Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?! Chapter 404 - There is no turning back

I sighed helplessly at how pitiful he looks laying weak like that. He looked so uncomfortable and in pain. I started cursing again in my head but this ti it was towards the idea of resonance itself. I got distracted with my irritation though because I couldn’t help but rember a similar instance by the lake (Author’s Note: See Chapter 171 if you don’t rember) and I started to feel a headache coming in.

I walked slowly towards where he was laying and as expected, when I drew nearer to him, his heaving beca more intense. His body’s reaction was quite strong to my presence. He was shivering as I saw him struggle to go back to the water to soak himself again. As his limbs have already weakened, he can barely move and eventually his hand slipped from the rock that he is leaning on to and he fell straight to the shallow area of the lake.

Sure, it was shallow but for soone who has weakened limbs and already have trouble with just breathing alone, it must have been similar to the feeling of swimming with both your legs having really bad cramps. I waited for a few seconds and his head finally bobbed out of the water surface. He was gasping for air and I can see his eyes were red and teary. I was staring at him and after a while, he finally noticed my presence by the shore.

His eyes showed surprised at first and then helplessness. I thought he would ask for help but as if he has already convinced himself that I did not care about his life and death, I saw him struggle to keep himself afloat and to swim towards the shore. Well, let’s just say that his mind was willing but his body, not so much as he isn’t moving that much towards the shore right now.

After barely a minute of struggling, he started bobbing up and down the water. I shouted at him teasingly, "If I save you right now, you are mine for life. Are you willing?"

Even while struggling, I saw him look my way and I heard him curse, "Damn it! Glug... I am drowning here and you just have to- Glug... blackmail like that! Heartless! Glug... Glug... Cruel! My body being like this- Glug... Is this your fault?! Glug... Ahh! Fuck! Just help already! Glug..."

I laughed out loud at how grumpy he was even when he is already drowning. I heard his flapping in the water beco more urgent and loud so I got him out of his predicant by using my mana to fish him out. It seems like he is still in his right mind and resonance has not ssed him up that much. Or so I thought...

After he floated out of the water, he coughed a bit and gasped greedily for air. He was glaring at as if I was the one that pushed him into the water. I looked at him with one of my eyebrows raised, "Bla yourself for resonating to . Why are you blaming ? I did not push you in the water, you know?"

He was still glaring at as he said, "If you knew I was resonating with you, why are you avoiding ? You even watched as I was drowning little by little. You are so an!"

I chuckled again and then dropped him back to the lake with a plop but still made sure that his head stays above the water. He started flapping in the water in panic and he even scread, "Hey! Why are you throwing back?! No! Please! I accept! I’m all yours! I agree! You are the kindest! You are the most beautiful! Have rcy!"

I laughed out loud at how he suddenly beca a smooth talker when he was just a grumpy and drenched puppy a while ago. I teased him further as I lowered him further in the water, this ti, the water reached just below his lips as I asked, "I don’t believe you. You are just saying that because you are afraid of drowning. I don’t want to force you or anything."

He scread in frustration as he said, "Aaarrrgghh! I am not being forced. I am already attracted to you the first ti I saw you and that was even at a ti that I only saw your back! Please let out of the water!"

With a naughty smile, I finally plucked him out of the water and placed him gently on the shore near . He looked up at from his slumped position and I thought he would nag again but he started heaving again and his eyes beca half-lidded and dazed. Oh, I forgot to keep a certain distance from him.

Though his legs were weak, he imdiately tried to close the distance between us further as he literally crawled on the ground towards . I stepped back a few tis to avoid his approach and his body eventually slumped on the ground due to fatigue and muscle weakness from the resonance.

Now, the question remains, "What am I going to do about this situation?"

I looked behind and rembered that the cave was still there. I picked up Quintin and placed him on my left shoulder like a sack of rice. He laid limply on without complaints as his body bounced while I was waking towards the cave,

After entering the cave, I chose one of the spacious and clean rooms inside the cave and started placing soft carpets, a huge bed, soft cushions, sheets, blankets and even pillows around. Since Quintin has already washed up quite well in the lake, I stripped him of all his clothes, dried him with so towels and then slid him on the bed then covered him with the blankets.

As if he suddenly went crazy, right after I placed him under the blankets, he grabbed my hand and started pulling under the blankets as well like so kind of a tease. When he couldn’t pull , he placed my hand on his chest then started dragging it down his torso towards the area between his legs.

I may have been able to not go through everything with Claude because I chose him on my own and not through resonance but this is a totally different case. Quintin is in front of because of resonance.

Ugh. This guy has really lost it, asking for it by directly seducing like this while here I am, trying my best not to act on pure instincts.
