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

After leaving the Magic Tower grandmaster's office, I went back straight to my villa in the academe. Since it is almost dinner time and coincidentally a Friday too, everybody living in the villa is present at the dining table, waiting for the meal to be served.

When I appeared in the living room, Dimitri was the first one to instantly look my way. The others, whom by previous experience knew that the only thing that catches the guy's attention is anything that is connected to me, followed Dimitri's line of sight.

Arthur immediately greeted me a "Good evening, master" and went back to the kitchen to get an extra plate for me as well as continue cooking the other dishes. I sat on my designated seat at the head of the dining table but chose to not speak for now.

Everybody else who were sitting around the table was looking at me, as if waiting for me to announce something. The silence extended for several more minutes with me ignoring their stares. As usual, Aurum was the first one who couldn't take the silence and asked, "Where have you been?"

I looked at him and asked back, "Don't you have any other questions that you think of asking me first whenever we meet?" Aurum looked at me, stunned. He then asked me another question, "Do you want me to ask which man you visited recently or if you took another lover while you are away instead?"

I looked at him for a few seconds and then I couldn't help but scoff. He then scoffed back and asked, "What is so funny?!" I immediately answered, "You". He then scowled and murmured, "I hate you."

I raised my eyebrow and decided to tease him as revenge. I responded in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, I see that you hate me now. I will tell my in-laws about it then so that we don't have to waste all our time on the ritual. I am not a fan of forcing people into marrying me. I can still cancel the paperwork in the family registration office."

He looked at me in disbelief and as expected, his attendants, now my official concubines, have been waiting for this chance to add insult to his injury. Yren, Helios, Calyx and Xenos said "I am willing" one by one, respectively. Dimitri who was drinking his juice choked on his drink and I heard him laugh for the first time in a long while.

Aurum looked at his attendants then at Dimitri. With an aggrieved tone, he complained, "You four have changed sides so quickly! You, Dimitri, I thought we are brothers sharing the same fate. You are all ganging up on me instead!"

His four attendants snickered while Dimitri covered his mouth to control his giggles but his face started to turn red from keeping it in. I stood up and then walked towards the seat where Aurum was seated. I grabbed him by the back of his collar and pulled him towards my study. He gasped and then started begging, "I am sorry. I will no longer ask such questions. Wait... Why are you pulling so roughly... Wife!"

His voice was eventually drowned out and can no longer be heard by others after the room of my study closed behind us. I continued to pull him inside and then pushed him to sit on the sofa.

I sat across him with a loud thud as my bottom hit the seat. I asked with a cold tone, "What are you trying to do here? Are you trying to create strife, factions or maybe you just love drama? Are you trying to control where I go or who I meet? Is how I am seeing this all correct?"

Aurum opened his mouth but then closed it again as if realizing that my question is a trap and whatever answer he provides will put him in deeper trouble. He simply shook his head vehemently while keeping his head down like a scolded child.

I continued talking but still using the same cold tone, "I know you have lived as a prince all your life and even became the crown prince for quite some time. You have a lot of servants and even those four are at your beck and call. You like to complain and nag a lot but nobody contradicts what you say since again, you are a prince. If you are playing positions with me then I just want to say that I myself am a QUEEN and this is MY house. You are my supposed FIFTH husband and I did not force you to be in this family setup. YOU asked me to marry you out of your own free will. I told you about my mission and you said that you understand as well as declared your willingness to still be my husband. Did all of those words you said before just lies?"

Aurum's head snapped up and he stared at me as if he was accused unjustly. He then shook his head weakly and this time, he looked like he was about to cry. I raised one of my eyebrows, "Don't you dare use tears to get out of this, Aurum. Kayden and Lark have numbed me with all of their crying. I just want to remind you that we have not been officially married yet in the rituals of the Athanoviya's royal family. I can still return you to your parents if you do not like how I do things in my family. Do you want to go back?"

Aurum looked down again and tears started falling on the back of his hands that he placed on his lap. He stopped himself from making any sobbing sounds but when he spoke, the sound of his voice breaking gave him away, "No. I don't want to go back to my parents. I'm sorry, please. I won't be too demanding in the future. I won't nag anymore or ask for too much. I... just... please..."

I suddenly smiled at him and for some reason, he suddenly paled, most likely out of nervousness and fear. I stood up and grabbed him by the collar again. I then dragged him towards the door but instead of bringing him out, I playfully pushed him back on the wall beside it then kissed him fiercely until he was about to pass out.

I stopped the kiss when his knees ended up buckling, I supported his weight by putting one of my arms around his waist. His head leaned forward and his chin landed on my shoulder. He's gasping for air, totally speechless.

Before he has fully recovered his breaths, I pulled his hair so his lips were in front of mine and kissed him fiercely again even nibbling his lower lip once in a while. This time, my hands started roaming around his body and my right knee started kneading the area between his legs, right where his jewels and his perineum were. It elicited gasps and soft moans from Aurum but he did not try to stop me in any way from doing those things to his body.

I stopped the kiss again and everything I was doing right before he was about to pass out. He was gasping for air and he ended up leaning towards my body again. I whispered next to his ear, "Since you have so many of these so called grievances, this is a glimpse of all the things I will be doing to make up to you once everything's official. Would that be alright?"

I nibbled his earlobe mischievously after teasing him and it made him pull on my clothes tighter. He was still trying his best to get his breathing rhythm back but I still heard him murmur, "Ye- Yes." That helpless and submissive sounding answer really made me heat up.

I started making a few pecks on his jaw, down his neck then pulled his collar to the side so his collarbone will show a bit. I placed a hickey on a part of his collarbone that can't be easily seen by others. He whined as he felt my lips marking his skin.

I would have loved to kiss him breathless again but I don't want him to pass out on me or make his lips even more swollen than they already are. I placed Aurum back on the cushioned seats as I waited for him to regulate his breathing a bit more.

It took about 15 minutes for him to feel better though I did not have any intention of healing his swollen lips or removing the hickey I just made. I don't regret those since I did those to try and tame my own heat.

I assisted him in standing up then I held his hand tightly as we exited my study way more calmly than the way we entered earlier. My face was devoid of any emotion as we both went back to our designated seats around the dining table. Everyone is already seated by this time and waiting for us to come out of the study so we can all start eating.

Aurum was looking down but his neck and even his ears were red from embarrassment. Dimitri was looking at me with a knowing smile. I telepathically told him that I just kissed the guy a few times and nothing else. Dimitri nodded in understanding then he chuckled.

As for Aurum's four attendants, they stared at him while chuckling too which made the guy in question even redder. Yren then looked at me and said with an innocent tone and expression, "Wife, whatever you did to make this guy shut up was very effective. Keep up the good work!"

I don't know if I should laugh or not about what Yren just said and the reaction of the others about our short conflict resolution inside my study. It was obvious that Aurum is already melting from embarrassment. Me as the one who bullied him, actually received such high praises instead which made everything funnier.
