Third Person POV

Northern kingdoms.

...

...

Geralt continued north while the woman clung to his back, holding on as if she might part from him at any moment after all that mess with men trying to rape her, she did not want to live through that terror again.

They had left the capital a few days ago and since Geralt could not be as fast as Madara, he was still exiting the country, after all the chaos. Following the forest to the north of him and heading towards the border of the northern countries.

Geralt continued to guide the woman through the forest, stopping only to eat and feed while he stopped to hunt something or kill some monster along the way, but nothing too difficult to deal with.

"Can these things kill us?" the woman asked fearfully as she looked at the bodies of necrophages left by the witcher.

"They can, but with the war... they are spreading everywhere wanting to grab bodies from the battlefield, so it's easy to deal with them until the end of this country, encountering only 1 or 2," Geralt spoke in his indifferent tone while cleaning his sword, before starting to move on.

His initial plan was to leave the capital and go to Skellige in search of Cirilla, but since he ended up finding this woman, he headed north, giving up the idea of going to Skellige initially, but still keeping the idea of sailing there, wanting to meet Mousesack, his acquaintance, and try to find clues about where that Madara took Cirilla, before waiting for them in Kaer Morhen.

"Do you have any relatives... in Temeria?" Geralt asked, since it was his goal before heading to the coast, where he would not need to deal with black soldiers.

"I have an uncle... in a village to the south... My mother was from that village... but she married a man from the capital of Cintra and went to live with him... I can only say the name... I don't know where it is..." She commented while Geralt nodded, as this information was enough for him.

"That is enough... let's go there," he said, since he ended up being responsible for this young woman, as they continued forward.

Meanwhile, it was already night in the capital of Cintra, while the emperor once again found himself in Calanthe's audience room, looking at his men kneeling before him as they passed some reports, all watching him cautiously.

"So..." he began, looking at the man in front of him with a wound on his chest, kneeling with a defeated and frustrated look on his face. "You're saying they escaped? That the boy managed to deceive you and took Calanthe's granddaughter away?" He spoke in a calm tone, but everyone could feel the man's fury behind those words.

"Yes, your highness... I was so close, but I couldn't catch the princess because the boy used those unknown tricks transforming into a knife," he said with a tone of shame.

"You're saying the boy hid transformed into a knife?" Emhyr could not help but raise his eyebrow at that, questioning if his man was sane.

Everyone had strange looks towards the man, wondering if he had any idea what he was talking about, while Francesca had a cautious look, believing what she heard, despite seeming absurd, but after what she saw on the battlefield... she could not doubt with the others.

The mage archer kneeling in front of the emperor was angry with himself after trying to reach the princess, and when he believed he would finally catch her as Emhyr wanted, he was surprised, he had to return defeated, even more so when he had spoken about finding the princess traveling to Verden after they found her in the coastal city.
