As the show is more so an adaptation of the books than the games, Princess Cirilla's story and appearance in the show is markedly different from the games.

Even then, it takes a lot of liberties when it comes to hopping timelines, with Geralt, Yennefer and Ciri’s personal journeys starting at different points in time, and only converging at the end of Season One. The games, on the other hand, are set after the books, allowing for a lot more creative freedom, not to mention plenty of leeway when it comes to the relationships between the main trinity.
