Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!
Chapter 137 - 137 - Void's Detailed Reports of the Mystique Races Part 1

Once the other two men I had in tow have made their way inside, the first thing that Void did was to remove his hood which further revealed his impressive features. He then kneeled in front of me on one knee and greeted me in mystique language respectfully.

He always addresses me as "queen" even if I have told him several times before that I have not officially received the title yet and that he can just call me by my first name. As for how he looked today, I couldn't help but stare at his current countenance. Though the illusion doesn't work on me, I can still see the illusion just fine. It was the same face I have seen the first time I met him but also different at the same time.

He didn't have the pointed ears, the bluish-gray skin and the silvery-white pupils of his eyes which were signature features of someone from the dark elf race. He opted for black hair that matches mine, cream colored smooth skin and electric blue eyes. He looks human through and through. I also could not feel even a whiff of mystique mana from his body.

I realized that I became dazed for a bit as I saw a smirk forming on his lips. I immediately asked him to stand lest we attract too much attention from the surrounding people. He then stood up quickly with his chest out just like a brave soldier that came back successfully from his mission.

I did not look away even if he caught me staring at his face for a longer time than necessary. I smiled at him and asked a question as if nothing happened, "Have you completed all the tasks I have assigned to you? Do you have any information that I need to know urgently?"

He confidently answered, "Yes. I have made sure to get as much accurate information as possible without letting the other party find out that they were under surveillance. As for it being urgent, I am not sure. It highly depends on the plans you have for the near future, my queen."

I gave him a business-like smile and then turned my gaze away from him as I held on to the gate of the villa. I then asked Void to touch it so that he can be provided permission to enter my home. I made sure that the barriers verify his identity and this includes the main door of the villa as well.

As I entered the living room, seven pairs of eyes were staring at me and the new guy I have in tow as we walked across from the main door until we entered my personal study. I ignored their stares and continued walking to my study which is the empty room next to my bedroom. I then closed the door behind me and casted a set of soundproofing and anti-trespassing spells around the room.

I walked towards my favorite comfy chair in the room and sat. I asked Void to sit on one of the cushioned chairs near me. I believe that with how confident he is, the amount of information he is carrying will at least take an hour or two to be fully reported to me.

Outside the door, seven men are looking at each other silently. Once they have confirmed that Luna and the mysterious guy have settled inside the study, all of them sighed heavily almost the same time. Dimitri, the third husband, seemed to be the bravest about discussing a potential issue.

He asked a question that must be in everybody's mind right now, "Does anybody know or have seen that guy before?" One by one, the men shook their heads and Dimitri sighed heavily again.

Aurum and his four aides would have said yes if the disguise spells don't work on them but since Void was on a very impressive disguise through an illusion spell as of now, they had no idea who he was at all. Aurum who has been keeping quiet about everything that's been happening since this morning finally couldn't reel in his anger (and jealousy, though he's denying it).

He then asked through gritted teeth, "Do you guys think that he is her current target for the position of the fourth husband?"

Xenos looked at the prince who was about to have a tantrum and said, "So what if he is? Can anybody of us do anything about it? The woman decides who gets accepted and who isn't. You better just use your time to focus on thinking of ways so that she accepts you soon. Our future married lives, all of us four, highly depended on how effective your plans are, my dear prince."

Yren stayed quiet. Helios rolled his eyes and looked away. Calix simply clicked his tongue, not hiding any bit of his annoyance because of the whole situation.

Aurum clicked his tongue back and retorted, "Do you think I am just bidding my time here? She already has this (as he pointed at Dimitri's face) and that pregnant guy over there (as he pointed towards Ioannis' room). We have another one managing the Moonlight Inn outside. Now, we have that guy inside her office. How about you?"

The last question was for Arthur who was looking down. He snapped his head up and said in a cold tone, "We had a bet that if I could pay for my freedom from this academe by the end of her two-year stay here, she will also take me in."

Aurum rolled his eyes, scoffed and murmured, "I knew it."

Ioannis, being someone who has greatly heightened hearing, slowly opened his bedroom door and peaked out towards the living room. He then smiled sweetly and talked sarcastically with a tone that does not match his smile, "I just want all of you to know that Dimitri is the FOURTH husband, not the third. Luna's parents have also left her four men with arranged marriage agreements before they left this world. She just hasn't made her connection with those four men official just yet. If I were all of you, just find a way for her to take you in officially before those four. Stop bothering about which number you are in the order. She also plans to have a lot of children, a big family in the future. Unless you plan to give birth at least ten times for her which I doubt you would even survive doing, stop whining when she seemingly wants to take a new man in. Just make yourselves useful and indispensable."

He then returned to his cold-faced self then slammed his bedroom door shut, leaving the remaining seven people in the living room in shock.

Back inside the office, Void started his report with the current population of each of the mystique races and how they are faring in terms of health and strength compared to the others. He ranked them from the ones that are quite doing well and not in desperate need of help to the ones that would die out if left in their current state.

Based on his research, the FAIRIES have the least number of population and are the most in danger since their move to the human realm. Given that they have tiny bodies and that they are highly dependent on mystique mana which is very scarce in the atmosphere of the human realm, they have been suffering for the last few centuries.

The most stable so far were the DRAGONS who were though low in number, aren't in any danger. Their lives are long and their bodies are sturdy. Though they aren't able to transform into their dragon forms due to low mana, their race is doing just fine.

The next ones are GIANTS who have found their sanctuary in the Valborga Mountain Range. Though their sizes have decreased quite a lot (they are still above 6 feet but giants are usually way taller than that), their gentle nature has let them live harmoniously with human settlements near their area. They were also able to earn a decent living by using their size and strength for labor-intensive jobs.

The other races that were ranked in the middle of the list like the dark elves, blood demons and beastmen have quite a normal level of population and not many issues living among humans so they can be left on their own devices for a longer time though the scarcity of food and other forms of sustenance has been a daily struggle for them as well.

Connected to him going around the sanctuaries of the other races, I previously gave him a drawn copy of the map that was made by the combined efforts of Nische and Lia. Void's job was to confirm if the mystique races are still in the marked areas at present time. Luckily, all of them seemed to have opted to stay in the marked areas though some have significantly expanded their sanctuaries during the last couple of decades.

Besides confirming the location and well-being of the other races, another important task I gave him was to monitor the movements of two specific targets, the elves and heralds, our dear traitors. Knowing their cunning nature, I am quite sure that they are already on high alert as to when the heir of Eieneos will appear knocking at their doors. I don't plan on letting my presence be known that easily though. The only things I need from them are the things they stole from Nische and my family and maybe a few seeds of life for my mission.

Part of Void's spying on these two races included him checking on ways that I can take advantage of so I can infiltrate their sanctuaries unnoticed. He smiled confidently and gave me some really great news. He said that it has been confirmed that the "Annual Mystique Blood Union Festival" will be held in 3 months time.

He immediately explained about what would be happening in this festival that was created by the elves and heralds. During this time, the sanctuaries of both races will open up for outsiders to join in the festivities. He couldn't help but show his disdain as he scoffed. He said that no matter how fancy the name of the festival was, it was simply a time for the unmarried male elves and heralds to go into their heats at the same time due to the effects of the two moons becoming full at the same time.

These sex-crazed elves and heralds would then be in a trance-like state where only their sexual instincts and need to have an offspring would remain as if they were high on aphrodisiacs or illegal drugs. They will go wild and uninhibited.

Knowing that these beautiful men are not in their right minds, many women come from far and wide to see if they can be eligible to have an experience of this event. As for the males, once the effects of the full moons start, none of them would care what race or how the woman they get intimate with looks like. They won't even be sober enough to care about how many sexual partners they would have for the period of two weeks.

This event was both hated and welcomed by the two races for some odd reason. Since it is an annual event, they either like it that much or they don't have a way to avoid this event. My gut feel tells me that it is the latter, most likely.

Being the most twisted of the bunch, I am quite sure they do not mind how dirty or how much of a sacrifice will their means be as long as they get the results that they want in the end. It's just how their minds work, very twisted and cruel even to their own kind.
