That is no surprise actually. The Nilfgaardian soldier must have found the sword near the Hanged man's tree, close to the village. After Yennefer and Geralt returned to the world after having been taking away by Ciri during the Rivia race riots, Yennefer was taken by the Wild Hunt.

Geralt tried to track them all across the land. He met a crippeld Letho while persuing the hunt, nursed him back to health, and Letho decided to help Geralt track the hunt as compensation.

The witcher party finally managed to catch up. The hunt was near the Hanged Man's Tree, where they were selecting canditates (including Yennefer) to be taken back to their home planet. The witcher party attacked the Wild Hunt and slew many of their warriors, but they were heavily outnumbered, so Geralt made a deal with Eredin: His soul in exchange for that of Yennefer.

Eredin agreed, and so he released Yennefer while Geralt joined the hunt. The Nilfgaardian soldier must have happened upon the sword while patrolling or strolling near the village close to the Hanged Man's Tree.
