Combat Maid Harem

"I don't believe that there aren't other descendants that threaten the position of Clan Head from you," Lawrend said.

"I don't need your help!" Ember replied fiercely.

"Really? If that is so, then I will just watch as you lose the fight for the Clan Head position," Lawrend replied calmly.

"Threaten me as much as you want. I will be the Clan Head!" Ember shouted.

"You are confident, huh. You can approach me if you change your mind," Lawrend said and dropped the matter.

"Aleshia, lead her to her room."

"Yes, Master."

Aleshia stood up and bowed toward him.

Lawrend released Ember's hand and stared at her. She raised her chin and ignored him. She followed Aleshia out of the dining hall.

"Master, she's so fierce. You should have spanked her butt!" Humility said with a smile.

"Fufufu. Stripping her naked is better," Aezel said.

"She's like an imperial queen. So domineering," Nao muttered.

"Crazy woman. She will stay single forever," Grape added.

"Nyaa! No one would want such a fierce woman."

"Lowly phoenix, if Sister Aezel didn't take the lead, I would have shown her my glorious wings!" Ramiela uttered coldly.

"Relax, girls. She's fierce and arrogant, but there are countless men that would want to conquer her," Lawrend interrupted them.

"Really? She won't be a good wife at all." Humility shook her head.

"Well, even I'm tempted," Lawrend chuckled.

"Fufufufu. I get it now. Master wants to taste the feeling of conquering her arrogance?" Aezel said in amusement.

"Correct. It will be so satisfying when I conquer someone like that," Lawrend replied with a nod of his head.

"You're a pervert, Master," Humility replied.

"Hahahaha! If I'm a pervert, all of you would be even more of a pervert," Lawrend retorted.

"Hehehe…"

Humility didn't deny his words and giggled.

As a result of his words, their faces heated up and turned red.

"I will go continue practicing magic. Let me know if she causes trouble again," Lawrend said and stood up.

His maids also stood up and bowed to him. Lawrend left them alone and headed back to the throne room.

"Fire… Lightning… I'm getting closer and closer."

Lawrend smiled to himself. His battle with Ember earlier allowed him to speed up the process. Soon, he would be able to create a Beginner Mage spell with both Lightning and Fire.

Don't belittle that spell. It would be able to kill the strongest True Mage out there in one strike and severely injure a High Mage. One day he would be able to create Grand Mage spells with both fire and lightning magic.

One could only imagine the destruction that would cause.

…

After entering her own room, Ember closed the door and sat on the bed with a frown. She was naturally upset that she lost to him and to the fact that she couldn't fight back when he was holding her hand.

"I will make you pay one day," Ember silently engraved into her heart this grievance she felt.

She walked outside the balcony and felt the fresh air coming from the Undrasil Monster Forest.

"Uwahhh!"

Ember turned her head and saw a woman cradling a baby boy in her arms. The boy was crying incessantly.

"Shhh! Courage, stop crying."

It was none other than Elena and Courage. She was left to take care of the babies as the others tried to help Lawrend. The reason she became the babysitter was because of her ability to create slime tentacles.

In theory, Elena could make thousands of hands that could help her take care of the babies.

Courage was crying, so she carried him out to the balcony to stop him from inciting the other babies to cry with him. It would be a big headache at that time.

Elena suddenly noticed a gaze and looked to her right. She found a red-haired lady staring at her in annoyance.

Elena didn't recognize her and decided to ignore her.

"You! Are you making that baby stop crying or not!?" Ember shouted.

Elena furrowed her eyebrows and ignored her. She was too busy to care about her.

"There, there. Stop crying, little Courage. Let's go back inside."

Elena carried Courage back in without looking at Ember one bit. Needless to say, Ember was furious at getting ignored.

"Come back here!" Ember shouted.

She flew to Elena's balcony and entered the room, fuming in anger.

"You–"

She was about to berate Elena when she saw the little babies in the room. Elena looked at her with furrowed eyebrows.

"Shush."

"..."

Ember was silent. She didn't want to disturb them, or the sound of their cries would reach her room, and she won't be able to have a second of peace.

"Whose are they?" Ember asked curiously.

The babies looked cute, and she felt a slight affinity for them.

"They are Master's."

"Who? Who is your Master?"

"Lawrend Horiel," Elena answered.

"T-They are his descendants…"

Elena saw Ember's eyes turn round. She approached one baby and stared at him. It was none other than Zio, Aleshia's baby.

She crouched and slowly carried the baby in her arms. Elena watched her intently and was on guard.

"He's quite cute. He's also the…" (descendant of the Ignis with the purest divine bloodline…)

Ember didn't finish her words with her mouth and continued them in her thoughts. She didn't want Elena to hear her words.

Ember turned around and carried him out to the balcony. Elena placed the now calm Courage on the bed and followed her.

*Fwoosh!*

Ember suddenly flew away. Elena looked at her, rapidly flying away in shock.

"Sister Elena?"

At this time, the others had already returned to get their babies back.

"Sisters, Zio was kidnapped!" Elena shouted in panic.

"What!?" x7

All of them became alarmed. Aleshia's face became cold, and she looked out the balcony. She could faintly see Ember's rapidly disappearing back.

"I will take care of her!" Aezel declared. She flew up and flew to the sky.

"I will help you!" Elena said and flew.

She felt it was her fault that Zio got kidnapped away.
