Ciri felt the air get cloudy.

The window not far away was open, but not a trace of wind drifted in, which was the effect of the protective spell left by Yennefer.

Through the window, the girl could see the brightly lit palace in the distance, which reminded her of the banquets she had attended when she was in Sintra.

In the past, she hated similar occasions, but now she just wanted to sneak out, even if it was to sneak a glance.

"Want to see it?"

A voice came, and Ciri nodded subconsciously, "Of course." ”

As soon as these words came out, I suddenly realized something, and after a moment of vigilance, it was a great surprise.

Turning his head suddenly, the door opened, and it was a familiar figure leaning against the door.

"Roger!"

The girl rushed forward with a lunge.

"It's really you, it's really you!"

It's been more than half a year since the last separation, but it's been too long for Ciri.

As Roger's confinement in the room was opened, the air was recirculated, and Ciri found himself free to enter and exit the room.

But at this time, she had no intention of running away at all, the three people she cared about the most were here, excitedly turning around the ground a few times, and Ciri couldn't wait to show Roger his recent cultivation results.

"Take me out of here, Roger, I don't want to learn any magic, I hate it, I want to be with you, let's go back to Kylemohan, if you're mentoring me for a winter, by next year, I'll be able to defeat Lambert!"

"You said, make me the second most powerful swordsman in this world!" Ciri clenched her fists.

"Aren't you going to be the strongest?" Roger joked.

Cillion still looked proud, but in fact, she had seen many people in the past six months, her eyes rose, and she finally understood a little bit of Roger's strength.

"If I really lose to you, I'm afraid Lambert will be in pain, right?"

"Well, take me away, as long as you ask, they will definitely agree."

"Not necessarily." Roger smiled and shook his head, then followed the light to look at the palace in the distance.

"It seems to be pretty much the same." He muttered something inexplicably, then looked at Ciri.

"I hope you should understand that learning swordsmanship with me should be your choice, not an excuse to flee from here and from magic."

"Do you understand? Although the results may seem similar, they are actually very different. ”

Roger's expression turned serious.

"I'm not like them, and if you choose me, there's no going back."

"Think about it, your choices, your hatred, and your future."

Ciri vaguely sensed that in Roger's world, a fourteen-year-old girl might still be just a child.

But in this world, fourteen years old is enough to know a lot.

The palace in the distance was in a revelry, and Roger knew what would happen to the palace at the foot of the hill the next morning.

The Sunnid Island Incident, a huge change that affected the entire wizarding world.

Due to many reasons such as desires, positions, interests, etc., the original Wizards' Guild and the Warlocks' Council were completely split.

No one is innocent in this conspiracy, and everyone believes that their choice is the right one.

Wigofortez and Francesca represented the interests of Nilfgaard, while Felipa and others integrated the wizards of the north.

It's just a matter of winning and losing.

Wigofortez and the others were ready to attack, but what they didn't expect was that Felipa would strike first.

Roger could have taken Ciri away from the maelstrom, but Geralt and Yennefer remained on the mountain, though he warned them. But many things, before the dust settles, most people always want to give it a try.

They agree that Roger is powerful, but especially Yennefer, who has been a warlock for many years and has experienced countless ups and downs. The recognition of her own strength makes it impossible for her to live according to Roger's will.

And Roger was tired of that.

This time he plans to step into this vortex and find an opportunity to solve many things once and for all.

It is not simply to kill some people, but to fundamentally deter and change the views of some people.

So instead of leaving, he listened to Ciri talk about her studies at the temple and the strange things she had seen along the way.

When it comes to studying life, the girl is drowsy, but when it comes to adventure, Ciri immediately becomes energetic.

She has a strange blood in her veins, but perhaps this girl really does not belong to the court, and she should ride through the wilderness and be a free witcher.

Early morning.

The sun had not yet risen, and a faint light lit up on the distant sea, and the whole Losummer Palace was silent, and Ciary pulled Roger to talk almost all night, until it was dark and he fell asleep.

At first, she was almost in a state of opposition in her relationship with Yennefer, but as she got to know each other, the two women, one older and one younger, gradually came together and understood each other's hearts.

If Triss is a close sister, then Yennefer is a strict mother, and although the two are close, there are many things that they can't tell Yennefer in their hearts.

And her feelings for Roger are also very special.

It's like a teacher and a friend.

So when Yennefer saw Luo Huang in the room, she was not surprised.

"You're going to take her up the mountain?" Roger asked.

Ye Naifa nodded, Ciri has an ancient bloodline, and under special circumstances, he can see what is happening thousands of miles away, and even has a certain degree of prediction.

Yennefer was going to take Ciri to the palace in the distance.

She hopes that Ciri's abilities can play a decisive role in this rebellion, so that the girl should be able to find refuge in the maelstrom.

Her idea may have been good, but the situation was completely out of her control, or she believed the wrong person.

Ye Naifa nodded, she was no longer wearing last night's gown, but a lighter outfit.

"Go back, I won't let you take her up the mountain."

"You don't have the right to do this, we're protecting her, Roger."

Ye Naifa took a deep breath and stabilized his emotions.

"Give her to me, I've arranged everything, and as long as this success we can achieve a decisive advantage, and then Ciri will never live in hiding again."

"She can walk in the sun, free to choose whether to be a princess or a sorceress."

Yennefer explained.

"Isn't it good to be a witcher?" Roger smiled.

"Accept physical mutations and live a life of displacement?" Yennefer shook his head.

"If it had been before, I might have thought it was nothing, but this time of getting along ...... She ...... in my heart"

"I not only hope that she can be safe, but also that she can live a prosperous and happy life."

"So give her to me and let me do the right thing!"

Yennefer's attitude gradually hardened.

"Does Geralt know your plans?"

Roger said slowly.

Yennefer was silent.

"He doesn't have to know that I'm doing this for Ciri and for him."

Yennefer made up his mind.

"You've always been like that." Roger shook his head.

"Always make decisions for someone else, you should ask Geralt, if he was here with you, it might be a completely different situation."

"So go back, I don't want to pay attention to whatever you're messing around in the mountains, but don't get this girl involved."

Roger straightened up Ciri's messy short silver hair and slowly stood up.

"She's made her choice."

"And I made a promise." Roger replied.
