Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!

He sighed heavily at my question and responded, "I am tainted by those evil women back in my hometown. They didn't even spare a young man who hasn't even come of age yet. I wanted to hide those ugly things from you. I don't want you to be disgusted with me. As for confirming if I was an assassin, why is it so important for you to know if I work for Noir or not?"

I smiled at him but chose not to answer his question. I simply asked another question instead, "So what brings you into my room? You didn't even knock and just came in. Even Galen who is my official lover doesn't do that. You even tried touching me. Aren't you being too familiar with me now?"

He looked at me as if stunned. He suddenly looked away and with a slightly panicked voice answered, "I was just surprised to see you here. I was trying to remove a few strands of hair covering your face so I can see you better."

I rolled my eyes at him as an immediate response to his lame reason. I answered lazily, "If you say so, then fine. Now that you've seen my face, do you need anything else?" He looked at me with his cold eyes and suddenly asked, "If you don't find me disgusting, would it be alright to bring the plans of having a child earlier than discussed?"

I stared at him intensely, gauging how serious he was with his offer. Ross also kept his eye contact with me, staring at me with the same intensity. After a few seconds, I sighed and clicked my tongue in frustration.

He then added, "I don't want the second option for pregnancy where the child grows in some machine you have. I want to carry it to term." I looked at him with furrowed brows since he just made everything more complicated all of a sudden.

I reached for the side of his head and placed an earring on the upper rim of his right ear. He winced a bit as if expecting that I will hit him or something. I clarified, "Your body isn't strong enough to carry my child. I just placed an earring on your ear and please never take it off. It's invisible anyways so don't worry about it. Take the pills I placed inside that storage earring daily for three months and we'll talk about how to proceed from then."

He lifted his right hand and tried to feel where the earring was. He closed his eyes and called for one of the pills I placed inside. He popped one inside his mouth right in front of me. He swallowed it without water then smirked at me and said, "There, I already took the first one. You can't back out from this deal anymore."

I shook my head with a smile on my face. I suddenly grabbed Ross and wrestled him on to my bed. I rolled on top of him, locking him between my legs and arms. He looked stunned at how our position suddenly changed to something more lewd.

After a few seconds, I saw him blush furiously. I never saw him flustered before. He always looked cold and detached from everything. He does smile a bit but only to people he liked to talk with.

He then asked, his voice shaking, "Why- What are you trying to- This position- I-" I smirked at him naughtily and replied, "How would I answer if none of your questions are complete?"

Well, did he really think that just because we will talk about having a child in three months, we won't start practicing how to make one, didn't he?

******** ******** ********

At midnight, I stealthily left my room in Kama, leaving the obviously tired and deeply asleep Ross on the bed. Work is work so even if I want to cuddle some more and wake up next to him the next morning, there are people that need some urgent rescuing right now.

Using the memories I have seen in Chandler's mind before, I brought a small team of 10 assassins in a secluded area about half a kilometer away from the gates of Viridis Kingdom. This is exactly the hiding place shown in Chandler's memory before he passed out and was taken into the slave trader's carriage to Sklavryet.

Since the area around Viridis is a sandy desert, the ten assassins that came with me are wearing the same color as the sand in the area. I found it quite weird actually since these people usually wear black. As for me, I have casted an invisibility spell on myself and a stealth spell on all of us to hide any sound, aura or scent that we may emit.

We scouted the walls of Viridis Kingdom for half an hour and honestly, it doesn't look that secure at all. After sneaking around, we found a part of the wall in the northwest corner that has a huge crack and a hole that can fit a single person. It seems their last war with Crimson have drained their funds as well as the number of able bodied citizens. They couldn't even fix the darn wall.

Though my goal is to rescue the eldest prince of the fallen Crimson Kingdom and some of their citizens who are imprisoned as war slaves here, I have another personal mission I set for myself too. I promised Richard a little bit of revenge so here I am acting on it.

It may sound harsh because not all people in Viridis Kingdom are evil but how about the people from Crimson that died, those that were displaced and lost their homes and those that were taken as war slaves. Aren't they innocent too? It's just an eye for an eye at this time.

Once we are inside the walls, I closed my eyes and spread a low frequency mystique mana to scan the whole kingdom and map it in my head. It was my hobby and it makes teleporting easier. This time I tried to sense every living person here as well.

It took me about 10 minutes to scan the whole area, map it and make a population count. The kingdom is quite huge with a population of roughly 700,000. It includes women, men, children and slaves, both human and non-human. I have marked some shady places that looked like prisons, slave auction houses or dungeons in the map, made a physical copy of it and gave it to each member of the team.

We divided the whole area into 6 parts. Each part will have a duo of assassins handling it and the last part which is the main palace will be handled by me alone. I also gave them teleportarion orbs so they can teleport the rescued people out safely and immediately.

The teleportation portal will be in a pre-chosen and secluded place in Sklavryet where medics, healers and doctors were waiting. Once they cleared their assigned areas, they are instructed to go back to Sklavryet to handle their mission reports and not dawdle around in other places.

I gave instructions to the ten assassins that accepted this mission with me that they need to go to all the places I marked red on the map where slaves were highly likely to be kept. It does not matter if they are from Crimson or not. We will all take them away from this hell hole tonight. As for me, I told them that I have another mission to complete before proceeding to the main palace. As the ten assassins dispersed, I started moving to my target areas as well.

As for me, my map is tagged quite differently. I made my way to the marked areas that have blue dots on them. It represents each and every water well in this kingdom. I dropped a potent amount of poison in each that would automatically lose its potency within 24 hours. It doesn't kill people but it sure will give those who would drink the water a very bad tummy ache and diarrhea for at least three days. It is a petty revenge but I don't want their lives to end just like that. They have to suffer a bit just like the slaves they were keeping.

After I am done with all the water wells, I went to the green dots in the map which represents all the farms, orchards and ranches in this kingdom. Once I arrived on each one, I used my attributal mana to drain life out of the soil from all of the fields. It should cause a strain in their food production from this harvest onwards.

Since I am petty, I also took all the farm animals they have and kept it in my storage space for living things. I took every single farm animal, even their eggs and offspring. This just became more of a heist than a rescue mission now. I will have these placed in the farm in Arista or some place that have better use for them.

For the orchards, I used time speed up magic to ripen the fruits faster and then harvested all of them. My last stop was the huge yellow dot which represents the food storage facility. I don't plan to steal anything from there but I tinkered a bit on how fast time flows inside it too. It will cause things to rot faster than usual.

Once I am done with my little meddling with this evil kingdom, I finally went inside the main palace where their current royal family lives in. I started spreading a formless and scentless poison I have created through alchemy to make all the people inside this place enter a deep sleep state.

I plan to deal with this evil family that bullied my men later. I have to prioritize things first so I followed the map and went to the lowest floor of this place where the palace dungeon is located. They should be keeping their most important and at the same time their most dangerous people down there. It is weird but I can't help but get excited on what and who I would find there.
