Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!
Chapter 208 - 208 - As the effects of the moonlight dies down

The first week of the festival is the peak of the effects of the two full moons when people of Freyheimr go crazy with heat. I honestly had a very busy week during that time too. I don't think anybody could claim to be busier than I am. For one, I never thought I would be able to juggle such a huge crowd in my house. If I should make a summary of how my week went, it would be: taking an attendant on my first night, meeting his father the next day, promising to cook dinner for 70 people everyday for two weeks, making secret arrangements for the people on the outer district and checking other useful people I can snatch from this territroy. On the first official day of the festival, I even took in eight mystiques in one go which I don't know why I agreed to so easily. I was then given "offerings" by the elders which was a total of five more men, which were sent one by one till the end of the one week period. This does not include the others that I had to take in to stop the elders from doing evil things to them like Ithil (Vaelion's father) and the talented ones in the outer district. All in all, I have already taken in 25 men in just a week. Out of all those men, I am only living with 14 of them right now but honestly, it was already mentally exhausting. I made other arrangements for the other 11 newly bought slaves to live in the middle district for now.

As I was taking in more people and making arrangements for them, I still did not stop cooking lunch for those living in the outer district every day as well as making my rounds in the forest to forage alchemy items and also hunt animals for meat and other sellable materials. I also answer some alchemy questions from the research team though I give perfunctory answers most of the time since I don't really intend to help them do more evil things to other beings. As for saving credits for my future purchases, I already gathered enough to buy all the outer district slaves. I continue working because I am not one to stop earning money just because I already have enough to buy what I originally wanted. Most of the recent items I have taken from the forests were sent over to me and Uncle Daejung's shared inventory for the alchemy shop back in Hoffen. My storage has the function keeps them fresh indefinitely so I can never have too much of the same ingredient or alchemy material. I have already paid for the slave contracts of the first 25 men so their ownership has already been transferred to me immediately. I simply want to make sure that the elders could not change their minds and take them back when they feel like it. I never told the five newbies (a.k.a offerings) that I have bought them off. You can take is aas a prank on my end or me making sure they continue working hard for their freedom. I never touched them again after their first night with me too. The effect of me being cold was kind of unexpected though since they started to act weirdly. Sometimes, I feel like they were jealous that I only ever spent my nights inside my room with Vaelion. I am sure it was not an illusion since those five started outright seducing me and flirting with me. This reaction is something you wouldn't expect from people that were offered to somebody who took advantage to claim their purity while they were not on their normal selves. I know what I did and I have the guts to admit it. I know it was still by force even if during my first nights with them, I never felt any of them trying to stop me or even fight back one bit during the deed. They were actually too calm and accepting. I felt that they were even enjoying it too but that should just be me imagining things. They're acting abnormally that I am starting to doubt if I have really healed up their bodies and minds fully. I know I did and I even gave them a check up a few times afterwards just to be sure. Ugh. I have too many things to do so I will just let them be for now.

The elves and heralds I own essentially are still free to do what they feel like doing with their time. I also gave them permission to leave the house as long as they come back before dinner time. They are all wearing those green bracelets that signify that they have owners so they are protected well within the territory. I provide them with their basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter with occasional gifts whenever I go shopping in the middle district. I also made sure to remove all the scars in their bodies hoping it makes them feel a bit better. For others that have more deteriorated health when I met them, they are all healing up gradually as of now.

I never stopped going out to gather stuff from the forests since I need to provide for more and more people now. Some of them, namely: Therlis, the healer; Maidar, the archer; Elondar, the druid;and Merith, the hunter were my daily companions during these trips outside the forest. They were mostly carrying stuff for me, learning things like cute children and helping me forage or hunt. I also alternately bring a few out of the ten recent slaves I bought from the outer district. I look like a princess with a ton of bodyguards whenever we go out which I honestly don't hate at all.

As for the others like Vaelion and Ithil and the remaining "offerings", they opted to stay inside the house. They volunteered to keep the house and the surrounding area, clean and organized. They also made sure the meals are prepared on time so I got off of the cooking duty quickly in the house. The ones from the middle district that I allowed to continue doing their professions, leave early each morning and go about their day managing their shops and stores. They all voluntarily give their profits at the of each day to me to help out in paying off the slavery contracts of their five friends. I let them do it since I know that it would make them feel less burdened about me supporting them.

As an extra task with extra pay, I also instructed the eight working guys to find other people that they believe would be useful to bring out of this place and they readily nodded their heads with naughty smirks on their faces. They even told me that they will find "like-minded" elves and heralds that would accept the same offer I gave them. I furrowed my brows at their confidence but if they could find a few, it's totally a welcome thing for me. These eight seemed to be really thriving and happy since they found a vengeful owner like me with the same goals as they have. I can only shake my head and laugh cause I find fate really funny and very appropriate at these situations. I am now more confident to bring more people out of here since I have assistants now like Vaelion, Elondar and Verrad who each has an abundant amount of mana in them. They should be enough to protect the other slaves as I teleport them in batches to Marahuyo.

Life was generally normal, even too routinary if you ask me but I liked this slow and peaceful times. It was like a calm before the storm, no the apocalypse, that I would be bringing in this territory at the end of this festival. I already sent a message to Makisig about the upcoming increase in population from the elves and heralds side. I felt that he hated the idea but I calmed him down by assuring him that I have total control of the bunch. I came clean about the slavery thing too. I told him that I also made sure to take only the ones with good character and those that hated the territory and wanted to leave. I imagined him sighing and rolling his eyes but still giving in to my plans. And that he did as he responded with a very short letter the says, "Fine. You win." that made me laugh so loud while holding my stomach.

Suddenly, I miss the guys back in Hoffen and I wanted to see how the children in my pregnant husbands' stomachs are doing. I think I would be teleporting long distances to make visits in Hoffen once I am back in Sklavryet to visit Ioannis. I can easily visit Makisig since he's nearby. I also miss the clingy Lark. I wonder how he's doing during these two weeks I was away.

I don't plan to leave this region just yet since I am already near the areas of the beastmen. I might as well pick some useful ones to bring to Marahuyo. When I say useful ones, I am thinking about breeding and work purposes. It might be selfish but I need people who will earn their keep at least. If they can fulfill both traits, that would be for the best. First things first, I would need to gather more information about the beastmen's culture and heat periods for me to be able to plan my next move. I don't even know how many villages there are within the beastmen race and territory so I don't know how many I will be taking in. Maybe I should tell Makisig to clear up more areas for housing just to be sure. For now, let's squeeze out every single useful thing from the elven forests during these last few days!

I didn't know I was smirking while making plans in my head and when I looked around, everybody with me were looking down, quiet and pale with fear. Did they think I was thinking of ways to make them suffer during this trip? I never did that even when I only had Vaelion with me before. I don't know if I would laugh or feel insulted.
