Vilgefortz: If you want to protect what you love, join our side in the battle to come. The child will not remain safe for long, and your... passivity will be no weapon with which to save her.

Geralt: It is incredible how much my neutrality outrages everyone. How it subjects me to offers of pacts and agreements and lectures of the necessity of making a choice and joining the right side. I am not your equal partner in this game. So, no, I shall continue on my path. I shall respond to events. I'll adapt with the world as it changes.

Vilgefortz: I understand, witcher. But adapting may not be enough. Just know there is only one way you do not lose her.

Geralt: And if I refuse to join your side?

Vilgefortz: No matter where you go, what you do, there will always be enemies waiting for you.
