Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!
Chapter 161 - 161 - The Fourth Prince from the Fallen Kingdom of Crimson

I am not sure how long it will take for the spell to complete the whole detoxification process of his body so I thought that a time alteration spell in this room I am currently in would be much needed. I set the time difference to the outside at a conversion of one hour outside to six hours inside the room. This should be enough time for him to wake up, for us to have a little talk and maybe a bit of fun in between.

I cast an invisibility spell on myself so I can see first hand how he acts when he is all alone. This is also a way so I will be able to gauge if he is really not okay in the head or he was simply acting crazy to protect himself.

After about two hours inside the room, the guy's eyelashes finally fluttered which is a sign that he is about to wake up. When he finally woke up, I immediately saw his fierce eyes open abruptly then dart around the room as if looking for an enemy that he needed to kill.

When he realized that there was not a single person in sight, he breathed a sigh of relief. He then finally found the time to look at his current situation. I heard him click his tongue in annoyance as he saw that he was chained to a wall quite securely with only a tiny piece of cloth keeping what is left of his dignity. He gives off the aura of someone who is wild, intense and kind of stubborn.

Should I play with him while staying invisible? I have never tried pranking a person in this state but just thinking about it sounds fun.

I stood up from my comfy chair making sure that it moved a bit backwards and make a screeching sound as the legs of the chair gets dragged across the floor. This immediately alerted the guy chained on the wall as he looked around but saw no one from the direction where the sound came from. He furrowed his brows and I saw his muscles tense up and his alertness heighten even more.

I walked quietly towards him until I was only a couple of steps in front of him and spoke, "Would you care to tell me your name, what job you had before and the story of how you got to this place?"

I saw his eyes widen and there was a hint of fear in his eyes but he hid it quite well. He then spoke as calmly as he could and used his modulated voice, "Why would I tell you anything about me? Are you perhaps an assassin those evil people sent to finish the job?"

I giggled a bit and playfully answered, "Whether I am an assassin or not, I can practically do anything I want with you if you continue ignoring my questions. I can also squeeze the information I need directly from your mind but I don't think you want me to know every single thing about you from the day you were born, right?" His calmness cracked a little and he gulped loudly.

I saw him looking down and closing his eyes tight as if he is deciding about something that can result to his death. Since he chose to stay silent instead of giving me an answer, I approached him a little more and then lightly touched the area on top of his chest with the tip of my index finger and then dragged it slowly down to his stomach down to the part on top of his womb area. I can hear him gasp and whimper at what his body was feeling but he still did not answer my questions.

To tease him further, I started tracing squiggly lines on top of his womb area as if teasing him while making sure my fingertip gets dangerously close to the only cloth he was wearing. I felt him shiver and then gasp as he opened his eyes in disbelief. He then immediately changed his stance as he responded, "Pl- Please... Stop, I... I will answer your questions. Just... just stop touching me, please."

I stopped drawing the lines with my finger tips but decided to touch his chin and lift his face so I can see it clearly. He stared forward, his eyes surveying the nothingness in front of him as if wanting to see who was the person touching his chin but of course, he wouldn't be able to see me unless his magic skills are higher than mine.

He breathed heavily and I felt his heart beat faster for every second that passes by. He must be nervous and thinking frantically about his next move would be. After a few seconds, he must have come up with nothing as he started speaking with a bit of a stutter, "My... My name is Richard. I'm a... war slave. I- I come from... Crimson though I don't think I still have a kingdom to go back to after we lost the... war. I can say that... I'm... I'm a part-time soldier and a part-time prince before." Hmm... This is a very interesting find.

I then asked him more by saying, "War? Which kingdom did you have a war with? Why are you alone here?" His eyes showed a bit of sadness and he really looked like a sad puppy right now.

I released his chin and waited for him to give his response. His voice seemed to choke a bit but he still answered, "My kingdom fought with the kingdom of Viridis. They wanted to take our land but I think they were also targeting our bloodline especifically us three brothers. They were backed by those long-eared evil beings. I don't know where my family and my people are. I don't even know if there are still people who are alive. I am sure my brothers are still alive. My eldest brother was brought to Viridis since the princess of that kingdom liked him while the other one most likely was brought to Freyheimr for the upcoming ritual." Isn't this the backstory I was waiting for? It seems that the elves and heralds haven't stopped kidnapping men that are potential vessels.

I stayed quiet for a few minutes while thinking of my next move. After a while I asked him a provocative question, "What if I tell you that I can look for your people and bring them to safety? What are you willing to trade with me to get this favor?"

His eyes widened as he stared forward. His eyes turned red as if he was about to cry but there was a fierce determination in his eyes as well as he spoke, "I will be your slave for life. Please save as many people from my kingdom as possible."

I placed my hand on the sides of his face as I said, "I might still need to read you memories though it may be a bit uncomfortable and a bit painful. I have to get the exact pictures of how your family members and closest people look like. We will start with rescuing those at least. I promise to bring them back, no matter what status they are in."

I closed my eyes as I started to look into his mind to search for his most recent memories. I felt his body twitch at the sudden intrusion into his mind. I have to make it quick since I don't want to turn him crazy for real.

I looked into the images of the last people he has seen and took note of how they looked like and then their approximate age. I'll make some sketches of these people later so Noir can find them faster. I did it within a couple of minutes but Richard was still left dazed since his mind was intruded in to. I tapped his cheek while saying his name to wake him up and fortunately, after a few taps on his cheek and me repeatedly calling for his name, he woke up from his dazed state.

After he woke up, I talked to him about his offer, "You said that you are willing to be my slave for life. Do you have any idea what a slave does for their master since you so easily offered it on the get go?"

He then blushed and looked down as he said, "I know that they have to do anything that their master wants without complaints. I don't have anything else to offer but myself at this point. I did not bring any money or valuables with me. I have no kingdom and I have nobody to back me up." I smiled sweetly at this guy's determination and though I knew he was only offering this out of desperation, I can't help but feel lucky to have met him first.

I then told him, "I guess, we will have to make things official in a bit but for now, I have to inspect what I am going to get out of this deal, right?" His head snapped up and looked forward to the nothingness in front of him. He then carefully asked, "What do you mean by inspect? Won't you at least tell me your name first, future master?"

I smirked though he could not see it and simply said, "Just call me by my codename, "Queen". You can say that I belong to Noir. As for the inspection, isn't it normal to check on the quality of items before you buy them? I want to know if you are worth buying and helping. I will greatly appreciate your cooperation on this, Richard."

Before he could ask any more questions, I sealed his mouth with a fiery and torrid kiss at the same time I started pouring some of my mystique mana into his body to make a thorough health check both inside and out.
