Chapter 1510: A Single Child
Ning arrived at Damian's palace. It was a massive fortress, larger than most villages. It included many rooms, each dedicated to something specific.
One side of the palace was for blacksmithing, while another one was for training swords. One gigantic library was for a scholar, while another one will flasks and vials was for a healer.
Each one of Damian's wives seemed to have made one part of the house completely there where they trained what they were good at every day.
Ning was taken to the dining hall by Damian, while he talked about his life with Ning. He explained how he had come from a low status, but thanks to the physique he was born with, he had managed to overcome all odds to reach the level he had.
They then sat by the table, with Ning on one end and Damian on the other end, while his wives filled the sides of the table.
Ning ate what was the best food he had eaten since he came here. In fact, it was the tastiest thing he had eaten since he left Earth decades ago. glad you are enjoying this," Damian said. "Brienne's cooking is quite amazing."
The golden-haired woman gave a small smile.
They talked as they ate, with Ning explaining parts of what he was, and Damian explaining how he was as strong as he was.
"Hmm, now that's an interesting physique," Ning said.
"Yes," Damian said, but he didn't seem as happy as he should have been.
"Do you not like it?" Ning asked.
"No, I absolutely love it," Damian said. "If not for my physique, I wouldn't have reached where I am. I wouldn't have gotten to meet all of my lovely wives."
"Then why do you feel saddened?" Ning asked.
Damian's eyes widened in glee and hope. "You can help me then?" he asked, but as he did, his face changed. "No, what's the bad news?"
"Your children would be average with no talent. At least, they will have none of your talents, and perhaps just their mothers. Even that is hard to tell."
Damian's eyes narrowed. "Wouldn't that be close to having my bloodline come to an end?" he asked.
"It would continue in a different way, but if you wish your physique to be transferred as well, then that is not happening," Ning said.
"But I do wish that," Damian said. "But I can't just give one of them a child and leave the other 6 bare. I can't bear to do that."
"It's alright," one of the girls said. "We will be fine with it."
"Yes, we can handle it. You can't afford to not have a child to keep your ancestor's lineage alive. The world needs your physique, Damian," another one of the girls said.
Ning watched as the girls consoled Damian one after another. As he watched them, another thought came to him.
"I have a suggestion," Ning said. "It's a stupid suggestion, but considering the situation, I believe you will come to appreciate it."
Damian and the girls looked toward Ning. "What suggestion, sir Ning?" he asked.
"You can only have one child, I cannot change that. However, there is a way I can make it so that one child belongs to all 7 of your wives," Ning said. "Each one of them would be a biological mother to your child."
"So, while you only have one child, and the girls won't have any other, they will still all be actual mothers, and won't be left bare, as you say," Ning said.
Damian's eyes narrowed. "Are there any downsides?" he asked.
Ning grinned. "What I just said were the downsides," he said. "Wanna hear the upsides
now?"
