In the end, Geralt did not take the little girl with mouse-gray hair.
At his insistence, Lann and Vesemir could only set off in the middle of the night, continuing toward Brugge.
Thanks to those Viden soldiers who were blocking the road and killing, Vesemir now also had a horse.
The three of them rode silently under the moonlight.
Lann, although he found the little girl Ciri quite pleasant, knew his boundaries.
The relationship with the girl, according to the unwritten law of accident, was Geralt's connection.
He had no right to demand that Geralt fulfill his duties.
Lann believed that Vesemir also thought the same.
The old Demon Hunter had already taken care of Ciri as if she were a junior, but when leaving, he only stood and looked at the girl's sleeping face one more time before riding away.
"I don't know if 'fate' exists..." Vesemir's aged voice broke the silence during the ride.
