As hard as it is (esp. for someone like me who wants a "perfect" savegame), I guess killing her is the most realistic/reasonable ending here:

A.) Letting her go with the notice is not acceptable since it (probably) will have devastating effects on hundreds or thousands people (and Witchers are there to protect people from monster)

So the choice is between being B.) Very kind, understanding and helpful to her (= Kaer-Morhen ending) or C.) Being upset, maybe a bit offensive (= SHE will atttack YOU, leading to killing her in self defense)

Recapitulating that she lied to you and used/exploited you from the very first moment and in quite all quests: help in the cave only because she wanted the magic lamp -> tricking you to break the curse (by lying and saying that she only want to help the locals) -> sending out to search for "important ingredients" (which in fact are luxury goods like wine and meat) -> Using you as a personal distraction (afterwards casting a sleeping-spell on you as soon as she is satisfied), she tricked you literally every single time you helped her...

I see absolutely no way how one could be kind and helpful towards someone as selfish and disingenious, who exploited and fooled you over and over again. So, being really upset is (for me) the only realistic option here. That this leads to killing her is quite a tragedy (esp. gameplay-wise like loosing the achievment and help in the Battle) but the fact that a unfriendly sentence was enough to trigger an attack assures me in my view...

Still feels so hard to ignor the in-game effects and play this mission in a "realistic" way...
