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

Chapter 214: Chapter 214 - Next plans for Eieneos

After leaving Nische’s inner world, the three of us, Lia, Aelorus and me, reappeared at the small plaza near the palace gardens. While we were walking back to the palace grounds, I asked Lia a question and her answer is what will dictate my next course of action from now on, ”Which of those four houses took care of land and living space issues in this kingdom before or someone who takes care of agriculture stuff at least?”

Lia paused for a bit and looked down in deep thought, seemingly trying to remember the tasks assigned for each noble house during her time. After a few moments, she looked up with a bright face and said, ”If you are thinking about the palace gardens and planning how the land will be used, it should house Yehia. If my guess is right, if that guy wakes up, his part of the kingdom should be full of the lands for farming, mountains that are rich in resources, forests that support animal life, caves for mining, etc. Everything about Earth and Wind attributal mana is that house’s forte.”

I nodded at her answer but kept my decision in secret for now. We resumed walking but instead of going to my room, I continued walking up the stairs until I reached the top most floor where the four sleeping beauties were staying. I went in the room and hovered on the glass-domed bed that has ”Yehia” engraved on it. It was the muscular guy with brown wavy hair and tanned skin. He was the one with the longest and lushest lashes and has middle eastern features if you compare him to the men back in my previous world.

I asked Lia and Aelorus to leave me alone for now and they immediately exited the room as ordered. I needed the space and the silence to think about my next move and if I will move it forward to today. Is it the time to wake one of these guys up? I can no longer take care of all my properties at the same time. Someone has to manage Eieneos and the world tree realm. I have to delegate the other places too if I want to live a slow and chill life eventually.

I walked around the guy from the Yehia house while I was thinking about the tasks ahead of me. If I remember it right, he was the youngest out of these four (only 19 when he was sealed here), the only chilld of his parents and his name was Samir.

I then walked towards the huge wooden plank above his head. I then talked to him as if he was awake and could respond, ”Samir, I know you can hear me. I need your help to manage Eieneos and start the agricultural part of things to ensure that the future inhabitants of this kingdom and the new world tree realm would have enough food to eat. I also would like to ask a favor for you to take care of my herbs, my flower gardens and the world tree while I’m away. Lia will take care of other things you need so you can fulfill your duties. She will also update you of things that happened after you were put to sleep. I know you will need some time to adjust in living here so I won’t disturb you. I will be back in a few weeks to check on the world tree realm again and this kingdom. I will also introduce you to somebody by that time.” I saw his eyelashes flutter and his breaths sounded quicker as if he was starting to get nervous.

It was weird to ask someone of deity descent to work as my personal farmer and gardener but honestly, that was the only task available as of now and as Lia said, he was the best person for the job. In exchange, he can live in this palace, pick any room he wants and use all the resources he needs to do his job well. I won’t ask for anything else from him besides those things. We can at least be civil and work together to rebuild this place. As for personal relationship, we can just talk about that in the future.

I went ahead and conjured a blood orb from my storage space and dropped it on the indentation that was meant for me. I have no choice on the matter since binding them to me is the only way my parents gave me to wake these guys up. As the plank absorbed my blood, the bed which was made of wood, turned black and the area where the receptacles for blood shined brightly before turned into dust.

As the bright light dimmed down, I saw Samir’s fingers started to move a bit and then his eyelids twitched. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes slowly and then I saw the most beautiful hazel-colored eyes in my life. He was currently looking blankly towards the ceiling seemingly still not fully awake just yet. I hope hasn’t gone stupid for sleeping for more than four centuries.

I called on to Lia whom I knew was just standing outside the door and never left me for too long. She immediately entered the room when she heard me call her. As she entered, she saw Samir awake and she couldn’t hide her surprised reaction. I felt a gaze from my side and I know that the guy was staring at my direction. I decided to ignore it since I am pressed for time. I continued giving instructions to Lia about Samir’s living arrangements then left the room without looking back.

After leaving the room, I went down to my own bedroom and took a shower. Since the time here is way slower than that of the outside, I can take my time to relax and rest here before going back to Sklavryet. After the shower, I laid on my bed and did not even notice when I have fallen asleep.

Samir’s POV

Inside the world I was sealed in, it was eternal darkness and solitude as usual. From the time that mysterious person gave me mystique mana and touched me inappropriately, not once did it happen again. I should have been glad about that but somewhere in my core, I felt a certain disappointment or maybe even loss.

I was lying on my back again in this boundless space staring at nothing, contemplating on what I would do first if ever I get to wake up someday. All of a sudden, I felt a familiar mana signature approach my physical body. It’s that mischievious person again! What is she planning right now?

When I thought she was going to touch me again, she stopped approaching. There was complete silence for a few minutes. It seems like she doesn’t have any plans to touch me anymore and must have lost interest since my physical body was unresponsive anyways. I was about to resume my daydreaming when I heard her speak. Her voice was soft and was like music to my ears. The more she spoke, the more I felt like my soul was healing up.

She started to list things that she wanted me to do which has something to do with farming, gardening and taking care of the world tree. That much, I am confident to do since I have been trained to do those things by my parents as part of our house’s responsibilities. Why is she telling me to do these tasks so suddenly? Wait. Is she planning to...?

Before I was able to complete the question in my head, I felt a strong pull trying to extract my soul from this sealed world. Damn. It was painful and it felt like I’m being torn to pieces. It hurt so much that though I thought it was impossible to happen when one is in a soul state, I passed out. When I woke up, I was staring at a beautifully painted ceiling through a bed enclosed by clear glass. Why did the sky suddenly change? Why does my body feel so heavy?

I was still out of it when I heard that familiar voice that called on to me from that boundless place but this time, she called someone else’s name. I couldn’t hear much of the things she and the other person were talking about so I used what little strength I have to look sideways to where her voice came from. There, I saw the most beautiful woman I ever encountered in my life. I was stunned, my breath hitched and my heartbeats quickened.

I wanted to call her name but remembered she never told me about it. I wanted to get her attention. I wanted her to look at me but she seemed too busy talking to that ”Lia”. After a while more, she stopped talking and it seems like their conversation is done. Before I could call her attention, she walked away from me without even bothering to give me a glance. I felt a pain shot through my heart and it felt like I was rejected then abandoned. If she would ignore me like this, why did she even bother waking me up?
