Combat Maid Harem

"Next, Humility," Lawrend said.

Humility walked in front and bowed even more exaggeratedly than Elena. As the Princess among Lawrend's maids, she felt that it was important to show that she was the most graceful of them all.

"Very graceful! Son, I envy you!" Rendal shouted and gripped his fist tightly.

"Heh." Lawrend chuckled.

"Next, Amene and Grape," Lawrend called out.

Amene and Grape walked together and raised their hands together.

"Nyaa!" x2

They meowed while doing the cat pose. Rendal's eyes widened, and he stared at the two of them in shock.

"S-Son… T-They are real demihumans?" Rendal asked in disbelief.

"Yes. They are from the Yttervia Tribe," Lawrend replied with a nod of his head.

"I give up. You're much more superior than me," Rendal said with a sigh.

As he was incapable of using magic, he feared that having a demihuman maid would bring more trouble to him. Besides, they would be slaves at that point. He liked maids, not slaves. There was a clear distinction between the two of them.

"Hahahaha. It's not like I'm competing with you," Lawrend replied with a light smile on his face.

For him, he was simply introducing to him his future daughters-in-law.

"Tch." Rendal clicked his tongue in annoyance.

"Next, Ramiela."

Ramiela walked in front and smiled at Rendal. She felt weird feeling respect to a lowly human because it was her Master's father.

"Next, Nao."

Nao walked to the front, and she surprised Rendal.

"You're gay!?" Rendal exclaimed in shock.

As Lawrend's father, it was a huge shock to learn that your son was gay. Even if it's socially acceptable, it was hard for a father to emotionally accept that.

"No! Nao is a she!" Lawrend shouted in reply.

He was as straight as a line could be.

"Oh? Crossdressing? I never thought of that…"

Rendal rubbed his chin and thought deeply.

"Perverted old man, what are you thinking?" Lawrend asked with a deadpan face.

"I was thinking of having some of my maids crossdress…" Rendal replied.

"..."

"Wait, how dare you call me a perverted old man??" Rendal asked in anger.

"You didn't deny it." Lawrend shrugged his shoulders.

Rendal opened and closed his mouth. He tried to say something in reply, but nothing came out of his mouth.

"When are you returning to the capital?" Rendal asked instead to change the topic.

"Today or tomorrow. It will only take a few hours anyway."

"A few hours?" Rendal was taken aback by his words.

Based on what he knew, it would take him a week on a carriage to reach the capital city.

"Did you not hear that I have a flying beast?"

"You do!?" Rendal exclaimed in shock.

"Yeah. She's the Guardian Beast of the Undrasil Monster Forest. She helped me take the throne," Lawrend answered.

The way Rendal looked at Lawrend changed. It had only been more than three months, and yet his son was already beyond recognizable. He felt alienated.

"I'm sorry I couldn't attend your birthday," Rendal suddenly blurted out.

With all of the benefits he would receive from Lawrend, he felt guilty. He should have tried to attend it.

"Oh, right. I almost forgot about that… If I didn't hear about your past, I wouldn't be your son anymore," Lawrend said coldly.

It was a huge change in attitude that Rendal was taken aback. He gulped his saliva and decided to himself that he won't mess with his son ever again.

"Alright. Let's set off tomorrow. I will go relieve some stress first," Lawrend said and bid his farewell to his father.

He could finally relax, knowing the story from his father's mouth. He still felt pained inside.

He was curious about what kind of a person his mother was. It was a shame that he wasn't able to meet her.

They returned to the inn, and the empire's envoy that was following them also returned to their inns.

"Master, is everything okay now?" Aleshia asked.

Along the way back to the inn, she noticed the sadness in his eyes. He hid it behind a smile on his face as he chit-chatted with the others in the carriage.

"I miss my mother…"

Lawrend embraced her. He released the pent-up sadness inside his heart.

The others in the room felt sad and embraced Lawrend. It turned into a big circle as all of them embraced him tightly.

"Master, we can be your mothers," Aezel said.

"Eh?"

Humility raised her head and looked at Aezel weirdly.

"Fufufu." Aezel laughed and didn't say anymore.

"Yes, Master. Sister Aezel is right. If you want, we can all treat you like our baby," Humility said with a wide smile on her face.

"..."

Lawrend wiped the tears in his eyes and looked at them.

"Wouldn't it be weird for my mother to be my maid?" Lawrend asked.

"..."

"..."

Aezel and Humility felt awkward. They turned away and pretended that nothing had happened.

"I'm okay now," Lawrend said and lightly pushed them away.

"Master, how about a happy ending massage instead?" Elena asked with lustful eyes.

It doesn't take a genius to guess what was on her dirty mind.

"I would like to spend some time with Elena," Lawrend said.

"Ehhhh? Master, didn't you say that I would be next?" Nao complained.

"Ah, right. Then, Nao will stay, and everyone will move to the other rooms," Lawrend said.

He almost forgot his promise to her.

"Hmmmmm? Big Sister, when is my turn?" Ella asked with a cute pout on her face.

"Ella, like I said before, only when you're 18 years old," Aleshia replied.

"Hmph. Unfair Big Sisters!" Ella complained and left the room.

Aleshia followed after her with a sigh. It was hard trying to explain to a young girl like Ella that it was not something she should do at such a young age. She was feeling left out all the time they did something like this.

Once everyone left, Nao and Lawrend stared at each other's eyes.

"Master…"

Nao fell to his embrace and hugged him tightly.
