Villain: TPOD, Chapter 197
🕑 Added 2022-08-25 10:45:32 +0000 UTCReturning home, Keith silently walked into the lounge where the family was gathered, and despite all that had happened today, the atmosphere in the room was quite cheerful.
Amelia, Rebecca, Kiara, Qingyue, Ingrid, and Nana were sitting on the rug as they were busy playing cards, and Celine was brightly chatting with his grandmother, who always enjoyed her company.
"Hey!" Since no one paid attention to him, he called out to them, getting their attention. "Where's Marianne?" He asked after he looked around and found a few of the girls not present in the room
"She's resting. Viola is with her." Kiara informed him but then returned her attention to the game.
It seemed like they were playing a big hand right now as they all did not pay much attention to him. Well, except for Celine, who brightly smiled at him and cutely waved her hand at him before continuing to chat with Diana.
Keith glanced around the room and sighed before leaving them to whatever they were doing.
He went to his room first to freshen up and then walked towards the section of the Manor where Rebecca and Marianne lived.
Not bothering to knock on the door, he opened it and looked inside, finding the lights turned off and a girl sleeping soundly on the bed.
Iseul had told him that Marianne had not suffered anything serious, but her arms were covered in bandages, and even her left leg was bandaged.
Even though he knew that Rebecca must have already treated her, he still checked her body to make sure that she was healing properly. Though there were quite a lot of burns, they were not going to leave any marks on her honey skin. Even if they did, he knew how to get rid of them.
"Viola."
"Yes, Young Master?" The maid, who was taking care of Marianne, immediately answered him and stepped forward.
"Please prepare me a meal. I am hungry."
"Yes." She bowed to him and then left the room to get to it.
Since he had asked her to do it, she was going to make it with her own hands. After all, he was quite fond of the taste of her food.
After a call with Sebastian and a short meeting with Caesar, Keith entered his room to find his beautiful maid waiting for him with his food.
Minami immediately got to work as soon as he sat down at the breakfast table, handing him the bowl of soup to start his meal with.
<Sit.> He ordered her and, already quite used to it, she did not hesitate or show any signs of shyness as she sat at the table and ate with him.
Since she already had lunch, she only ate a little, but it was only to keep him company, not fill her stomach.
Done with the meal, she tidied up the table and then looked at him, waiting for him if he had any instructions.
<Come back after you are done returning these to the kitchen.> He smiled at her and flicked her nose, making her blush a little.
Minami bowed to him and then took the trolley away. She returned to his room ten minutes later and obediently stood by the door as she watched him meditate, sitting on his bed.
<Come.> He signalled to her after opening his eyes, and the innocent girl approached him, gracefully taking off her shoes and climbing into the bed with him.
Minami thought that he would ask her to give him a head massage like he usually asked for, but that was not the case today.
She yelped in surprise when he pulled her in his arms and then settled her in his lap, her back against his chest, and then wrapped his left arm around her temptingly soft waist.
He teasingly traced her belly with his right hand, which was quite ticklish and earned him some soft giggles from her. And then he just hugged her tightly in his arms, which made her fair skin burn in a furious blush.
Seconds passed, and suddenly, Minami felt a stream of a soothing sensation wash over her, and when her eyes closed as she revelled in the comfort that was threatening to steal her senses away, the last thing she recalled was Keith's hand unbuttoning her blouse.
Keith smiled and planted a kiss on her head when she dozed off, and he continued to inject a steady stream of his Aura inside her body, whilst tracing his fingers on her chest in a strange yet calculated pattern.
An hour later, her body was shrouded by his Aura, and her breathing slowed down to a level that could be considered alarming, had Keith not been the one responsible for it.
Using his telekinetic powers, he took off her clothes and placed them on the side before lifting her in the air in a fetal position.
And then he got up on his knees and started using an arcane method by rejuvenating her spleen, strengthening her genes.
He had formulated a method to treat her in the last few days, and though there were several such methods, he chose the most effective and quickest possible method he could come up with. But it was a little expensive as well.
A vial appeared in his hand out of nowhere, shining in an emerald brilliance thanks to the viscous liquid inside of it.
It was the Potion of Youth, the perfect Spirit Grade Potion that was capable of eliminating any genetic defects and strengthening the genes to their utmost potential for at least all the low-level races such as Ashaya. And since Humans were the basest form of Ashaya, it was more than capable enough of yielding the best possible results that Keith needed.
However, he was not going to use all of it. That would be a waste. He carefully pulled out half of the liquid, which oozed out an intoxicating scent that excited every cell in his body, and then he divided it into seven small droplets.
He fed Minami a droplet every nine minutes, and in between that period, he stimulated the growth of her cells, making the process much faster.
{Host, do you wish to keep her by your side forever?}
When he was done infusing the last drop of the Potion of Youth in her body, he heard the System ask the question that piqued his interest.
"I do." He replied and then waited for the System to speak before asking it any questions.
{The System seeks permission to extract a part of your Bloodline to infuse it in Minami's body. She has an inborn affinity for that power.}
"Extract?" He narrowed his eyes and those words.
{The Host would not lose that power since it originates from his Bloodline. What she will receive would be a specific set of power born from your Bloodline.}
"So, a daughter?"
{A Progenitor's creations are indeed called their children even if they are not their true legacy. However, the drop of Blood she will be receiving would indeed make her your daughter.}
Keith chuckled at those words and shook his head. He knew a little about these things already and took his time to contemplate the matter.
"Is it the best option available for her or could I find a better Bloodline for her in the future?"
{The System can not explicitly answer your question as you intend to gain knowledge that is not yet suitable for you. However, the Host can rest assured that the System would never propose something to you that you would be disappointed in.}
He smiled when he heard those words. And then simply shrugged.
"Tell me about the repercussions."
{There are no repercussions, Host. When you are strong enough, you would not require the System's help to bestow one of your powers to your chosen person. So, it is not anything against the Divine Laws.}
"I see." He smiled as he looked at the beautiful girl who was floating in the air. "Do it."
{Initiating Host's request...}
Keith's mind suddenly went blank for a second and he clearly felt a droplet of blood being extracted from his heart. However, he senses something else too, and that was the presence of several more such droplets of blood, dozens of them, that oozed out a soul-stirring power that made him feel right at home.
When he regained clarity and his eyes beheld the girl in front of him, whose hair had lengthened by several inches, gaining more lustre to them. Her body grew taller by a couple of inches, and her soft pink lips turned to a more flushed pink, enhancing her charm.
Her already flawless skin was a lot more lustrous, and though there were no changes to her visage, she still seemed like a different person. And he had a hunch that as she grows older, she will gain a slight resemblance with him. Even then, her charm was already quite deadly.
When the Amethyst Aura around her subsided, Keith immediately caught her in his hands and then leaned near her left ear.
"Life, Death, Spirit, Time, & Space. Darkness, and Light. The Law of Creation and the Destruction that is inseparable. Witness the one I hold in my arms, a soul that I deem worthy of your blessings. Call on the Fate, the Destiny, and the Samarasa. Call upon the Judgement on my Emotions. And then bow to the Supremacy as you bless the soul in my arms..."
He whispered some verses in a Divine Language, a secret that only the most powerful of the Gods were privy to.
The first words that any child hears after their birth were very significant. And even though Minami was not a newborn, the words he had just whispered in her ear were the first words she had heard after her birth.
Keith brightly smiled when he finished reciting the Verses and watched Minami's body exude a violet light before it receded in her body.
His request had been heard and accepted by the Divine Laws, and the girl in his arms was blessed by them. He did not doubt that his dear Minami will put even the brightest of people to shame with her Cultivation Talent and would invoke their envy when they witness her resonating with the Laws of the Realms.
Suddenly, a wave of dizziness assaulted him, and he frowned before he checked the state of his body. All his Aura and Mana Reserves were almost depleted, which was the reason behind this dizziness, but other than that, he was perfectly fine.
Keith laid back down on the bed with Minami in his arms and then pulled the covers over them before joining her in the world of dreams.
