Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!
Chapter 231 - 231 - Luna's Grand Prank

The others who just heard Yren's question seemed to have been suddenly enlightened. They all agreed to be part of the prank I was planning as long as Aurum is not put in any kind of danger. I looked at them as if they were stupid and answered, "You're all mine. Do you think I will let anybody put any of you guys in danger? I am the only one allowed to make fun of you guys."

The other four exhaled the breath that they have been holding once they have confirmed that I am not planning anything dangerous or drastic. They seemed to have relaxed even more when they heard that I will just do something to "make fun" of Aurum but I will still take in all of them in the end. As childhood friends, each of them had their share of pranking and making fun of the prince every chance they could get so they are quite game on the idea.

To ensure that they understand that I am serious with my decision regarding the five of them, I told them what things I have already completed on my end which I did right after I came back to Hoffen. I gave them a heads up on my recent visit at the Athanoviya palace and how I have already met the empress and the royal consort who were Aurum's birth parents.

The four were quite surprised on my claim and how I was able to get into the palace easily. It really showed on their face that they find it hard to fully believe my words and I don't blame them for that.

To clear their doubts, I had to let them understand the fact that I have another identity besides being a hardworking academe student and other roles that I have taken so far. These guys already had an inkling after our several meetings before that I was different, that I was not human. I never lied to them about it and have even admitted indirectly that I was a mystique before.

They don't know what my exact race and status is though. I totally get their thought process that a "commoner" like me won't have a chance to have an audience with royalty just because I want to or I requested for it.

To show further proof of my visit, I described everything that I saw inside the palace grounds which can only be known by someone who have been inside those highly guarded walls. Next, I gave them the exact details of the conversation I had with Aurum's parents and the fact that I have already given them a previous gift in exchange for marrying their son.

Lastly, I told them that the royal couple have requested to delay the engagement till the birthday banquet and promised that if Aurum does not marry anybody by that time, he will end up marrying me.

As they tried to digest the under the table agreements that I had at the palace, they realized that it was deceptively brilliant. I saw how their faces smiled evilly like a bunch of villains.

I gave them a heads up of the next parts of my plan and that includes me going back to my hometown for a while since I need to bring Ioannis there so he can be well taken cared of when it's time for him to give birth.

As part of the drama, I told them that I will pretend that I won't be able to make it for the birthday banquet which result to the prince getting to the arranged marriage as planned.

I further explained that their roles will be to simply accept things as they happen, accept the royal decree for the engagement and prepare everything that needs to be done for the wedding which will be held privately.

They readily gave the prince away by saying that he will surely get angry and try to escape and even go ballistic but they will gang up on him to control him and keep him in the palace till the wedding date arrives.

These guys are really enjoying this since I can see how their eyes sparkle while discussing how we will go about with the prank.

As they further understood their roles, they realized just how easy it was and agreed while proudly saying, "Easy-peasy". They said that it would just be a bit of acting which is something that can easily do.

I gave them the timeline of the plans so we are all in sync. I also gave them a heads up that I will tinker with Aurum's memory a bit to get us through with the fact that he got knocked out tonight just to make sure that we have the same story.

With all parts of the plan set and the roles designated, we all bid each other good night. As the four went back to their rooms, I looked at Arthur's bedroom door and spoke in a cold voice, "I know you are listening and you should know what you should and shouldn't say." The guy murmured behind the door, "Yes, master." I then walked back to Ioannis room and excitedly went in to spend the night cuddling my husband.

The next morning was a regular academe day and the prince's group as well as Dimitri will all have to go to their respective classes. Everybody woke up early and came out of their rooms to eat their breakfast at around 7am.

Arthur prepared all the food as part of his daily tasks. We ate breakfast quietly at first but of course, there was always one particular person in this house that just could not help but voice out whenever he finds something that bothers him.

Towards the end of the meal, Aurum coughed a bit to get everybody's attention then looked at me. I looked back at him with a blank face which made the interaction quite awkward. The guy which is weirdly out of character suddenly spoke, "Please forgive me for my outburst last night. I did not mean to be overly aggressive about the issue. I truly deserve being knocked unconscious." I had to use everything I have not to show any reaction on my face that would give away what I did last night.

After a few moments, I responded, "It was fine. I already got all the information I needed from our attendants so all is good on my end." He then went straight to the question he has been meaning to ask, "Would you be able to attend my birthday banquet in about a month from now?" I looked at him with a serious face and non-committedly answered, "I would need to go back to my hometown with Ioannis to ensure that someone takes care of him when he gives birth. I will try my best to be back on or before that date."

Aurum seemed to have expected my response as he simply nodded and did not try to convince me any further. He looked really sad but he still gave me a weak smile as he said, "I understand that you need to prioritize on that. Umm... We will be late for the first morning class so we need to get going." The guy then abruptly stood up from his seat without finishing his food, grabbed his back and hurriedly got out of the main door of the villa.

As he left, the other four attendants looked towards the door then coldly ignored him walking out. They continued eating their breakfast since they were not yet done. I asked them, "Aren't you going to follow him out of the door?" Yren simply answered, "Nope. I'll eat all of this first." The other three simply nodded in agreement with the first guy. They are really used to prince's outbursts and drama that they don't even react anymore.

I shook my head with a smile as I realized that these four can really be cold-hearted towards the prince if they wanted to and Aurum won't even be able to do anything about it. The guys were able to finish their food after about 10 minutes. They washed their own tableware and simply went out of the villa in a leisurely pace.

Once the five guys are out, Dimitri then bid me a "See you later" then leaned down to give me a quick kiss on the lips. He then hurriedly left the house shyly though I clearly saw how pink his ears were as he ran out the door.

Arthur simply looked on everything that was happening and bowed his head before leaving. He then gave me a heads up that he would be doing tasks to earn points but will make sure that he'll be back by lunch time. I simply nodded, indicating that I have given him the permission to do so.

Once all my tenants are out, it is just me and Ioannis again. I updated him on the things that was discussed between me and the Aurum's aides last night and my plans as to when I will bring him back to Eieneos. He simply agreed with all my plans and gave me another of his sweet smiles. He then looked down at his stomach and rubbed it lovingly.

After some time, he looked up and said, "Thank you for making me feel that I am still important even after you have taken in the others. I know I am not much but you also made me your main husband and even gave me the honor to have your first born children in this world."

I looked at him and responded, "When I first met you, I tried to run away. I was thinking that I have to at least be able to take care of myself first before I start taking care of somebody else. The resonance is so strong though that I can't just stay away from you. Don't think that my decisions to make you the main husband and being the first to bear my children was simply because I met your first I have always wanted you to be my first in everything. I did not mean to bring in Kayden so soon. Meeting him was unexpected but still I know that I have hurt you at that time so I want to apologize for that."

He shook his head and smiled. He then said, "No matter how things started between us, it brought us to where we are today, I will always be grateful to you and again, it is normal for women to have many husbands in this world. Besides, you could have just spent the night with me and not take responsibility. You could have just resolved it by paying money for damages or you could have kept me as a slave since I am as good as yours anyway once I gave myself to you. You don't understand how much it means to me that every time I doubted myself and my worth, you always make me feel that you willingly chose me and that is all that matters in the end."
