Not as expected

Geralt entered the spacious room that belonged to the Duchess, and was surprised to see Anna Henrietta fully clothed and sitting at a desk working away at writing a letter with a feather quill and a bottle of ink. "Geralt, come in. We have work to do." She said not looking his way.

"I've never heard a woman call sex work before." Geralt joked.

"Don't be ridiculous, I'm not going to have sex with you." She said turning to face him. Geralt took a deep breath and mourned the waste of a potentially good potion.

"What do you need me to do?" Geralt sighed and took a seat on a bench by the door.

"I need you to look into something that relates to your Ciri." Anna said noticing Geralt's reaction to the mention of Ciri.

"Did something happen?" Geralt asked.

"The former emperor is raising an army, and I don't believe it is for a good cause."

"A coup?" Geralt asked.

"Potentially, which is why I need you to meet with a contact of mine that has some knowledge of what is happening in the capital. I hope you remember Oriana?" Anna asked sniffing at the air for some reason, Geralt didn't smell anything. Oriana was a bruxa, or a vampire that he had encountered while searching for the vampire Detlaff. He knew enough to know she was a very dangerous creature and was unsure about the fact of the Duchess and a vampire meeting in secret.

"I'll follow up with her." Geralt said.

"I understand that telling you this means that you probably won't be back to Corvo Bianco for a while, and for that I apologize." Anna said.

"No need to apologize Anna, if Ciri is in danger I must go." Geralt said.

"I know that. What is that intoxicating smell though?" She said sniffing at the air and walking over to him. "I don't know what's coming over me, but I have the urge to fuck you like I've never fucked another before." Anna said. Geralt looked closely at her, she showed no signs of being affected by the potion, her eyes were sharp and focussed and her speech was even, he had to ask Yen what she put in the potion.

Anna turned around and looked over her shoulder at Geralt. He stood up and took hold of her fragile zipper and pulled it down to just above her ass. She turned around and shrugged her dress off her royal shoulders baring herself to Geralt's eyes.
