Biography

Destiny Fulfillment

Princess Pavetta reluctantly attended a betrothal party in her honor. Her mother, Queen Calanthe, had already secretly arranged for her to marry Crach an Craite despite Pavetta's numerous objections. Calanthe explained that marrying Crach is the key to Cintra having power after she died and that Pavetta's feelings were of little concern.

Lord Urcheon of Erlenwald, who Pavetta had been in a secret relationship with for a year, interrupted the ceremony, with face hidden under knight's armor. He came to claim Pavetta's hand in marriage. Eist knocked his helmet off, revealing a monstrous form. Queen Calanthe requested that Geralt kill him, but he refused as Urcheon was no monster. Rather, he'd been cursed. Queen Calanthe ordered her guards to slay Urcheon instead, but Urcheon disarmed the guards and explained to Queen Calanthe that Pavetta belonged to him under the Law of Surprise. More of the queen's guards entered and they attacked. Geralt came to his defense. Together, they dispatched of Queen Calanthe's guards and an even larger fights broke out between the guests. This finally forced Queen Calanthe to stand center room and command the fighting to end.

Pavetta greeted Duny, Urcheon's common name, with a hug. He explained that he was cursed as a young boy, and that he lived his whole life in misery until the day he saved Queen Calanthe's former husband, King Roegner from certain death. By tradition, he chose the Law of Surprise as payment for his deed. In accordance with this, Eist pushed Queen Calanthe to honor the tradition; destiny had determined the surprise be Pavetta. Duny abandoned all hope of claiming the Law of Surprise when he heard the king returned to find a child on the way, knowing no woman could accept him as he is. Instead he waited until the twelfth bell when the curse broke, intending to only watch Pavetta from afar. However, destiny intervened and they fell in love. Queen Calanthe initially seemed to accept destiny, handing over her sword and extending her hand to Duny. She pulled him close, whispered "here is your destiny," and pulled out a knife aimed at his throat. Pavetta screamed out and suddenly her abilities awakened, sending everyone flying across the room. Pavetta and Duny float above the room until Geralt knocked them down.

Calanthe thought that Pavetta's grandmother's gift had skipped her, as it did Calanthe. She admitted to being wrong about so many things, and also announced that the Law of Surprise would be honored and that Pavetta will marry Duny. Furthermore, Queen Calanthe herself had agreed to marry Eist; there would be two vows tonight. Pavetta kissed Duny, and he transformed back into his human form. Queen Calanthe's blessing of their marriage lifted the curse and fulfilled the destiny. Duny wished to repay Geralt for saving his life, so Geralt chose the Law of Surprise. Although he never actually intend to lay claim to anything, Pavetta suddenly threw up, signifying that she was pregnant moments after Geralt claimed Law of Surprise; her daughter will belong to him.
