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

Chapter 692 - A Certain Arrangement (Part 1)

Darth continued his futile attempt to pull his wrists out of my hands. I made sure not to squeeze too much but at the same time, just keeping my hands steady and immovable. I don’t think he even remembers at this point that I am not human so my strength is way more than his.After a few minutes and after he seemed to have used up most of his energy, he finally stopped. He grumpily complained, "Let me go! You’re so mean to me! I have the right to hit you a few more times just to get even!"

I chuckled at him and replied, "Only my husbands are allowed to hit me." He stiffened at my comment, his face turning gloomy then he looked down. I then added in a teasing tone, "Are you applying to be my husband?"

His head immediately snapped up, his eyes teary as he asked, "Are you going to accept me even if I was marked by accident? I would accept it even if it is just out of pity."

I rolled my eyes at his questions then I sighed. I gently let go of his wrists and asked, "I just need a yes or a no. As for pity, who knows if I would or I wouldn’t."

He stared at me wordlessly for several seconds then tightly shut his eyes for a bit as if swallowing some grievances. When he opened his eyes, there was no longer sadness or fear, just some type of conviction on a decision that has already been made. I looked at him with one of my eyebrows raised as if asking, "So, what will your decision be?"

He sighed and asked with a more steady voice than earlier, "Are you planning to keep me as a husband or just a lover? Will I be someone who can never be seen with you in public?"

I looked at him with an amused smile and replied, "Are you willing to take on any kind of role I give you? Isn’t that an attack to your pride or whatever values you may have as a priest?"

Darth scoffed and replied with a soft voice, "At this point, pride can’t give me a wife or a family of my own. It definitely won’t help me turn my life for the better as well. What’s the matter with swallowing my pride? It is only hard to do it for the first few times. I’ll just have to get used to it until it no longer bothers me."

I clicked my tongue at his answer and then scoffed, "I don’t keep lovers whether hidden or in the open right now. I only ever had fiancés and husbands. I think I won’t be able to help you."

Darth’s mouth opened as if in shock but no words came out. His face turning red gradually but I bet it was not because he was blushing. He quickly stood up from his seat and with a loud voice, "Do you think I want this arrangement? I was marked by you although I know we both did not expect it to happen! I no longer have control of my body, my thoughts or my feelings towards you so I came here lowering myself. I always thought that if I find the woman for me, I would no longer be alone. I guess I am the one paying for all the nasty things this church and my ancestors have done so I am meant to be miserable for life!"

He started walking briskly towards the door in anger. I waved my hand to lock the door so he can’t leave while I stayed seated on the couch. When he reached the door, he started pulling on the door handle with all his might to open the door but it wouldn’t budge.

Realizing that he was stuck, he stomped one foot angrily and turned around to glare at me. He ordered me to open the door and let him out that instant but I answered with a short, "Nope."

Oh, did I forget to say that an hour outside is four hours inside this room after I did a little tinkering? I have all the time in the world to listen to his complaints, watch his drama and enjoy his tantrums.

I told him to come and sit back down so we could talk. Having no choice but to stay, he walked with heavy steps back to the center of the waiting room and slumped back on the couch. This time, he sat away from me as if he was rebelling . I simply chuckled at his tiny attempt at angering me which is actually ineffective.

When he was finally seated, with a more calm and serious tone, I said, "I just got married and I have no plans to marry another person just yet." Instead of an outburst earlier which I expected, Darth’s face stared blankly at me. He asked me his own question, "So, what am I supposed to do then?"

I replied with the same tone, "I have to leave by early tomorrow morning to get to my original destination to complete my academic immersion. I would be staying there for several weeks to about 3 months at most. If you still want to be with me after all that time, send me a message and I will come back for you to take you in."

I stared at Darth, waiting for his responses. His earlier blank stare towards me slowly changed as he realized what I just said. He then asked, "Is this your way of making sure that I am not just forcing myself due to the circumstances?" I replied with a soft hum to confirm that his understanding was correct.

He then added, "Are you also doing this so as not to make that bastard feel unimportant so you do not want to marry me shortly after you married him?" I stared at him for a few seconds with a calm face but in my head I couldn’t help but praise how astute he was. I didn’t even have to explain it directly and he understood my intentions easily. I replied with another hum, this time with a little dip in my tone and a small smile on my face.
