Combat Maid Harem

Lawrend took out a piece of paper and started writing on it. He wrote many clauses for the soul contract.

He finished a dozen minutes later, and he showed it to her.

"Read it carefully," Lawrend said.

Clova stared at the soul contract for a few minutes with her sharp bird eyes.

"I'm satisfied. But what will happen if you don't die?" Clova asked.

Her eyes stared at Lawrend intently.

It said in the soul contract that she would be freed once he died, but there was no mention of any other way she could be freed. It meant that she would be his servant till death. It won't be hard for him to outlive her with his amazing talents.

"Don't worry. I will give you countless benefits," Lawrend confidently replied.

"What kind of benefits?"

"I will help you find heavenly treasures. It won't be hard in the future," Lawrend answered.

He wasn't just boasting empty words. It won't be long before he becomes an Earth Mage. And an Earth Mage could explore almost every corner of the world.

You also shouldn't forget that he had the Divine Lightning. It would be able to help him fight against Heaven Mages. That would be enough to flip over any location and find all the heavenly treasures.

"Add it in the soul contract," Clova said.

The two of them continued discussing with each other for ten minutes before they finished. Clova's soul appeared behind her back, and a part of her soul flew out of her body.

The same thing happened to Lawrend. One could see his magical soul that was filled with mana. A piece of it flew off and merged with Clova. Then Clova's piece of soul took the place of that empty spot.

"My lord."

Clova slightly lowered her head to him.

"Clova Whitebird, I'm glad that you accepted me," Lawrend solemnly replied.

This was a huge gain for him. She was powerful and ancient—a great ally in the future.

"It was your talents that convinced me, My lord."

Clova was humble and subservient. She immediately adapted to her new position. This was an ancient beast for you.

"Let's go. The others have been waiting for us."

Lawrend rode Clova, and she appeared in front of Lawrend's family.

"Pa!" Zio called out the moment he saw Lawrend riding Clova.

Clova landed in front of them with a thud. The young babies stared at her with wide eyes. Instead of crying, their eyes were filled with curiosity, especially the slime trio.

"Master is back!" Elena exclaimed.

The others sighed in relief once they saw him and Clova. They had been waiting for quite a while now. If it weren't for their confidence in him, they would have already thought that the empire caught him.

The passersby arriving and exiting Sorba Port City widened their eyes the moment they saw Clova.

"It's the Undrasil Monster Forest's Guardian! Is that the Former King on its back!?" one of them shouted in shock.

"It's him! The Former King is back! The glorious number one talent of our kingdom is back!"

Lawrend left the kingdom with his tail in-between his legs, but the citizens sympathized with him. With the empire chasing after him, it was understandable that he was running for his life. His return was good news to the citizens.

He was a prodigy known to all! His great power was talked about and spread everywhere. That included the Blumin Empire and the surrounding kingdoms.

After more than a year of absence, the people that recognized him felt excitement bubbling inside their bodies. He fought against a whole entourage sent by the empire with his combat maids! Everyone knew about it.

"I'd rather call him Combat Maid King! Look, his maids already gave birth."

One of them pointed at Aleshia and the others. The cute babies in their embraces were hard not to pay attention to.

"Indeed! Our Combat Maid King has a vitality that will impregnate any woman! Other nobles would not dare to impregnate their maids. He was one of the few that not only did it but didn't care that others knew about it."

"*Sigh* If only my daughter was slightly more talented and beautiful…"

"Same…"

Aleshia and the others clearly heard the passersby's voices. They turned bright red, and a feeling of pride welled up inside their chests.

"Let's go," Lawrend said.

He smiled at them and didn't say anything else. He was amazed and perplexed at how he became so famous, but he was happy nonetheless.

"Yes, Master!" x10

"Pa!"

…

In the Undrasil Kingdom's capital, Verkoli was sitting behind a desk. He was listening to an attendant explain things to him.

"Your Highness, the empire threatened that they don't mind sending a team of 12 Grand Mages to take over the kingdom if we don't send anyone to help them."

"HMPH! I had spread to the whole kingdom how great Lawrend was and how the empire mistreated him. Even if I ask for volunteers, no one will come up and help them. It's their fault for scaring him away." Verkoli snorted imposingly.

The attendant wryly smiled. He was also of the same mind. The Undrasil Kingdom's citizens accepted Lawrend as their most precious talent. He wasn't well known because of his sudden meteoric rise, but Verkoli spent a lot of effort to disseminate it to every corner of the kingdom.

"But Your Highness, we can't defend against 12 Grand Mages."

In the end, it was a difference of power. The empire might not be able to send Earth Mages, but they could send some Grand Mages as there were about 80 Grand Mages in the empire at the moment.

"...What did the Trunden Empire offer?" Verkoli grimly asked.

This was a choice that he was not willing to consider.

"They want three port cities, and they will send three Earth Mages and give us independence!" the attendant answered swiftly.

"Three!? Greedy bastards!"

"Ehem. Your Highness, it's improper for you to act like that."

"*Cough* It's an old habit." Verkoli faked a cough.
