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

Looking at Void, I can't help but be amused at his sudden cowardice. I thought he was quite brave, even purposely putting the meeting with his father at the end of the list of things to do today. We even went around like we were having a leisurely date throughout the territory as if nobody is waiting for us here in the palace. Here we are though, with Void hiding behind me as if fearing that his father will hit him as punishment.

The dark elf king, Eirsolin coughed embarassedly as he greeted me. I accepted his greeting and also greeted him with respect since I am technically inside his territory. He has a smile plastered on his face while addressing me but I can see the glare he was giving Void whenever his eyes laid on him in passing. He immediately called for some attendants to serve some refreshments then led me to his personal chambers used to entertain guests.

I followed him obediently and took a seat in one of the comfortable chairs. Having looked around the palace earlier and now seeing the personal chambers of the king, I can see that they have tried to still keep the palace looking presentable for guests but compared to my inherited memories, the opulence and grandeur of the days past were all gone. They must have sold off most of the valuables to tide over the day to day needs of all his people which made him get more plus points as a father-in-law and as a leader in my heart.

He must have noticed my silence but he looked unsure as to how to start the conversation so he simply looked at me wearily while signaling his son through his eyes to talk about something or tell him what my sudden visit was for. As for Void, he looked away, avoiding his father's eyes and simply pretended to be clueless of the reason. I looked at them in amusement and I would have laughed out loud if I was not meeting them as a royal representative of another kingdom today.

I smiled and started talking, "It was nice to meet you again, King Eirsolin. The last time we met is when you visited me in the academe a few months ago. How has everything been here in your territory?"

He looked at me and gave me a polite smile then responded, "I do apologize if I was not able to visit you again after that. Managing a sanctuary and making sure every member of my race gets what they needed is a very challenging thing to do nowadays. My daily tasks as king have always took up most of my time."

I nodded to him in understanding. There was a few moments of awkward silence since we really do not have much to talk about since we are barely acquaintances. Seeing that I was not talking about the the much awaited reason for my visit, Void had the audacity to hit me with his elbow while sitting next to me. As expected, his father with widened eyes berated him for his so called "insolence".

I simply calmed him down and told him that I do not mind. I looked at Void while he stared back at me as if begging for me to just talk about it. I smirked at him and continued staring at him in a teasing manner as if waiting for him to feel even more uncomfortable. He did not disappoint me as he looked increasingly aggrieved as if he was about to cry.

I noticed my future father-in-law looking at us in confusion staring at me and then his son back and forth. I turned my head and looked at him with a smile. I then started speaking again but not about what Void expected to hear, "King Eirsolin, I actually came to look around your territory so I can map the area and create a new living area for your people in the new world tree realm. Your son have been very helpful and diligent in completing the tasks I have assigned to him that this is the least I could do."

I saw the genuine surprise on King Eirsolin's face and then he started thanking me profusely in advance for thinking about the well-being of his people. As for Void, he looked down and stayed quiet. I saw his hands fidgeting uncomfortably seemingly nervous.

I asked my future father-in-law about other things that his people might need and though he looked nervously, he answered me as honestly as possible which I highly appreciated. Noticing his insolent son suddenly becoming quiet when he should have been making sure to report what the sanctuary needed, he called on to him.

Void, as if being shaken awake from his thoughts, looked up to look at his father totally forgetting his eyes that are started to turn red and was about to cry. His father looked at him in confusion as to why he is starting to be childish as if he was bullied out of the blue. I stared at him and when Void noticed me looking at him, his looked away to try to hid his feelings showing on his normally cold face.

Thinking that I have teased him enough, I addressed King Eirsolin which surprised him, "Father-in-law, please excuse me." Before the king could react on what I just said, I gripped the back of Void's head to turn his gaze towards me then gave him a lingering smack on his lips. He stiffened at first but knowing this pervert's almost non-existent will to resist, he kissed back hungrily totally forgetting that we are in front of his father.

Though I did not intend to show others some of our intimate interactions, I had no choice but to grab Void's hair and pull it back a bit to snap him out of his lewd thoughts and stop the kiss. being out of control, he looked at me as if I bullied him and tried to get away from my hand that was gripping his hair murmuring, "I want more" repeatedly.

I looked at King Eirsolin and smiled while gesturing at his son that has obviously lost all control and sense of propriety, "The other thing I want to talk about is this." He looked at me with widened eyes then he furrowed his brows but did not respond.

To clear up further I said, "I would want to ask your permission to take in your only son as my official partner. This is what I was trying to say." As if hearing a magic word, Void stopped struggling as he regained his senses. He tapped my hand to tell me to release my grip which I did almost immediately.

He coughed to get his father's attention and clarified, "Before you berate me, we have not done everything. I wanted to do so but she always refused me since she wants to ask your permission first. Honestly, I don't think it was needed at all but I have to respect her wishes."

I heard my father-in-law scoff but he chose to respond to me instead, "Your highness, I know that may son may lack a lot of things but he is pure and he has talked several times about how much he likes to be yours. I do not have any plans to block your union but I would just like to ask a favor for you to take care of my son and be more patient with him since he is honestly a huge pain most of the time."

Instead of defending Void, I ended up letting go of the laugh I was trying to keep in from the start of our meeting. Void looked at me as if he was hurt deeply then he addressed his father, "Father, are you trying to support our union or are you actually trying to discredit me so my wife will despise and leave me? Am I really your son?"

My father-in-law scoffed again but this time he glared at Void and looked him up and down then he smirked. This look has proven effective as Void ended up ranting even further and complaining to me as if looking for someone who would defend him."

I stood up and walked towards the place where my father-in-law was sitting and sat beside him, ignoring Void's complaints. I then placed a barrier around the King Eirsolin and me since this time we will be talking as leaders of our territories. I asked him how soon can his people move and he said that they don't own many things so they can ove anytime.

We talked about other boring things and he reported certain managerial issues and other problems he is facing as of the moment and I gave him some insights that he could use as reference to resolve them. I also gave him an overview of the rules that the new world tree realm will implement especially the need to pay rent and he had no issues about it. I promised to come again to pick him up once the time to move has arrived.

as we were talking, Void kept on knocking on the barrier complaining why he isn't included in our conversations. I looked at him and lifted my hand so that the pouch that Void kept in his waist flies to my hand. I politely gave it to my father-in-law and told him that this is their assigned sustenance for the month. Lastly, I gave my promise to take care of his child but as of now, he has to order him to stay within the territory to help in the preparations of moving to the new world tree realm.

I bid my goodbye then gave a smile to Void. I nodded towards my father-in-law again and then teleported back to Marahuyo. Since we are trying to push the plans forward in a quicker pace, we have to push through with that rescue since there are so many other things that I have to do.
