Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!
Chapter 124 - 124 - Checking on Mr. Tangerine

The magic tower grandmaster which from now on, I have decided to call "Grandpa Mage", stood up and guided me back to the magic elevator. We went down for about 3 floors real quickly and once we alighted it, I saw a huge wooden door that have a beautiful black finish.

Grandpa Mage knocked on the door for about five minutes but nobody answered. He then shook his head and then he started incantations to probably open the door. The door emitted some smoke for some reason and then it opened on its own after a while.

When the door finally opened, what hit me was an intense sweet scent of ripe tangerines. He's really here but why wasn't he answering to the knock at his door? Was he too weak to even stand or walk just a little bit to open the door for his own grandfather?

As we walked further in, his grandfather suddenly stopped walking and looked back at me. He then said, "I can't go any further. The elemental attribute of my mana is not the same as his. His mana heart may see it as an attack which will cause another mana outburst and a new bout of suffering and pain. Since you are his resonant, you're the only one that can calm him down. You can take this task as equal to two 5-star tasks for this month. I beg for your help, Luna."

This is the first time I heard him say my name and it is really hard to say no to a sincere request from the elderly. I nodded at him once and continued walking into Keeran's room. As for Grandpa Mage, he decided to walk out of the room and just wait for me near the door of the magic elevator.

I walked quietly into the room. The further I walk in the more sickenly sweet his scent was. Are they sure that this is just the side effect of resonance? Why does it feel more like resonance rejection, a heat cycle and being under the influence of an aphrodisiac all at the same time?

When I got to the side of the bed, I saw Keeran's disheveled appearance. He was sweating profusely while moaning and grunting. His breaths were heavy and his clothes have some tears here and there which seems to be caused by him pulling at his clothes due to discomfort and pain.

I shouted to the outside of the door towards Grandpa Mage, "Grandpa! How long has he been like this?"

It took some time for him to answer for some reason so I had to call on him again. On my third call, he finally answered, "I heard you the first time. You can just call me grandpa from now on. He has been like that for about 4 days. This is the second time. He had a week of this last month too."

Oh! He did not answer immediately since he was shocked when I called him grandpa out of the blue. As for this guy, does this mean that this will be a monthly thing like a woman's menstrual cycle? Does this mean he's going to be like this for the rest of his life if I don't accept him? Would this even stop if I do?

This is the first time I've seen such a person experiencing something similar to a resonance rejection. Well, I don't remember rejecting him though. As for my husbands, I have never failed to visit them. I would at least visit Kayden twice a month.

I looked around the room and it looks like a gang of people fought inside it then crashed all the stuff. Was he in so much pain that he had to grasp at anything to get through it?

I immediately used my mana to tidy up the room. As my mana spread throughout the room, Keeran's features eased up a bit and his breathing evened out too. He stopped clutching at his clothes and moaning in pain. The effects are instant! All that was just resonance rejection?

I leaned and picked Keeran up from the bed and carried him to the bathroom. I have seen almost everything anyways since he liked posing almost nude for art's sake. The only part I haven't seen was his behind and his front treasures.

I stripped him carefully and I saw his skin full of scratch marks and bruises. I honestly felt a bit of pity when I saw him a while ago and even more after I stripped him. Ugh. My frail heart is giving in again. I have to keep my distance!

I shouted to the outside of the room again, "Grandpa! Help me give this guy a bath, please!"

The old man simply answered, "I can't touch him or go near him for now. The one week period isn't over yet. I don't want to make him suffer even more than this."

I sighed and loudly answered, "I'll help myself with him then!" The old man laughed outside the door and said, "He's all yours! I am going to have so much fun telling him about this in the future."

I removed Keeran's clothing and gave him a bath. He reeks of sweat due to squirming about for four days through all the pain. I scrubbed his whole body clean and made sure he's wearing comfortable clothes afterwards. I also casted a healing spell to get rid of all the scratches and bruises.

I placed the necklace with my mana orb around his neck. For good measure, I placed the temporary birth control seal on top of his womb to reverse the rejection for now since it was similar to me marking him. Hopefully, this will shorten his suffering this month. Once I've tidied up the whole room and tucked him in bed then I went out quietly.

As I exited the door, I saw grandpa mage still waiting for me outside. He smiled at me and said, "I felt how you immediately curbed his mana outburst. You didn't have to bathe him or clean up his mess though."

I shook my head and replied, "Since I already came, it would be best to finish the job. I bathed him, clothed him, healed his scratches and bruises and placed a mana orb necklace around his neck. The one I gave you grandpa, just use it so you can come near him when his mana goes haywire again."

He nodded and thanked me profusely. He also said he would create the proposal about his grandson as soon as possible and send it through the ring. I simply smiled though I wanted to tell him to take his time or maybe just forget about it so I don't have to consider the pesky stalker at all.

We entered the magic elevator again. He went back to his office after a short goodbye, I went straight to the bottom most floor. I quickly left the magic tower afterwards. I still have to pick up my husband at the academe.

Keeran's POV

When will this pain end? If it was just physical pain, I would have just taken medicine or I would just shake it off but the one I am feeling right now comes from my core like I am being burned from the inside.

When the burning starts, I black out. My senses are awake though and I feel like I'm stuck in an endless nightmare and even if I want to wake up, I just couldn't. This is the second time it happened but I don't think I will ever get used to it. Am I going to be like this for the rest of my life?

As for the woman that I resonated with, she does not know anything about me nor do I think she will ever be interested to know me anyways. If I was narrow-minded, I would have blamed her but is it her fault that she did not like me. I would rather blame myself for not being good enough to catch her interest.

While I was wallowing in self-pity and enduring the pain, for some reason the fire started to die down. I felt my body being lifted off the bed. Is somebody carrying me but to where? I then felt somebody starting to remove my clothes! Damn! Who is it?

I wanted to move but my body is unconscious. My mind is super awake though so I know somebody is taking advantage of me. Did I just hear flowing water? Is someone's going to give me a bath? Who is it? Is it my grandfather? No, it's impossible. Nobody can approach me when I'm like this. Who can it be?

As I was pondering I heard a female shout. She clearly asked for help from my grandpa to bathe me. My grandfather declined and he even said that she can do anything she wants with me. Such a great grandfather I have!

I heard the woman laugh a little and continue stripping me. I couldn't help but start to shiver and I am sure she felt it. I then felt a warm breath touch the right part of my neck followed by a soft whisper.

Her voice was soft and tickled the depths of my soul. She said, "Nice to officially meet you, Keeran. I know you can hear me right now. I'm Luna, the one you were stalking. You even casted a spell to stick to me, right? I was surprised that you were hit by resonance rejection. I can't say I'm sorry about it though. Your grandfather asked for my help to get you through this time so just bear with me touching you today."

I then felt her lips touch my neck for a brief moment. It was feather-light as if it was just an illusion but it was enough to ignite the fire inside my body again. I then felt her hand touch the skin on top of my womb and the heat spread inside my body even more rapidly. The fire didn't start from my heart this time. It's from my womb!
