Geralt and Regis travel to the palace, and Geralt has a revelation.
“I don’t know what to do!” Geralt howled, gripping to Regis like a lifeline. “I don’t know what I can do! I have done everything I could, and in the end, I stepped right into their trap!”
He felt Regis’ cool hands on his face, which was burning with shame, dread and fear.
“Geralt, my love, this isn’t the end.” Regis soothed, and Geralt sobbed, wrenching his eyes shut. “You may have stepped into the trap, but you haven’t triggered it. Think, Geralt. Think!”
Regis gripped his face hard enough that it hurt.
