Hmm.

- You're not gonna eat that, are you?
- I'm starving.

But not that starving.

Good, because that
is disgusting.

I'm tracking the
monster's scent.

I've only seen an
Allamorax in books.

And those shoes weren't
made for climbing rocks.

Wait on shore.

Uh, I need to be amongst the
action to compose a proper ballad.

Besides, I'm more
nimble than you'd think.

- Go!
- I told you. I...

Oh my God. What
the fuck is that?

Nothing personal, big fella.

Show yourself!

Have mercy.

That creature means you no harm.

Not say the pearl divers
who hired me to kill it.

This isn't the first
attack in the area.

It can barely open its mouth.

It isn't eating humans.

It's eating oysters and the
divers' precious trinkets inside.

Its only crime is being hungry.

Have mercy.

But I could use a ride.

My children cannot eat
because of those humans!

There are no
oysters to be found!

I know you're upset, but
this is not the answer.

Silence!

We've had peace for too many
tides to have it end now.

Let the dark hatreds
stay in the past.

This council is doing everything it
can to prevent a war with Bremervoord.

You're not acting because your
daughter is in love with the prince.

The humans know it and are
taking advantage of it.

The humans have moved
beyond pillaging pearls.

They hired a Witcher to
murder the Allamorax.

Witcher?

If one sea creature is
in danger, we all are.

- She's right.
- We have to stop them!

Yes, we must fight!

What kind of king are you?

We shall take your proposal
into consideration.

Mother, you cannot be serious.

Sh'eenaz, you are
young and naive.

If a human's mouth opens,

a lie is bound to come forth.

Perhaps it is time for
more drastic measures.

My union with Agloval could
bring peace, not conflict.

I agree with my niece.

Perhaps war is not the
answer. But a wedding...

Be gone from this
place, Melusina.

Our daughter could
never marry a human.

Not that you could
ever understand

the depth of a mother's
love for her child.

Did she just call her barren?

You speak of the past, sister,

but this is about the
future of our people.

Yes, our people.

I am still a member of this
family and the royal court, Dahut.

Your disdain does
not negate that fact.

The only reason you're
permitted to live

is because I am keenly
aware of that fact, sister.

Leave. Now.

I will go. Willingly.

Do not fret.

But we both know
who he loved first.

So let me get this straight.
You had the monster right there,

and you just let it go.

The Allamorax
didn't kill anyone.

So the humans are lying?

- Could be.
- Are the merpeople the victims?

- Not necessarily.
- Oh.

- So they're hiding something too?
- Maybe.

No, no, no. No maybes. No maybes.
There is good and there is bad.

It's that simple.

Just make up your mind
and kill something.

Here's our finest spread.

Mm.

Mm.

Ah...

Too bad you can't afford it.

This is just like when we
were with that horny bugger

back at the edge of the world.

You're a monster hunter, but
only sometimes, apparently.

And with conditions.

A moral code.

We'll get coin another way.
Somewhere other than Bremervoord.

Salve to my heart,
if not my stomach.

We only came to this latrine of a town
to avoid running into you-know-who again.

I don't wanna talk about her.

That violet-eyed witch dictates
where we can or can't go

and how foul a mood you're in.

No more Yennefer.

What's the matter.
Water not suit?

It's hot, Yennefer, but murky.

Wouldn't be right to send
you out on a night like this.

You cover the booze.
I'll cover the bed.

All I said was
Tretogor's black markets

are for idiots looking
to buy miracle cures,

neither of which I
thought applied to you.

A fine reminder that you have no
idea what you're talking about

or who you're dealing with.

I was hoping to
remedy that tonight.

Then another thing
you're wrong about.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

Have at it.

Look, I'm just saying, your moral code
is getting in the way of my eating.

This bread is inedible!

Halfsies?

Hand over the coin you've
been earning, then.

Harsh. Harsh, but fair.

So I will make you a deal.

I'll take the first job that comes
my way if you agree to do the same.

Codes for none. Coin for
all. What do you think?

Oi.

You the Witcher
they talking about?

What let the monster go?

You are mistaken...

- Yes, that's me.
- Son of a bitch.

A Witcher what won't kill monsters?
Whoever heard of such a thing?

Oy! Welcome to me tavern!

But I don't serve ale!

Get out, you lazy louts!

Out!

Forgive me, but are
you Jaskier the Bard?

The Song Don of Oxenfurt?
The Crooner of the Continent?

Ooh, never heard those
before, but yes, 'tis I!

Looks like there are green shoots
of culture among the fertilizer.

What would you like? A
signature? A bespoke composition?

A personalized ballad for your
lover? Lovers? Lover's lover?

I'm in charge of tomorrow's
Imbaelk festival.

Getting a fancy bard like
yourself would do wonders.

The king will be there, so we
need to put on a good show.

And I pay well.

Now, can I trust you to be
sensible during my performance?

The last time I left you alone at a
banquet, you ended up with a child.

A Child Surprise, and it's a
mistake I won't soon make again.

Ah.

I'll be a tough act to follow.
Good thing this lot is going first.

Mm-hmm.

Well, wait. If you like that,

wait till you see my
solo on the psaltery.

The psaltery is like a harp,
but it's, like, really small.

It's much more
practical if you ask me.

Shut your trap! I'm
trying to watch the show!

Uh, that is no way to
speak to your headliner.

Headliner?

- That's rich.
- Does that mean what I think it means?

Because I'm afraid I can
only accept top billing.

A deal's a deal.

I know what our deal was, Geralt,
but it's not good for my brand.

Come, now. Have a
little humility.

I practically begged
Drouhard to give you the gig.

Little Eye!

It's good to see you, Julian.

Julian?

Oh, excuse my
slack-jawed companion.

Essi Daven, meet
Geralt of Rivia.

You two know one another?

We grew up together.
Right here in Bremervoord.

You said you were from Oxenfurt.

Don't let the fancy
trousers fool you.

This one's a backwater bumpkin,
just like the rest of us.

So I took some poetic license with
my personal history. Big deal.

Who could blame me?

Growing up in a place like this.

Jump!

- Oy, come on! Jump!
- Come on, hurry up!

Or are you too scared?

Like I said. If you jump,
I'll give you back your toy.

- He's gonna pee himself.
- He's never gonna jump.

Pankratz!

Let me go first, Pankratz.

I'll show you how it's done.

Whoa, did you hear that?

Ooh!

He didn't jump. He fell!

Get him, Zelest.

Stop! He can't
breathe! Let him up!

Come on, Essi. You're
his mom now, huh?

- Someone should do that to you, Zelest.
- We're just having some fun!

- Are you all right?
- It's just a game.

I'd call you a bastard, but everyone
here already knows you're one.

- Came out of nowhere.
- She showed him!

Did you see that?

Huh. What happened
to the little shit?

What, Zelest?

He was the king's bastard
kid and a real prick to boot.

He probably died of syphilis
in a debtor's prison.

Half-blind, crazed,
and salivating.

I've not spent much
time thinking about it.

Ooh.

King Usveldt. Prince Agloval.

- The king!
- The king!

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

And Commander Zelest.

Always was a real
sucker-upper-kicker-downer, wasn't he?

Prince Agloval appointed
him as military advisor.

- The nerve of the man.
- This is bad.

- Risky talk for royal subjects.
- They've had enough.

Five attacks on divers
in the last few months,

and no one's held to account.

Except the Allamorax.

Most folks know that poor
creature was just a scapegoat.

The merpeople are notoriously territorial,
and our royals won't retaliate

because Prince Agloval's
in love with a mermaid.

Wow. That is messy.

This is the same as every
feud since the Conjunction.

Tradition awaits! If you don't join,
Mom will find some way to blame me.

- You don't want my death upon your hands.
- Oh. Um, my nephew.

Would you excuse me?

Look at this haul.

We'll be rolling
in coin in no time.

And by coin, you mean food.

Every kid in my
village is starving.

People in your parts should
stop breeding like bunnies.

Now, less lip flapping,
more shell cracking.

Ah! I found one!

Gimme that.

What we do with the rest?

Toss that worthless
shit back in...

Who's there?

Show yourself!

I thought you wanted
to be with your family.

I love 'em dearly, but we all
need a breather sometimes.

- Clearly, you can relate.
- Clearly.

Anyway, I wanted to spend
time with the mysterious man

who inspired so many
of Jaskier's ballads.

More like bollocks.

I'm sure you know Jaskier
is prone to dramatics.

Come, now. Are you being modest?

What of the song where you wrestled
a werewolf, barefisted in Moulderwood

under the glowing full moon?

I cured that werewolf
with enchanted wolfsbane.

And the one where you
defeated a horde of vampires

with three stakes in each
hand and one in the mouth?

One vampire. One stake.

And the one where
you found a djinn,

saved the life of a beautiful witch
and became bound to her through magic?

I'm simply saying, most would
lean into the embellishments.

Delight in the grand persona.

Like Jaskier, or
should I say, Julian?

I understand why he left.

Outside the palace,

men in Bremervoord are expected
to take up a trade on the seas.

But Julian was always creative.

Different.

And treated horribly for it.

By everyone except you. It takes
bravery to stand against a crowd.

You never thought to set your
sights beyond Bremervoord?

Things were different for
me. I was never unhappy.

Though I sometimes wonder what
life would be like if I left.

But I love the sea, my
family, and friends.

What more could this
Continent offer me?

So, why do they
call you Little Eye

when you have two huge eyes?

N-Not huge. I mean...

Normal-sized. Perfectly ordinary
and unremarkable human eyes.

Flirting is not your strong
suit, is it, Witcher?

My set was unparalleled.

Even these uncultured yokels
gave me a standing ovation.

Ha. I pity the local hack
who has to follow me.

Wish me luck.

Y-You... You're the local bard
everyone's been raving about?

Well, that's wonderful, Essi!

Oh, I'm... I am sure that
you will do splendidly.

Good luck. All right!

People used to mistake her
singing for mating cats,

so whatever happens,
just smile and clap.

Pearl prices being
what they are,

we should send every last one
of those meddling merpeople

to their briny graves.

My hands are tied as long as the
prince is chasing that shimmery tail.

The mermaid's no doubt bewitched him.
They're known to be magical tricksters.

No more deceitful than humans.

I don't recall asking for
your opinion, Witcher.

That's right. I
know who you are.

White Wolf.

If you know my name,

it's because you know his songs.

Hey? What's going on?

She's beautiful!
It's the princess!

Holy hirikkas. Who is she?

Princess Nispen of Maribor.

A late invitation, but
a wise one by the king.

A good reminder there are plenty
of human princesses to marry.

She even brought delicacies
from home, and fruit!

My kind of princess.

Let's hope Agloval's too.

What happened?

- Fetch a barber!
- Clear a path.

Who did this?

I was speared by
those fish fucks.

The vodnik.

They got me.

For good.

If it were Kovir, Cintra,
a human navy attacking us,

we'd be at war by now.

Are we a kingdom,
or are we cowards?

Sorry, son, but
the time has come.

We've run out of options.

Sire, if I may.

Not all options.

We have a monster
problem off our shore,

and a monster
hunter in our midst.

Witcher, your
services are required.

Find the vodnik who
did this and kill it.

Good luck. Ask anyone in town.

He already failed at
killing the Allamorax.

Because it was not the
beast you were looking for.

But clearly the vodnik are.
They work for the merpeople.

If the Witcher confirms that
they're the ones attacking divers,

you'll have no choice
but to declare war.

- Find them all!
- Kill them!

Kill the slimy bastards!

A deal's a deal.

This isn't what we agreed to.

Well, neither was
second billing.

We all must make sacrifices.

- I'm not helping justify a war.
- But maybe you can help prevent one.

What say you, Witcher?

Fuck.

Why didn't you tell me
you're from Bremervoord?

You know I'm not
actually from Rivia.

Well, it's not just that. It...

I had to leave this
place completely behind

so I could become
who I wanted to be.

In case you didn't notice, this town
is filled with small-minded fools.

Your friend Essi doesn't
fit that description.

Yeah.

Yeah, she's like a sister to me.

Aha! I knew it! I knew it. I could sense
there was something between you two.

If by "something" you
mean air and space.

She is a good woman.

Unlike that raven-haired, sunken-eyed,
serpent-tongued she-demon.

You need someone like Essi.

I need coin, peace, and quiet.

Look, you may appear
to be as tough

as this dreadfully overcooked meat
you've prepared, but I know the truth.

That underneath the
armor and the weapons

and the hair, the
ridiculous, ridiculous hair,

you are nothing but a softie.

A softie, soft, softie,
soft, soft, softie, soft...

- Ow.
- How's that for soft?

I suggest you get a good night's sleep.
We have a long journey ahead of us.

And I suggest you
open your heart.

Connecting with another human
isn't as awful as you make it seem.

- Uh, I... I'm sorry.
- Don't be sorry.

Do something about it.

- I couldn't tell if you felt the same way.
- I do.

It's just... It's all
a little too simple.

- The best things in life often are.
- That hasn't been my experience.

It's as if you delight in tragedy.
In selecting the most difficult path.

But you could choose
serenity. You could choose me.

You really should be more
inventive with your fantasies.

It's downright cliché.

Even in your dreams, you
can't keep up with me.

It doesn't have to be this way.

We could start again. Fresh.

You sound like your
singsongy lady friend,

and that is not a compliment.

Why do you push me away
when I try to come closer?

Please, Geralt. Wake up.

- Yen, I...
- Wake up!

What did I miss?

I know you don't like killing
creatures for no reason,

but that one almost killed you,

and you still let it go.

I let it go because it's more
help to me alive than dead.

It's a vodnik. Like the one
that killed the pearl diver.

And vodnik blood's iridescent.

If I can track it to the
den, we'll find the others.

I'm so sorry. The others?

That vodnik can fight, but it couldn't
take out a whole boatload alone.

They travel in schools, but how did
a sea creature know where to find us?

Now that you're with a famous bard,
everyone knows our whereabouts!

Fans can be really obsessive.

Or the Allamorax and merpeople
I spared put the word out.

Nah, it's me. It's
definitely me.

Essi?

Why are you following us?

You heard the king. We're
on the verge of war!

I need to know what's happening
in my town. I want to help.

I appreciate your willingness.

What I need right now is a
boat to follow that vodnik.

No, you don't. The tide
shifts over ten cubits,

and we're almost at low ebb.

Look.

At low tide, you can
walk to Dragons Fangs.

I remember being your age.
Being fascinated with all types.

Mistaking infatuation
with romance.

Until... I found your mother.

She was radiant.

Gracious.

She had a knack for seeing
only the best in people.

Gods know that must be
why she said yes to me.

I miss her too.

And I shall honor her memory by
marrying for love, as you did.

I want to marry Sh'eenaz.

I know how you claim to
feel about the mergirl, son,

but for those at our station,
marriage isn't only about love.

It's about duty.

Your life doesn't
just belong to you.

It belongs to your kingdom.

I'm thinking about the kingdom.

Our union has the potential to
bring peace to land and sea.

How so, Agloval?
Where would you live?

What offspring could you
produce? It's impossible.

- Apologies for the interruption.
- No bother. I was just leaving.

For what it's worth, I've tried to
tell him to end it with that fish girl.

I appreciate that. He
values your advice.

Whatever you need. I'm
here to serve the kingdom.

And you, Father.

Thank you, Zelest.

Some days, I wish you
were my full-blooded son.

I'd love to see the
type of leader you'd be.

Everything looks so
peaceful from afar.

Who'd ever know the
turmoil that brews below?

I wish my parents,
all of my people,

could see that you
are just like us.

Even if your language is
horrendously ear-piercing.

Hmm. Across the
heavens, land, and sea,

I've never seen a creature
more beautiful than you.

This is love.

This is love.

Finally together.

Wishing I could spend the rest of
my days right here by your side.

Where is the Witcher
taking those humans?

My love, what is it?

I have to warn the others.

Dragons Fangs. They gave me
nightmares when I was young.

They're just a couple of rocks,
Julian. Nothing to be scared of.

Except for that vodnik den.

What'd you...

Who sent you after me?

If I told you, she'd kill me.

And if you don't, I will.

Is she the one who ordered
you to kill the pearl divers?

I've never killed any divers,

but I'm glad someone did.

You think you're protecting
your betters. You're not.

Because whoever she is, she's willing
to let you die for her fights.

People think I've gone
soft on killing monsters.

I'll prove them wrong
unless you give me a name.

It was...

What did you do?

Your job, Witcher!

You're as bad at saying thank you
as you are at killing monsters.

I see you're still getting others
to fight your battles, Julian.

I'm trying to stop a war. Why is
it you seem to be pushing for one?

Nonsense! I simply understand
what it means to lead.

Julian!

Essi!

Leave, or I'll kill the
only real monster I see.

My father will hear about this!

The water's rising too fast!

Essi, if you know the ocean,
now's the time to prove it.

Follow me.

Jump!

This seems like an awful...

What has happened?

It was the prince's
bastard brother!

He must be acting on his own. Agloval
would never allow such a thing.

Or he's simply slick enough
to hide his plans from you.

That human has distracted you from
your duty to protect the seas.

I warned you when
I saw the Witcher.

Presently, your hysterics are
the only thing distracting me.

I am a healer, not a fighter.

So let me help our cousin.

In the eyes of our kind,

war has already begun.

Hold on, Deroua. Deep breaths.

Thanks for your
help today, Essi.

And what of my help?

Got any more ale?

Everyone keeps blaming the
prince and the mermaid girl.

Those are the two we need to speak to.
Get the truth straight from the source.

They meet at dawn on Founder's Rock
each day. I see 'em from my window.

We can go in the morning.

I worry the humans
aren't looking for truth.

They're simply looking for a reason
to exterminate the sea creatures.

We survive off sea
life. Why kill 'em off?

Humans have a knack for
seeking short-term profits

and retelling the story
so it wasn't their fault.

I've seen it happen with sylvan horns,
basilisk scales, and now pearls.

It's no longer about
sustenance. It's about greed.

The vodnik said it
was hired by a "she."

Is this the queen's doing?

You seem certain about the mermaid
queen, but what's the motive?

A parent would do anything
to protect her child.

She believes Prince
Agloval to be a threat.

The way we've treated mermaids in
the past, can't say I blame her.

What passed for love in my childhood
was a cold patch of hay on a dirt floor

and enough meager rations
to survive another day.

Your kind has never
inspired that much trust.

Sounds like you're
trapped in your past.

Perhaps when solving
life's big mysteries,

start by looking
right in front of you.

Hmm.

Jaskier, tell me more of the time
you sang for the Countess de Stael.

I've already told you
that story three times.

I don't mean to be a pest. Your tales
give me a vicarious thrill, but I'll stop.

Thank gods. Agloval and the
princess better turn up soon.

I cannot deny a dear
friend's humble request.

It was a warm summer night in Maribor
when I was reunited with my countess.

Alas, there'd been a blight
for two-times-ten years!

- Twenty years.
- Twenty years!

So instead of making love under
the stars in her peach orchard

as the fragrant floral
scent wafted from the trees,

it was the smell of acrid fungi
underneath shriveled branches

that filled our
nostrils and our...

We don't wanna know
what it filled.

Fair enough, but alas, nothing
could stop our sweet, sweet passion.

Not even a fiefdom's economic free fall
as the fruit capital of the Continent.

- And they've never recovered since.
- Is that true, Jaskier?

Uh, you of all people doubt my
love for the Countess de Stael?

There they are.

Did your kind send a vodnik
to kill me last night?

I would have started with a
"good morning" first. Oof.

Please excuse him. He may
have the manners of a boar,

but he has the heart of a lion.

Or sea lion, in your case.

You speak beautifully.
I'm impressed.

Your lover talks like a cawing crow.
You may want to give him a lesson.

Lover? I barely know her.

Lady bard... Uh, Essi.

Come translate for me.

Tell Sh'eenaz that I would
like us to be married,

though it may take some
time to convince my father.

He wants to marry you. Now
he must convince his father.

I have a tail, and you have legs. How
can we turn this fantasy into reality?

She asks how to turn this
fantasy into reality.

- She has a tail, and you have legs.
- That is nothing in the face of love.

But love means being together.

And she cannot live among
the hideous dirt-walkers.

Her words. Not mine.

Perhaps I can build her a tank.

She's a princess, not a pet. To suggest
such a thing is beyond offensive.

I'm trying to
think of solutions.

And all your solutions require loss
on her part and nothing from you.

Not even a little sacrifice.

Her words,

or yours?

We can get back to this
lover's spat later.

Right now, I need to stop a war.

Ask her about the vodnik.

The Witcher asked you again
about yesterday's attack.

You can tell your Witcher
I heard him the first time.

I know nothing of
a vodnik attack,

except by the king's men.

- You say you were attacked.
- Shortly after your father hired me.

As if someone didn't want me to
discover who killed those pearl divers.

We saw you near Dragons
Fangs that morning.

I could tell Sh'eenaz was angry.

You swam off without so
much as a goodbye kiss. Why?

Were you angry when
you left him yesterday?

Of course I was angry. I went to save
my people from your brother's blade!

I am sure Zelest and his men

fought admirably to help find the
culprits who killed the pearl diver.

Perhaps my parents were
right about you humans,

if you would defend the
murderer who killed my cousin!

Perhaps Zelest was right
about you bewitching me.

I cannot believe I
fell for this! For you!

I liked you better when we
only fucked instead of talked.

So now what?

Now it all falls apart.

Lachlan Daven.

By decree of the
Honorable King Usveldt,

you are hereby conscripted to
the armed forces of Bremervoord.

What is the meaning
of this? He's a child!

He's 15. Under the law,
he's eligible to fight.

Fuck your law!

When... If war is declared,

your nephew will
either be on a ship

or a gibbet.

Humans. I can't stand
the sight of them.

There, there, poppet.

A relationship is bound to hit
choppy waters occasionally.

My mother is preparing for war.

My feelings towards
Agloval may have changed,

but I don't want any
more lives to be lost.

Sea creature or human.

Yes, I know.

I also know what it's like to
love a man you cannot be with.

I've been working on something
since the last council meeting.

You seemed so
distraught over Agloval.

A potion.

This will allow you to
take your lover's form.

You mean I'd... become human?

If you did something

he'd see reason.

That's not a reason I want!

I'd have to give up everything.

But I don't know if I
can take this, Auntie.

You keep that. You never know
what will happen, poppet.

A girl always needs options.

I don't even know why I'm out here
with you two. You don't need me.

That's not true.

Geralt is the brawn.
You're the brains.

Obviously, I'm the beauty.

But in this situation,
that's not entirely useful.

You're here for moral support.

Something severely
lacking at the moment.

Thank you for all
your help so far.

I didn't know you were
fluent in Merspeak.

How could you?

After all, you barely know me.

- Essi, th-that's not...
- I'm here for my nephew.

He's been sent to war because
of the attacks on pearl divers.

If you're right and
it's not the mermaids,

if the humans are at fault,

maybe he can be saved.

So this solves it.
The vodnik did it.

Wonderful. Can we leave now?

I'm not so sure. All the vodnik spears
are lodged at the same angle. From below.

Uh, so?

Vodnik have legs, and yet none
of them climbed aboard the ship?

Whoever killed the divers
attacked only from the water.

That necklace is only worn
by the mermaid royal family.

Your theory is right.
Queen Dahut is behind this.

I told you. A parent will
do anything for their child.

The king will never
back down now.

We must go to the
castle at once.

Didn't take you long to
move on from Sh'eenaz.

- It seems my love for her was misguided.
- What do you have for us, Witcher?

Empty hands and a mouthful
of excuses, no doubt.

Arrest him.

I know who killed
your pearl divers.

- I want to hear this.
- We already know it was the vodnik.

Doing the mermaids' dirty work.

It wasn't the vodnik, but the
creature wanted you to think it was.

Creature?

It took the shape of a kraken so
it could do the work of ten vodnik.

Kraken are terrifying,
I'll give you that,

but everyone and their brother
knows they're pea-brained.

- A kraken couldn't pull off an attack...
- I didn't say a kraken.

I said the shape of a
kraken. It was a mermaid.

I knew it.

Aye, and a royal one to boot.

I found this necklace on the
rudder of the pearl diver boat.

Only the royal mermaids are
allowed to wear the peridot.

I told you that scaly
girl wasn't to be trusted.

Except it wasn't Sh'eenaz. I doubt
she knew anything about this.

You said mermaids are
deceivers and tricksters.

Only one of the royals can
make potions and shape-shift.

The sea witch.

Melusina? I know she can do magic, but
how do you know she's a shape-shifter?

Because I've seen her do
it before. We all have.

I didn't kill the monster that attacked
your boats, because she's here right now.

Aren't you, sea witch?

Run, Melusina!

Useless pegs!

Wow, Geralt. You really know how
to spot those raven-haired witches.

- How'd you know she wasn't real?
- Because of something you said.

Maribor had a blight on
their orchards for 20 years.

Uh, two-times-ten years.

So she's not from Maribor. She
magicked that fruit into existence!

Ha! I solved the case!

You were in league with
that sea witch all along!

- Son.
- All these attacks.

All the pearl divers
and fishermen who died.

That was you and Melusina!

One attack should have
caused the dominoes to fall,

but you were so stubborn,
I had to keep going.

If you hadn't insisted on
hiring this sewer cleaner,

this problem would
be gone by now.

You killed our people!

And I would do it again to get
you to come to your senses.

Our family has sat on that
throne for 11 generations,

and there will be 11 more generations
once you find the right princess.

Mother would be
disgusted with you.

Don't you dare speak
of your mother to me.

I'm doing this for
her, you fucking child!

Her legacy will die because
of your stubborn arrogance.

Those divers. What
about their legacies?

None of them would have had to
die if you weren't so selfish.

You made me do this. Their blood
is on your hands, not mine.

If this is how I'd have to
rule, I want no part of it.

We'll just, uh,
follow the prince out.

Don't worry about us.

We attack now!

Round up the conscripts. Zelest!

Dump their bodies out
past Dragons Fangs.

You love those sea monsters so
much, you can be with them forever.

No.

I pushed for war because I
thought we'd been attacked.

Bought into the old prejudices.

- But it was you.
- Watch yourself, son.

Don't call me that!

A lifetime of not being enough,

and now you want to claim me.

No! I'm not going to add to the
bloodshed to prop up a deceitful king!

I have to protect Agloval, as
much as he's disappointed me,

but you've never been anything
but a mistake I wanted to erase.

And now, I'll do just that.

Dump his body too.

Your highness, no one will
give me a straight answer.

What's going on at the docks?

The royal fleet is
sailing to Dragons Fangs.

I fear we're going to war.

Where are Geralt and Jaskier?

They confronted
my father. He's...

You won't see them
again, Essi. I'm sorry.

And you're going to let that happen?
Then you're no better than he is!

Watch your tongue, bard!

Remember to whom
you are speaking.

Oh, I know. I'm talking to a
man who lucked into a throne.

Jaskier was right to leave this shithole
of a kingdom. I defended this place.

Thought anything that
went wrong could be fixed,

but that's not up
to me or my family.

We're just the poor people
outside the palace walls.

It's up to yours.

Too bad none of you give a
sod about the rest of us.

- That's not true.
- Then prove it!

You could stop this if you had a fraction
of the courage that Witcher does!

He was trying to stop this war.

Keep our people alive.

It takes bravery to
stand against a crowd.

That Witcher's as honorable
as anyone in this kingdom.

If that was Sh'eenaz out there,

what would you do?

- Are you all right, Auntie?
- I'll be fine soon enough.

Boats are above.
They're coming for us!

What's happening?

Your parents' reign is over.

This'll do.

I should kill you
first, Witcher,

but I sense you don't
fear pain or even death.

And yet, for all the talk of
Witchers lacking emotions,

I know how to hurt you.

Make him watch his friends die.

And make it quick.

I have a war to win.

Two useless subjects
no one will miss.

Geralt.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry I
made you make that deal.

I fucking knew I never should have
come back here to Bremervoord.

You were right to
leave, Jaskier.

Let me go first.

What's a bard to do?

Follow my lead, and stay alive.

Oh, we are so fucked.

Maybe not.

Sh'eenaz.

The king's in league with
your aunt. The sea witch.

But my prince. Where is he?

He didn't come.

Not even to stop a war? Not
even a little sacrifice...

He didn't know. And
he does love you.

Love shows up.

Look out!

Attack!

Sir!

I still like our odds.

Scratch that.

No!

You handle the Witcher.

Leave my niece to me.

Why are you doing this?

I stood up for you!

Basim was mine.

He and I had a real love.

But my sister gave him
the only thing I couldn't.

A fry. You.

I should have been on the throne
with my Basim, but Dahut took it.

Took him!

The pain I went through,

losing the one I loved the most.

It's her turn now.

They deserve to lose everything,

and they will.

Should have chosen those grotesque
legs when you had the chance.

Then again,

your human didn't even
care enough to come.

Sh'eenaz!

Agloval.

I've got this. Go!

Hmm.

Whoa!

Your aunt and I
agree on many things.

Biggest, all our problems
started with you.

Essi!

See how you swim now.

Geralt!

Geralt.

Sh'eenaz! Sh'eenaz!

Sh'eenaz!

- I thought you'd become a snack.
- Wouldn't be the first time.

You should have smelled
him after the selkiemaw.

- At least this time he got a bath.
- Where's Sh'eenaz?

No one's going to blame
you if you leave him here.

He's still my blood.

What did you do to her?

- Thank you, Mother.
- You're not the only healer in the family.

These creatures
are not our enemy!

And we are not yours.

We have been tricked!

Misled by those we trusted.

But the fighting stops now!

We will find a way to
live in peace again.

I promise you.

Now, let's go home!

I apologize, son.

For everything.

The sea witch proved
useful in one way.

There's a potion that allows its
user to take their lover's true form.

I'm going to marry Sh'eenaz,

and I'd like you to be there.

There's a way for
her to become human?

Hmm. Perhaps there's a
way to open my heart.

Of course, we'll put all the
unpleasantness behind us.

She'll take on a new identity,

and none in Bremervoord
will be the wiser.

Don't fret. I'll
take care of it, son.

I'm sure you will,

Father.

Checkmate.

This is the smallest royal
wedding I've ever attended.

Princes aren't typically
known for their restraint.

The fewer witnesses to
this spectacle, the better.

I suppose in some ways,
you did your job, Witcher.

Once the fish is human,
my line will continue.

Regardless of your
misguided sense of morality.

From the moment we locked eyes, my
heart belonged to you, Sh'eenaz.

You unlocked a version of
myself I didn't know existed.

What are you doing? Stop!

It's too later, Father!

You wanted me to hide my beloved,
lie to my kingdom and myself.

All to feed your own ego.

It has become clear to me. There
is nothing left for me here.

This is your fault, Witcher!

My kingdom. My legacy.

It will die with me.

If you saw beyond your pride,

lives could have been saved.

You had two sons.
Now you have none.

That is the legacy you deserve.

Agloval's prepared to give up his
entire life and everything he knows.

- I hope he's made the right decision.
- You did the same thing, Julian.

I'm sure the prince
will be fine.

So Agloval got his
princess in the end.

Hopefully, this marriage
brings peace, as they hoped.

I couldn't have figured
out the truth without you.

It's not something
I'm used to saying.

You are stubborn and
set in your ways,

but there's nothing wrong
with being part of a team.

Relying on another person.

- Sharing a life.
- I told you.

I've found it wise
not to trust others.

Who said love should be wise?

I know.

You don't have to say anything.

Essi, I'm sorry.

You don't have to be.

I've had enough adventure these
past few days to last a lifetime,

but someone else's lifetime.

I always wondered what life would
be like if I left Bremervoord.

But the reasons I
find you fascinating

are the reasons we
cannot be together.

I could never tame your Witcher
heart. Nor do I want to.

I want a family.

Stability. Peace.

That dream seems more farfetched
than a man marrying a mermaid.

You have a larger destiny.

You care about others, no matter
how hard you try and hide it.

I track monsters
and collect coin.

That's what Witchers
were bred for.

Humans believe in destiny.

But when you've
lived as long as I,

you know there's no rhyme
or reason to this song.

You simply dance
along to get by.

I'm not like you, Essi.

You're so much more like
me than you imagine.

I wish you could see that.
Maybe some day you will.

But for now, looks like
Jaskier will have to do.

Aw, would you look at those two?

Can't tell if they're
frolicking or fighting.

Just because you and your
accursed lover only have two modes

doesn't mean everyone else does.

I have great hopes for them. It's
young love, but it's still love.

I don't doubt that,

but there are still pearls
and greed and bruised egos.

Kings and queens may claim they're
looking out for their heirs,

but I've yet to meet a royal who
doesn't care more about their vanity

than their child.

I wish I weren't right.

No wonder you're such
a hopeless unromantic.

Not true.

It's just that normal
humans have short lives,

and even shorter memories.

Essi's wonderful,

but she doesn't understand me like
someone who's lived as long as I have.

- Someone like...
- Do not say Yennefer.

Wherever we go next, can we just make
sure we don't run into that she-demon?

Ooh.

- I've got it!
- Where to?

The farthest corner of the
Continent. No culture. No comforts.

No reason for that
spoiled witch to be there.

A place called Caingorn.

In the Dragon Mountains.

Where adventure awaits! And
Yennefer, notably, does not.
