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

Chapter 125: Chapter 125 - Going back to Eieneos

After getting out of the tower, I immediately walked back to the academe. I feel that it is better to hurry than walk around leisurely for the time being. I don’t want to be stalked or ambushed by groups of people who want to talk to me again. I have to be somewhere else and I don’t have time to hear what they want to say.

As I was nearing the gate of the academe, a freaking carriage cut off my path! You’ve got to be kidding me! This is Aurum’s carriage, isn’t it?

His information gathering is really impressive. He must have already found out about the guy from Ceres, this possessive freak. I stopped walking and immediately did a silent cast to teleport back into the headmaster’s office.

I re-appeared in one corner of the headmaster’s office. I greeted the surprised old man and went out of his office like it was a normal event. I then went straight to my dorm room.

Once I opened the door, I saw Ioannis’ back. He seemed to have prepped up and he is currently busy packing a huge luggage. I looked around the room and found two more that are already packed. Isn’t he too excited for this trip?

I approached him from behind for a tight hug. He immediately held my arms and leaned his head sideways and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I whispered to him, ”There are a ton of things we have to talk about but let’s do that once we are in Eieneos, okay? You must have prepared a lot of things seeing all these luggages, right?”

He rolled his eyes at me and replied, ”You said the time equivalent was 1 day is to one week. With the remaining days we have, our stay will be for about a month.”

I giggled and said, ”There’s only the two of us there. We can use cleaning magic and it’s not like you need to wear clothes all the time.” He looked at me with widened eyes then he gradually turned red as a tomato. I laughed out loud at his reaction.

Once we have put his luggage inside his storage earring’s space, we walked out of the dorm room. Just as we opened the door, I saw Arthur waiting outside the door. I nodded at him and left instructions of setting up the villa. I insisted that it should be done by the time we come back from our trip which would in about four days time. He bowed and accepted my instructions.

As for me and Ioannis, we went back to the grandmaster’s office. I at least knocked this time to not scare the old man. Once he gave his permission, we went inside the door and I smiled at him sweetly. We went to my usual corner and started chanting the teleportation spell inside my head.

At the point where there were only 30 seconds left before the teleportation completes, the grandmaster spoke, ”We have a few individuals that requested a special privilege to enroll for the upcoming semester. It was the 8th prince and his four aides. They requested to be assigned under your care for some reason. Do you know him?”

I clicked my tongue. That man doesn’t really let go of grudges. This is tantamount to letting the whole empire know that he is pursuing me. I left a short response to the headmaster which is a simple, ”Yes. He can live in the villa.”

I looked at Ioannis and sighed. He looked at me with furrowed brows. We now have another topic to discuss.

As the teleportation completes, I felt a strong pull and everything around me and Ioannis changed. Once we arrived at our destination, I felt Ioannis suddenly slipping down to the ground. When I looked at him, his eyes were closed, his brows were furrowed as if he was in pain and he was panting fast.

His body must have gone into shock with the dense amount of mana and the effects of his first long-distance teleportation. I hurriedly carried him and teleported to my room in the palace.

I placed a barrier around the room to control the amount of mana in the area. I have to gradually increase it until his body gets used to it. It seems that it may take a while before he adapts and regains his consciousness.

Since, I have a lot of time but nothing to do, I decided to get updates from Lia. I left her here in Eieneos to manage everything since Nische is also not around and the rest are in a coma too.

I went out of my room and went to the top most floor of the palace where the four sleeping men were. I observed them one by one with my eyes and also used my mana to check their overall health. So far, they seem to be doing well even though they have been helping me non-stop in rebuilding the central part of Eieneos via contributing their mana.

The main city is currently 80% rebuilt and would have definitely looked like a bustling city if only there were people in it. Sometimes, the silence here is deafening but I can’t do anything about me starting from almost nothing.

I have marked some souls enveloped by light through my trips around the city of Hoffen and in Ceres so far. I think that I badly need to start going to other places to look for the others.

For the first time in a while, I talked to my assigned guardian again. I called for her in my mind, ”Lia, it has been a long time. How is Nische? How is everything here in Eieneos?”

After a few seconds, the characteristic stern voice I missed a lot came in, ”Nische can be considered well. He is still dormant inside the world tree’s body. Everyone else has been sleeping as usual. There were no bad effects to their health though we have been siphoning their mana everyday to rebuild the city. The city is currently 85% built as we speak and it just needs a few more touches that requires your final decisions.”

I can’t help but smile then replied, ”I missed talking to you and the little guy. Oh yeah! Can you start monitoring the guy in my room as well? He’s someone I converted to our side. Once he’s settled, I’ll have him help in the rebuilding efforts as well.”

Lia became quiet for a bit and I did not say anything as well and continued going around the palace grounds and gardens inhaling the invigorating scent of the flowers and herbs.

After a few minutes, Lia spoke again, ”You found a good quality vessel for offspring. His body is adapting in a very rapid rate. He may stay unconscious for several hours to about a day since his body shut down to adapt to the high density mystique mana and the long-distance teleportation. He had some internal injuries but I saw that you have fixed them already.”

I raised one of my eyebrows and said, ”Can’t you just call him as my ”husband” and not a vessel? I get it that he’ll give birth to children for me but that is not all that he is for me. You can call others with that word but not the husbands I chose for myself. Call the other four as vessels as much as you like. Hmpf.”

Lia immediately replied, ”Sorry if that offended you. It was just the term we use from earlier times. I did not know the meaning has changed to that of a negative connotation at present time.” I shook my head and simply dismissed the issue as a misunderstanding due to a huge generation gap.

I continued walking and arrived at the small teleportation circle that leads to the World Tree realm. I really want to see Nische. I want to re-energize myself by hugging my personal tree. I infused mana on the teleportation circle and closed my eyes.

When I opened them after a few seconds, I am again in the middle of the beautiful sea of flowers with rays of warm sunshine. I made my run to my favorite tree in this lifetime. My first reaction was ”He’s grown quite a bit!” My arms are no longer enough to envelop his thick trunk with a hug. At least he now looks sturdier and healthier compared to the frail and sickly situation he was in during my last visit.

I hugged the tree and sent my consciousness inside it. My soul state reached the sleeping Nische who now isn’t the young teen I saw before. He is now a grown man of at least 20 years of age by the current standards. He has grown some flesh and muscle here and there. His complexion is no longer sickly and he’s not skin and bones anymore which made me happy. It would have been better if he’s awake but I am not complaining about the evident progress in his recovery.

I touched his forehead and then caressed his dark-green locks. I leaned in closer and whispered into his ear, ”I’ll take back your things from them but promise to wake up soon for me okay?” I leaned back and watched his sleeping face. On that face, I saw a slight smile. I hope he’s having sweet dreams.

After about half an hour of staying near Nische and recharging, I teleported out of the world tree realm and went back to the palace. All I can do is sigh since I am the only one awake in this place. I feel so bored. I might as well start checking my inventory spaces for any documents to review, experiments to do or questions to answer. Honestly, I really feel very uncomfortable when my hands are idle.
