Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!
Chapter 127 - 127 - Ioannis meets the mystique husbands

After we have discussed and came to an agreement with the circumstances I was in and the two favors he asked for, I kissed him hard on the lips until we were both breathless. Once our lips parted, he suddenly asked me another question, "How do you know the eigth prince?" I stiffened at the question. How can I forget this part. I inhaled deeply and sighed. I have to come clean once and for all. Though I once gave him a report about the day I spent outside the academe and the places I visited, I never went into details about the men I have met outside and I mean, I met a whole lot of them. I also did not talk about in detail about the people I met during the week I left the academe before the first semester started. This is going to be a long discussion.

I started my story at the time I came out of the academe after I officially took Ioannis as my husband. He knew the story of how I saved Kayden but I forgot to tell him that it wasn't our first meeting at that time. I only talked about finding him in the middle of the forest and how I saved him from being raped. With that, I had to confess about my visit to the entertainment district and how I met other men that same night. I told him that because of a miscalculation on my part, I have a very strong inkling that the men I met that night will come knocking at my door one by one in the near future. I don't want us to receive surprises that will end up in us fighting and it would be best that Ioannis knows of all these possibilities.

When I started the story and mentioned that I spent my first night outside by visiting the entertainment district, Ioannis' face inmediately darkened and his eyes were looking at me like I cheated on him. I looked at him innocently and just went with my story ignoring the glares I was receiving. I opened up about my curiosity about the place so I decided to watch the shows of the most talented entertainers, trying the food and drink, buying souvenirs and trying the best massage services after I asked around which places are the best from the regulars in the area. I told him that the first one I watched that night was Kayden and that he showcased his talent on playing different musical instruments. I then enumerated the other men I watched such as Lark who has an amazing singing voice, Caius who was an excellent sword dancer, Keeran who was a multidisciplinary artist and lastly, Aurum who was the most requested and highest paid masseur. I assured him that I did not touch any of them in any way and only watched from afar. As for the masseur, he was the one who gave the services and not me.

He did not react for a while. After a few seconds, he seemed to have a realization and then looked at me intensely, "You paid to get massage services?" I furrowed my brows and nodded. He put his right hand on the nape of his neck in distress and said, "Aurum was his name, right? You let that prince see you naked?" I immediately responded, "He was blind at that time and I did not know he was a prince. I just found out afterwards." He then asked again, "Did you let him touch you?" I then answered, "Yes." Of course, that was a massage. He murmured, "He's never going to let go of you once he had just a slight touch." I did not quite hear what he said but just as I was going to ask him to repeat it, he sighed and suddenly changed the topic with another question and asked, "Are you saying that you saw that all of them have a resonance of above 80% with you?" I simply nodded. He then scoffed and said, "They will definitely look for you. A resonance of above 60% is already as rare as you can get and if it reaches above 80% it is already considered a perfect score. An 80% resonance equals to a 100% chance of pregnancy." My eyes widened at this new fact. I did not know that since it was never discussed in any of my academe classes. He then continued, "If your mission is to have as many children as possible, look for those that have above 80% resonance. Since you have a way to accurately see it, this ability will make your task easier." I looked at him and said, "Are you actually telling me to handpick men that are easy to knock up and just get over with it?" He then looked at me and said, "You told me it was your mission. You can't expect me to give birth to a hundred children for you, right? I am not a baby factory. I refuse to be one!" I laughed out loud and asked teasingly, "So how many times will you give birth for me? Your resonance with me is at 100 just so you know." His eyes widened in disbelief and then he blushed but still answered, "I can give birth once every 2-3 years as long as my body can take it." I continued to look at him teasingly and said, "You're a mystique now. You can even be pregnant every single year if you want to and still be perfectly healthy." He slapped my arm and said, "I want to help you out on your businesses and missions. I can't do that if I have to take care of a newborn all the time!" I laughed and said, "We can hire nannies and even the men in the same harem take care of each other's kids anyways." With gritted teeth, he reiterated, "Once. Every. Two. Years." I giggled since he seemed to have not noticed that he reduced the time between his preganancies by a year so I did not argue anymore.

I then revealed more information about the five men I met at the entertainment district based on the investigation report that Kayden got previously. I started with Aurum who as he said was the eighth prince of the Athanoviya empire and the ex-crown prince at that. I told Ioannis that we recently signed a mana business contract between us wherein I will help him co-manage and plan the future of his territory and with that contract, I ended up owning 50% of Hoffen City for a year. I saw surprise in his eyes but he did not say anything so I simply continued.

I told him about buying off Lark out of slavery but I kept him working in the entertainment district to pay off his debts with me. He must have felt the irritation in my voice when I talked about Lark and he had to ask, "You got issues with Lark?" I answered, "He's manipulative and tried to trick me into believing we have met by coincidence many times. He even paid for people to follow me around to know where I was. He even lied about being in a desperate situation so I will pity him and buy his slavery certificate." Ioannis nodded and said, "He must have been desperate to belong to you. He may have to stay as a slave but at least you are his owner. He sure was thinking just like I was when I first met you." I then realized that maybe I was too harsh and I was hit by a sudden sadness out of nowhere. When did I last visit Lark anyways?

The next one I talked about was Keeran who was connected to the magic tower as the grandmaster's only grandson. I told him about the agreement I have signed with the magic tower about helping them out in their magic researches. I also told him that the grandmaster is planning to send an engagement proposal regarding my relationship with Keeran which may be similar to what Dimitri gave me last time. I told Ioannis about the severe effects of resonance rejection on the guy's body since he not only resonated by soul but also by his mana heart. I thought that Ioannis will say something to stop it but I only saw him wince as if he felt the same pain before. I waited but he did not say anything so I continued.

Next, I talked about Caius, who turns out to be someone that belongs to a noble family with generations of people holding high positions in the military. The guy himself is highly likely a general assigned in the northern borders.

I said that there were five that night but I smiled helplessly and told him about three more that I met on the other days after that time. He looked at me as if he was saying, "I knew it wasn't just them." and I could only scratch my head in embarassment. Even if the possibility is low, I still had to mention Uncle Daejung's son, Dongmin who was an adventurer since he seems to have a high resonance with me. I also mentioned my personally chosen employees, Izuku and Feivel who signed mana contracts with me.

Lastly, I came clean that two of the mystique races specifically, the blood demons and the dark elves have already made contact with me. He looked at me as if he heard something scary. I held his hand and said, "They are my responsibilities and are part of my mission. They are simply desperate to get any help they can for any price I ask of them. I am the only princess of this kingdom. Once I take in those four sleeping guys that are arranged to me officially, I will be come the queen. I will have to face all of them whether I hate them or not. I can't let their races die out." I mentioned that Void, the next leader of the dark elves is working for me as my informant on what is currently going on with the other races since his race has the same skill set as assassins and spies. When he heard the details, Ioannis seemed to have sighed in relief. He must have thought that I was being blackmailed or coerced. They could try but I am quite sure I will be on the winning side in the end. I ended the topic by promising him that I will bring him to meet those men one by one so that they would know who my main husband was. He smiled at me thankfully.

I thought we were done but he suddenly asked, "Who was the husband before Dimitri?" I smiled at him and said, "It would be better if you meet him yourself." I then held his hand and teleported to the magic circle to the world tree realm. He was so surprised with the sudden teleportation that he ended up clinging to my arm tightly. I told him that we had to teleport to another realm to meet the guy and he nodded at me. I started up the magic circle as we both closed our eyes and the next time we opened them, we are in the middle of a beautiful field of flowers. I saw his eyes sparkle at the beautiful scenery. I guided Ioannis towards the huge tree in the middle of the field then introduced him. "This is my third husband, Laerad. He takes on the form of the World Tree that supports this world."
