Calanthe tried to reassure her granddaughter everything would be fine as Nilfgaard invades the city before sending her away so the queen can rest. Shortly after, a badly injured Calanthe returns from the lost battle, in which Eist was also summarily killed. She then asked Mousesack if her grandmother would be alright but he dodged the question, instead responding that she, Ciri, will be alright. Two days later, Ciri, having been locked away in the castle with Mousesack and Lazlo as her grandparents were off fighting the Nilfgaardian invaders, had grown agitated and Mousesack gave her a very short story regarding the curse of the Black Sun in which young girls were locked away in towers and systematically killed to prevent a prophecy of them causing the end of the human race from happening. As Ciri started to say no, Calanthe butted in saying Ciri would love to, making Ciri get up to go dance with him. Calanthe then gave Ciri advice regarding a fight, before they were interrupted by a nobleman and his young son, Martin, who asked to dance with Ciri.
Overhearing this, Ciri inquired what they were talking about and while her grandmother tried to hide the truth, Eist immediately revealed there was a war going on. Afterwards, the family attended a celebratory feast where Calanthe, Eist, and Mousesack, a close advisor and druid, discussed the encroachment of Nilfgaard.
