Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!
Chapter 232 - 232 - Leaving again

Since I was planning to go back to Eieneos soon, I can't go through the regular classes that lasts the whole semester. I am a student though so I still have to take a few units at least for this semester. I chose to enroll only in short courses that would take less than two weeks. It is not like I need to catch up on the number of units this year. I have been taking a lot of classes outside my required curriculum during the last two semesters that I could be tagged as a second year student now.

Thinking about how I will be away for at least a week again, I also made sure to complete some adventurer missions and visit the room of questions to ensure I got all my responsibilities and money-making sources taken cared of. I sent all the required monetary allowances to my people as well as the businesses that need them this month. My two shadow aides have also gathered all the information they needed and are set to go back to Sklavryet soon to proceed with the business expansion there.

The two weeks went by faster than expected and the day that I will finally be leaving for Eieneos has come. I made sure to give a heads up to Kayden and Lark about my trip through letters. I also sent telepathic messages back to my people in Marahuyo to keep them updates of my activities and plans for the near future. I gave Arthur permission to take as many missions as he wants to earn points with the condition that he keeps the house clean and organized. As for the prince, he simply bid me goodbye but he did not say anything more about the banquet or his issues.

Ioannis' POV

The past two and a half months that Luna was away was the hardest time for me. Being pregnant, I was emotional, uncomfortable, insecure and I just miss her so much. I would have caused a scene and begged for her to come back for sure if I was the immature Kayden or the other dramatic guys but as the main husband, I am expected to be strong and understanding at all times. I know that my wife has very important things that she needed to do and it can't be delayed any further for any reason.

When she came back from her immersion, it was second happiest day I had. I have always been the happiest since I met her but if I would rank it, the night that we first became one will always be the first. The third one may not be so far away. I bet it will happen soon since this child of mine will be coming out soon. Sometimes I wonder if a pregnant person's stomach is supposed to be as big as this. It is really getting hard to even stand, much more to walk.

As I hear a knock on the door of my room, I totally forgot that I have gained a lot of weight due to pregnancy since I was excited to see here. I ran and hugged her tight, my stomach even bumped hers. I got scolded though and my stomach honestly hurt a bit with that bump that just happened. With just a kiss and a hug from her, all the negative feelings I had accumulated for all those times that she was away just melted like they never happened.

Knowing that I will be giving birth in a few weeks, I became a mess of emotions once again. I was feeling a mix of happiness, excitement, fear and worry especially now that I know that I have twins in my belly. No wonder why my stomach is so heavy and sometimes it feels like the churning inside was so intense. I hope these children won't be so naughty as their mother. I can't wait to go back to Eieneos where it was just me and my wife once again.

Aurum's POV

If you asked me about half a year ago about accepting an arranged marriage once I turned 24, I would have just nonchalantly accepted it to honor the agreement I had with my parents. It was funny how in just a few months, I feel like I would rather just kill myself than go through all that. I would rather die than marry somebody else. I will never accept it unless it's her.

I know it's stupid and that I am just deluding myself. What Luna and I have was nothing but a business deal. Everyhing we had was totally anchored on profits and benefits, not at all romantic. I always tell myself that at least, I'm important to her. I always calm myself by thinking that as long as I stay useful and bring her money, she won't throw me away. That much is already enough. All these things I am telling myself are lies.

As a man who is in love with her, I wanted her to accept me romantically, of course. I want her to choose to be with me because of "ME" and not for any other reason or benefit. I want her to look at me lovingly just like how she looks at Ioannis and those other guys she has already taken in. I want all of that and not just scraps. I am envious and jealous but I know that I don't have any right to feel this way.

Dimitri's POV

While my wife is away, I busied myself with my academe classes, homework and managing the properties in Arista. Though my relationship with my wife has become way better than I originally planned, I can't be lax in meeting my part of the deal. I was the one who approached her for that business deal anyways so I have to say useful.

I have already accepted the fact that I was not her first and definitely not her last. I am not her favorite and I couldn't find it in myself to be sweet or expressive of my feelings just to get her to like me more. I am an introvert and a nerd through and through even before I met her. It is not something I can change easily. It's not like her feelings about me will increase if I tried to fight for more attention from her.

I was very surprised as I got into the villa and found my wife sitting at the dining table. I couldn't help but be stunned since seeing her again made me happy though I think it did not show on my face that much. Before I could even greet her properly, I found myself being dragged inside my room. Everything that happened after that was a blissful blur. I wanted to cry, not because I did not want what was happening but because I never thought that my wife wanted me this much.

I was so overwhelmed by my happiness that I just let her do whatever she wanted with me. I never thought I could be thoroughly eaten in just two hours. It felt so amazing that I honestly let go of all my inhibitions and thoroughly enjoyed everything that she made me feel. If she had not healed me up, I won't even be conscious and have the energy to eat dinner. After my fuzzy brain caught up with everything that just happened, all I can do is blush awkwardly while having dinner with the rest of the people in the household.

Arthur's POV

I did not expect that just as I arrive home, I will see my future wife cooking in the kitchen. Yes, I just called my master that. They say you have to claim it for it to happen so no matter how shameless it sounds, I am getting used to calling her that even if it is just in my thoughts for now.

Now that her first husband is pregnant and she just accepted the fourth one, I couldn't help but feel the immense pressure of winning that bet I had with her. I know that it is just her third semester here in the academe but I do not want to risk not having enough points to buy my freedom. I also want to at least be able to get some money as I leave this place to nt be a burden.

Before I met her, I have already accepted the fact that I will continue to live and then die as a slave under the academe. I don't have a family waiting for me outside these walls so it did not matter if I rot here. I have done a lot of nasty things for sure and I have already admitted that I was envious of Ioannis before. I have been punished severely and never thought that I will still be given a chance to pursue her.

I never thought that there will come a day that I will swallow all my pride and even beg for a woman to keep me. My previous horrible experiences have honed me in to somebody who hated women which is indeed weird for someone who works as an attendant. Who would think that just after a few months, I would be so swooned over a woman that I am working so hard to earn points like there is no tomorrow so that I can win her favor at the end of two years!

The other attendants think that I was hopeless and stupid but I simply smiled since they would never understand unless they are in the same situation as me. I don't think they will laugh at me like this if they felt at least half of the desperation I feel right now. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't attaching myself to her to have a better life.

The term "better life" means different to each person. Others think of it as being financially supported. Some see it as being loved by their woman while others just want to be treated at least a bit bet better to what they are experiencing right now. As for me, just being with her will make everything better. I always dream that one day, she will take care of me as much as she takes care of Ioannis.
