Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!
Chapter 173 - 173 - The one I will spend all my heats with

Makisig's POV

(flashback to the time he first saw her)

It has been almost three months since I left Gollmortha, the sanctuary of the giants. The clan hated the fact that I chose to leave without taking someone as my bride. I am already 35 years old in human years but I look like someone in their early 20s thanks to my bloodline characteristics. I have to reach an age of more than 90 before I actually start looking like a middle aged man. As for the coming of age, giants have it too but it is once we reach 30 so I am still quite young and honestly, I don't like anybody back in Gollmortha. I am also not hoping I will neet someone here in Sklavryet either. She'll come to me if ever I have a destined one. It was always what my late mother told me so I shouldn't feel pressured even if I don't get married. Though my father would be furious if he heard me saying that. He always said it was my duty to give birth to at least one child to stop our race from dying out. Wow. That favor is so easy for an unmarried guy like me! Even the married ones have been trying for years, some even decades and they haven't sired a single child! All in all, I left because they're low key forcing me to marry and get knocked up soon when all I want is to work and save money so I can have my own house.

My father chose to live with my grandparents after he became a widow. I no longer want to live with them in the same house since they are bad for my peace of mind.

I chose Sklavryet as my workplace since it is the nearest one in Gollmortha. I can come home anytime if I'm badly needed back there. The pay is good and fair here and they don't ask about your origins or your past as long as you do not do evil stuff within the territory. They also treat and protect men's rights which was the deciding factor for me. There is a port here where I can capitalize on my innate strength to earn money as well. I also took a part time job as a masked dancer in the red light district for extra coins. Don't be surprised of my part time job. Though giants are big and burly, dance is a part of our culture so I am kind of a good dancer.

It is another hot and busy day at the port. I have been here since dawn and we still have a lot of work to do now that the sun has risen quite high up in the sky. That was when I saw a woman walk into the port. She was with a thin young man and it seems like she is asking about work. I saw her smile and nod her head at the boss of another team at the port and I felt stunned in place for some reason. I couldn't get enough of her so I admittedly stared longer than necessary. I also felt a pang of pain in my heart as I saw her leave while holding the hand of the lanky guy with her. What would it feel like to walk next to her and hold her hand? Huh? What did I just think about? I shook my head and turned around to continue my work. I must be getting crazy since my heat is coming in a few days and it's just that my eyes saw that woman as a possible partner. Wait. I never felt that way with any woman. Is this really...? I turned around to look at her again but she was nowhere to be found.

It has been a few days of me working and staring at her from afar. This has become a routine from my daily boring life. I was amazed at how adept she was at magic. She lifts heavy loads from the port without a sweat and finishes her work on time everyday. She then leaves immediately and I heard that she goes to another part time job at the restaurant. One day, my curiousity could not be kept in anymore and I actually followed her secretly to her next job. I saw her change her work clothes to that of a cook then went inside the kitchen of a restaurant. I even bought some food from the place so I have a reason to stay longer. My stalking habit lasted until I followed her home and even saw her fetch that lanky guy and bring him to his work at the bakery. She then went to an inconspicuous alchemy shop where the owner seems to know her well. She asked a few questions then she was given a small booklet of some sort then she left quickly. I saw her head for the northern gates. She must be going there to do some tasks. I know she is adept in magic but would she be okay alone? Damn. Before I knew it, I already could not get enough of her. I ended up following her around the forest and made sure she came back in to the gates safely. I should be irked by her effects on me but I was actually happy that I was able to ensure her safety even if she did not have any idea what I was doing for her.

My days went by doing thankless tasks for the first woman who caught my attention in my 35 years of existence. Too bad, I have work in the evening today so I am not able to send her home after her alchemy job. I still need money to live anyways and if I will ever be with her, my pride won't let me allow her to spend money on me. I just hope that she doesn't take it against me that I work as a masked dancer in Bliss.

Tonight, I see the usual audience I had on my scheduled dances in the week. I don't know what's with these people but after I danced a few times, I ended up as the top dancer of the establishment. The owner even asked me if it was possible for me to dance everyday as well as eat and drink with customers but I declined. I don't plan to do this job for a long time or to make it my main source of money. I am just saving up so I can get my own home in Gollmortha.

I looked around for a bit and then stealthily went towards the back of the stage where I can change my clothes and condition my mind of the things that I'll have to do on that stage in a bit. It was a good thing that I was allowed to wear a mask or else, I don't think I would be able to even set foot in there. It only took me less than half an hour to fully prepare.

Once I came to the stage, my movements were more flirty and my aura mysterious and seductive. It was hard at first but you've got to do what you have to do for money. As I was already in the middle of my dance, I felt uneasy for some reason as I clearly became aware with a pair of eyes looking at me somewhere far from the stage. I looked into the direction of where that look was and there she was, watching at me dance with all her attention. I felt tingly all over and by instinct, I gave by far the best dance I performed in Bliss. The people seemed to be screaming, coins were being thrown on stage but it felt like everything went quiet as if it was just her in this place. I saw her stand up from her seat and walked slowly towards the stage. Did she actually felt that I was familiar? Is that why she was trying to have a closer look? I saw her slowly approach and then she conjured what looks like a dark blue pouch. It seems to be filled with coins. Once she was near enough, she threw the pouch right in my direction. As it landed on the stage right in front of my feet, it magically swallowed up all the coins on the stage like magic. Was it an enchanted storage bag? I couldn't help but stare at the bag because simply, this is damn expensive. When I looked up, she was already making her way out of the door as if what she threw at me were some useless junk.

After I finished my dance, I hurried to the back to dress up and leave secretly from the back door. I want to ask her if she finds me familiar. Why would you even give an expensive gift for someone you barely know? I tried to look around but I can't find her anywhere. Damn!She must have gone home to that lanky guy again. I guess I just have to go home for now.

The next day, it was my day off and I was so bored. I just stared at nothing and just ate when I was hungry. I was finally on my wits end by afternoon so I decided to leave my dorm room and go around town. I guess it was fate as I saw her walking towards the southern gate. Before my brain worked properly, I have already called out her name and she stopped to look back at me. I asked her to have some snacks and she agreed. I asked her if I can accompany her to the forest and she agreed. I believe that I was the one trying to know her more but I think I was the one who was seduced. Before I knew it, we were making out by the lake and I initiated it! She then teleported us to somewhere with a bed and everything just went too fast after that and I believe my brain just stopped working at that time too. The next time I opened my eyes, we were both naked, cuddling and the room has a lingering scent of lovemaking. What did I just end up doing?
