Chapter 287: I’ve Stopped Counting
One more thing that Arabella understood was that Ferdinand came to Valeria to find his mate and have children. The ultimate goal was to have children to increase the number of dragons.
But what would Ferdinand do after he fulfills his role? From his tale, primordial dragons like himself wanted to die.
He did say that he wanted to live with her for a long time. But is that what he planned?
Does it mean he would bring her and their children to Estrella in the future and they will live here for good? He would not hibernate to death?
"Ferdinand, are you still bored with life? Do you still wish to die? Do you still plan on hibernating to death? Or would you take me here someday, prolong my life, and live here with our children until both of us die a natural death?" Arabella asked. She needed to hear his exact plans.
Ferdinand smiled and caressed her cheek.
"I have found my reason to live. I want to be with you, so I won’t hibernate any more. And I do plan on living with you here someday, with our children once the time comes to leave Valeria. Please allow me to extend your lifespan so we can watch our children grow together," he asked with sincere eyes.
"How will you do that?"
"Once we consummate, I can mark you as my mate and I can begin giving you some of my life force. The more I give you some of my life force, the healthier you become. Your body would begin to build resistance to poison, diseases, and the like. After some time, you would be immune to poison and diseases. You will never get sick again and no one would be able to hurt you with poison. It would affect your overall health and you will age slowly just as the long-lived races do," Ferdinand explained.
’Right. Alwin did say in the dream I had that no poison should have ever worked on Ferdinand. The poison used on him that Marcus gave Renee was something that should have ceased to exist.’
Arabella wondered if Ferdinand marked her in her previous life after their first night.
