Inheriting a Lost Bloodline, My First Task is to have heirs?!
Chapter 680 - Picking Up the Groom
As I walked out of my room wearing the ritual clothing for marriages in this place, I could not avoid walking past several staff priests that were also walking along the corridors. What is noticeable though is how frequent I passed by them and the number of people who were in the nearby corridors near the stairs leading to my quarters. It was as if they were waiting for me all this time for some reason.
When I looked at them, they scattered away like birds taking flight. It became even more obvious that they were only waiting for me to come down the stairs and they aren’t really doing anything worthwhile being around here.
I continued walking to the main staircase going up the publicly known second floor of the temple to fetch my groom who is currently on tantrum mode from his room. Just before I went up the stairs, I did not forget to cut Mr. Purple Dragon’s spying view from me for privacy purposes.
I did give him a clue when I passed by some of those priests in the hallways. If he really wanted to know where exactly I was, he can start from that information then. Though, I am quite sure there are several other churches and religions in this world that wear similar priests garbs though so good luck to him on that.
After a few minutes, I finally reached the door of Clarence’s room. I knocked gently for a few times and just waited for him to let me in. I haven’t even finished my first set of knocks when I heard the flurry of steps approaching the door.
In one swoop, the door was opened wide. He peeked out of the hallways and een looked left and right to confirm that I was alone. When he has confirmed it, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me inside his room then slammed the door shut behind us.
He continued walking towards the inner part of his room until we reached his bed then he made me sit on its edge. He let go of my wrist and sat next to me.
I heard a loud sigh before he asked, "So that guy accompanied you to the forest, huh? Then he just had to pass out with that weak body of his and had to be carried." Clarence then clicked his tongue after his comment.
I started telling him the things that happened before I had to carry the unconscious guy back to the temple. I explained that I prioritized efficiency so I just carried him around while completing my tasks so I can come back on time for the wedding. I also told him that it was indeed Darth’s idea to accompany me as he is already waiting at the foot of the mountain when I came down.
Clarence listened intently and nodded once in a while to show me that he understood the situation. After the little storytelling, he stood up and started undressing in front of me until he is only in his inner clothes (underwear)!
I was speechless as I did not know that priests would be this shameless. I simply watched him though with calm eyes and did not stop him on whatever he is trying to do. Everything about him is already mine anyways. Since he did not get his intended reaction from me, Clarence clicked his tongue again then started dressing up in his wedding garbs quickly.
While he is grumpily preparing for the wedding, I started chuckling at his attempt to get a reaction from me by undressing. It was not like he is my first husband so I do not understand the point of it all. I have seen naked mem before. Is he trying to shock me or something?
When he heard me chuckling, he turned around and glared at me. With gritted teeth, he said, "You are still very much going to carry me to the wedding hall!"
I nodded my head with a doting smile on my face. I urged him to hurry preparing before his grandfather starts looking for us because we were getting late. Upon hearing the possibility of his own grandfather knocking at his doors and scolding him, Clarence’s movements visibly became faster.
He finished the rest of his preparations in just under 10 minutes. I did not know that using his grandfather as a threat would be this effective. Their love and hate relationship is really cute.
After he was done preparing, he honestly looked quite different. It is not that he looked like a different person but it just that his aura changed and became more respectable. If only not for the fact that he is glaring at me still, he would be even more gorgeous.
I sighed helpless and extended my arms forward. When he saw what I just did, his eyes widened and then he ran towards me like a child. I bent down a bit and then carried him like a princess out of his room. I can’t thank enough that my body is strong or else I don’t know what I would do with these big babies of mine.
I know this roles of this world is quite interchanged compared to my previous one but I did not expect that it would be in every aspect really. I used to think that the males would only take the pregnancy part then on everything else they would act the same way but... NOPE. NOT AT ALL.
If that was really the case, I will still be the normal bride and they will be the one carrying me. I will be the one busy with arranging the wedding ceremonies until I turn into a bridezilla or something which I never had the chance to do so by the way because they demanded to be the one to do all the arrangements. I already accepted the fact about earning money since they will technically be the househusbands but they just had to include all the scheming and rivalry that I usually see between women in a harem to the mix of their roles. UGH!
I sighed once more as my thoughts went to some distant things again while I was carrying Clarence in my arms and going down the stairs. Before you start panicking, we are gliding in the air though I am walking normally in the eyes of others. I won’t risk rolling down the stairs with this guy in my arms.
