Yennefer is then visited by a woman at her home. She offers to buy Yennefer for four marks. While Yennefer's mother protests, they are completely ignored by her father and he agrees to sell. This is a very crucial moment. Her father, some time ago, had talked about how a pig would cost ten marks. This is proof of how little value his deformed daughter holds for him. Her mother warns Yennefer that the woman who is taking her is a witch and she knows what they will do to her. But Yennefer doesn't care about it.
