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

Chapter 53: Chapter 53 - My first day as an official princess

When I woke up, I was kind of disoriented. I stared forward for several seconds and had several questions running in my head, ”Where am I? Whose bed is this? When did I fall asleep? What time is it? What day is it?”

Lia as my ever reliable aid patiently answered my questions, ”Good morning, your royal highness, Princess Luna. You are in Eieneos. You are on the bed inside the master’s bedroom of the palace. You have been asleep for 10.5 hours but don’t worry since the time difference between here and the human realm is huge, in Athanoviya, it is still the same as the day you left. It isn’t even night time yet in there.”

Oh. Yeah. One day there, is seven days here. I have less than 2 weeks to fix what I can fix before the classes in the academe starts.

I then just realized how Lia started with her updates. Did she just say royal highness? Ohh... Being called a princess doesn’t sound so bad at all. Well, a royal is a busy person so here I am chanting in my head, ”A new day, a new list of tasks to accomplish”. Ugh. When will I have personal attendants like a proper royal?

Old habits die hard. I have already been used to Ioannis and Kayden serving me with everything I need like the doting husbands they were but here, I am all alone in here! I could wake up one of those... Nope. Never mind. It’s too early for that. Their mana donations are enough for now. I can do this on my own! I smacked both my cheeks with my palms to wake myself up. First things first, FOOD!

I hurriedly sat up then went to the bathroom to take a shower while thinking on what I would cook and eat for my first meal of the day. I dressed up comfortably since there’s no one here but me. When I say comfortable,that’s a loose shirt that reaches the middle of my thighs, no bra and only panties. Freedom!

I went to the kitchen hopping happily to fix up my meal. Let’s have bacon, eggs and toast today. While I’m eating, I called on my kingdom-building interface to start my work day. The mana donation bars are all full! I decided to fix up the smaller plaza first since the teleportation portal was there.

After making a few clicks, a progression bar appeared on top of the pin of the small plaza in my cute map screen. Once this bar appeared, the mana donation bars decreased dramatically. Then they started to trickle up again percent by percent and just at the same time I felt my mana being sucked out of me but in miniscule amounts, quite unnoticeable unless you really focused on it. As for the four other donors, I wonder if they are still okay?

After having my fill, I walked at a leisurely pace towards the room where my four sleeping beauties are. I looked into each dome to see if their appearances would show any hints of any discomfort or pain from their mana being sucked out continuously since last night. I did play with them a bit so I’m not sure if that took a toll on their bodies too. Fortunately, they still look like their ethereal and blemish-free selves.

Honestly, I know it was kind of heartless for me to do it without their permission but does this world think I would support two realms with my mana alone? I may be able to do that in a few years time but right now, I don’t want to look like a raisin. I think these people are more powerful than me before they were put to sleep so they should do just fine, right?

There’s a thing called mana regeneration anyway and the orbs stop absorbing when it reaches 100% capacity so they should be fine, right? Right? Damn. I don’t know. I am just making excuses for my ideas. I did have my mana inside their bodies and it is not warning me about any health issues for now so let’s just hope for the best.

I went back to my newest favorite which is my kingdom-building screen and tried to fix the palace as well. I was just checking to see if I could work on two things at once and then it was placed on queue. I tried to add the main plaza and then the roads that go into the 4 directions and it still added it to the queue just fine. This means I can schedule things continuously so it would work on stuff even when I’m sleeping, doing something else or even when I am in the academe. This setup is really useful.

After I have set up a few more things on the queue for rebuilding like the palace gardens, the gazebo, the gardens around the small plaza and I even put each plot of land between the main roads which I divided like a pie with 4 quarters as part of the rebuilding process. Each quarter will be one area to work on. Oh! I was enjoying too much and only noticed that there was already a queue of 15 items to repair after the small plaza. I am turning my cute map into a mini-me whose workaholic. I giggled at the thought.

I decided too look more into the World Tree. I conjured the world tree seed and did a closer look at it. It was gold and was glowing continuously like a limitless source of light.

I then asked Lia more about the seed, ”Lia, do I have to germinate this seed before planting it in the new realm or are there any other special rituals I need to prepare or spells I need to cast to make sure it lives well? I am kind of nervous since we only have one seed and I don’t want to mess it up. The book does not say anything about that.”

Lia then responded almost instantly, ”Put a drop of your blood on the seed so it would bind itself to you. The world tree seed is a living entity. It can speak to you telepathically so you would know how its doing at any given time.”

I could not hide the irritation on my face and then murmured, ”Blood again.” Instead of dwelling on my source of irritations, I changed the topic and asked, ”Do you happen to know if the world tree entity is talkative?”

Lia did not answer for a while then for the first time she sounded unsure, ”Um. I really don’t know since I don’t remember talking to it that much during my time. It does answer me when I ask questions but it was only a word or two. Sometimes, it does not respond at all. Maybe it became talkative throughtout the years I wasn’t around?” I then just nodded as my way of accepting her response. I hope it is not noisy and irritating.

It then brings me to another problem that I want to resolve as soon as possible. The thing about my blood being used to verify everything. So on this day, I asked myself, ”Should I just bleed myself a lot now and then put them in small orbs for future use so I don’t have to wound my fingers every single time?” It was a split second decision. Yeah. Let’s do that.

I suddenly used a dagger I conjured to cut my palm. Ouch! Damn! The wound is too big but it is too late to backout! I cast a spell to numb the pain then I conjured a small basin to save all the blood I’m going to squeeze out and almost immediately I started casting another magic spell to separate them into droplets then I enclosed them in tiny transparent orbs similar to the ones that my sleeping husbands have above their heads. I am totally not panicking with the amount of blood I’m losing... Aaaahhhh!

After about five minutes of letting my hand bleed freely, I cast a basic heal spell on my palm and the wound closed up real quick. This should be enough for future use.

There’s readily more than a hundred tiny blood orbs in total in front of me right now. I think I overdid it. I already feel my body’s regeneration kicking in like it was in panic mode due to the amount of blood I suddenly lost within just a few minutes. I sat on the sofa for now to rest till I’m good to move since I am honestly a bit dizzy right now.

After about 15 minutes of rest, I started moving again feeling refreshed. Since there is nothing much to do but donate my mana, I spent my remaining days reading all the books I got, eating and just practically being a pretty potato. Of course, even when I become a potato, I’ll still be pretty. I giggled at my thoughts again.

By the fifth day of my stay in Eieneos, the portal has been fully restored as well as the main plaza. The palace seems to need more mana to rebuild itself so it is still in progress. The other smaller projects have been completed like the main roads, the gardens and the main plaza. I decided to come out of the palace for the first time in several days. I went to the teleportation circle to inject some of my mana in to it. I hope I succeed in creating a new realm on my first try.
