There's No Place Like Home

There's No Place Like Home is a secondary quest in.

Walkthrough
After reaching the Lyria city outskirts and entering the city, this quest will start. Speak to Villem and then the two of you will go to the Council of Peers to discuss matters. Villem tells you he has made a alliance with Nilfgaard and Meve, by the order of Caldwell, is thrown into a cell.

Caldwell comes to visit you and reveals how he let the Strays of Spalla roam free, so when Meve was dealing with them, he could organise an overthrow. He tells of how she will be killed tomorrow, so Villem will never feel guilt and release her from prison. After a while Gascon Brossard comes and releases you from your cell. The two of you escape the prison and go free Reynard Odo from his cell and while leaving the city are attacked by Caldwell's men, starting the battle Hunting the Queen.
