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

Chapter 126: Chapter 126 - A good day for a talk between married couples

I spent the rest of the day reading through books, documents and answering questions sent over by the magic tower. I cooked lunch, had some snacks and then had dinner in utter silence since I have nobody to talk to. Lia doesn’t count since I can talk to her through telepathy anyways. The silence would have made anybody mad. I am not just anybody though. If I look at it in a positive light, it has forced me to focus on several tasks that have deadlines in the near future and I was actually able to finish them in advance. If I finish all of these, I might start with creating more products for my stores instead.

When night came, I came to my room to check on Ioannis. He’s still sound asleep. It was good that he’s a demi-mystique now so he doesn’t get hungry easily. He hasn’t eaten for a total of three meals since he passed out. I changed to my sleeping clothes and laid next to him. I made sure to hug him with my arm and my leg just like a giant and warm teddy bear. This sleeping position is so comfy! I did not even notice at what point I fell asleep.

The next morning, as I opened my eyes, I saw his dark brown eyes staring at me. I blinked twice then smiled. I rolled on top of him and nuzzled my face on his neck. I then murmured, ”Good morning, my gorgeous husband. What time did you wake up?” He enveloped me in his arms and then softly replied, ”I have been awake for about half an hour. I just didn’t move because I don’t want to disturb your sleep.”

I kissed him on the neck and then I heard him make a soft and seductive sigh. I pushed myself up and stared at his face. I then smiled at him and asked, ”Shall we start our honeymoon then?” He looked at me and asked innocently, ”What’s a honeymoon?”

I totally forgot that it was a modern-day earth term so I had to explain it in words he can understand. ”Honeymoon is the first few months or so after a couple get married. It is a time filled with lots of intimacy so the couple can get even closer.”

He blinked a few times while looking at me as if trying to absorb the explanation I just gave. He furrowed his brows and asked, ”We have been intimate from the first time I spent the night with you, though? We have been together for a few months too. Isn’t the honeymoon time over?”

I giggled and said, ”Did you think I gave my all during those times? You were a human then and I don’t want to break my new husband just because I was too horny.”

His eyes widened as his face started to blush. I then looked away and pretended to be sad, ”Well, if you think it was already finished then we don’t need to have another honeymoon. It doesn’t matter anyways.”

I then rolled away from him and avoided looking at his face as if I was hurt. I then stood up from the bed and walked quickly to the bathroom to take a shower. It took sometime for him to process that I was sulking.

He was indeed a block of ice when I first met him so I did not expect that much from his emotional quotient. I smiled inside the shower while trying to contain my laughter. I quickly showered and by the time he went inside the bathroom, I walked out while ignoring him.

His face was hilarious. He looks pale and confused because surely he doesn’t know how to approach a sulking woman. As for his one track mind, he still focused on why he was in the bathroom hurriedly took his shower then catch up to me. As for me, I hurriedly dressed up so that I won’t be in the room when he comes out of the bath.

Once I left the room, I went straight to the kitchen to cook a meal for two. I’m pretending to sulk but I won’t let my hubby go hungry. I cooked my favorite fried eggs, ham that I made during my cooking class experiments aand then boiled some water for tea.

Once the table is set, I sat and started eating. If you’re sulking you don’t wait for the other person for meals of course, right? I just ate slowly and pulled out some papers and a pen from my storage. I then started writing some recipes of popular dishes in this world that I have tried but tinkered them a bit to my liking using modern cooking techniques and ingredients. I will never regret getting that profession perk from Alistair.

When Ioannis came down the stairs, he looked surprised that for the first time, I started having my meals without him. Oh! He looks like he’s about to cry which is weird since I am the one who’s sulking here. He slowly sat on the table and started eating.

I could feel that he was staring at me as he waited patiently for me to give him a bit of attention. Again, I didn’t give him any. When I finished my meal, I stood up and casted magic to clean my plates and utensils them returned them to the dish cabinets.

I walked past him and said in the coldest tone I could muster, ”Meet me at the study after your meal. We have important things we need to talk about. It’s the room right next to the bedroom where we slept.”

I then went my way up the stairs. I heard him eating quickly and he even choked as he did. He should be wanting to catch up to me upstairs the soonestl.

I reached the door of the study quite quickly and as I was about to close the door to get in, Ioannis’ hand stopped the door from closing. He hurriedly said as if he’s scared I’ll change my mind about talking to him, ”I am here! I’m done eating and cleaning up. Let’s talk. We can talk now! Can I come in?”

I kept my face serious as I looked at him and answered, ”Sure. Come in.” We walked into the study and sat on the comfy chairs inside. This talk is necessary since I have decided to have him as the main husband.

Once we’re seated, I immediately dropped a bomb on him. ”Even before I was brought here from another world, I already have four pre-arranged husbands. They are all of Eieneos descent and my task is to give birth to more pureblooded Eieneans in the near future through them.” He looked at me with wide eyes and I saw that he was about to speak so I raised my hand to signal him to stop. He swallowed hard and nodded. I continued my confession, ”Dimitri is not the third husband. He’s the fourth one. I did not count the other one in since we technically have not consummated the marriage and we got together by accident. He is not human either so I kept him hidden from you guys.”

Ioannis tried to speak again but I raised my hand again to stop him. I saw him clench his fists and then he looked away. ”Those five are all in this realm. I will take you to meet them one by one. As for you guys, you don’t have to feel inferior since you are husbands I chose by my own free will. I aimed to change all of you to dem-mystiques so your lifespan can match mine and you can bear children for me without putting your lives on the line.”

His head snapped but his face do not look as angry as before. His fists have loosened and he looked at me. He then sent a telepathic message, ”Can I speak now? I then nodded.

Ioannis sighed deeply and said, ”Thank you for your honesty and thank you for picking me as your first husband.” He looked down with a smile on his face, his eyes showing a bit of melancholy. He looked up again and said, ”I would be happy to meet them. I don’t have a say as to which men you will be taking in the future or who you wish to have a child with first. They were arranged by your ancestors and it is something you have to do to continue your bloodline. I am not angry nor would I make things hard for you but could I ask a favor. No... Two favors.”

I nodded again and signaled for him to continue what he was about to say. He then looked at me and sighed again, ”My two favors aren’t hard to accomplish. The first one is that, I want to do that honeymoon you mentioned this morning.”

His face then blushed fiercely but he kept staring into my eyes as if saying he’s dead serious about it. I kept my face emotionless and simply waited for him to continue. He then said, ”The second favor is, since you said that you are happy to have had all your firsts with me, may I also have the honor of bearing your first child in this world, Luna?”

My face that was emotionless sure cracked as I felt my face feel hot. We stared at each other’s eyes for several seconds and I can see that he was starting to get nervous.

He must have thought that I will say no since I am currently sulking. I purposely just stared at him and did not answer Immediately. All of sudden, I saw a teardrop fall from his right eye then he hurriedly wiped it with the back of his hand and he looked away. He’s self-pitying again, isn’t he?

I abruptly stood up and sat beside him. I hooked my arm around his waist and pulled him to me and whispered, ”I will gladly give you both favors. Even if you did not ask about them, that was my original plan which is why I brought you here. Since you are so willing, I want you to always wear a robe starting tomorrow. I don’t want you wearing anything underneath that robe, understand?” I heard him gulp loudly but he still nodded. I kissed him on the cheek and whispered again, ”To be fair, I will wear a dress with nothing underneath too.” He looked at me nervously. He knew he’s gonna have to take whatever I give him from here on.
