The Queen of the Dryads, Eithna, was obviously curious about the two princesses, but she seemed to have a sense of propriety. It was not just because of Geralt, but also because of their status as Princesses of Cintra. She would not do anything to them.
Eithna did not want to become the mortal enemy of a human kingdom.
Therefore, she chose to entertain the two princesses and Geralt. She also said that since they had drunk the Water of Brokilon, they were qualified to join her force. They could choose their own fate.
Olivia realized that the Dryads of the Brokilon Forest were already friendly. The yellow dots on the map had turned green, indicating that they had become allies. Generally, hostile forces would become red dots.
Whether it was Olivia or Cirilla, they chose to leave the Brokilon Forest with Geralt. Although the green life in the forest was a little interesting, it would definitely get boring after a long time.
In addition, Cirilla's impression of Geralt had finally changed. Perhaps it was because she had a clear goal now. She and her sister could follow Geralt and become witchers!
Now that Cirilla had a favor to ask, she was no longer as cold to Geralt. She even made Olivia, who had always been disrespectful to Geralt, address him as "Old White Wolf." She was especially rude to Geralt.
In fact, Geralt was even more open-minded when he was with Olivia. He told Olivia about how the power of his signet had suddenly increased after he used the "Foggy Potion." Even his teacher, Vesemir, was shocked. He said that Geralt was in luck. For witchers, every new potion could greatly improve their combat effectiveness.
The potion that increased the strength of the signet allowed them to directly use the fire Signet of Ignis to deal with some troublesome monsters that were weak to spells.
Geralt felt very relaxed when he was with Olivia. He did not have any burdens. He even thought that Olivia, who was "honest in body but mean in mouth," was super cute.
When he was with Cirilla, who was connected to him by the "Law of Surprise," he felt that he could not let go. This was not because he was biased, but because he cared about Cirilla too much. He always felt that he had a heavy responsibility, and he was afraid that he could not bear it.
The last time Geralt met Cirilla, he could have taken her away, but he didn't. Now that he had accidentally encountered her again, he felt the miraculousness of the Law of Surprise more and more, but he was still hesitant about whether he should take Cirilla away or not.
A kind-hearted witcher like him never liked to force others to do things.
However, as the saying goes, "If you don't take what the heavens have given you, you will be the one to blame." If Geralt did not take Cirilla away again and again, Cirilla might even meet with misfortune because they had deliberately violated the "Law of Accidents."
Geralt had already brought the two out of the Brokilof Forest. He decided to seriously ask Cirilla for her opinion.
Cirilla had also decided in her heart that she would follow Geralt with her sister. At least, the road ahead would not be lost.
However, at this time, Druid Ermion, who was sent to find the two princesses, easily found Geralt and the other two. It was clear that this famous Druid had some tricks up his sleeve. These days, even those who were proficient in Gwent could not afford to offend him.
Ermion was the one who had lifted Donnie's curse with Geralt. Naturally, he knew about the "Law of Surprise" between Geralt and Cirilla. After exchanging greetings with Geralt for a while, he went straight to the point. "This time, I only want to bring back Olivia. As for Cirilla, I hope that you can take her with you. This time, you met her, it was fate. You don't have to worry about Calanthe. I will help you find a good excuse. "
A Druid like Ermion naturally believed in fate. In order to make Geralt make up his mind to take Cirilla away, he even said that if he did not do so, then Cirilla would meet with misfortune.
At some point, Geralt had indeed made up his mind. However, when Cirilla heard that Ermion wanted to bring Olivia back, she immediately panicked. She said very stubbornly, "I will not be separated from my sister. I will go wherever she goes. If he wants to take me away, then take my sister with him."
This was the perfect choice in Cirilla's eyes. However, Ermion was very insistent on bringing Olivia back. After all, there was no "Law of Surprise" between Olivia and Geralt. Leaving little Princess Olivia alone would be very dangerous.
Similarly, this time, Ermion had been asked by Calanthe to find Olivia and Cirilla. He could not just return empty-handed. Wouldn't he be betraying Calanthe's trust?
Geralt left in a carefree manner. He did not have the determination to take Cirilla with him. He still did not think that Cirilla would be happier with him than being a noble princess in Cintra. It was too cruel to let a girl become a witcher.
As for Cirilla's misfortune, he felt that the probability of it happening was not high. Cirilla had been fine when she strayed into the Brokilon Forest. She did not encounter any trouble. She had even become a guest of Queen Eithna. Therefore, Geralt did not think that Cirilla would encounter any misfortune in the future.
Olivia, on the other hand, watched calmly from the sidelines. She was also where Cirilla was.
In her opinion, the matter of Cirilla taking her to escape from the marriage was actually an interesting game. She did not expect Cirilla to successfully escape with her, so now that she was brought back by Cirilla, she appeared very calm.
In fact, as the war was approaching, there was no time for the engagement ceremony. If the Kingdom of Cintra fell, then the engagement between her and Prince Kistrin would naturally become meaningless.
When Olivia and Cirilla were brought back, it was already spring. The weather had become very warm. This also meant that the Nilfgaardian Empire's attack had officially begun!
Calanthe could not care less about reprimanding her two naughty granddaughters. Instead, she and her husband, Eist, personally led the army to the frontlines!
Calanthe's momentum was very strong!
Calanthe confidently went up to attack!
Calanthe typed "GG"!
This war was known as the "Battle of Marnadar." The two sides were the Cintra Army and the Nilfgaardian Army. King Eist Tuersek and Queen Calanthe of Cintra personally participated in this battle.
When the Cintra Army headed for the Valley of Marnadar, they found themselves surrounded by the Nilfgaardian Army.
The Cintra Army bravely resisted the attack of the Nilfgaardian Army. The battle lasted from early morning to dusk. In the end, the Cintra Army was outnumbered and almost completely wiped out.
King Eist Tuersek was killed in the battle. Queen Calanthe gathered the remaining troops and retreated back to the city of Cintra.
This was, without a doubt, an important turning point. It could be said that Calanthe's hard work over the years had been completely lost in this battle. The effective forces of the Cintra army were almost completely wiped out.
