Chapter 12 Princess (Page 2/2)
Although he had some associations when he first saw the little girl's gray hair, combined with the time when the Sintra War had just broken out, he did not expect that things would be so coincidental.
This age, this hair color, and a little girl who appeared at this time, combined with the fact that she knew the witcher Geralt.
Then the person in front of him is most likely the important protagonist in the original novel, the daughter of fate of the witcher Geralt, the princess of Sintra, Cirilla.
In the original novel, this girl did survive in the forest alone for more than half a month after getting rid of the Nilfgaard cavalry, and then fled the Kingdom of Sintra with other refugees.
Unexpectedly, the forest where she was was actually nearby, and the two of them met by coincidence. Should it be called fate? Or is it the invisible arrangement of fate.
Frank's mind was racing as he considered a lot of issues, but he quickly made a decision. He looked into the little girl's eyes and said softly:
"Sorry, kid, although I've heard of the White Wolf, I don't know Geralt."
"But, like him, I'm a witcher."
"I once heard a story about Geralt the White Wolf and his daughter of destiny. I guess you may be the girl in the story, Cirilla, right?"
The little girl's face changed when she heard this. She lowered her head and stammered,
"No, I'm not Cirilla, I'm just an ordinary girl fleeing."
As she spoke, she looked up at Frank, her emerald green eyes were clear and sparkling.
"Since you are a witcher like Geralt, can you take me to find him?"
"I have something important to see him about."
Frank could tell that the other party was lying, but he did not expose Ciri's lie. Instead, he thought for a few seconds and then said to Ciri seriously:
"Not for now, little girl."
"First of all, we witchers are homeless and wanderers carrying out missions all over the world. We may not meet a colleague for several years, let alone go looking for someone specifically." "Secondly,
the Kingdom of Cintra is too dangerous now. There is a war going on here, and there are refugees, bandits and Nilfgaardian troops everywhere."
"The most important thing for us now is to leave this country and go to a safe place."
As he said that, Frank looked at Ciri's somewhat disappointed face and comforted her:
"However, if you are willing to come with me, I will help you find Geralt."
"Not just because of your business, in fact, as a witcher, I also have something I want to find him for."
"If I go to find him, it will definitely be much faster than you do yourself."
"How about you come with me, little girl?"
Ciri was still a little hesitant after hearing this, but after thinking for a while, looking at Frank's unusual eyes, she bit her lower lip and nodded vigorously.
She was too scared and too hungry.
As a pampered princess, she stayed in the forest for several days alone. The hardship can be imagined.
Seeing this, Frank reached out and touched Ciri's hair, then handed the chicken leg in his hand to her, and said with a smile:
"It's your luck to meet me, little girl."
"By the way, I will call you Ellie from now on, and don't tell anyone else your identity."
"And your hair, I have to find a way to change its color."
"Before you meet Geralt, you have to think of yourself as someone else, understand?"
