After we arrived at the castle Geralt and I were separated. I was brought to a chamber where I bathed and cleaned up. Soon a chamberlain walked in and spoke

"The Gentlemen will not have to be shaved since he is already clean faced" The chamberlain says speaking in a high tone with his arms behind his back he then gestures to fancy looking garments "The gentlemen with put these on then alert me when he is finished"

He walked away so I got out of the bath and put on the cloths 'Probably the most fancy thing I've ever worn' I think to myself with a chuckle

"Is the gentlemen finished?" The chaimberlin ask's impatiently

"Indeed I am" I say walking out. He examines me up and down

"The gentlemen looks more than presentable surprisingly. Now do you know how to bow?" He asks as I give him a death stair

"I don't bow nor kneel to anyone" I say in a slightly evil tone. In truth I had never done it. Not even to the emperor of skyrim or any of the jarls. I the dragonborn kneeled to now man

The man looks displeased "Fine the gentlemen will follow me" he walks out and I follow as we're joined by Geralt In equally fancy garments

"So they got you dressed up too?" I ask him with a smirk

"Yea not for long I hate new doublets" Geralt says annoyed

"The gentlemen will stay close to me to avoid any run ins with guests" The chamberlain says as we walk passed several people I assume to be nobles

Very drunk nobles I deduce from the women falling over wine glass in hand

We soon arrive at the emperors chamber with several nobles

"His majesty emperor Emhyr Var Emreis guests have arrived" The chamberlain says with a bow as Geralt follows suit but I just stand with my arms crossed

The nobles seem offended by this not that I care

"Everyone but the witcher and his companion leave" Emhyr says with a wave of his hand as the nobles and chamberlain leave "Now Geralt I assume your wondering why I've summoned you here"

"You could say that" Geralt says crossing his arms

"My daughter Cirilla has returned" the emperor says gesturing to a picture of a familiar young girl on the wall as the realization hits me

"Are you sure?" Geralt asks going into Information gathering mode "Where has she been seen?"

"Believe me Geralt I would not ask you to come if all I had was rumors. One of my spies has been tracking her in velen" Emhyr says standing up "I wish to hire you to find her, it will be much more than your normal contracts worth I assure you"

"Why do you want her found?" Geralt asks suspicious of his intentions

"She's his heir Geralt" I say speaking for the first time "The emperor more than likely wants to give her his throne or something of the sort"

The emperor seems surprised "I would never have thought you to travel with such intelligent companions Geralt. He is correct however. But you will agree regardless if nothing more than I will pay you" he says then looks at me "As well as your companion"

"Alright we'll find her. Where do we start?" Geralt asks in his normal Geralt tone

"For that I direct you to Yennifer she will inform you of all the information available" The emperor says taking a seat "Now off with you two" he says waving his hand

We leave and are escorted by the chamberlain to Yennifers quarters

We enter to see her starring at a piece of paper "Is it true is it her?" Geralt asks as we walk in
