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

Chapter 138: Chapter 138 - Void’s Detailed Reports of the Mystique Races Part 2

The two races welcomed the festival because it usually results to a number of pregnancies that will add to their population. At the same time, they hated it because they couldn’t remember anything about what happened during those two weeks. It was like having drunk sex with strangers every day for two weeks straight without having any memory of it afterwards. At first it may seem thrilling but I think, none of the unmarried male elves like being treated like disposable tools like this.

Most of the elves that were affected by the full moons also end up drained of almost all of their stamina and mana, their bodies marked with bruises and wounds, their private parts battered from all the strenuous sexual activity. Most of the men even end up being bedridden, extremely weak and sick for about a month after the festival. In previous years, males that were most sought after for their beauty and charm end up being brutally abused so much by several sexual partners during the event that they ended up just a few breaths from death after everything has been said and done. I can’t imagine such torture if I was in the same situation. As for the elves that call themselves ”high” or ”elders”, if a male dies, they were either deemed as unlucky or too weak. All in all, they were simply treated as necessary collateral damage for the continuation of their race.

As for the females of all ages, males that already have children or have not come of age yet, they will also be extremely weak and vulnerable that they could be easily hunted and killed by even a human with no mana. Since their population is already in dangerously low levels, these weakened individuals have resorted to hiding in very secretive and secure places as they wait for the effect of the full moons to wean. The rest of the male population, they would be like bed slaves that are available for the taking of anyone who finds them during the festival. Void said that before, any woman that are already of age can join the festival but in the recent decades, the two races have learned their lessons and only let those who are gifted with either high physical strength or high magical affinity enter. If you have both these traits, you are in great luck since you will be prioritized to take your pick of at least four males that you want to spend the two weeks with. I couldn’t help but smile at these races’ predicament during this annual festival. The effect of the two moons were clearly written in some of the documents I saw in my study in the Eieneos palace. I have a strong inkling that this is one of the side effects of the curse that was released at the time that Eieneos fell from grace. As to what they have been throughout these last few centuries, they were punished to be mere playthings during an annual festival that they can never escape from. It must be another means of the gods to punish the two races that were evil by nature but always presented themselves as pure and righteous.

I smiled at all the detailed information he got and have already thought of the perfect way to get in. I honestly meet both their requirements anyway, being gifted both with physical and magical affinities. The trick is to enter the sanctuary in an identity that they would not doubt as someone who has plans to put any of their races in danger. As for me, I can take back the two trees and the total of five orbs that Nische needed to get back to support the new world tree realm. Since just for this single time, our goals aligned about having children, I might plant take some seeds from ones that I deemed as worthy ”vessels” and then make sure I take them back to the room of beginnings before the two-week festival ends. It settles my task of making sure that none of the races will die out. Since they are also not in their right minds, harvesting mana and life essences from the chosen fathers will be easy as well. Since I will have cute baby elves and heralds, might as well secure their nutrition until they are born. Not that these elves and heralds can do anything if I squeeze them of their mana and life essences if I need it in the future but I just want to take the route with the least hassle.

After giving me a very detailed report of the main targets, I eventually got tired of hearing about the lives of those two traitor races so I moved the conversation forward to the last task on the list I have given to Void. It is about the history, background and goals of the dark organization, Noir. The first thing that Void confirmed was that Sklavryet is their headquarters. It was their fully-owned and supported territory. He said that it was set up similar to a free commerce city wherein any race is allowed to live, work, and even start a family in. He then divulged a shocking information that the ancestors of Eieneos built the organization and supported it financially until the time the kingdom’s realm closed to the world. As for the population inside the city, he said that during his several visits, he noticed that most of the people living there were unmarried males. Except for the occasional women who turned out to be married to one of the males in the territory or children of the older males living in the city, other females are only migrant or contractual workers who chose to work there because who wouldn’t when the place was safe and the pay was good. For migrant workers though, Noir was quite strict since all of them are only given a 6-month contract under close probation.

The territory protects the rights of the male population to the highest degree. They are prioritized here in everything. An example will be when it comes to relationships. Females who touch males are required to either marry the males and financially support them or die so women are very careful with their affairs in the territory. As for women who force themselves to unwilling men, they are never found. Who knows how they turned out? The only two options were either to take responsibiluty or leave your life in these lands. The only exception would be is if a female touched a man who was a sex slave or a prostitute and paid for their services. Though ironic, these jobs are legally allowed in the territory. I was quite surprised with this information when they are proudly saying that males are prioritized and protected here. He saw the confusion on my face and immediately clarified that the slaves and prostitutes were in that line of work out of their own free will either due to debt, personal circumstances or due to them having the same job even before they moved in Sklavryet so they don’t know any other job besides being those. He warned me though that most males in Sklavryet lived double lives and it will be very dangerous for anyone to mess with them or cheat them. Most of them were trained in the assassination, information-gathering, shipment escorting and spying professions which are the main services provided by Noir. Their skill sets were for disguise, use of poison, stealth, ambush, fighting and killing. When these guys do not have missions, they work as your everyday laborer within the city. They can be the baker in the bread shop, the butcher in the meat stall, a person that carries boxes at the port or a waiter at your local pub. They can literally be anyone. They earn their money just like all the migrant or contractual workers through normal jobs present in the city. The previous leaders reiterated the importance of learning other skills and jobs that are different from their main jobs so that when the time comes that they have to retire, they won’t starve due to not knowing how to earn money using other more ”normal” means. I can only imagine how interesting the city would be and how much fun I will have guessing which males have another job under Noir. Knowing how rich Noir is, the security and facilities of their territory must be quite impressive too. As for their connection with Eieneos, I am definitely interested in taking advantage of that since the place, based on Void’s description, has a lot of potential. I think that doing business in Sklavryet will be very profitable if I create connections with the right people and invest in the right businesses.

Once Void finished his reports, he kneeled on one knee again, waiting for further instructions. I asked Void again to standup. I then gave him two cloth bags, one each of mystique mana orbs and lust orbs. He immediately gave his sincere thanks and was about to bid goodbye when I suddenly called his name, ”Void! Can you come near me for a second?” He turned to look at me and walked till he’s only a step away from me. He stared at me with somewhat expectant eyes, I then told him, ”I like to know more about the land of the Giants and the Beastmen too if that would be possible.” He nodded his head happily, as if being rewarded another task is the best thing that can happen to him. I can’t erase from my memories, that smirk he wore on his face when he caught me staring at him for too long so let’s just act on it, shall we? I leaned forward, grab the nape of his neck and gave him a slow tongue kiss. I felt his whole body stiffen and heat up immediately. I ended the kiss without making it last for a minute when I felt him grab my waist and start kissing me back torridly. I pushed him back with the same smirk on my face as a way to get even from earlier. Since he worked hard to complete all the tasks I gave, I made sure to give his sustenance personally this time.

Void’s POV

What just happened? Did she just- That was a kiss, right? When our lips touched, I immediately felt my whole body invigorated as mana was supplied to my body through the queen’s lips. After a little while though, something else entered my body that made me feel hot and aroused. Was she lusting after me? My body couldn’t help but kiss back almost immediately with all the pleasure I was feeling. But right when things were starting to get steamier, she pushed me back to stop the kiss. That smirk on her face tells me that I fell into her trap! I shouldn’t have been haughty earlier. I really want to tell her to give me my sustenance this way from here on... Damn. I want more of that.
