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

Chapter 59: Chapter 59 - Going back to the Human Realm

On my last three to four days in Eieneos, I made sure to pour out as much mana as I can to fix everything up quicker. I also made sure I gave enough energy to the little sun I made for Nische. The imperial city of Eieneos is now as good as new though it is technically still a ghost town since I am the only one here who is awake and walking around. Since I have already read most of the books in the palace, I decided to just make a copy of its contents through magic and leave the originals for safekeeping here.

During my stay here, I still made sure to exchange information and instructions with Feivel and Izuku through letters left in our shared storages that they can access through the earrings I gave them. I gave a go signal to Feivel to proceed in preparing all the paperwork needed to set up the bank and the patent company. As for Izuku, he gave me a list of unowned properties not only in Hoffen but throughout the empire. He really did his homework. He said that he has already gathered all the workers and they have already finished with cleaning up half of my plot of land. That’s good progress if I may say so.

Kayden sent me his well wishes and tells me he misses me everyday. He gave me an update as well that his father has agreed to enter my family registry and also their plans of revenge. I laughed at how similar he and his father were. They would make great business managers since they are cunning and will never let themselves suffer a loss. I asked him to start preparing the paperwork for their registration as well so I can complete it once I am back. I have to prepare one for Ioannis as well. I’ll just register both of them at the same time when I get back. I wish I could also get an update with Ioannis. If only I gave him an earring too. *Sighs* I miss him a lot.

While I was going through my preparations in coming back, I never had any inkling about how many problems were simultanrously happening in Hoffen City that are both directly and indirectly connected to me.

Ioannis’ POV at the Academe of Gnosis

In the Academe of Gnosis, even before Luna left for her trip, I have already heard some gossips circulating about the two of us but just as how I don’t care, she matches me in a way that she doesn’t want to hear about other people’s opinions as well much less care about what they think of her. I don’t know how other people found out about our circumstances but they heard that I am currently living in her room and that she went out for a trip outside that would last about a week. At least, they did not know how I’m no longer pure even before I was taken in as her official attendant. But with how these gossips are going, I won’t be shocked if someone talks about this as well. The timing of how the gossips came out after she left and the sheer number of it was peculiar as well.

I have always been wondering why these gossips came out and it was as if it was meant to discredit her or tarnish her reputation. She has barely stayed in this world for a month and I don’t know where she is getting these enemies from. I made my own investigation and found out that there were several people working in the background to make sure these gossips do not die down. One was an attendant named ”Arthur”. He seemed to be the leader of the ones leering at me about being abandoned and how easy I was since I allowed myself to live with her and be her toy boy. He seemed to be envious as to how nice Luna was treating me before she left for her trip. The other was ”Sofia” who was once the master that I served and is now on her second year here in the academe. I don’t understand her grudges when I should be the one aggrieved. When I was her attendant, she drugged me and almost succeeded in taking my purity by force if I did not luckily escape at that time. She seems to hate the fact that I am currently treating my current master well whom is a woman I barely met when we were together for almost half a year and she couldn’t even get a touch of my hand. Some of the women that came with Luna at the time of the summoning also seem to hate her guts. She kept to herself and generally, just like me was not friendly or approachable. As for me, what’s important is that she treats me well. Though, I can’t imagine her being that kind to all the other attendants here since I think I might go crazy due to jealousy.

One day, the head of admissions called me to his office. Once I arrived at the office, I immediately asked if there is anything he needed from me. He then said that since the classes are starting again, some nobles, rich merchant families and even royals will again start to send in their sons to take short courses for about 3-6 months. He gave me a look like he’s saying ”You do understand what this is for right” and reminded me that this is just a cover for these powerful people to look for potential wives for their children from the newly summoned beings. He advised me to tell Luna about it once she comes back and that he trusts me that I won’t block any potential pursuers. I looked at him and gave a forced smile. It’s not like I can stop her if she takes a new man in. I nodded my head and went back to the library.

Kayden’s POV

After planning the little revenge with my father, we carried my unconscious mother back to the main house. He did his usual acting skills as we called for servants and a doctor for help. I went through my mother’s room stealthily to take in some valuables such as her big ticket items such as paintings, antique vases, statues made of gems and gold, jewelry and the like. I pulled all of it in my storage space. They would have never thought that these things can be stolen under their noses. To hide the fact that I have other reasons to enter her room, I took some clothes for her to change to as well as some towels and beddings. I went back to the room where she is having her treatment carrying all the stuff. The staff helped me carry them and I simply bid my goodbye since I said that I was no longer needed in there. I asked to borrow one of the carriages and asked them to drop me off in the middle of the market. Once the carriage was out, I immediately went to the family registration office. I asked for requirements on how a woman that has come of age can set up her own family and how new members can be added to it. I took all the needed paper work and sent it via me and my wife’s personal storage. I then went back to Arfa.

Once I reached Arfa, the place seemed to be very gloomy and cold for some reason. I went up to my room and there he was, the source of the cold and gloomy air. He also brought in four of his subordinates as if a weakling like me can be a threat to his life. I simply walked into my room and drank some water then proceed to sit on one side of my bed. They were quiet all this time but was carefully watching my every move. I broke the silence by asking, ”May I know who I have the pleasure speaking with and what do you need from me?” The man that was being protected by the four men in black robes spoke with a deep and cold voice, ”Where is she?” I looked at him seemingly surprised and said, ”May I know who is this ”she”?” He then said, ”I know that you know who I am. You are enveloped by her scent so you can’t deny that you haven’t been with her atleast within the last few days.” I then smiled and answered, ”Oh! Are you talking about my wife?” I saw him clench his fists and his jaw. His lips are pressed and the veins of his neck were bulging. It was fun to irritate him to this extent. My wife is mine. Hmpf!

One of the black-robed men spoke with a friendly and respectful tone, ”Our master’s name is Aurum. He’s the 8th prince of the empire. The woman he was looking for is his resonant that seems to also have had relations with you recently. Our master has been waiting for his resonant for 8 years so I hope you understand his impatience and desperation. We did not intend to intrude or be rude to you.” I smiled to them and said, ”She left for an errand late in the afternoon yesterday. I honestly don’t know exactly when she’ll be back. It can be any day from today I think. She’s also my resonant so I know how hard it must be for him to be away from her.” The five of them looked at me as if I was kidding. The four then looked at their master as if saying, ”What are the odds?”

On my last day in Eieneos, I looked back into the palace as I marveled as to how much work I was able to do in a span of two weeks. I have also completed all the paperwork I received from Feivel and Kayden. I did a quick visit to the world tree realm and saw that Nische is now a sprout that is as tall as my waist. Well, it has been 40 years in this realm. The world tree does grow really slow.

I then decided to teleport straight back to Hoffen City because WHY NOT? I already have about 80% of the mana I am supposed to inherit. Staying in Eieneos has expedited the process of my body strengthening and getting used to the massive amount of mana I should have. Which still leaves a question as to where to appear after teleportation. Hmm... I guess the room me and Kayden shared previously would be good. Besides, I promised to visit him before going back to the academe. I then closed my eyes and imagined the place where I wanted to be teleported to.
