Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!
Chapter 133 - 133 - Going Back to Hoffen City Again

On the last day of our honeymoon trip in Eieneos, I could not keep the secret anymore from Ioannis and told him that he has to be a bit more careful since there is already a child forming in his womb so to speak. He was stunned at first, then he smiled beautifully and hugged me tight. Afterwards, I felt my right shoulder get wet as his tears got through my clothes. I sincerely hope that these are tears of joy and not of regret though. Honestly, it made me nervous somewhat. I tried to loosen his hug around me but the hug just tightened even further. After some time, I heard him murmur. "I'm scared". I had to ask immediately, "Of what?" He nuzzled his face on the crook of my neck and murmured, "Will I be able to be a good father? Will my body be strong enough to keep this child safe and healthy?" I laughed a bit and answered, "What am I for? I don't plan to abandon you while you are pregnant, you know? That child is strong since he/she is a mix of us." He then loosened his hug and then stared right into my eyes. I then heard a soft whisper as he said, "Thank you for giving me a chance to become a father. I don't know if I can be any happier than this."

Once he has calmed down, I opened the topic about the length of his pregnancy. I told him that we are not sure how long before he gives birth but the minimum would be 6 months which poses an issue since we are trying to conceal the fact that both of us are mystiques. If he gives birth to the child three months early than a human would, it is definitely a total giveaway.

Me being consistent about choosing smart men, ended with a quick-witted husband that nonchalantly answered, "I can leave the academe and come here to Eieneos before we reach the end of the sixth month. We can say that I am going to your hometown so that somebody can take care of me on the last trimester. I think the academe also gives leave of absences to women who have partners that are about to give birth so we can keep everything hidden".

Such a quick solution! I hope the kid takes after Ioannis not just in looks but also in overall personality and traits. If this little guy inherits my personality, especially the not-so-nice ones, Ioannis might not want to give birth to another child for me in this life. Well, that was an exaggeration alright, but I think my two-year period may be extended to about five years or maybe more? I don't want to look for too many men just to bear my children. I'd rather have them with my official husbands though. They can just give birth to more than one, right?

Once we have packed and made sure everything is set, I had him sit and wait at the main living room of the palace. I told him that there are just some things I need to quickly check since I won't be able to visit this place for quite some time. Once I made sure he's settled, I went up to the room of beginnings and told them of the pregnancy. Surprisingly, Lia seems to be quite active in this room as well. Are Lia and Aelorus friends in their previous lives perhaps? (Author's Note: I think they were married but they didn't tell you.) Since both of them are here, it will be easier to give them a quick update and some further instructions. I told them that it may take up to six months before I can come back so they have to manage the place in my absence. I also divulged that by that time, the reason for my return will be because I had to bring Ioannis here to safely give birth to our first child. For some reason, the voices of the two are more animated. Out of curiosity, I asked when the outer parts of the city will be uncovered and usable and they said that it would unlock by themselves once the requirements are met. I further inquire as to what these requirements are and they told me honestly that the outer parts are the territories of the four noble houses of Eieneos. I came to a sudden conclusion and asked a direct question, "Are you telling me that the heirs of the houses have to be awakened to gain access to those parts of the territory?" The other two suddenly became quiet but soon after, Lia bravely said, "That seems to be the case." I simply said, "Oh. I guess we won't be able to use those areas for now."

After leaving my last statement, I walked out of the room and then made my way to the room where the four beauties are being kept. I looked at each of their faces as if etching them into my minds. In my head, I apologized to them since I have decided to keep them like this for a much longer time than needed. They must have been wanting to wake up. They must have wanted to see what has become of the kingdom they left four millennia ago and salvage what was left of the things and people they valued. As uncharacteristic of me as it was, I left each one of them a kiss on the forehead as if wishing a child to have sweet dreams. I guess it must be my "Thank you". They have been the quiet people listening to my stories and ramblings whenever I enter their room to hide from my lustful consort. I bet they would have laughed at my predicament. Some women would have definitely wanted a life where you always have a man you can do naughty things with but as for me, I am trying to avoid men.

My last stop was a visit to Nische. I think it will take some time for me to get used to calling him by his real name, "Laerad" but I think with his happy-go-lucky personality, he won't mind using any of the two. I miss joking around with the little guy though when he wakes up, he won't look that cute anymore since he's a grown man.

After I opened my eyes into the vast field of flowers, I immediately ran to hug the tree which has grown thicker in terms of circumference as well as the sudden increase of the number of lush leaves it has. While hugging the tree, I sent my consciousness inside and immediately felt warm and calm. Though I know he can't hear me, I spoke to Nische, "I'll be back before you know it. I promise to bring some valuable gifts for you by then."

As I opened my eyes, to be fair for those that I will leave here, I also placed a kiss on the tree trunk to wish my little seed sweet dreams. After that, I teleported back to the living room of the palace. When I appeared, Ioannis simply gave me a smile and that look that says he knew everything and fully understood the things that I had to do here before we leave. I then beckoned Ioannis to approach me. He immediately stood up and took my hand. I gave him a chaste kiss on the lips as we started the teleportation back to the headmaster's office in the academe.

When we opened our eyes, we are inside the dimly lit office. The headmaster must have been out to do some important errands which was a good thing since I don't want him to be surprised by our sudden arrival again. I kept holding Ioannis' hand as we left the room and started on our way to the dorms. It took us very little time to get there.

As I placed my palm on the room and opened it, I was surprised to see nothing inside the room. I looked at Ioannis with my confused eyes and he simply scoffed and said, "Villa." Oh! Now that I remember it, we gave Arthur a task to prepare the villa and move everything over before we come back. He really does his job diligently.

I quickly removed the spells I used to secure our old dorm room.We then exited the dorms and as we did, there were a lot of eyes following our every move. Was that envy or may be just curiosity? We continued walking and simply ignored the looks they were giving us and went straight to the place where the villa that we chose was.

As we arrived, I was impressed that it looked like a quaint and modern house in the middle of an urban city. It looks like a bungalow outside but which house is so simple in a world of magic?

The first thing I did as I touched the gate of the property is place a strong barrier around it. I don't have the need for unnecessary visitors and intruders, especially now that Ioannis is pregnant. I will place one on the perimeter, on the house itself and another one in the room where Ioannis will stay. I don't care if everybody thinks I am paranoid. This is my first child and I do not want Ioannis to fear anything.

We entered the gate and the doors smoothly amidst the sea of curious glances. I guess what the headmaster said to me was not an exaggeration. He said that there was never a student in the long history of the academe that was able to afford renting an academe villa with his or her points just after a one semester stay. I can't help it! I just did what I think was most efficient. I asked for the list of all actions and tasks that give points. I also think that luck has a hand on it since who would have thought that an attendant, now my consort, is equally skilled in earning points? Just work harder and smarter, envious people.
