Hmm... Interesting. The guy whose voice is speaking inside my head is the god of this domain. I'm hoping he's a bit of a pushover *snickers*.
I answered carefully and still pretending to look sad, "I see. Though I don't feel like winning the lottery out of those 27 people can make me feel better about dying though. So, since I was chosen, I get wishes and the others don't? I guess an advantage is still an advantage. Most probably, wishing to live again, returning to Earth or rewinding the time back when I was alive are not in the options?Are you perhaps like a genie that gives three wishes?"
The voice suddenly laughed and replied, "I indeed can't bring you back to life, return you to earth or rewind time. Hmm.. A genie you say? Yes. I can be your personal genie if you want. I did a little research about your world and that's like a character in children's stories right? We could do that! You'll be living in my world from now on so I can give you that much. I am also trying to make up for scaring you. Since I will be giving you three instead of one, you will also have to do something for me in return. Let's hear your wishes for now. Deal?"
I looked up and smiled sweetly and said "Alright. I will think of my first wish then". While touching my chin and pretendjng to think of one carefully. I dreamed of this more than a hundred times so I am very ready with my wishes already but I have to pretend like I am clueless or something. After a few minutes of pondering (not really), I said, "Hmmm. Could you give me a good background or something? I don't want to be reincarnated as an animal or insect, a beggar, a person that is sick and has limited time to live, a prisoner of war, an abused orphan or a slave in the mines? I want to start from somewhere above average. Immortality won't be so bad but even if I won't have that but I atleast should be educated and know how to read and write so I won't be scammed in that new world you know?"
The voice quickly said, "Sure! I just had the perfect background in mind that will help you complete the tasks I will give you as well. I will let you inherit a fallen bloodline. It's a royal bloodline so I guess you'll be somewhat a princess? It is connected to the task I will give you. It is kind of a package deal of some sort. You have to revive the bloodline and the kingdom you belong to."
My eyes widened in shock and said "A princess? That isn't so bad but I guess I have to do some hardwork before enjoying the status I suppose since you said "somewhat a princess" so there must be a condition. That's starting way above average isn't it. What's the catch? What do you mean by reviving a bloodline?"
The voice laughed again before saying "I like how cautious you are. You don't just accept things at face value and have to know the facts before agreeing. You don't want to be the fool and in the losing end. I am starting to like you even more!" he paused. As if trying to carefully compose his words, he only started speaking after a few minutes and said, "To answer your question, it is a YES. You will be a princess at first. You have to clean up and rebuild the kingdom. Don't worry. You're not the last one of the blood line. There are 4 more people, men to be exact, that will help you out but they are kinda asleep for a few centuries now. Once you have your first child with any of those 4, by then you have fulfilled one of the conditions of continuing the lineage and you will become the queen or the empress depending on how hard you worked for your task."
I smiled and said "That's a better explanation. Hmm. That means I would automatically have 4 husbands? That's quite a good offer and a selling package of some sort but it's expensive to keep a big family with the future kids and all. Why do I feel like you are giving me buy one, take one promotions like a telemarketing caller? Well, I don't mind polyandry at all (this is the best!) as long as the men can help out with house chores and earning money. I'm good with what you offer for my first wish then. Were done with the first one. Shall we go to the second one?" He then replied, "Go on ahead. I am excited to know what ideas that little head of yours has for the last 2 wishes" He then giggled like a kid.
I made another pause for a few minutes, pretending to be thinking really hard about my wish. Once I used up some of the time, I simply said, "My second wish is to be in a world where women don't have to give birth. I want the men to do it so I can play around freely. I don't mind having a cute child with a good-looking man. If I have to have a kid for each of those 4, I don't mind too but I don't want to go around with a huge belly and have to experience pain when the child needs to come out of my body. I just want to concentrate with earning money, overtime or even taking multiple jobs if needed. I do not mind hardwork, heck even if I have to work in a farm to provide for my 4 instant husbands as long as I don't have to take the task of giving birth to kids. By any chance, would it be possible to send me to a world where the roles are kind of reversed? You already talked about polyandry anyways. Let's be consistent with the roles please?" I smiled cunningly.
