Combat Maid Harem

Lawrend decided to tell the store clerk their nicknames. A faint smile couldn't help but form on Aleshia's face as she remembered the first time they called each other that way. Unfortunately, that sweet smile was covered by her black mask.

"Please knock on the door when the miss is finished removing her clothes," Ruford said and left the room.

Lawrend was pleased with the guy's sensibility. He nodded at Aleshia and motioned for her to take off all of her clothes.

"Master, are you sure about this?" Aleshia asked.

"You brought me here. Can we trust him?"

Lawrend was full of confidence in Aleshia's ability to tell if someone was trustworthy or not. He could trust that store clerk if Aleshia brought him here.

"Yes. I heard rumors that he used to be the previous Imperial Dressmaker. He acts like the store clerk, but he actually owns the whole store," Aleshia explained to him.

"Interesting. He's also an Arch Mage."

Lawrend naturally used his elemental eyes to scan the man earlier. It was the reason he was able to trust him. He was not strong enough to do anything against Lawrend even if he tried his best. He was like a fly that could only annoy him.

Aleshia soon finished taking off her maid uniform. She only wore her bra and her panties.

*Knock* *Knock*

Lawrend knocked on the door.

It opened and Ruford walked inside. He immediately placed his gaze on Aleshia. He went forward and walked back to the middle of the room. He squinted his eyes and nodded his head.

"Mister, what kind of dress do you want her to wear?" Ruford asked Lawrend.

"A black short skirt dress that's flexible and tight to her skin."

"How about some leggings too?"

"Black ones."

"So you want her to wear all black?"

"Yes. I want the fabric to be as black as you can make it."

"Hmm… Pardon me for asking, but is she an assassin?" Ruford guessed while holding his chin.

"What makes you ask that?"

"Only an assassin would need that. Don't worry. I want my customers to come back so I won't expose your secret," Ruford said.

"Whatever. Just do what I want." Lawrend shrugged his shoulders.

At his power level, Ruford was no threat to him. Even if it was revealed that Aleshia was an assassin, it wasn't a secret anyway.

Ruford raised an eyebrow at Lawrend. He asked that question to test the waters. His response only made him more confused than before.

"I will make a sketch for you."

Ruford grabbed a painting canvas and set it up in the middle of the room. He then started sketching with a pencil in his hand. He first started by drawing Aleshia's beautiful body and then put the dress over as another layer.

"How does this look?" Ruford asked Lawrend and moved away to give him space to look at the sketch.

"Give her a bracer too."

Ruford started sketching on Aleshia's arms and stopped after a few minutes.

"How about now?"

"Hmmm… Perfect." Lawrend nodded his head in satisfaction.

"Okay. I want to take her measurements now. You can take them if you want," Ruford said and stood up.

"I'll do it."

Lawrend took the measuring tape from Ruford's hand and started measuring Aleshia's sizes. Ruford guided him on which part to measure or not.

As Aleshia watched Lawrend take her sizes, she remembered back when she first entered the Horiel Household. She had to have her measurements taken so her maid uniform would fit.

"Perfect. Thank you. I need a downpayment, Mister," Ruford said and passed him a piece of paper with a bill written on it.

"Shia, write me a check," Lawrend ordered.

"Yes, Master."

Aleshia took out a checkbook and wrote on it. She then passed the check to Ruford.

When he glanced at it, Ruford squinted his eyes. There were no names indicating who was the owner of the cheque. It was a rare cheque in this empire. The highest of the highest elites were the only ones that had those.

"Thank you, Great Customer!"

Ruford bowed to Lawrend.

"Go out. My Shia will wear her maid uniform now. And speaking of maid uniform, make more for her with those measurements," Lawrend said.

"But Master, I already have a lot of spare ones," Aleshia interjected.

"You need new ones."

"Okay. Thank you, Master."

Aleshia bowed to him.

"I will have 20 maid uniforms for her done. You may come to retrieve all of your orders a month later," Ruford said as he left the door.

…

Aleshia wore her maid uniform and they left the clothing shop.

"It's already midnight," Lawrend said as he looked up at the dark night sky.

They held hands and flew around.

The streets were lit up by candles, lanterns, and magic stones. The nightlife in this city was bustling. There were fewer people compared to earlier but there was still a lot.

"Let's eat. How about that candied fruit over there?"

Lawrend pointed to a fruit stand beside the road selling candied fruits. Some of them were fruits that Lawrend couldn't recognize.

He bought a stick of candied grapes and passed it to Aleshia. He took one for himself and they both bit it at the same time. They were careful not to remove the masks on their faces.

"Mm… It's quite sweet and the burst of sour juices flood your mouth," Lawrend muttered under the mask.

"It's good!"

Aleshia nodded her head at him.

The two of them went around and tried out a variety of things. They even let a Diviner divine their future.

"The two of you… will not get married! Be careful in the future."

"Hahahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Lawrend and Aleshia laughed together. Getting married together was something they had already decided. He even had a son with her. The Diviner's words were bullsh*t in their opinion.

As they left the diviner's shop, they couldn't help but feel some anxiousness.

"Do you believe her words?" Lawrend asked.

"Should we get married tomorrow then?" Aleshia joked.
