- Ciri: [Echoing, as if possessed] Verily, I say unto you the era of the sword and the ax is nigh, the era of the Wolf's Blizzard. The Time of the White Chill and the White Light is nigh... the Time of Madness and the Time of Contempt.
- Geralt of Rivia: Listen to me-...
- Queen Calanthe: I did listen once. Let a hedgehog into my court. It got me Pavetta dead. I won't lose Ciri too. So you and destiny can both fuck right off.
- Istredd: I spent years; waiting for this moment where you realized we're meant for each other. You know, coming up with excuses to study at Aedirn. Henges, dead languages, anything to get closer to you again, and... every request I made was denied. You shut them all down.
- [sighs]
- Istredd: Stregobor, of all people, snapped me out of it. "Forget about the girl. Get back to work." And work saved me. Remembered why I loved it. The beauty, the purity. No... distractions when I'm in it. You went after the thing you loved. So you chose power.
- [Exhales sadly]
- Istredd: At least you kept your eyes.
- Eist: I fight side by side with my Queen.
- Geralt of Rivia: You put too much faith in that woman.
- Eist: Well, you weren't there. After Pavetta died, Calanthe would wake up howling in the night. The Lioness, nearly broken. Someone who's able to pull themselves out of that, they'll have my confidence till my final day.
- Vilgefortz: Nilfgaard. Their army's camped near Cintra, and we think they're going to attack.
- Vanielle of Brugge: And they won't stop there. We need allies from the Northern Kingdoms.
- Yennefer: I'll leave this to the people who actually give a shit.
- Geralt of Rivia: [Surrounded by assassins] This is on your Queen.
- Mousesack: We will both die.
- Geralt of Rivia: Blame destiny.
- Yennefer: Where's Tissaia?
- Vilgefortz: Tissaia can wait.
- Yennefer: Fine, I'll just follow the sound of crying girls.
- Fringilla: In Nilfgaard, we know what it's like to have corrupt leaders. But under our new leader, Emperor Emhyr, we've changed. We've strengthened trade. We've funded research. We have torn down walls, whilst Queen Calanthe has done nothing but put them up.
