Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!
Chapter 107 - 107 - The pros and cons of taking in a pet

The next morning, I got a little surprised when I saw another person in the room cleaning the floor and walls. My mind was a bit dazed so it took some time for me to remember that I just got a new attendant yesterday. Honestly, this is the first time I had an attendant whose sole purposes is to follow any whim or order I had and is one that is with me 24/7. Ioannis was different from day one. He was my lover even before he became my attendant. For one, Arthur was diligent and definitely well-trained for his job. He wakes up earlier than us and he cleans the room and makes sure the laundry is taken care of on time. He makes sure to walk a little behind me and carries all the things I need for my classes. He doesn't look at me eye to eye and he also makes sure that he doesn't do anything he was not asked to do. He seems to have also gotten used to the silence since we rarely ask him any questions that he needed to respond to.

For someone who wants to teach someone a lesson, I am still quite nice you see. I still let him have a long bath, made sure that he had clean clothes, a comfortable place to sleep on as well as enough food and sleep. I gave him a cute collar he can wear on his neck too. Oh, scratch the one about giving him enough sleep since Ioannis and I are quite active at night. He may not be able to open his eyes due to the spell I casted on him but with all the things happening he should still be able to feel and hear everything so I doubt that he can sleep well during those nights. I do give him a lot of errands to do during the day too so he can earn a lot of points but the rest are just parts of his job. He's earning points by following me around and being obedient so we're still in a mutually beneficial relationship. I did not allow him to take miscellaneous tasks from the academe though in case he turns back to being a blabbermouth again. He's missing chances to earn more points but I don't plan to take risks on my end just for that thought.

He is quite useful in general as he has completed a lot of tasks for me including the confirmation of the festivities scheduled in other territories in the next few months, getting information from the student affairs office on new classes offered for the next semester and other changes or events that may be announced in the academe in the near future. I even rewarded him by allowing him to take two classes that he is interested in which he clearly loved and was thankful for.

He seems to be doing alright for the past few weeks until he went down with a really high fever which must be due to overfatigue. As the master of the said sickly attendant, I had to bring him to the infirmary to get him thouroughly checked and make sure he had the right medicine to get better as soon as possible. I guess I somewhat forgot that he was human since Ioannis and I are technically a bit different from others at this point in time. It is really a hassle to have a human body in an era where medical technology isn't that advanced yet.

As for Ioannis though he looked a bit hesitant to leave the two of us alone, he had to leave us with our own tasks while he takes his own classes as scheduled. As for me, I had to ask my teachers to be excused due to the sickly guy. I can't get reprimanded for neglecting him while he's sick so I don't have any choice on this matter. I brought him to the infirmary and asked the academe physician to take care of him and let him know that once he's healed, he can go back to the attendant's hall and stay there until he is fully recovered. I also left a note with the same message as proof that it was I who gave the order.

It took about 3 days for him to get better and when he was about to leave the clinic, the academe physician gave him the note I left. After he read the note though, instead of my expected reaction that he would gladly accept it and he will be happy about it, I found him kneeling in front of the door of my dorm room, waiting for me to come back. When I saw him, I simply told him that he no longer needs to attend to me since I can just pick somebody else and he can just concentrate on nursing his health back. He stayed kneeling but he was still not speaking. He's still adhering to not speaking unless he's asked. His stubbornness is commendable. I rolled my eyes at his display of obedience and disobedience at the same time and I simply picked him up like a sack of potatoes on my shoulder and brought him inside the room. I slammed the door shut and threw him lightly onto the bed. I then asked him, "Tell me exactly what you want to happen here. What are you expecting from me?"

Throughout my swift set of movements from picking him up, bringing him in to the room and throwing him towards the bed, he was just stunned and speechless. His eyes were wide staring at the ceiling in the same position he landed on the bed a while ago. When the question I asked sunk into his mind, he immediately got up and then resumed his kneeling position on top of the bed. He then cautiously said, "I am feeling better now. I don't need to go back to the attendant's hall to recover. I can serve you again just like before so please don't return me! I have been doing well with my tasks for the past month, right?"

I stared at him for a few seconds then answered, "You must have forgotten the reason why I picked you? I never liked you. I just want you to see first hand how the life of your favorite topics to make rumors about really goes. You get better and more credible material for your rumors this way. I have already enjoyed playing with you so it's time to return you to the hall. I can just pick another attendant and I'm sure he's trained to do the jobs that you have been doing for me as well."

He stared at me with wide and reddening eyes. I am quite sure where this is going. He's going to use the face card and the crying card together on me. He's going for a combo right off the bat! He then responded to me as if he was hurt deeply, "I have been obedient and I did everything you've asked of me to the best of my abilities. I never complained and I was never rude to the both of you. Have you not forgiven me yet? Didn't you learn to like me as a person even for just a little bit?"

Why do I feel like this person enjoy's lines like those from TV dramas I used to watch back in earth. It was like this too when I listened to his dialogue with Ioannis a few weeks back. I couldn't help but click my tongue and roll my eyes in exasperation. I then responded, "If we haven't forgiven you, we would have tortured you mentally, let you sleep on the cold floor and made sure you suffer without food, clothing or proper hygiene. We could also hurt you physically. The manager of the attendant's hall told me that it was fine as long as I don't kill you or leave you on a near death state."

He looked at me in surprise and then he really started crying with that beautiful face of his. Ugh! He's such a melodramatic jerk! I pulled out all of his clothes and personal items from the dresser and placed it in those two bags he brought with him when he first came to my dorm. I was packing it up in a hurry when Arthur suddenly hugged me from behind. It was alright if it was just a hug, that's harmless and I can just take a shower to scrub myself clean but damn, he's butt-naked when he hugged me!

I straightened my back and stopped packing his clothes. I loosened his arms around my waist and then flipped him towards the bed again. I looked at him with an emotionless face and ordered, "Stay right there and behave. Don't move unless I ordered you too." Because of the order, he could not move from the position I flipped him into. Tears are still flowing from his eyes as if I bullied him. Damn! With how he looks like now, it would even look like I molested him. He's the one who's hugging people while he's naked! When I finally finished packing up all his things, I looked at him again and he seemed to have stopped crying. He was staring blankly on to the wall as if his soul left him. I asked him, "Why do you look like someone stole everything from you?" He looked at me and started crying again, "What can I do for you to keep me here? I will do anything you want."

I looked at him and laughed a bit. Where does this desperation to stay here even come from? How should I deal with this? After thinking for a while, I responded, "If you want to go with me so bad, you have to work hard and earn points to free yourself from the slavery contract you have with the academe. I will be graduating from here in less than 2 years and I'm bringing Ioannis out with me. If you could free yourself by then, follow me out and I might consider making you my boy toy." It was a challenge that I thought would be hard to achieve. It was also meant as a taunt on his desperation and an insult to his pride which I know he has a ton of but who would have thought that he'll accept it! He answered with confidence that I do not know where he got, "I will follow you out by the time you graduate. I will make you accept me as your obedient boy toy by then." I look at him in surprise as he was saying the term "boy toy" as if it wasn't an insult. Are men this easily satisfied in this world?

I laughed hard at his confident proclamation but by the time I graduated from the academe, I wouldn't be able to laugh about this. This event is going to be one of the challenges I would regret giving to someone in the near future.
