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

Chapter 136: Chapter 136 - A Quick Trip Outside the Academe

As we entered the academe’s cafeteria, the students and attendants inside who were also having their meals could not help but look at me. Who wouldn’t look if your entourage consists of a total of eight good-looking men?

I could only sigh and pretend that I do not hear any of the gossips or feel their envious and judging eyes boring a hole into my body. It took some time before all my ducklings were able to choose their preferred food and for us to find a table that can let all nine of us sit together. There are many tables but they refuse to sit far away from me as if I will suddenly disappear on them.

As usual, the royal highness took the longest time in choosing his preferred meal. I can even see a glimpse of a frown due to the available food choices in the cafeteria but since everybody had already chosen theirs, he must have felt embarrassed if he wouldn’t eat.

As for me, I never liked the meals here. This is also one of the reasons I pushed to earn more points so that I can rent an academe villa with its own pantry and kitchen. Finally, I can put my intermediate chef certification to good use and eat food that is cooked and seasoned the way I wanted it. Just thinking about it is making me drool with excitement. Since I have time in the afternoon, I think I should buy some fresh ingredients in the city market today so dinner would be way better.

Just being in the situation that I am in right now, I already feel my energy draining rapidly so I kept quiet during most parts of the meal. I only placed my remaining energy on what matters and that is making sure that Ioannis was eating enough and is not in need of anything.

As for the men, they also stayed quiet which is quite surprising especially in the case of Aurum who loves to complain on the littlest things based on previous circumstances. The guy simply ate his meal though his face betrays his dislike for the food in front of him. He still showed his impeccable dining etiquette though and just occasionally looked at me with a frown whenever I give some of my attention to Ioannis and how he is doing.

Dimitri was quiet since he knows Ioannis’ current state so he is not trying to compete with attention in any way. As for Arthur and the prince’s four aides, they all kept their heads down and ate their meal quietly. I enjoy this occasional peace a lot. We were able to finish our meals within 30 minutes and all went back to the villa.

Our walk back to the villa is quite quick or maybe they just matched my pace since I did walk quicker than usual since I have already planned things that I wanted to do this afternoon. Once we are back in the villa, I called on to Dimitri and Arthur. I gave quick instructions for them to dress up since they are coming with me to the city market to buy some fresh produce and other cooking ingredients for our villa.

As for Ioannis, I simply asked him if he had any type of food he is craving for or he is wanting to eat as of now. He smiled and simply requested for some fresh milk, some sour fruits and some sweet fruit tarts. I asked Arthur to list them down. Since we are all still gathered, I had to ask the other five if there was anything they need and they simply shook their heads.

Earlier, when I was asking Ioannis if he wanted any food in particular, I saw Aurum closely observing our every move and then eventually he stared at Ioannis stomach for a few seconds and then looked at me with furrowed brows. I saw him staring at me and I lifted my right eyebrow as if asking, ”What?”

Knowing that Aurum won’t be at peace unless he asks what’s on his mind, he started his question sounding quite unsure, ”Is he perhaps...?”

I waited for a few seconds but he did not complete his question so I impatiently asked, ”What?”

He then sighed and asked, ”Is he what I think he is...?” I closed my eyes and inhaled, trying not to make my temper flare. I then looked at Ioannis and his eyes met mine, I telepathically told him to deal with this guy.

He simply smiled sweetly and then said to everybody in the room, ”Kindly excuse me since I have been feeling rather sleepy most of the time since I found out I am pregnant. You can go on with your discussion.”

He then turned around and entered his own bedroom. As for me, I pulled Dimitri and Arthur out of the door. Without a care in the world, I started my teleportation spell right outside the door not waiting for any reaction coming from the gossipy prince. Our destination was my suite in the Moonlight Inn.

When we arrived at the inn, I saw the two guys tightly closing their eyes with pale faces as if they were extremely scared. Oh, I totally forgot that I usually teleport with Ioannis. These two only accompanied me for the first time today.

I snapped my finger to get their attention and said, ”You can open your eyes. Welcome to my personal suite here in the Moonlight Inn.”

The two slowly opened their eyes and looked around. Their eyes sparkled as they marveled at the classy but simple design of my suite. I chose warm and dark colors for my suite. It totally looked more like a bachelor’s pad than a suite owned by a woman. I always liked blue and brown though so they were my first choices when I built this room.

After they have settled and calmed down, I told them that there is someone we have to visit to have a quick meet and greet before we will proceed to our shopping trip at the nearby market. We moved down one floor and went straight to Kayden’s bedroom.

I knocked loudly at the door and then heard a lot of things falling down on the floor like somebody tumbled down. It took about a full two minutes before I heard the door click and slowly open. I saw Kayden wearing some pretty clothes which is definitely not something you would usually wear while you are at home all day. I grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him towards me and gave him a short but lingering kiss which he reciprocated immediately. I then pulled him out of his room into the corridor.

He was all smiles and happy at first until he saw the two men behind me. His head snapped to look at me and he immediately asked, ”Who are they?”

I kept my face serious and talked like it was business as usual. I first introduced the lesser important of the two in this situation. I started with pointing to Arthur explaining that he is the attendant assigned to me by the academe to replace Ioannis. Kayden then smiled and shook his hand like how a normal gentleman would.

Now, here’s where we will see how magnanimous this husband of mine is. I then started introducing the next one, ”This is Dimitri Vacarro. He’s the heir of the duchy of the southern territory and my third husband.”

He nodded his head and even shook Dimitri’s hand with a smile. Dimitri looked quite surprised with how calm Kayden was but I knew he was not calm at all since I can see the twitch on the sides of his lips as he’s trying to keep himself calm and looking amicable. Once he let go of Dimitri’s hand, he immediately faced me. He was smiling but damn if those sharp eyes were knives, I would have been cut by the blades a thousand times.

After staring at me for barely 5 seconds, he turned around and slammed his bedroom door at all of us. I told you he was definitely not okay. Arthur and Dimitri, slowly turned their head to look at me. I gave them a helpless smile and told them that he is the one who gets jealous more easily out of the first two husbands and that he’s going to feel okay eventually. Since he is already shocked, might as well go all the way.

Before the three of us left, I shouted right outside the door, ”I’ll visit you some other time when you have calmed down. By the way, Ioannis is pregnant! Bye!”

I heard things tumble to the ground again but as for me, it is better to stay away from a grumpy guy so I immediately teleported with two men in tow to the lowest floor of the inn.

Once we are out of the inn, I immediately brought Dimitri and Arthur towards the market within my property where I have allowed sellers to rent small spaces to sell their wares for a very low rent. I can see the eyes of the two guys roam around with evident happiness.

For guys that are usually kept indoors by their circumstances, going around on a short trip like this in a bustling city is definitely a wonderful experience for them. Since I have provided some storage accessories for both of the guys plus my own storage space, we were able to buy quite a lot of things. I bought a bit more than usual since I plan to stop by the community kitchen before going back in the academe.

We left my property and then went to the regular markets outside. I need to buy the things that Ioannis wanted as well as other fresh produce that were unavailable in the smaller market stands. We did a quick stop at the bakery then I refilled the community kitchen’s pantry a bit.

After I finished what I needed to do, we walked back leisurely towards the academe. We each only had a medium-sized bag for show while the rest are in our storage devices. The bag are there to prove that we indeed went out to buy stuff.

After a few minutes, I could already see the villa gate from afar. I was quite surprised though when I saw a man standing outside the gates but I could not see his countenance since he was looking down and was dressed quite modestly. I could not see a single patch of skin showing for his clothes covered everything up. Honestly, I only guessed it was a man from the person’s height and how the body was built.

When we were already just a few steps away, the person looked up and I immediately knew it was Void even with all the disguises he put on himself. He looked just like a normal human and no hint of mystique mana too which is quite impressive. I instructed Arthur and Dimitri to go inside first as I have someone important to attend to. I also gave them the bags that I was carrying so that they can arrange their contents in the kitchen.

I stopped in front of Void and put a sound barrier around the two of us. He must need to report something very important that he was willing to risk being seen with me inside the academe. I wonder if the news that he’s brought is something good or bad.
