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

Chapter 175: Chapter 175 - Life Decisions

As I opened my eyes, I am finally back inside the comforts of my bedroom again. All I want to do is sleep and rest my mind which is something my body technically doesn’t need but I guess my sanity does. I buried myself in my soft blanket and try to forget everything I needed to do right now and in the near future. Since I arrived here, I have encountered humans, a dark elf, a blood demon and a giant so far. I wonder what race I will meet next. By the way, it is only a couple of weeks left before the annual blood event of those traitors starts. Should I explore the nearby territories while I’m waiting? Gollmortha and Lyartaim is nearby and it would only take me a few hours to reach their sanctuaries and pay them a visit but what would I tell them when I go there. Should I just tell them I’m the heir to Eieneos? Maybe not for now. Let’s just shelf that idea but reconsider it in a few days.

With these jumbled thoughts, I fell asleep and automatically woke up about half an hour before my job at the port starts. As I went outside of my room, I saw Lark preparing breakfast for two just like a cute little housewife would. I sat down at our dining table and watch him do his chores with curiousity in my eyes. I wonder what went through him that he’s cooking for me. After a few minutes, he sat in front of me and joined me in my meal. He was quiet compared to how he normally was when it was just the two of us but he looked better compared to yesterday after I told him the real set up of my family’s affairs. We still went through the meal in silence. Once I’m done with my meal, I said my thanks to him then stood up and used cleaning magic on my eating utensils and used floating magic to return them to the kitchen shelves. I turned around to go leave for work when he suddenly spoke, ”I appreciate your honesty last time. I don’t know if that was your way of trying to convince me to get out of this setup we have or maybe even out of your life but I still want to be part of your everything you have and will have in the future. Nothing will change my mind anymore.” I turned around to look at him and I saw him with his eyes closed as if preparing himself for something that would hurt a lot. I walked towards him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. I then ran out of the house and on my way to work before he realizes that I took advantage of him again.

Lark’s POV

It took some time for me to digest the family setup that Luna explained to me. I also kind of felt hurt that Ioannis tried to trick me by withholding important information to get me to just join their family and then just use me to monitor everything that Luna will be doing while she is here in Sklavryet. I was shocked and a little betrayed but it did nothing when it comes to changing my mind about being with her. I have set my body, mind, soul, heart and every other single part of my being to be with her and be hers. None of her husbands would be able to shoo me awayat this point in time.

I know she came home late last nightl again. For some reason, I have a strong gut feeling that she is keeping men,YES, I know there is more than one for some reason. She is definitely keeping them outside and must be secretly meeting them whenever she is out for long periods of time. The normal emotions of a man in a situation like this should be jealousy or anger but I don’t feel any of those. You can call me weird but what I felt was the fear of being replaced. It was a fear where I feel like the longer I procrastinate about telling her what my decision is, the lower the chance she will take me in or choose me to be her man. If my gut feel is right, there are already people outside waiting for their chance to sneak in to her life. There’s definitely more than one! I just feel it! She smelled like she just showered! I did not enter her room this time to give her space. I will just prepare breakfast for her tomorrow before she goes to work.

After breakfast when I am already full with food and got a bit of my bravery saved up, I finally told her that I am still willing to be his man no matter what the exisiting family set up was. She has her back on me but atleast i got her attention since she stopped walking. She kept her silence though and it was honestly killing me as seconds passed by. I closed my eyes and brace for a rejection but all I heard was hurried footsteps and then I felt a quick peck on my lips. I snapped my eyes open and the last thing I saw was Luna running out of the door. Was that her answer? The kiss means I’m officially in her family, right? Damn. I am not sure. Why does she have to run away without saying anything?!

I arrived at the port within 10 minutes as I did my daily brisk walking. I went to the team I was assigned to so I can get my list of daily tasks and my assigned delivery quota. I looked around, hoping I would see Makisig but he’s nowhere to be found. I was curious as to where he was but I don’t want to reveal to anybody that we know each other personally so I kept my curiousity in the bare minimum. I finished my shift and all my tasks on schedule and went to my next part time job at Kama to cook brunch for the people working there.

As I arrived in Kama, from only one apprentice, it seems like I have a few more this time. I don’t mind if they want to learn how to cook though. They aren’t my official apprentices though. It would be great if they were but they aren’t. These people just find cooking and helping out in the kitchen really fun or maybe interesting to some degree. I did my quick prep and cooking and left for my next part time job at the restaurant. I finished my tasks there at around 2pm and went back to my suite at the inn.

When I arrived at the inn lobby, I asked the receptionist if a guy went out from my room left this morning or maybe just arrived earlier. The receptionist said that somebody came down to get food but immediately went back up afterwards. Did he just stay in the room all day? Why didn’t he go to work at the port? I quickly teleported to the top most floor in front of my suite door. I opened the door and saw him sitting on the bed and staring at nothing. I called out to his name and he looked surprised that I was already inside the room. What is he even thinking of to be that absent-minded. I went straight to the shower to clean up, went straight to bed and laid beside him. We pretty much heated up real quickly just by being next to each other and we had another blissful bedtime session. I might as well take advantage of our arrangement as much as I can since his heat would end by tomorrow and that I definitely did. He ended up passing out on me again.

The next day was pretty much the same including my meeting with Makisig inthe afternoon. It was supposed to be a normal day if not for another life decision that I never though that I have to do again which I can say was way too early than I expected. It was totally unplanned, unexpected and at the same time gave me an extraordinary feeling of happiness.

After my bedtime session with Makisig whose heat period ends today, I started hearing a peculiar and erratic beating sound as if it was a person’s heart after running too fast. What was even more peculiar was the strong pull I felt from the depths of my soul that shook me. I immediately tried to find where it came from and I traced it back to Makisig’s womb. I looked at his face intently while the guy seemed to be clueless about why I am suddenly staring at him. I immediately placed my hand on his womb, closed my eyes and sent my mystique mana towards his body. What I sensed were two orbs of life inside his womb. My eyes opened abruptly, my hand left his womb as if I touched something scorching hot and my eyebrows furrowed. I definitely placed a birth control seal on his womb while we were by the lake as a preventive measure. Did the lake cancel off the effects of the seal or does the seal simply refuse to work on mystiques in general? Why is he pregnant right now?!

Makisig was staring at me as if I suddenly became weird in his eyes but he just kept his opinions to himself. I couldn’t keep quiet though and asked, ”How is the fertility rate of your race?” He looked at me with a sudden sadness in his eyes and responded, ”It is abysmal if I were to say so. Many married couples in our race have been together for many years but they are still yet to have a single child. Why did you suddenly ask?” I then smiled and responded, ”Nothing. I was just curious. So, what will happen if someone gets pregnant finally?” He smiled sweetly and said, ”I guess it would be a big celebration because finally we have a new addition to our bloodline and that will mean that we will not go extinct just yet.” I nodded my head in understanding and then asked again, ”Can we visit Gollmortha together?” He looked at me like he was confused but he still nodded his head enthusiastically. He looks like he could not believe what he just heard. He then asked, ”When do you want to go?” I replied, ”This weekend would be good. I’ll help you buy a house.” He then responded, ”Huh? Why are you suddenly giving me such an expensive gift?” I smiled mysteriously and replied, ”I’ll let you know once we reach your sanctuary.”
