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

Chapter 60: Chapter 60 - I’m Back!

I simply closed my eyes and envisioned how the dark alley next to the inn looked like. I can’t just suddenly appear in a place full of people, you know? When I opened my eyes, I was in a deserted alley. I walked out as if it was any other night and went to the inn’s receptionist. I paid to rent the same room Kayden and I shared last time and luckily, it was unoccupied. I went up to check on the room and can’t help but smile. I changed all the sheets and covers on the bed and made sure to use cleaning magic to disinfect everything. I then placed a sound proofing and defense barrier around the room so only me and Kayden or people we allow can get in and out of this room. It was kind of an overkill but after the report that Kayden sent me, I knew that a certain number of people are trying to look for me. Some want to talk but most likely some of them will try to force me into a relationship in the name of resonance or because they are of higher social ranking compared to a commoner and transmigrator like me. Well, they think I was simply a summoned person from another world but as for the truth, that is something that I am not obliged to tell them.

I put an illusion spell to change how I looked like and proceed with going out of the inn then I walked towards the entertainment district. Just as I passed by the entrance arc to the district, I already felt several people watching my every move. I don’t feel any hostility or bloodlust towards me so I let them be. There was four of them which was quite a shock to me. Did each of those menmsend someone to investigate me? Well, as long as they don’t meddle with my life, I will let them do all the spying they want. I just wondered how they were able to pinpoint that it was me with my illusion and all.

I walked with my usual leisurely pace and went to Arfa. I approached the receptionist and requested to see Kayden. One of the attendants guided me upstairs towards his room. I smiled at the attendant and gave him 50 coppers for his help. I touched the door but did not push it open immediately. Inside, I felt the presence of a total of 6 people. Wow. Is this a party?

I went in and shouted for Kayden’s name. Once I opened the door, I heard hurried footsteps and there he was, my drama queen, hugging me like there is no tomorrow. I held his cheeks and gave him a soft kiss on the lips which made him blush. I then whispered to him, ”You seem to have visitors.” He then said, ”My father is here. The other one said he’s a prince and the other three were his attendants. I smiled at him and simply said, ”Alright. You don’t have to worry.”

I went into the living room but ignored the men wearing black sitting on the sofa and went straight to the middle-aged man sitting near one of the tables. I casted a sound proofing spell between Kayden, me and his father. I then greeted him, ”Father-in-law, nice to meet you. My name is Luna. I think Kayden has already talked about me.” He smiled at me and held my hand saying, ”Thank you for saving Kayden from the abductors and taking responsibility for my son.” I smiled and said, ”No problem. I will also be taking responsibility for you, father-in-law. Please take care of me too in the future.” I then told them that I will be building a new place where they can live in freely and that the paperwork will be completed by tomorrow. I also asked how their heist went. His father looked at Kayden as if telling him, ”How could you tell her?” I laughed and said that I agreed with their plan so it was fine. The atmosphere was light and happy as if there was nobody else in the room. I then told them that we can gradually sell the items in underground auctions.

It seems that the people at the sofa could not take it anymore. Being ignored from the start while we are speaking and treating each other like family must have irked them. The blind masseur I met before was the one who first spoke, ”I would appreciate it if you don’t ignore us. And, what topic is so important that you three need to place a spell so that we aren’t able to hear it.” I still ignored him and talked to Kayden. ”I will teleport you back to the inn I have rented. I am already building a place for you and your father to live in which will be well-protected. We’ll set up some businesses from there. Just give me two weeks, okay? As for your necessities like food, I will take care of that with the inn keeper. The rest I can send it via the storage.” He looked at me and nodded. He knew that the matter with the guy in the sofa is something that I had to deal with on my own. It is no simple matter to attend to the whims of a demanding prince anyways. Too bad, I’m a princess too (soon to be empress) and I refuse to be bullied here. He then answered, ”I have resigned from my job here in Arfa. My father and I have sold everything in our previous house and left. We will wait for the new home and the paperwork patiently.” I smiled and kissed him again on the lips. I then asked them to stand and hold his father’s hands. I drew a magic circle with my mana on the ground and then they disappered in a blink of an eye. I teleported them back to the room I previously rented.

Honestly, I am pissed off right now. I take back my thoughts about letting these people spy as much as they want since they have already meddled with my plans. I am supposed to spend my last night outside the academe with Kayden but now I had to change my itinerary all of a sudden because of this bunch of black-clothed men sitting on the sofa like they owned this place. How should I play with them then?

I turned around and looked at the prince on the sofa, I could see the surprise in his eyes and that of his subordinates with the sudden change of treatment. There were four attendants now instead of the three before. The one observing me by the arc must have joined them here.

I walked slowly and sat on the sofa in front of the demanding price. I undid my illusion barrier and showed him my real face. All of them seemed to have stopped breathing. Well, it isn’t a face you see everyday so I let my real countenance sink into their heads first. Since nobody seemed to want to talk, I released my pheromones and my mystic mana limits to torture them further for bullying Kayden and trying to bully me too. One by one, his four subordinates fell to their knees holding their necks as if they can’t breathe. As for the prince, he started heaving but he never took his eyes off of me. I can see his lips turn blue maybe due to pain or lack of oxygen.

I am not doing this to kill them so when I felt that they are already at their limits, I smiled sweetly and made all the pheromones and mana pressure stopped. I heard the four behind him cough and wheeze. The prince unclenched his fists and tried to normalize his breathing as soon as he can. I then started by saying, ”How does it feel to be bullied, Mr. Masseur or should I say Prince Aurum, 8th prince of Athanoviya?”

After getting his breathing back to normal, he surprised me with the first few sentences that came out of his mouth, ”I’m sorry. I did not mean to make you feel that I was bullying you.” I looked at him up and down, checking if he was hurt somewhere or if he’s an impostor. His subordinates looked at him like he was sick in the head too which means he doesn’t talk to people like this. I scoffed and looked away.

He then continued to explain as if angering me is something that he won’t want to happen, ”I did not bully that man. I simply asked where you were. His father came about half an hour ago. We only waited here. We did not do anything to hurt them.” I scoffed again and laughed a bit. Is he trying to coax me or something. I looked at him in the eyes for a few seconds and then said, ”It seems that you got tired of your blindness and had cured it so suddenly. How amusing.” He then smiled and said, ”I know that I wouldn’t be able to hide it from you. You did knew I wasn’t really blind. I just realized that maybe that was why you kept half of your face hidden when we first met. With the castless teleportation magic a while ago, you must be at least a rank 4 mage.” I looked away and answered non-chalantly, ”I am not required to tell you anything. Do you even feel any mana from me right now? Do you have any proof that I am a mage?” He slowly stood up and walked a few steps towards me but still kept a polite distance. He then stared at me as if trying to probe me. I felt a whiff of his mana touch my skin and then his eyes widened. He then looked down as if pondering something deeply. After about a minute of silence, he suddenly looked up and asked, ”Are you perhaps a mystique?”
