If you choose that option that's you manipulating Ciri.
Hence "I (THINK) Emhyr will try and maniplulate you."
When I let her talk to the emperor she said straight up rejected the offer and she wanted to leave straight up.
But thanks to those months it gave Ciri more months to THINK WHAT SHE REALLY WANTED.
Plus the ending where she chooses to be a witcher was the event two weeks after the defeat of the wild hunt.
May I remind you that the empress ending was MONTHS and she was a witcher with Geralt for all those MONTHS and got to do her own thinking and was straight up OH MAYBE I CAN BE AN EMPRESS NOW YE.
Video she rejects emperor first.
