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

Chapter 176: Chapter 176 - Why do old people love to matchmake?

I basicallly spent the rest of the week feeding my men nutritious food and working hard at my jobs. I have to strengthen their bodies since the other guy is pregnant and the other one is about to be eaten by me. I asked for a day off on all my jobs this coming Friday and decided to chill a bit since I will be busy this coming weekend. I still scheduled a visit at the Noir HQ though since that is an important thing I can’t delay.

Once Friday came, it was the time for my regular visit at the Noir HQ for the meeting with the elders again. The agenda of my visits are usually updates on the day to day activities of the territory, everything about money which covers how much the territory earned and how much it spent for the last half month, some paperwork that I need to urgently sign, projects that need my suggestions or approval for as well as the usual story-telling time of the elders about their escapades during their younger days when they are still active duty members of the organization. They also love stuffing me with delicious food but it was also a way for my three apprentice chefs to show me their cooking skills and they see it as their rare chance to get my honest feedback about any points of improvement in their craft. One new thing added to my agenda today though was looking into Richard’s training which I chose to do in secret by watching him from afar. (Author’s Note: For those who don’t remember him, he’s the puppy our FL picked up at Elysia.) He hasn’t seen my face before when we met in Elysia but he knew that he was rescued by someone from Noir whose codename was ”Queen”.

According to the people training him who made it a point to give me regular reports about the guy, they said that he was very diligent and driven when it comes to his training. There were even times when he was too engrossed in training that he fell sick due to over exhaustion. I fully understand where his drive was coming from and I know that he feels that he has to get stronger quickly to get his revenge but it shouldn’t be at the cost of his health or his life. I think I have to talk to him about these things but without him seeing me, of course. Maybe writing a letter would suffice. I’ll write one before I leave HQ today.

Recently, the elders have found another fun thing for them to do which is not so fun for me, honestly. It started at first with the old men from the Noir HQ seemingly just curious about what I find interesting or appealing when it comes to men. They ask me things out of the blue about my likes and dislikes like food, weather, color, even people’s personalities and physical qualities of men that I tend to be more attracted to. After they got a list of most of the things that I like and dislike, they told me that an additional report will be submitted to me during the weekly elder meetings from the next one onwards. I don’t know if it is their way of making sure that the close ties of Sklavryet and Eieneos will be kept or that they simply find joy in pairing unmarried men to me but they started describing and introducing me to some unmarried members of the organization.

When the next meeting date came (which was today), the additional report appeared on the table right in front of me. It was inside a red and weird looking folder which they hand over to me after all the important tasks have been handled in the meeting. It was given to me in the form of about a 30-page report and inside it were drawn pictures of men and every possible thing they have found out about them through their vast information network. My only reaction was that the file is too detailed and could be tagged as totally NSFW back in my world. I actually feel quite bad t for the men in the list since I usually see them around the HQ and this territory too. Most of the people in those files were people from the territory with occasional men that they call ”high quality” for some reason from other territories. My memory is quite good so I remember everything I read quite vividly after just seeing it once and it made things really awkward for me. It was hard to pretend that I don’t know anything about the men whenever I see them. Though I only found out about them through reports, the information I know about them are too indecent most of time and it is supposed to be something that only their future lovers should know. The elders even had the confidence to tell me that I can pick anybody from the list. I just need to point at their drawn picture and the organization will deliver the guy to me ready for bed. It was honestly very tempting but I am not that desperate. This organization knows too much and can also do a lot of things and get away with it.

Though Noir technically belongs to me, I still can’t help but feel that they are a bit scary during times like these. They are so nonchalant about giving me sensitive information and they are quite vocal about kidnapping men if I want them too. Though they said that it was a joke, I totally feel it wasn’t with how borderline fanatic they are towards me just by being from Eieneos. They said that the men in the territory would definitely be willing to be with me. They would only be kidnapping the outsiders. This was a bit ironic with how they closely protect their own men but do not give much importance to men from other territories. Picking someone from the list feels like a trap especially when 8 out of the 10 listed are from Sklavryet. If I choose one of them, it is like placing a string that ties me up to this place for life. The men are unmarried and untouched. I know they did this on purpose since they must have investigated about me as well. They must have found out my weakness of not being able to abandon men who gave their firsts to me.

To let you know more about what is inside the reports, let us start with the very first one that I got a couple of weeks ago. The first report included unmarried high ranking members of Noir as well as those that are closely related by blood to the current elders and other high ranking officials. It spans a wide range of age brackets with the oldest being in their late 20s. It also included the current leader whom I actually met at the academe when he went undercover as a student. Oh my! This report even has confidential information like blood type, natural eye, hair and skin color, family background (if they aren’t orphans), which territory they were originally from when they were found (for orphans), results of recent health checks (if they have health issues or possible illness they can pass on to their offspring), officially measured fertility rates at the time of their coming of age, even the size of body parts like their feet, biceps, waist, hips, thighs and including THAT. Yes. The length and girth of that thing between their legs! I don’t even know how they got all these information! Did they ask each man to get undressed while they measure all of these? (Author’s Note: They actually good luck did that as well as hacking medical records and paying off people that handle their clothing and health checks. It was very shady indeed.) They even have a list of the men’s fetishes and tips on how I can get each man’s attention and interest on me. Isn’t this a total breach of the their privacy?

I placed the report down on the table and sighed heavily. Sure, the information was very interesting. I find it shocking and funny at times. The elders said that they plan to only place 10 men on each report they will give me for easier checking and decision-making on my part. They assured me that if none of the men in the list caught my interest, they will prepare another report by the next meeting for 10 new eligible partners for me. I kindly told them that they do not need to bother doing it but they begged that they want to have stronger ties with me and Eieneos so the only way they can think of is if I chose a few men as my lovers and hopefully sire a few children with those men. The children will then become possible future leaders and managers of the organization by blood right. They really admitted what I thought was just my idea. They want a relationship not only by affinity but via consanguinity too. They are already planning for the next generation, huh? Should I just deify them all so they don’t need a change of management ever again and I will be able to lessen my workload too?

After going through all the reports and agenda, I ate a scrumptious dinner with all of them and bid my goodbye to go home to where my little house husband was. I was able to arrive home within 10 minutes and even before I opened the door, Lark already welcomed me in. For some reason, he cleaned the other empty rooms in the house as if he was preparing for people who might visit. I did not comment about his peculiar actions and simply kissed him on the lips which still makes him blush even if I had been doing it every day for several days now since he told me about his decision. We decided to sleep in the same room and bed again but I insisted on not taking his purity yet. He complained almost everyday about it which I usually respond to with a laugh. It is not that I do not want Lark anymore. It was more like a desperate need in trying to control the speed of how things have been happening in my life. The parcels from the gods just keep coming and I don’t want to open all of them at the same time.
