This was a second chance for Cirilla to start all over, especially when her sister mentioned that their grandmother Calanthe had left the castle safely.
However, Cirilla's hatred of The Nilfgaardian Empire would never be quelled as easily…
This could be seen from her attitude towards Cahir. She thought that Cahir had imprisoned her sister and herself, taking them to The Nilfgaardian Empire in the South. No matter what, she had to escape with her sister.
Cirilla told Olivia of her plan to escape. Of course, Olivia gave her undivided support.
It was not a good idea to go to the Nilfgaardian Empire now. Nobody would respect them, even if they were the biological daughters of the Emperor Emhyr. In politics, none of that mattered.
Freedom was the last thing to expect in the Nilfgaardian Empire. They would most likely be forced into more marriages. Instead of running away from the entire army, it would be better to escape from Cahir's small division.
