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

Chapter 220: Chapter 220 - The stormy days have passed

It took a few days of coaxing before Lark ended his melodramatic period. I still kept on my promise to send him to work and fetch him when his done though he refused to even hold my hand or speak to me during the first few days. This is one of the things that remind me that I was in a different world. Back on earth, it is usually the women who act like this. Now, I have to be the one coaxing moody men!

After two days of coaxing the guy every day, be finally started speaking with me at least. He had a lot of questions and I simply answered as honestly as I possibly can without giving too much information on the things I had to do for my task from Eieneos. There is no benefit in letting him know every single detail anyways.

I don’t know if I would be thankful that he had a tantrum but once we have handled our differences, the bedroom activities just became more intense and amazing one way or another. I guess I was finally able to prove by experience, that make up bedroom sessions are really great at fixing conflicts.

I thought we were okay and all conflicts have been handled but one day, as we finished one of our intense (s)exercise sessions, he suddenly asked a question that was too direct that I don’t know if his goal is just to end up being in a cold war with me again. Our conversation simply started with a question he asked out of the blue as he said, ”We have been in Sklavryet for two months. If you include the 2 more weeks that you need to complete for your workdays, that’s two and a half. Be honest with me. Is there anybody else besides that pregnant guy you brought back to his hometown?”

This question is totally a trap. Putting the sentence, ”Be honest with me.” before the question is totally a bait. Whether I answer this ”honestly” or not, I’m quite sure he’ll go crazy. He knew I had to entertain more men since I need to help in growing rhe population and keeping beings from becoming extinct. Knowing about the plan is different from knowing how it was really being done on my end. Even removing the men I have not touched, the number is still quite high to tell him outright.

He was staring at me intensely as if challenging me to answer the question truthfully or I’ll be in trouble. That’s the problem though! Whether I answer this or not, I will be in trouble. Instead of answering immediately, I stood up from the bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I saw his confused face as he followed me into the bathroom. He tried asking again but I kissed his lips torridly whenever he tried to ask again.

It worked quite well in the shower but once we are back in the room, changing our clothes then cleaning up, the question went up again. I responded cryptically by saying, ”You do know that my goal is to have a lot of children, right? So, why do you have to ask this question when you know the answer will just make you feel bad? Remember your reaction when I brought the Makisig here, pregnant and all, last time? Do you enjoy torturing yourself?”

He looked at me silently for several seconds then sighed. He then spoke, ”There are indeed others, huh? Just give it straight to me. How many are there including that pregnant guy?” I gave a heavy sigh and then answered truthfully, ”There’s nine with others still on the wait list. One is here is Sklavryet, the other seven are in another territory. I gave them a separate place where they could live peacefully in. They weren’t humans, anyways.”

He looked down as if digesting all the information I gave him. He then looked up and asked, ”Makisig isn’t human?” I shook my head in response. He then asked another question, ”Ioannis is pregnant and so is the new guy. Why can’t I or even Kayden or that third husband of yours, get pregnant?” I responded, ”You’ll get pregnant if I deem that your bodies are ready. You don’t want to die giving birth or have a miscarriage, do you?”

He seemed to have been shocked on how I answered his question nonchalantly. It was cold and ruthlessly blunt. It was a reality for most men though. He needs to realize that he is already lucky since I am willing to take care of my men and our future children. Most men had to carry all the burden and risks of a pregnancy on their own. The topic ended at that and he did not ask any further questions.

When I am not at home and I have time in the afternoon during my supposed alchemy part-time job, I still go to Marahuyo to spend time with the people there and also make sure to deliver and take note of everything they need. Since all the guys are already settled and most have already built their homes, I called for a meeting which includes all the people currently living in the sanctuary to explain our plans moving forward. It took about half an hour before everyone could be gathered at the main plaza. The current population is at 130 so I expected this much time was neededà.

Once everybody’s present, the citizens of my little sanctuary naturally grouped themselves per race. It was a normal reaction to such situations where a crowd is asked to meet up. I started the meeting with asking if there are things that they needed but are currently unavailable or other requests or complaints that they might have. I asked each race to choose a representative who will take note of all the things that will be discussed in the meeting as well as future things they will request for so there is documentation and proper reporting.

The next topic were rules in the sanctuary based on suggestions and voting. Though I have already set up some that I will never back down from like no in-fighting or bringing unknown people with possible dubious origins into the sanctuary, I asked how roles or jobs should be delegated and how resources will be allocated. For a community to work, everybody should have their responsibilities. It took a few hours for this to be settled to ensure everybody is assigned with their own jobs.

Yoffir asked carefully as to what are my plans regarding his four students and I answered him bluntly that they have to work for their permanent residency since I did not invite them nor bring them here. He’s my slave but his right to live here does not extend to them. It was petty, sure but I have the right to be petty. I did not even ask for compensation when they damaged my barrier and made me use a high-mana defensive spell. I rolled my eyes and ask for the next topic at hand.

The last topic of the meeting is a bit sensitive but nonetheless important. I casually told them that I know most of the people here followed me since they were hoping to be blessed with children while most just want to be safe and have better living conditions. They all nodded honestly at my statement. I then asked directly, ”Who here are hoping to bear children by following me?” Except for Makisig that is obviously already pregnant, several hands were raised signifying their willingness to be my little vessels.

They knew I was from Eieneos. That much was explained to them by Yoffir. They don’t know though all the abilities of my race regarding fertility and ways to bear children so this conversation was necessary. I dismissed the others who simply want to live in peace and asked those who raised their hands to stay in the plaza. Surprisingly, Yoffir was one of those who raised his hand. He must be desperate to be kept in here. Whatever his reason may be, it is still up to me who I will be taking in as vessels.

Once all the other people have left the plaza, I set up a soundproofing barrier around the main plaza with me and the willing child-bearers inside. Out of the original 35 giants, 52 elves and 38 heralds plus the 2 elves and 2 heralds whom were temporary residents, the ones that were willing to be child bearers are a whopping 60. It consisted on 15 giants, 30 elves and 15 heralds that are willing to try their luck in getting pregnant with my child. This was unexpected on my end since I was only thinking of having children with Makisig’s friends and the 14 guys that I bought initially from Freyheimr. This was more than triple the expected number of willing participants.

They must have thought that I will simply agree to their wishes but I left them an essay homework that they need to submit to me. The questions were simple and few. First, why should I pick them out of all those that are willing to be fathers. Second, their age and how many times they are willing to give birth for me. Lastly, I listed several options on how they can have children with me and they are asked to choose which they prefer the most.

This sudden question has elicited a lot of gasps and confusion in the group. I told them that what they write in their responses will affect if they will be chosen and which method shall be used for them. As for the options to have a child, I separated it into two categories: natural pregnancy and Eienean method of pregnancy.

Natural pregnancy simply meant that we would go through the whole process of intimacy as many times as it was needed and they will either carry the child to term or after the child is formed, use incubation methods so that their bodies would not suffer that much.

For the Eienean method of pregnancy, no intimacy or pregnancy is required on the side of the man. I will just harvest seeds from their bodies and use an external methods to give birth to the child. For both options, the ultimate goal will still to keep both father and child safe and healthy.

I have also honestly told them that either way, once the child is born, I will have the final decision in terms of custody and rearing methods. As a deterrent for those that were simply following the crowd, I told them that once they were chosen whether a pregnancy will happen or not, they will be marked by me and they will only be able to give birth to my children for the rest of their lifetimes. With my last statement, I saw some second thoughts on some of the previously willing participants.
