Chapter 183 - Having a date with Yennefer

Vincent excused himself as he dragged the innocent Saskia with him while his wives were preparing the sacrifice for Adda the White to feast on for the night.

"They are showing their true faces now," says Saskia knowing them too well after being mentally tortured by four of them.

"They aren't that bad. It's just that once your hobbies ran out you will dedicate your time to other matters some are harmless and others are like what you just saw. The only good thing is that they will leave Adda and Valexus alone once he is strapped to the bed and gave him a special tonic," says Vincent as he sees Saskia having some shivers run down her spine.

"Yeah, I would also be scared. You never know when they come to the idea of caging us two together," says Vincent as Saskia stopped immediately on her tracks after hearing that.

She looked nervous at Vincent who began to laugh when he says, "Calm down, girl. I already have a woman from Aedirn in my ranks and she won't die from old age."

"You mean Yennefer?" asks Saskia as Vincent nods before he realized that Yennefer wasn't in the room with them.

"Where is Yennefer by the way?" asks Vincent as Saskia only lifts her shoulder because she didn't know.

"She is on a farm near Vengerberg," says Vlad who appears out of Vincent's shadow.

"It must be the farm that used to belong to her family," says Vincent as he was asking himself now, 'But why would she go there?'

"Do you need a guide? I will volunteer so I don't want to stay behind," says Saskia as Vincent nods and Vlad entered his shadow.

They left the Palace and the guard brought a horse and Behemoth to them. They mount their ride and ride out of the city. Once near a farm, they find the sorceress in raven-black clothes as she always wears spying on the farmers from afar.

"What are you doing, Yennefer?" asks Vincent as he looked at her.

She didn't turn around while saying, "Do you see them working the field. They are my half-siblings' descendants."

"Are you jealous of them?" asks Vincent as Yennefer turned to him.

"I was but not any longer," says Yennefer as Vincent smiled at her.

"Is it because you now can?" asks Vincent as Yennefer nods.

"Yes, I was jealous of them for they could leave behind a legacy while I couldn't. But now it is different. Now I can leave behind something that will remember me for what I was and not what history says I am," says Yennefer happy that Vincent entered her life.

"Do you want to talk to them? We can't give them privileges but they should know who you really are. They noticed you for a long time now," says Vincent as he knew that the farmers were nervous because of them.

"No, the less they know who I am the better. I have seen people fall to corruption just because their family member was in the royal court. They turn arrogant and say that they are immune only to find out they aren't. It would happen to them as well. So it would be best to not get involved with them," says Yennefer as she seemed to change in front of their eyes.

"Can you give me a lift to the city? I don't want to use magic here," says Yennefer as Vincent helped her on Behemoth.

"How about we make a small tour through the lands around Vengerberg. Just the two of us to clear your head," says Vincent as Yennefer liked that idea since she didn't want to return to Vengerberg just yet.

"That would be nice," says Yennefer as she leaned against her future husband.

"Saskia, we will see you later," says Vincent as he sends her back to the city so he can enjoy his time with Yennefer since they won't have much time together once Ciri is done with her quest.

"It seems you really are going into exile once Ciri is done," says Yennefer as Vincent nods.

"Yes, but we are lucky that we don't die from old age like other Men. If that was the case I wouldn't have bonded you to me," says Vincent as they rode near the city.

"So we will have to wait until you return?" asks Yennefer as Vincent nods.

"Yes, I don't want my child to live his life without knowing me personally. Our child will be a normal human after all. He could die before I even leave exile leaving me with the pain of never knowing him and he will resent me since I never spend time with him as I did with his other siblings," says Vincent as Yennefer could understand him.

"What is a century or two for people like us," says Yennefer accepting Vincent's proposal of not having a child until he returns from his exile.

They stopped near a small river as Vincent jumped of Behemoth before helping Yennefer down. She smiled as Vincent summoned a blanket and some snack to eat with something to drink.

She sat down in the blanket and says, "I thought men would be incompetent when it comes to those matters."

"How do you think can I tie so many women to me it is because I know my stuff," says Vincent as Yennefer lifted her glass waiting for Vincent to pour the drink into it.

She takes a sip from it and falls in love with it and asks, "Where did you get this?"

"It is Dunmer Wine that I got as a gift. It was made from the first grapes that were harvested after my wife and I calmed the Red Mountain down. It is older than most of my children and every wife of mine drank one bottle of it since the wine is too valuable to drink it in masses," says Vincent as he gave her the bottle.

"What value do they have?" asks Yennefer wanting to know it as Vincent smiles at her.

"They are priceless because all the wine made from the first harvest was given to the First Emperor. The bottle you are holding could give you two provinces if you play your cards right," says Vincent making Yennefer open her eyes wide.

"Is it that good?" asks Yennefer as Vincent nods and takes the same wine out from the year that followed.

"Drink and you will understand," says Vincent as Yennefer took the bottle and pour the wine into another glass, and drinks it finding out the difference right away.

"The richness is different from the other one. It is still a perfect wine but still, it lacks compared to the first one," says Yennefer as Vincent nods.

"That's right, the first harvest was that good because they couldn't work the field for years and the eruption of the Red Mountain made the ground richer in many ways. That's why the first harvest is that good," says Vincent as he sees Yennefer hugging the wine bottle.

"I will need to ration the wine for the future if I only get one bottle of them," says Yennefer as she slowly finishes her wine while eating the Fereldian cheese.

"Still didn't you force them to gift it to you by saying it was a gift or?" asks Yennefer looking at her future husband seeing that the Dunmers should have known how valuable the wine must have been.

"It was a gift from them. I was putting many resources into Morrowind so it could return to what it used to be. They were grateful and gifted me with their first harvest and the wine wasn't the only thing they gifted me. There are many alcoholic and not alcoholic drinks they gifted me while keeping some to survive until the second harvest came," says Vincent as he smiled at Yennefer seeing how cute she was holding the bottle of wine as if it was her most precious child.

They stayed there for a while as they talked about their past and their journeys in their worlds when Vincent sees the sky was slowly turning dark making him stand up.

"We should return the others must be waiting and I still need to talk to Uther about his role in Skellige," says Vincent as Yennefer looked at Vincent seriously.

"Are you going to invade Skellige?" asks Yennefer worried since she has friends there.

"Not if it isn't needed. I wanted to tie them to the Empire with Uther's help and a duel between both Uther and their King. In Skyrim, if someone wants to be High King or Queen, he or she, have to fight a duel against the actual High King in a fair duel," says Vincent as Yennefer sees what Vincent wants to do.

"Well, right now a Queen is ruling over Skellige making it quite easy for Uther if he wins the favors of the Jarls of Skellige," says Yennefer as Vincent packed everything away.

He mounted Behemoth and helped Yennefer on Behemoth's back before saying, "This could make it even simpler for us to take Skellige over."

"What will happen to the Jarls?" asks Yennefer as they would normally be the five noble families of Skellige.

"They will still be in place even Skyrim has his nine Jarls with one of them being High King. I heard that Skellige has five Jarls and one Ling if I am correct," says Vincent as Yennefer nods.

"Then it will be easy. We should return to Vengerberg and sleep tomorrow well be a long day," says Vincent as he rides Behemoth to Vengerberg only to find the women laughing about something with Adda while Valexus seemed stressed because they were watching him and her to make sure that an heir is produced between both as fast as possible.

In the meantime in Redania, Briin and his Legion were spreading the news of Radovid's death by the hand of the Highwind Empire as they marched for the capital Tretogor to take it without fighting.
