Dynamic[]
Nostradamus and Olivia seemed to have a loving and caring dynamic, though whether it was mostly trauma-bound from Olivia's side remains unknown.
History[]
Early History[]
Although Olivia and Nostradamus both lived at French Court, with Olivia coming and leaving multiple times over the years, the two never met.
Season 1[]
Dirty Laundry[]
She'll heal
After giving Father Leduc medicine for his worsening joint pain, Nostradamus invites Sebastian into his office. Bash promptly carries in Olivia D'Amencourt, the old flame of the Dauphin of France who has been missing for months. Upon seeing that Olivia is unconscious, bruised and has slashes on her arm, Nostradamus asks what happened to her. Bash tells him about how he came across her in the woods and then asks Nostradamus if he can help her. They agree to keep Olivia's presence in the castle a secret so as not to have a dozen questioners overwhelm her while Nostradamus tends to her.
The next day, Father Leduc returns to Nostradamus' office to request more ointment for his pain, but Nostradamus is away. While looking for him, Leduc sees Olivia dozing in and out of her delirious state on the infirmery bed. Believing she is possessed, Leduc attempts to exorcise the demons out of her, but Olivia, not at all in control of herself, stabs Leduc with his own cross when he gets too close.
What happened?
Following her encounter with Leduc, Nostradamus straps Olivia to her bed for her and everyone else's protection. While attempting to feed her porridge, he asks her if she remembers what happened to her. Ominously, Olivia simply answers that The Darkness is coming and that it'll devour his soul.
- "The Darkness is coming. And it will take us all."
- —Olivia D'Amencourt
The Darkness[]
New day...
Nostradamus yet again asks Olivia if she could talk about what happened to her. After little persuasion, she tells him the tale of how she fled the castle when it was taken by Count Vincent. On her way, she ran into a girl with a mask over her face. After running for hours, she was captured by hunters and held for days while being fed on by a creature called The Darkness. One day, when she had lost so much weight that the bonds became loose, she escaped and ran for her life again.
The following day, Nostradamus wakes Olivia up with food and new clothes, as he believes it's time for her to rejoin society. However, Olivia doesn't want anything more to do with French court. She wants to stay there with him and live out the rest of her days away from other people, as she believes that the Darkness knew that she was a bad person and filled her with evil during her time in its lair.
- "I judge my actions, and they were wrong. I came here to betray people. I abandoned them when they needed me most."

Let me help you!
Nostradamus takes Olivia to a nearby pond and baptizes her, telling her that evil is a choice and that all that matters is what she chooses to be. He encourages her to hang on to who she thinks she is, for it will be her salvation, and she claims that she feels anew.
