Combat Maid Harem

Lawrend promptly used his water magic to take a bath inside her laboratory. After they were done cleaning up, he told her to come with him.

And so, he carried her in his arms and flew back to the royal castle. Along the way, she was blushing because many people noticed them when he left the Mage Guild.

They were already back in the royal castle within a few seconds. By this time, the sun was already almost at the horizon. Lawrend had spent a lot of time with his maids.

When he returned, Ember and Aleshia were both waiting for him.

"Master, should I call the others?" Aleshia asked.

"Yes. Ember, you call the others too," Lawrend ordered.

"Yes, Master."

Both Ember and Aleshia bowed to him and headed into the royal castle to call the others.

Lawrend walked inside with Nao following behind him. They headed towards the dining hall.

Lawrend sat on the Master's seat as usual. He patiently waited for his maids to arrive one by one.

Soon, everyone was there. All of Lawrend's maids were here.

Seeing them all in one place made Lawrend happy. He was glad he had completed his task of protecting them. As their Master, that would mean he would get to spend a lot of time with them without worrying about any attacks.

"Welcome home, Master!"

All of his maids, and butler, stood up at the same time. They bowed at the same time and smiled at him.

"Thank you. You may all sit." Lawrend waved his hand.

In unison, they sat back down.

"Who is taking care of the babies?" Lawrend asked Elena.

Since she was here, it would mean that she left their babies alone.

"I got a Royal Guard to take care of them. He told me he was a father of three, so I put him there," Elena replied.

"Good. I would be able to start this meeting without any worry."

Lawrend relaxed, knowing that his children wouldn't get into an accident. As long as someone was watching over them, it shouldn't be a problem.

"So, first of all, I did it." Lawrend smiled proudly at them.

"Congratulations on your Imperial status!" they shouted in unison.

"Hahaha! I give a lot of the credit to Ember and the Trunden Empire. They helped a lot," Lawrend laughed.

"No need to be humble, Master. You are the best man in the world!" Humility said with a wide smile on her face.

"Not quite yet. I will say that once I defeat that person."

Lawrend's face became somber as he remembered West. Presumably, that guy was already a Divine Mage. A whole level above Heaven Mage.

"Who is this person, Master?" Humility asked.

At the moment, the only one missing was Valentina, so she couldn't explain it to them. She was still recovering from the damages to her soul.

"I will tell all of you in the future. It's useless to worry about it now."

Lawrend wanted them to serve him without feeling a lot of pressure. He defeated the Blumin Emperor for this exact reason. He didn't want to stress them just after he removed their recent stress.

"No, Master. We want to share your burden with you. As your maids, we need to know about your enemies," Aezel said.

She was already feeling guilty about her inability to be his shield and sword. Hearing him say those words only made her feel a pain in her chest.

Lawrend stared into Aezel's eyes and saw her earnestness in them. Those eyes were telling him of her conviction to protect him.

"Fine. His name is West. He was Valentina's ex-husband," Lawrend revealed.

The revelation shocked everyone. Valentina hadn't told them anything about this before.

"He is still alive. He and Valentina had a big fight ten thousand years ago. I want to help her kill him," Lawrend said.

He didn't say about the fact that West was a Divine Mage. He didn't want to reveal it yet.

"He's still alive?" Elena asked in amazement.

"Yes. I have a rough idea of where he is."

"Is he very strong? Only someone very strong could live for that long," Ramiela asked.

As an angel, she was very clear about the lifespan of human beings. The stronger they were, the longer they could live. But she could only hypothesize his strength because she didn't know anyone at that level.

"Yes. But I will eventually defeat him," Lawrend replied.

He was confident in himself. Though, he was still worried about the world taking his magic. He wasn't sure if the same would happen to his soul magic, so he was kind of hoping it would be able to allow him to become a Heaven Mage.

"Fufufu. As expected of Master, still very confident in himself," Aezel said with a chuckle.

Ember frowned a little after hearing those words from her. She hadn't had the time to explain to them what happened to Lawrend before. She was still worried whether he would become like that again.

Meanwhile, Humility and the others had wide grins on their faces. They felt proud of their Master.

"About that, I plan to migrate to the Imperial Capital. I will integrate the kingdom into the empire instead of letting it act as a separate entity," Lawrend said and looked at each of them.

"Oh!"

"Wow!"

Everyone became excited hearing about it. They were very curious about the Imperial Capital. They wanted to know how much different it was compared to the Royal Capital.

"While at it, I will also teach our kids magic."

"Master, does that mean you will spend a lot of time with us?" Elena asked as her eyes shone with excitement.

"Yes. I will do my best as their father and help them improve a lot while they are still young."

"Master, that's great!" Humility cheered.

"Fufufu. Master's children will rule the world even without his help," Aezel said with an evil grin on her face.

His maids couldn't help but imagine their children's amazing capabilities once they fully matured. Thinking about it was enough to make them feel proud of them.
