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

Chapter 205: Chapter 205 - Accepting the offerings and necessary sacrifices

I called out all of the men in my house to the living room for a serious talk with the exception of the two knocked out guys that just came in. I casted a spell to mute all the sounds coming out of the villa since the next things we need to talk about will be very sensitive. The other nine guys looked nervous as if they will be accepting punishments in the next minute or so.

I started the meeting with asking, ”Do you have any questions for me? Please be honest as much as you can.”

For some reason, the first one that asked a question was Vaelion and he said, ”Why haven’t you touched me after I spent my first night with you? Don’t you want me anymore?”

He then looked down as if he was about to cry. That was totally not the first question I was expecting from this meeting but nonetheless, I still answered honestly, ”I still want you that’s why you are still staying in our room. I’m not touching you since I don’t want you to get pregnant while in this territory. Do you want to leave your future child in this territory?”

He looked at me with sudden realization, still with teary eyes and he then shook his head. He must be reacting about leaving his child behind. He then sobbed, ”No... I- I understand. I’m sorry for asking.”

I called him to approach me and he immediately came near me. I pulled his collar down and gave him a kiss on the lips to calm him down. I then made him sit next to me for the remaining time of the meeting.

Just when I thought that the topic was over, Reiss and Therlis created a tag team to put me on the spot regarding the same topic and they even tried to appeal to me by pretending to be disheartened by the situation they were in. Reiss started his question with a little information like, ”You said that you did not touch any of us while we were unconscious. Let’s say that was the full truth but it brings forward a question as to why you didn’t?”

I scoffed and replied, ”I told you I did not touch anybody except for bathing you. As for my reason, what if I tell you that I was simply uninterested or did not want to do it. Would you believe me this time?”

Reiss was too shocked at the bluntness of my answer so Therlis spoke on his behalf this time, ”You could have done it with Reiss at least. He was the first one you gave the offer to anyways and you must have been interested in him one way or another. If you aren’t interested, what’s your plan for the rest of us then? All of us, honestly, wanted to have at least a child of our own. If you do not touch us, that won’t ever happen.”

I laughed a bit while shaking my head then replied, ”I wanted Reiss to work for me in my new territory. I have never intended to take him as a bed slave of any sort. I value him for his profession and possible contribution to my new territory. That’s all there is to it. As for the topic about having children, let’s get to that once we are out of this territory. I don’t mind having a lot of children since I can afford it. I just don’t want them to be kept here and end up similar to those puppets that were delivered earlier.”

My sudden comment pulled their focus back to the two guys recently delivered at my doorstep. I explained to them that they were the ”offerings” given to me by the elders as part of being tagged as the best ”seed bearer” for this batch. I then told them that there would be three more who will arrive one by one until the end of the week.

I looked at the eight guys and told them that most likely, they would also find the other three familiar based on the first two that they immediately recognized and simply because the number of their missing friends matches the number of the total offerings I will receive this week.

For the benefit of everybody, I explained to them the current health condition of the two guys that were brought in. I gave them a shake of my head that signifies that things aren’t looking that good for them.

I further explained that their physiques are worsening and their minds have been nearly destroyed. I told them that my initial scan shows signs of physical abuse and based on how they were unresponsive and acting like soulless puppets, there should be long-term mental abuse as well.

I reported to them that upon close inspection, I also found the presence of a magical object forcefully embedded in their bodies which was making them sick and it was most likely what the elders used to control their every action and thought. I told them that I was allowed to purchase the 5 guys at 500 silver each or at a bargain price of 2 gold if I decide to buy all of them.

As for healing them, I admitted that the only way to do it is for me to have an intimate relationship with them to heal their bodies and minds, extract the foreign magical item carefully and stop any further debilitating effects of whatever ”education” or ”training” they had while they were deemed as missing.

The eight guys looked at each other with sadness and helplessness in their eyes. They were feeling pity towards their friends and regret since they weren’t strong enough to save them before they ended up in this dire situation.

After a few minutes of silence, they suddenly looked at me with newly found strength and conviction. They told me that I should do everything it is that I needed to do to save their friends and get them back to their normal selves. They said that it would be better if they end up belonging to me instead compared to them staying as property with a fancy label of an ”offering” which was nothing more than a job as a high class slave of the elders of this territory.

They returned all the dowry I gave them as well as gave me all the money they have with them and said that they will look for more money to help me in buying all of their friends off of the elders’ hands. These guys are really as close as brothers, willing to shoulder burdens together.

Though I laid my next steps to them as something that was necessary and somewhat like a sacrifice on my part, it wasn’t really that hard of a decision for me. I am just pretending to be pushed to a corner regarding spending my night with those two so as not to appear perverted. I have already seen those guys’ bodies and the orbs have already been extracted too though I had to replace them with healing orbs with similar attributes instead to help their bodies recover no matter how slowly it may be.

Once all the talks, questions and next steps have been answered and discussed, I walked sluggishly towards the honeymoon room where the two offerings are. In the outside, they would think that I only stayed about six hours inside the room. In the inside though, I have long made the time slower at a conversion of 1 hour outside to 8 hours inside the room. It was like spending 24 hours on each guy which if you ask me, was beyond perfect.

They told me that I can do whatever I needed to do to heal these guys and that I will definitely do though through bedroom activities. The people outside couldn’t hear a single thing that was happening inside but I made sure that the observers could hear it loud and clear. The 6 hours was enough to make the guys pass out and for me to extract as much mana and essence as possible from the both of them for my future plans.

Since I touched them, they were immediately marked as vessels. After those six hours, I left the two guys asleep inside the honeymoon room, tucked under soft and thick sheets. As for me, I washed up and slept, hugging Vaelion in our room which totally surprised and confused the guy.

On the next days after that, I did the same thing with the other three offerings that were sent over to my doorstep. The length of time I used to stay in the honeymoon room halved though since I only needed three hours to finish doing what I needed to do for each man anyways.

The third offering that came in was a rather toned and strong looking elf named Maidar. As per his friends, he was a very skilled archer. The fourth offering was a mage named Verrad and the last offering was a very beautiful man who was a bard named Elris. The last guy definitely can compete with Kayden’s looks. I am just not sure if he can compete with Lark’s amazing voice too.

Just as Therlis did for his other friends, he checked on the health condition of the offerings the morning after. He couldn’t help but turn beet-red though since he saw first hand the love marks and bruises on the men’s bodies after spending only a few hours (in their perspective) with me though it was really 24 hours inside the room. He also confirmed the marks of previous physical abuse (scars, burn marks, knife cuts, signs of wounds being sewn up, etc.) on the bodies of the five guys.

After spending a ”few hours” inside the honeymoon room, the guys were moved to the regular bedrooms with bunker beds. The bunch of friends requested if it was possible to remove the divider of the three rooms so that all of them can stay and talk with each other. Well, I honestly do not mind the change in the floor plan of the house so with a wave of my hand, the solid walls disappeared.

It became one incredible huge room with three bathrooms and a total of nine double deck beds. That was a total of 18 beds wherein 13 are already occupied by the childhood friends. I let them do whatever they wanted since I know that they have a lot of catching up to do with how the five went missing for several years.
