this is actually one of cdpr's ways for you to choose which ethical standpoint you want to back. sure the hym will likely not come back to haunt udalryk since he's free from the guilt of aki but if he gets another guilt from something else or if anyone else in the world gets some guilt, the hym can still come back to haunt the guilt-ridden person whereas if geralt had killed the hym, it would not come back at all at anyone but choosing to kill the hym means cerys would have contributed nothing but shame for attempting to abduct udalryk's baby thus her noble deed worthy of a queen to contest hjalmar would mean nothing at all plus xp-wise, you wont get the most xp out of it.
