Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!
Chapter 45 - 45 - Preparations are now complete

I have secured a means to get all the information I need without doing anything and also a way to expedite the process of registration whenever I need it. Everything was done efficiently and nobody knows the great things I have planned with Izuku and Feivel.

I sent a message to the communicators just to make sure they can receive it and respond to me. I got an "Okay" from Feivel, an "I'm here" from Izuku, and a "Wow" from Kayden. Ugh. I should have given an earring to Ioannis too. I miss him so bad and would love to get a message from him too. I'll make sure to give him one once I am back at the academe. I don't care if we are in the same area, I would never get tired of hearing his voice.

I went back to the inn and gave a list of things I have accomplished while I was away to the little drama queen I left behind this morning. He was pouting a bit since its was way past lunch time when I came back. A hungry husband (he's technically the wife in this relationship) is always grumpy so I brought him out to eat lunch at Miren (the "just okay" restaurant) and ordered all the food that he liked from the menu to make him feel better. I watched him stuff himself with food to vent his frustration from being left alone. I wonder what his reaction will be once I tell him I need to leave for a longer time.

Once he's full, the drama queen is now smiling and clingy again. He thanked me for feeding him delicious food. I don't find it delicious but as long as he is happy then all is well. We went back to the inn while holding hands since he requested it. He is so silly. Did he forget that we have an illusion spell up whenever we come out. Currently, we look like a middle-aged unassuming couple who is just having a stroll. I still indulged him with his whims.

Since he's full and contented and we have gone back to our room at the inn, it is time for the heavy stuff. I hope there is no incoming tantrum.

I told him that I will be away for about 2 days using a matter-of-factly tone. I wanted him to know that I would go and nobody can change my mind. He looked at me for a few seconds, nodded his head and looked down. Aww! You cutie. You are trying to stay behaved because I fed you well, huh?

I have already told him about my plans and itinerary for this week before but it seems that when it's really time for me to leave, it still stings differently to him. He has grown quite dependent on me during the days we were together. After almost a minute of full silence between us, he then looked up, tried his luck and said "Can I come with you to your hometown?" I gave him a helpless smile and responded, "Not at this time. Things are quite complicated back in my hometown right now. When everything is in place, I'll bring you there."

You remember that spell I put on Ioannis to gradually change his body in to a mystique so he can match my lifespan and my body's stamina? I cast that to Kayden as well. Once they are "deified" and things in Eieneos are somewhat better, I'll bring them there for a tour.

I asked him if he wanted to stay at the inn till I come back but he said he has to go back to the entertainment district to earn money. I told him that he can just rest and I have enough money for the inn and keep him fed while I'm away but he said that he can earn his keep. I smiled at him and told him, "So you noticed?" He stared in my eyes and said, "Yes. You only keep useful people and not the only useful in the bedroom type, right?" He's smart and got it without me explaining it. I then told him, "Show me what other benefits you can bring to me. I will reward you handsomely if I am satisfied." He then nodded with a kind of rekindled bravery in his eyes.

Since I did not need to bring anything with me (everything's in my personal storage), I gave Kayden the task to check out from the inn and then made sure that the earring I gave him has all the right features. The one I gave him is a bit different though since he's not just a subordinate but my second husband. His earring has 3 main features unlike the ones I gave Izuku and Feivel which has only 2. His earring is a storage device, a communicator, and has several spells for defense which will trigger if any danger is detected. I don't want anything to happen to him while I was away. I explained to him its features and advised him that he should still be careful and don't purposely go to dangerous places and meet dangerous people. I gave him some allowance money just like a good wife I am and a promise that I will meet with him once I am back in Hoffen so we can spend time together before the classes starts at the academe. I then started focusing on my memories to figure out how to go to my hometown.

Kayden's POV

This was that dreaded time I always had in my mind. We may have completed the blood ritual on that wooden plank but it doesn't diminish my fear of being abandoned in the slightest. I am quite sure I am not the only man in the world who feels this way. I understand I'm luckier than most since Luna treats me well and she did not even flinch when she completed the ritual to link our souls but the fact remains, "She's leaving me behind".

I honestly wanted to cry but I had to keep it in. I have been pretending to be weak all this time just like the things my father did for my mother that I hated. With the tone of voice she is using, no amount of begging or crying will work. This is what she has set to do even before we met and I don't want her to feel like I'm hindering her in any way. I still tried my luck and asked if I can go with her but she declined. Now, I really want to cry. At least, she promised she will bring me there someday.

My insecurities are eating me up again. I am not her first and I am quite sure I am not going to be her last either. She just went out this morning and already met an "Izuku" and a "Feivel". They seemed to be useful to her goals so she did not hesitate to take them in as her subordinates. That is, FOR NOW. With how amazing and beautiful she is, I'm quite sure those two will end up in her harem in the future. Maybe not a husband but definitely a confidant of some sort. I am betting my life on that.

Now that I remember, there were four more! Those guys she visited and watched shows of in the entertainment district should be looking for her as well. My gut is never wrong. I did my research because if a man wants to survive in a harem, you have to know your rivals! I paid a lot of money to "Noir" which was an underground group of assassins and spies. They would work on any request as long as you pay the right price. As per their research, those four are living double lives. That blind masseur, Aurum was a prince. The nude art model, Keeran was connected to the magic tower. That blade dancer, Caius was a decorated general in the Northern Army. That singer, Lark seems to be similar to me: an illegitimate child of some noble but in hiding.

While observing Luna, I noticed that she seems to dislike men that are only useful in bed seeing that she never went to the red light district as per the stories she told me when we were getting to know each other better. If I stay here like some boy toy, I will really end up abandoned. I then decided to go back to the entertainment district while she is away to earn my own money. I will also have to find my father and discuss Luna's offer of including us in her family registry since my mother don't have any plans to do that for us. I also want to tell him stories about the progress in our relationship. I am quite sure he will be happy for me and will tell me some useful bedroom techniques. I have to learn those diligently while I only have one actual rival as of now.

I wasn't lying when I said that my hometown situation was complicated since I don't even know what is left of Eieneos once all the people taking care of that place disappeared more than four centuries ago. That's right. You read it right, 400+YEARS.
