Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!
Chapter 177 - 177 - First Visit to Gollmortha

The next morning, I woke up quite early to prep myself up for my trip to Gollmortha with Makisig. I was so preoccupied and excited by the fact that I will be finally seeing my first mystique sanctuary that I missed out on one very important thing. I forgot to tell Lark about it. I did not tell him that I was going somewhere else with another man who I accidentally knocked up as well. I know that he had a talk with Ioannis about trying to stop me from bringing in more men to the family. With this happening, this is efinitely way above what they were expecting. I only realized my mistake after I woke up this morning. I think I will be encountering problems and a little drama before I leave the house today.

First things first, I slowly sat up and made my way to the bathroom. I had a quick shower and then dressed up like an adventurer who will be scavenging in the forests and mountains which is technically what I am planning to do while traversing the forest on the way to Gollmortha. I started cooking breakfast for two and then placed it on the table. I already heard Lark stirring in bed while I was cooking in the kitchen so I am quite sure he'll come out soon and eat breakfast with me.

When he walked out of the room, he looked surprised that breakfast is already served and the fact that I seemed to be preparing to go somewhere. It only lasted a few seconds since he must have thought that I am planning to do some part-time work again. He simply sat on the chair in front of me in the dining area and ate his breakfast quietly. I volunteered to clean up afterwards too which I earned a look with furrowed eyebrows from him. He stayed seated in the dining area and he watched me do the clean up.

Once I am done cleaning up the dining and kitchen areas, I decided to be the first to tell him the thing I forgot to mention. It is better to say it voluntarily than be questioned like a criminal afterwards. He must have been curious as to why I woke up so early on a day that I do not have to work but opted to stay quiet to avoid any potential arguments. I smiled at him and said that I will be going to the territory of the giants, Gollmortha, with someone today. He looked at me for a few seconds with sadness in his eyes and then asked, "Are you going with your new man?" I could only sigh and shake my head at how perceptive my men are. I nodded my head and kept a rueful smile on my face. I heard him sigh and then he gave a simply reply, "How long will you stay there?" I replied honestly, "I may come back late tonight or early the next day depending on how things go there. He's pregnant by the way but the guy himself doesn't know yet." His eyes widened in disbelief and then he looked down. I saw him clasp his hands together tightly. He breathed heavily and then asked, "Are you going to take him in?" I answered quickly, "I'm not sure yet but I don't have plans of letting him have sole right to my child. If it doesn't work out, we'll part ways and I'll keep the child with me." He seemed to have been confused about what I said and clarified, "How can you part ways with the man but still keep the child? The child should still be in his womb, right?" I simply answered, "It is hard to explain it in detail but just believe me when I tell you that I have a way to do that. Let's just say that it was a magic spell or an innate skill that I have. If I was an evil person, I can just sleep around, get unknowing men pregnant and take the child with me as I leave the man behind. They wouldn't even have a glimpse of our child ever." I saw extreme fear in his eyes with how I said the horrible things that I can do if I wanted to and how I can get away with them so easily. It seemed to have silenced any remaining questions that he may have had.

He kept his silence as I went through my motions of wearing some of my outer clothing, arranging the my bag (though everything else is in storage) and preparing to leave. He did not ask any other questions and there aren't any signs of the drama that I thought would happen. He bid me goodbye and with a soft voice, he pleaded, "Please, come back home." I smiled at the guy who looked really deflated and helpless. I hugged him tight and this time, I gave him a gentle kiss that was meant to melt all of his doubts about me not wanting him anymore. I only parted from his lips once I felt that he was starting to find breathing difficult. The kiss left him panting and dazed. I promised in a soft voice, "I'll be back before you know it."

I teleported from the doorway of my home to the front door of the inn where Makisig was staying. I knocked twice and opened the door. I saw Makisig staring forward again as if in deep thought. He hurriedly pretended to be his usual self when he heard me walk in. I immediately greeted him, "Good morning! What are you thinking so deeply about?" He shook his head and replied, "It is such a heavy topic to talk about so early in the morning. Let's talk about it a little later when we are walking through the forests." He then gave me a forced smile. I nodded and then hurried him so we could go down the lobby and have him eat breakfast. Even if he looked a bit bothered by something, he still moved quite quickly. He have also finished preparing everything he needed to bring back home inside a huge bag that is about half his height. He said that money is useless and their people would appreciate bringing back the fresh produce and usable items more. I told him we can place it in my storage and then we will just bring it back out once we are about half a kilometer away from the sanctuary so he doesn't have to carry the heavy bag all the way there. He thanked me with a smile and gave me the huge bag that was easily over 100 kilograms of assorted stuff.

While he was having his breakfast, I talked to the personal guard assigned to me from Noir and told him to keep Lark safe at all times. I told him that they don't need to follow me and admitted that I was going to Gollmortha. I asked for a separate task to be done for me and that is to look for a wide expanse of land, preferrably a valley surrounded by mountains. I told them that I saw it in one of my visits in the southern forest and the landmark was a mouth of an inconspicuous cave. I gave the approximate coordinates and asked them to clean up the place since I plan to build my own sanctuary there. The guard looked surprised but still nodded his head. I gave him a bag of coins as advance payment for the tasks.

I went back to Makisig who is almost finished with his meal. I saw several cleaned plates. He eats a lot, huh? Well, his body is huge and tall. If you add up the fact that he's pregnant with twins, it was expected that his appetite will be bigger than before. I paid for the meal and we immediately walked out of the inn to the direction of the eastern gate of Sklavryet.

Our trip across the forest was spent with me harvesting stuff here and there. We luckily encountered a wild boar too which we hunted down. He was amazed at how I was adept in butchering livestock and I simply answered that it was one of the skills I needed to become a master level chef in the future. He looked amazed but kept his reactions to a minimum. We reached the half kilometer mark from Gollmortha after walking for about three hours non-stop in a quick pace that only mystiques and someone who have been in this forest several times would be able to do. As promised, we brought out his huge back of assorted goodies as well as the boar that we hunted down earlier. I also brought out a bag of my own to give the idea that I am a normal human adventurer. I don't have plans of letting them know about me being from Eieneos. As I have said, I am not a saint. I won't take all of them to the new world tree realm. I would only take in ones that are worthy of helping. I don't want anyone who's annoying and evil take benefits from my hardwork. Let's see if Makisig's family and the whole of Gollmortha gives me a good first impression.
