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

Chapter 203: Chapter 203 - The uneventful morning after

After bathing, playing a bit and putting the eight guys to bed, I went back to the room I’m sharing with Vaelion. As I opened the door, the guy suddenly sat up straight on the bed and looked down towards the ground in respect. I simply walked past him and went straight to our room’s personal bath to freshen up. I wore my sleeping clothes and went straight to bed, hugging the shivering guy on the bed. I don’t remember when exactly I fell asleep but it was an uneventful night in my opinion.

I woke up the next morning feeling refreshed. As for the guy beside me, he is still asleep so I did not move or make any sound and simply waited for him to naturally wake up. After about half an hour, his eyes opened wide suddenly and then he spoke, ”Those guys are awake.” He then looked at me and greeted, ”Good morning, master.” As for me, I rolled on top of him and kissed him torridly on the lips which he reciprocated immediately. I dry humped him a bit for fun and I earned a few whimpers and groans. Once he’s panting and heated up, I rolled off of him and invited him to prepare breakfast together. He sighed heavily, trying to hide his hard on and then weakly sat up and followed me to the kitchen to start cooking. There’s a total of 10 mouths to feed in this house right now so we better start the preparations early.

One by one, the guys in the first room came out. I tasked Vaelion to talk to them for now on my behalf and serve them some of the warm soup we prepared last night. I only allowed him to tell the story that they passed out one by one after completing the ritual with me then I teleported them to this villa to protect them from the women preying on them last night. I also allowed him to tell them that I gave each of them a bath and then tucked them to bed asleep. They may not believe what he said though since I did extract a huge chunk of essences from their bodies so they may still be feeling empty and weak right now. It gives a false feeling of having done intimate things with somebody. I told Vaelion that if they insisted that they do not believe that nothing happened last night, he just needs to not answer and tell them to ask me directly instead once I am done preparing breakfast.

I was able to finish preparing everything after half an hour, thanks to Vaelion’s help earlier. When I came out of the kitchen, the nine guys are currently sitting obediently around the dining table, waiting patiently for the food to arrive. I invited them to eat and they did so obediently. They started eating only after I started to do so in respect. Nobody dared to ask the questions they have on their minds during the meal.

Once we are almost done with the meal, I started an important topic I had to discuss instead without moving my eyes from my food, ”I will not touch any of you throughout the rest of this festival. You are free to still do your day jobs in the middle district but make sure that you are in this villa before dinner which is about 6:30pm, unless you want to go crazy under the moonlight and get snatched by another woman on your way here. If somebody else touches you, I will sell you to them outright. Do you have any questions?” I continued eating as if what I have announced was something very trivial. When I noticed the silence, I lifted my head to look at their faces. They were all looking pale and scared for some reason. Oh. I totally forgot about them hating the idea of spending their intimate time with random women. Of course, what I said will scare the heck out of them.

When my eyes met theirs, they immediately nodded in unison. Reiss was the first to speak since he is like the leader of this bunch or much like a mastermind if you think about it. He asked the question that I am sure they all wanted to ask. He carefully spoke and asked,”Did you take our first nights while we were unconscious?” With a cold face, I replied, ”No.” They looked at me with widened eyes and simply looked down. I scoffed as I saw the obvious disbelief in their faces and then asked a question in return, ”What’s the point of asking me if you won’t believe a single word of my answer?” I then stood up from the dining table and since I noticed that everybody’s done with their meals, I waved my hand to clean up everything. I then looked at Vaelion and said, ”Let’s go shopping for later’s lunch.” We then stood up to leave the villa. The others were quiet but there was one who was brave enough that actually asked if he could accompany me to where I want to go.

I looked back and saw that it was Therlis (the healer / botanist) and I simply gave a ”Sure” as a response. He hurriedly went inside his assigned room and changed his clothes. Me and Vaelion did the same. We went out of the door towards the middle district at around 8:30am with Therlis in tow. The other seven also followed us three from behind, having heard that we will also be going to the middle district. This group garnered a lot of curious looks and glares from the people living in the posh district. I don’t blame them though since I have nine men in tow.

As for my entourage, I reminded them that they can use the storage earring I gave them to carry and bring stuff back here. It can also assist them in managing their respective shops better. They all felt around their ears at the same time and blushed when they felt the earring attached to their right earlobes. Did they like my cute gift that much?

Each of the guys went back to their respective stores while me, Therlis and Vaelion went shopping for food ingredients. Therlis immediately volunteered to carry some of the shopping items. It only took us an hour to finish shopping with how efficient my assistant are. We passed by the other seven guys’ stores to see if they needed any help to open up (since they are still weak) but they all looked well enough to complete their tasks alone. We then went straight to the outer district after checking up on everybody. Now, we need to check the slaves and if the precautions I did worked well for the first night of the moon’s effects.

As we reached the outer district, there were very few people outside. Only few can be found outside, sitting weakly or walking slowly, trying to do some household chores. If this was all an act, I would really commend them for their perfect acting. We went straight to Ithil’s house and knocked. It took sometime for him to open the door and he looked pale and weak when he did so. After closing the door, he immediately changed back to his energetic self, thanking me profusely for all my help. He went and told me about what happened last night and how everybody stayed indoors quietly. It just confirmed that my precautions (the barrier, potion and the soundproofing spell) worked perfectly to counter the effects of this festival. As for Vaelion and Therlis, they were looking at me as if they are looking at someone they are idolizing. It was honestly a very awkward feeling.

The day went by as normal as it could be. After preparing lunch for everybody, the three of us went around the forest to gather alchemy materials. Therlis was surprised that I know a lot about plants. He totally forgot his fear and doubts about me as he asked questions about he plants we encountered while walking around. He looked like a cute disciple to me. He also wrote down notes on an heavy and bulky looking journal he was carrying with him.

As the sunset was coming in half an hour, we started walking back to the gates of the outer district. We did our short greetings and continued walking across the middle district to go home to my villa in the inner district (posh area). The seven guys were waiting for some reason at the corner of a street bear the gates to the posh area as if waiting for me to arrive. I simply walked past them and they quietly followed from behind. We again got a lot of curious and judging looks from the people in the middle district that we passed by as well as the people from the posh area that we had to get past before arriving at my assigned villa. This is somehing that we just had to get used to for the following days, I guess.

As we arrived at my villa, an elderly elf and an elderly herald were standing right outside my door, waiting for me to arrive. Why I knew they were waiting? That’s because their faces seemingly brightened immediately upon seeing me arrive. They immediately invited me to the office which was in the biggest villa in the area. As for the bunch following me, I gave them the task to clean the house, clean themselves up and prepare dinner together. Everybody nodded in unison and hurriedly got inside my house. As for the two elderly men, I saw them nodding their heads and murmuring as if they were enjoying the sight of how obedient my men were. I followed them towards the office afterwards.
