Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!-Chapter 360 - Last step to make it official (Part 13)

The next morning, we have another breakfast with another missing person. This time, it was Xenos who was missing at the dining table. We were never complete for the past 3 days.

Since this is the third day that this has been happening, it seems I can no longer avoid the elephant in the room. The first person that actually broke his silence was Aurum. His bravery should have come from the fact that he is the only husband present at the moment.

(Author’s Note: For those who don’t remember, the other four were only given concubine status due to the strict laws of the Athanoviya Royal Family so Luna did not have a choice but to follow it for now.)

As I arrived at the dining table to take my seat, it seemed like Aurum only waited for me to sit before he couldn’t help but ask the question that most of them had on their minds for several days now. He looked at me for a while then sighed. I think this question should be as gossipy as it could ever be.

I saw my in-laws looking at me and Aurum with sparkling eyes as if they have been excitedly waiting for this moment. Aurum finally asked after sighing, "If I understand it right, you have already spent the night with those that have missed at least on breakfast in the palace, correct?"

I continued to eat my meal and gave a nonchalant "hmm" and a nod of my head. Aurum did not react and simply answered a soft, "okay".

I saw Aurum look at his parents who are seated at the other end of the table. They looked really happy with the confirmation I gave. This cute couple have such big hearts that they have accepted my other husbands as their adopted sons as well. Their happiness was the same about the fact that I have accepted Aurum as much as I have accepted his four childhood friends.

They may be attendants in the eyes of others but I knew for a fact that Aurum has always seen them as his own brothers. He also willingly shared his parents with them too.

Just to make sure that all questions are covered, I finally lifted my head from my plate of food. I looked at Yren who was sitting right across the table from where I was seated. freeweɓnovel-cøm

His eyes immediately met mine as if he was waiting for me to take notice of him. I smirked at him and declared, "There is only one person I haven’t visited yet so I plan to do that tonight." I kept my eye contact with Yren as I declared those words.

Once all the questions have been addressed, silence was again present through the remaining time for breakfast. I left the table after the meal as usual with a quick kiss on the lips for each of my husbands then I went back to my room to finish my tasks for the day.

Once evening came, as promised, I knocked on Yren’s door. Unlike the other three husbands, there was total silence from the other end. I tried to sense him and for some reason, I couldn’t sense him at all.

After a few minutes of knocking without any response, I decided to just leave but as I turned around, I heard the door open then an arm snaked around my waist and pulled me in the room in one swift motion.

Before I knew it, I was being pinned with the recently closed door behind me. I could feel an intense heat coming from Yren from the hand that was touching one of my wrists and through my clothes from his arm that was snaked around my waist.

Yren was breathing heavily and his head was burrowed on the crook of my neck. His breaths were spreading on my skin. He honestly looked more in pain than aroused as of the moment.

I was able to easily free myself from Yren’s grasp as I lifted his chin to look into his situation more closely. Something feels wrong about his current status.

As I lifted his chin, I can clearly see his flushed face as well as his half-lidded and misty eyes. He seems to be clouded by lust but at the same time he also looks irritated about something for some reason.

The first time I saw his face, one distant memory immediately swooped into my mind. It was that night somebody knocked on my door in the middle of the night and when I opened it, I was attacked with a fiery but very clumsy and awkward kiss on the lips. That attacker is now taking care of cure pair of twins back in Eieneos. It must be the resonance’s fault again. I think there are just some people who have more adverse reactions than others.

Just when I was about to persuade Yren to calm down, he leaned forward and embraced me tightly. That was when I realized that he was already fully naked. It explains why I felt a sudden poke behind me when he pulled into his arms to enter his room earlier.

I am glad he was highly resonant to me but I am really not a fan of doing it with people who are drunk, drugged or clearly not in their proper mind even if they are already married or in a relationship with me. I hugged him around the waist and lifted him off the ground.

When he felt the sudden lift, he started flailing his limbs around and pushing me. He was constantly whining "no", "let go" and "put me down" one after the other as I walked with him in my arms inside the bathroom. I think cold water would be the best thing to use to wake him up.

When we were about to enter the bathroom, he used both of his arms to grab on to the door frame. I had to stop walking forward as I do not want him to end up with dislocated or broken bones due to his tantrum. I had to pry his hand open, finger by finger, off the door frame to prevent him from getting hurt. I decided against continuing to walk forward and yanking him forcefully off from the place he is gripping on to.

While I was trying to calm him down and make him let go of the door frame, I can hear him whimper and moan but I couldn’t understand it that clearly at first. When I listened more intently, I was able to make out words, phrases and even full question though it sounded like gibberish at first. He seems to be saying "I’m okay", "where are taking me?", "I feel so hot", "this is your fault", "what have you done to me" and lastly, his favorite word, "wife".

He was squirming and fighting back so much that I think he will lose his strength even before we have started to do something worthwhile tonight. Once his hands were already off the door frame, I went straight under the shower, opened the cold water tap and carried him straight under it. I did get wet together with the clothes that I am still wearing but I still got my goal which is to wake him up and cool him off even just a bit.

When the cold water hit his skin, he muttered a long and anguished moan which honestly, broke my heart. He was heaving as if the cold water is torturing him. I immediately wanted to ease his discomfort so I turned the hot water tap as well to warm the water a bit.

We stayed under the shower in a tight embrace for several minutes until Yren got used to the water temperature and the heat of his body dissipated a bit. He seemed to have returned to his usual self finally when his arms loosened around me and then he looked at me in confusion. When he realized we are under the shower with him totally naked in my embrace, he pushed me with all his might and tried to escape. His reactions from seeing me a while ago and seeing me now in the shower were total polar opposites.

He tried to escape me by pushing me away but I did not let him go. I teasingly asked, "Where are you going? You were the one who pulled me in your room and you even removed all your clothes to welcome me. Why are you pretending to be angry now as if I was the one that stripped you?"

He looked at me with eyes that are full of shame, "I- I do not know what happened. I wasn’t- It is not that I am blaming you. I remember pulling you in the room. I removed my clothes because I felt too hot and uncomfortable. The last thing I remembered clearly before that was that after breakfast, my body felt hotter and hotter and I endured it throughout the afternoon. I just felt like my body is being burned from the inside and you were all I could think about. Is this normal or is there something wrong with me?"
