586. Father-in-law?

"Currently, all of the Northern Region is facing the inevitable attack of the Nilfgaardian Empire from the south. They have already taken over most of the continent by now. The Nordlings are foolish creatures, they discriminate against the magical communities and drive them away while the Nilfgaardian Empire even employs the Magical communities." Ulric explained everything to Alexander.

Alexander now knew that it was not just the Elfs, Dwarves and Unicorns that were present here. Even the darker beings like ghosts, ghouls, Djins and others like them were here.

~This is like a hotchpotch of the dark and light side of the universe combined into one single planet.~ He thought.

"What about the Unicorns, who do you all support?" Alexander asked.

"None, we are divided into herds, unicorn society is specifically organised and led by a council of elders. We just observe the doings of less advanced species. We hate all the killings that humans do. But we know it's a tough world. It is either kill or be killed.

"But we do particularly hate the Elfs of Aen Elle who forced us to open the gates between worlds so that they might massacre humans from other worlds and find slaves," Ulrik said.

Alexander stroked his beard and had an idea, "Hmm, you know, there are thousands of unicorns living in my realm too. Even though they are also very pure beings, they are not as intelligent as you and they can surely not travel the multiverse. Why don't you later talk to your elder and tell them that I can give you all a home. You can live in Phixheim. Only I live on that planet, with other pure beings like Phoenixes and my family."

"Hmm, although we travel a lot, having a safe home where we can always go to can be nice," Ulrik muttered while thinking.

"Haha, I can also provide you security. Nobody can enter my realm without my permission and many gods live there." Alexander added.

Ulrik nodded, "I will go and meet the elder later. Your offer is tempting. What do you want in return?"

"Haha, nothing, kid. I have everything I can ever desire. I am content with what I have. All I want to do now is spread happiness." Alexander laughed.

"Oh, is that the city? It is indeed big for the technology of this world." Dobby pointed towards a city in the distance.

"Yes, but they are yet to develop new ways of building structures. The industrial revolution is too far away from them." Ulrik said. He had travelled to Earth and had seen some stuff.

*Horse's sound*

Suddenly, Alexander heard the sound of distressed horses. So, they headed deep into the jungle. They were already not following the main path because there was a Unicorn and an elf with Alexander.

*GROWL*

They heard a bear growling. It seemed it was fighting something or someone.

As they got closer they heard the sound of a man. There was also a woman in a black dress, casting some kind of a spell.

*GROWL*

But out of nowhere, another bear attacked them and it caught the sorceress off-guard. Just then, Alexander walked in and raised his hand. In an instant, both bears stopped moving.

The white-haired man and the woman looked at Alexander and his two companions in surprise. The woman was able to feel a hint of magic in what Alexander did to the bears.

Before speaking, Alexander went closer to the two bears and patted their heads. "Go away, you two, I know you are hungry. The moment you will go a few metres away, you will find 80 kilos of fish each. Go now."

*Grrrr...*

The two bears first licked his hand and then ran away while happily hopping. Gone was the powerful beast, they seemed more like two playful pups now.

Alexander went back and stood between Dobby and Ulrik the Unicorn.

The man and woman walked towards them. They looked at Alexander with a judging gaze.

Alexander had to agree that the woman was a beauty, but he could see a little deformity under her skin that was hidden under the distraction of her charming eyes and glowing skin.

Alexander interestedly looked at the white-haired man and spoke, "Geralt of Rivia?"

"Uh-huh... who are you?" Geralt replied in a hoarse voice.

"Well, I am Alexander, this is Dobby and this is Ulrik," Alexander introduced.

Suddenly, the woman charmingly spoke, "Geralt, why don't you introduce me to my father-in-law?"

*Cough*

Geralt coughed and looked at the woman, "Yennefer, he's not my father."

"What are you saying? The resemblance is uncanny." She insisted, but by now, her tone of speech had made it obvious that she was pulling his leg.

Alexander loudly laughed, "Hahaha... you two seem like a good husband-wife couple. Ah, Olivia and I are like this too."

"We are not married," Geralt quickly cleared the misunderstanding.

"What are you saying? You two have such a great aura together. If you don't marry her then it'd be your loss, child. Look at her, the way she's looking at you." Alexander pointed.

Geralt turned back to Yennefer who was looking at him with a smirk. Geralt embarrassingly scratched his beard, "Eh, let's find Ciri first, Yen."

"Oh, I didn't say anything, Geralt." She replied teasingly.

Yennefer then looked at Alexander. "Who are you? You cast magic so easily. And this... a real Unicorn? I thought they stayed away from us lowly beings."

Ulrik didn't like her taunting and talked with telepathy, "Heh, I do stay away from you people. But this man here is not one of you. He is a go..."

Alexander quickly spoke and stopped Ulrik. "What he meant is that I am a good man and not like normal people."

Ulrik and Alexander, meanwhile, talked telepathically: "Don't tell them my status yet."

"Okay, as you wish." Ulrik shut up.

Yennefer then got closer to Dobby, making him blush. "And an elf. It's rare to see your kind in the north. Which place are you from? I've never seen an elf as tall as you before."

"Hey. Don't talk to him like that. There are no 'kinds' when it comes to people. All are living beings with simple differences in biology. He's my friend, just like this Unicorn." Alexander defended.

"What about you, then? You are a sorcerer, and a strong one at that it seems, but I don't think I have ever seen you or heard about you." She asked.

Alexander smiled and moved closer to her. She didn't feel any malicious intent so she didn't react in time. Before she could even think, Alexander's hand was on Yennefer's head.

Geralt had his sword out which he swung at Alexander's arm.

*CLANK*

Nothing happened, it was as if the sword hit metal. But Yennefer was still not reacting. She was just looking at the face of the tall old man who had touched her head.

She soon felt a flow of energy inside her body. Then there was a slight pain. She then smiled because she felt what had changed in her body.

Yennefer of Vengerberg was born a hunchback, complete with crooked shoulders and a distorted frame. This deformity was the source of much strife in her childhood.

Throughout her childhood, she suffered at the hands of her father, who inflicted both physical and mental pain on her. Though he eventually left, Yennefer's youth did not get any easier for it.

Her mother then blamed her for his departure and began to beat her as well. This torment pushed Yennefer to the edge, to the point where she once attempted to take her own life. Fortunately, the mages of Aretuza, who recognised her innate magical talent, were able to save Yennefer before helping her find a path to a better life.

The stronger in magic she became, her deformity also went away. But, they had not disappeared completely. If one were to look closely, they could see it. She also knew that Geralt had noticed it but he never talked about it.

But, now, she felt that those deformities were disappearing. Completely disappearing.

*CLANK*

"What did you do to her? Let her go." Geralt was still at it, striking Alexander's body.

Dobby and Ulrik just stood a distance away, watching everything.

"Doesn't he get tired of striking so many times?" Dobby asked.

"Nope, he's a Witcher. They are known to have superhuman strength." Ulrik replied.

"Stop, Geralt." Suddenly Yennefer's voice came. Alexander had retracted his hand. Now, Yennefer was looking even prettier than before. Geralt noticed that too.

"What did he do to you? You look..."

"Better? Yes, he made me better." Yennefer completed his words.

She then looked at Alexander, "I presume this was not free. What is the price I must pay?"

Alexander laughed, behind him, Dobby and Ulrik too. If even Grandpa started charging for such things then the Omniverse was doomed.

"Child, what I did does not take much of my magic. It is as simple as waving my hand. I do not need any payment, I just did it because I felt your desire for it. Your childhood must have been harsh," Alexander said and patted her again warmly.

She was taken aback by how Alexander could feel her emotions and even more by how nice he felt when he patted her. It was as if... she was really the child of this man. She felt an unknown warmth.

Alexander then looked at Geralt, "Kid, are you sure you don't want to be with her? I might find another suitor for her otherwise."

Geralt looked at Yennefer. They originally had their fates combined together because of that Djin incident but Yennefer had severed that magic and gave him a choice to choose if he wanted to be with her or not. He did like her and she liked him too. But he always tried to stay away from any commitment.

*Sigh*

Alexander sighed, sensing the emotions of Geralt. "Dobby, I guess we need to find someone else. These two are in love with each other but are acting like edgy teenagers, thinking that the other one should confess first."

Alexander moved away. "Let's go to Novigrad city. We'll buy a world map there."

"WAIT!" Yennefer ran after him and behind her, Geralt also followed with a sigh.

Alexander didn't stop and let them join them in the walk.
