academy castle.
This was also a form of protection for them; as long as they were on this secluded island, there was almost no danger that could threaten them.
He took some time to visit Margarita's residence and had a long, intimate conversation with the beautiful headmistress, who was like a Greek goddess.
Not only did he receive a bottle of magical aphrodisiac wine, worth over three hundred orens, as a gift.
He also received some regrettable news from Margarita.
The headmistress's vacation was over.
She had been away from the academy for two or three months, and as headmistress, she had to return to Aretuza Academy to teach the new sorceress apprentices.
It would likely be a long time until they met again.
However, upon learning that Guilliman had become Baron of Velen, Margarita's expression became excited again.
Because Aretuza Academy was located on a small island right next to Velen, although due to the special status of the sorceress academy, it wasn't considered part of Velen's territory and didn't have to pay taxes to Velen, the distance between the two was not far.
Margarita directly invited the Witcher to visit Aretuza Academy as a guest when he went to Velen.
She had spent a considerable amount of time with Guilliman and knew very well that this special Witcher was also a quite ambitious man.
Now that Aretuza Academy's status was not what it used to be, perhaps there were areas where she, as headmistress, and the Lord of Velen could cooperate.
After leaving Margarita's house, Guilliman rushed non-stop to the House of Night, where he was treated as a ready-made feast by several vampire beauties, along with the vampire queen, and was almost drained dry again.
Finally, he left this demonic lair with two thousand orens in compensation.
Alas, being too popular with women isn't always a good thing; it's quite unfriendly to the kidneys and loins.
Being with these beautiful women always meant an endless debt to repay, like an old ox worked to death.
Back on Black Gull Island, Guilliman was still not idle.
Aside from his scheduled meeting with the Goddess of Flowers a few days later.
He also had his previous promise to Francesca to find the Scoia'tael members in the Vizima swamps and prevent them from rushing into the city to rescue people.
