Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!

Chapter 37: Chapter 37 - Back on track

After my fun with Kayden, I took a 3-hour nap just to have a bit of my energy back. As I wake up, I checked on him but he is still sound asleep. Well, I doubt that he will wake up soon. I untied his hands and feet and made sure he is tucked in bed and any bruises that I caused are healed. After I prepped up for my day, I also made sure he had some clothes to wear when he wakes up. These clothes were originally for Ioannis but for now, somebody needs it more. I will just drop by the clothing shop to buy new ones for him before I go back to the academe.

I did a quick run down to the lobby of the inn to get Kayden’s breakfast, lunch and even some snacks just in case he is extremely hungry when he wakes up. I left the food on the small table in the room and I made sure to cast heat preservation magic on it. I made sure to leave a note of where I am going and the tasks that I needed to do today. I wanted to at least assure him that I am not running away from everything I did to him last night. I told him that he can leave anytime if he isn’t interested in staying with me and I will definitely understand. I didn’t fully take him last night anyway.

After leaving the inn, I made sure to go to the adventurer’s hall to submit the completion of my three tasks which brings my points to 90/500. Let’s go for gradual increase in points till I can rank up. I got my payments and also three new tasks that are similar to the ones I took yesterday. I decided to take the same tasks as yesterday since I still have the other half of the forest that I need to map out.

I went about my day making sure I complete the tasks, take as much of the useful items from the other half of the forest and map everything out. I did a quick trip to the hut where I found Kayden before and destroyed every single bit of its existence so as to remove any signs of him and me being there. While going on my nature trip, I made sure to finish the remaining 30% of work for my invention for the alchemy shop and start with my online banking and cashless payments idea. Once I have finished everything I need to do in the forest, the first project was completed and successfully produced and the second one is already half way done with the creation. I am really efficient with multi-tasking while on this trip in nature.

By lunch time, I am already having my meals at the local diner. I dropped by the adventurer’s hall again to send my completion but I did not take new tasks this time.

My next stop was at the clothing shop to buy some male clothing that I think would fit Ioannis. I felt my disappointment again with how limited the clothing designs are. Should I draw some designs and sell them? Should I start my own clothing line? Ugh. My classes are about to start so maybe I’ll put that on my things to do for now. I left the clothing shop after buying a few clothing pieces.

I then dropped by at the magic tower to register for patents for my new invention for the alchemy shop. It covers 3 patents for inventory management, material preservation (I only registered 3 months even if I can make the materials infinitely fresh) as well as the map of the whole forest surrounding Hoffen city which indicated what animals and plants can be found on each region. I made sure to put the vivid pictures, descriptions and practical use of the plants and materials from the animals as well. The receptionist was quite surprised with what I brought. I completed some paper work to make sure it is registered under my name and indicated how I want to be compensated in case people want to use any of my inventions. I indicated that I want to stay anonymous and if anybody wants to get in touch with me, I will be staying at the Academe of Gnosis once the semester’s classes start.

I went inside the ”room of questions” as I have decided to call it and took five of the oldest questions again. I took five pieces of blank pieces of paper readily available at the box near the board. I took out a pen from my storage and started writing the solution to the problems including the list of steps of the process, some detailed explanation and formulas if the questions call for it. I stick each question on top of their designated answers and then put my stamp on the lower right corner of each paper. I am quite sure my answers are correct but I’ll just have to wait for my money to enter my bank account. I forgot to check on that at the adventurer’s hall this morning. Well, I’ll just do that tomorrow. Since it was already in the middle of the afternoon, I made my way back to the inn to check on my handsome patient.

As I entered my rented room, I saw Kayden staring absent-mindedly forward. The only thing covering his body was the blanket I tucked him in this morning. He has not eaten the food I left on the table and didn’t even touch the clothes I prepared for him. Was he traumatized or did he hit his head or something?

I went inside my room and went straight to the bathroom and closed the door. I feel so sticky from all the activities I have done today so a shower is a must. I’ll just talk to him in a bit when I have freshened up. As I was enjoying my shower, I heard someone open the door of the bathroom then I was surprised when someone hugged me from behind. I kept my cool and asked, ”I told you that you were free to leave. What are you trying to do right now?” He buried his face on my right shoulder and said in a soft voice, ”Don’t you want me? You had the chance but you did not fully take me. Why?” I removed his arm around my waist and faced him keeping my face cold and serious, ”I didn’t save you from potentially being tainted just to do the same as the person who got you kidnapped. I am not that thirsty. Whatever I did to you last night was to help you get rid of the drugs in your body. You can continue with your bath.” I walked past him and returned to the room.

I entered the room and changed into fresh clothes. I sat on my study desk and continued with the remaining work I had for my online bank idea. I should finish this by tonight. I kept myself busy and efficient with my work but I was also making sure to listen for any movements from the bathroom.

After 15 minutes, he came out of the bathroom and walked towards me all dripping with water. He stopped in front of me with all his naked glory and then said, ”Can I borrow a towel to dry myself up?” I didn’t want to hide the fact that I had mana so I simply looked up to his face, conjured a towel out of my storage, and gave it to him. I saw his stunned face and then I simply looked back down to my work and said, ”You should eat.” He did not reply but simply dried his body, put on the clothes I prepared for him and then sat on the table and started eating. How obedient.

We both kept our silence as we both did what we needed to do. The silence kept going for about an hour before he said, ”Thanks for the meal.” He cleaned up the table and kept all the used dishes on the table outside the door where the inn attendants will take them. He then returned back to the room and simply sat on the bed seemingly waiting for me to talk to him or atleast give him a glance.

I totally forgot about his existence though as I have a goal to finish my second project tonight. I only have a few days left before I have to go back to the academe. After two more hours, I finally looked up but still continued pondering about my next steps. I should then have this sent over for patenting. I have my online banking system (can be placed in a small space since the storage for the money is somewhere else more secure), deposit kiosks (like ATMs) and my cashless payment mechanism that can be integrated to storage rings or accessories. That’s another 3 patents for me. I guess I have to complete that tonight. I have to use my other days to visit Eieneos since this issue and my original tasks has to take the priority now.
