As for the aftermath of this quest, it had sparked much discussion in the game, but most players believed the noblewoman was genuinely wronged. Because, fifteen years prior, the girl was less than ten years old, how could she have actively committed treason?
And even if she had, it was likely she was implicated or framed.
With this information as background, Guilliman followed Saadia to the second floor of the tavern.
Saadia, being of noble birth, was quite clever and knew how to use her feminine charm.
Seeing the Witcher approach, her beautiful face showed a somewhat delicate, yet pleading expression, and she said softly:
"Lord Guilliman, I have something I wish to ask for your help with."
"Actually, I am from Hammerfell…"
Blah blah blah!
Just like in the game.
Saadia pitifully recounted her past, then explained that someone wanted to capture her, hoping for help, and promised to give all the money she had saved over the years, just for her freedom.
However, there were also differences from the game.
Saadia was very adept at using her charm. During her plea, she would occasionally reveal a glimpse of cleavage, or rub against his arm, attempting to sway him with her beauty.
Seeing that the Witcher, after hearing her plea, remained unmoved by the gold reward, Saadia suddenly bit her lower lip, hesitated for a few seconds, then knelt halfway, taking one of Guilliman's hands.
Like a kitten, she sucked on his fingers while looking up at him with moist eyes, pleading:
"Please, Lord Guilliman."
"Those people are currently guarding the city gates and might soon discover me."
"If you can help me, I am willing to offer you my body."
Hmm!!! Offer her body!
Is that what I think it means?
What's wrong with this woman? How is she so on the ball, actually knowing to use a honey trap on him?
How did she figure out he was so lustful? Was it that obvious?
Besides, with his looks and physique, when sparring with an ordinary woman, it's hard to say who would be taking advantage of whom.
Guilliman mused inwardly, but his gaze still carefully assessed Saadia, the Hammerfell noblewoman.
In her early twenties, with delicate features, a good figure, and a refined demeanor, though her skin was a bit rough, likely due to her life on the run. But it wasn't a major issue; she was probably an 80-plus out of 100.
Compared to Freyja, who was nearly a 90, she was of course far behind. But compared to the top courtesans in brothels, she had the advantage of less experience and youth, making her superior.
Furthermore, as a noble, her cultural level was much higher than many illiterates in Skyrim, and she might have other uses in the future.
Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-story pagoda. As a sucker for beauty, he certainly hoped the beautiful woman would live.
Guilliman thought for a moment, then reached out to help Saadia up, saying with a smile:
"Alright, Miss Saadia, I accept your request."
"Later, I will investigate the lair of those Hammerfell guards and ensure they can no longer trouble you."
"As for the reward you promised me, I demand it upfront."
"Furthermore, you no longer need to work as a tavern maid. I can arrange a better job for you."
Upfront!
Even offering herself required an upfront payment!
Saadia's face showed a surprised expression. After a few seconds, her expression was somewhat conflicted, but looking at the Witcher's handsome face, she gritted her teeth and said:
"Lord Guilliman, I know where their lair is."
"Later… later, please come to my house. After I've paid the reward, please help me resolve this trouble."
"As for the job you mentioned, please let's discuss it later and give me some time to consider."
The other party was clearly still somewhat suspicious of the Witcher and was unwilling to agree to everything too early.
Who knew, Guilliman suddenly grinned, then reached out and placed a hand on Saadia's shoulder, saying:
"No, Madam Saadia, not in your room."
"Didn't you know, before proposing such a reward? Miss Freyja, the Dragonborn, and I are a couple. If she found out you were seducing me, both of us would be in trouble."
At this point, Guilliman leaned close to the Hammerfell noblewoman's ear and whispered:
"Later, I'll take you with me to the lair of those Hammerfell people so you can see me eliminate them with your own eyes."
"Then we can have a good time there."
"That way, you'll be at ease, and so will I."
"As for the job, it's actually a very beneficial proposal for you."
"I am a generous employer. If you work for me, not only will your safety be guaranteed, but you'll also be able to utilize your abilities, and the salary and benefits will be much better than being a tavern maid."
Saying this, the Witcher reached out and stroked Saadia's beautiful face, saying gently:
"But rest assured, I won't force anyone."
"You can make your choice according to your own will."
"Now, I'll go downstairs and continue drinking. If you agree to my terms,"
"You can go find the owner here to resign, then walk out that door. After that, you won't need to worry about anything."
After saying this, Guilliman waved to Saadia, then walked towards the first-floor hall.
In a short time, he had already thought it through.
Helping this Hammerfell noblewoman, though a casual move, was indeed necessary.
After all, he couldn't stay in the Elder Scrolls world forever. Finding a knowledgeable and cultured woman to help him acquire items and handle simple tasks was necessary.
There were too many illiterates among the Nords, making it quite difficult to find someone of good background, knowledgeable, and capable.
This was also giving her a chance, and giving himself a chance.
As for the trust issue, before leaving this world, he would have Saadia sign a soul contract.
That way, there would be no need to worry about her betrayal.
Watching the Witcher's dashing retreating figure, Saadia, standing on the second floor of the tavern, fell into an internal struggle.
During all these years of fleeing, she had constantly been evading the Hammerfell guards, living in fear every day, only able to do crude and lowly jobs.
If a strong individual was willing to shelter her, it would indeed be an excellent choice.
However, was Lord Guilliman truly trustworthy?
