Combat Maid Harem

A large city appeared from the edges of the horizon. It was so wide that you could barely see the end of it. It was enclosed in towering marble walls.

"That's the Capital City?"

Lawrend asked Olgar in amazement. It was at least as big as the cities found from his previous life's memories.

"It is. That's where the powerhouses of the kingdom are concentrated."

Olgar nodded his head and explained.

"I'm excited to meet them."

Lawrend smiled as he looked on.

"What's that-buzu?"

Elena suddenly pointed to their left. There was a small shadow flying towards them. It rapidly got bigger until a silhouette of a person can be seen.

"Is that a person?"

Aleshia asked as she squinted her eyes to get a better look at it.

"That's at least a High Mage or an Army Sword! I'll lower ourselves to avoid bumping into each other."

Right as Olgar finished his words, the golden saucer under their feet stopped and slowly descended. It stopped just as it was about to touch a leaf of the tree below them.

A few seconds later, they could make out the face of the person.

"It's her!"

Lawrend shouted in alarm.

It was the Noble Demon that attacked the Sheron Port City before! She was holding onto her abdomen as she flew rapidly towards them.

"|Wind Wall|!"

Olgar rapidly chanted, and a wall of wind appeared before them. By the time he finished, the Noble Demon Aezel had already arrived in front of them.

"Hoh, it seems that you and I are fated with each other."

Noble Demon Aezel stopped flying in front of them. She looked down at Lawrend with interest. She was still wearing her white robe as red blood leaked from her abdomen. She held onto it with her right hand while there were also visible wounds on her body.

"Demon! Don't you dare lay a hand on Lawrend!"

Olgar hid Lawrend behind him and shouted towards Aezel.

"Heh, I have no time to argue with you. I'm taking him with me whether you want to or not."

Aezel chuckled lightly. She extended her and a web of red lightning extended from her hand that hit the wall of wind.

"What the!"

Olgar felt his connection with his spell disappear. It was supposed to be a High Mage spell, yet she easily dispelled it. As expected of a Noble Demon.

"I'm taking you with me. Don't resist, or I'll kill them."

Aezel looked Lawrend straight in the eyes as she threatened him. Her eyes were blatantly serious.

"...Alright."

Lawrend bit his lips before he agreed. If this will keep them safe, then he would gladly abide.

"Young Master!"

Aleshia shouted towards him in alarm.

"Master-buzu!"

Elena reacted and immediately hugged Lawrend's thigh tightly.

"Young Master is?"

Even Ella was worried when she heard Lawrend's words.

"Good boy."

Aezel nodded in satisfaction seeing Lawrend readily agree with her.

As for Olgar, he was silent. He moved his body again and blocked Lawrend from Aezel's vision.

"Lawrend, I can delay her! Run through the Undrasil Monster Forest. It will be your best chance of survival."

Olgar whispered to Lawrend.

"No. Mr. Olgar, you will die."

Lawrend grabbed Olgar's shoulders and said to him solemnly. He could still remember what he saw when Aezel and Reon fought together. It would be naive to underestimate her prowess even though she looks beat up.

Lawrend locked eyes with Olgar and nodded his head solemnly.

"Elena, I promise. I'll come back. Stay in the Capital City with Mr. Olgar."

Lawrend pulled Elena's hands on his legs gently.

"Master-buzu! No! I… I will protect master-buzu!"

Elena looked at Lawrend sadly. She looked like she was about to cry. Realizing that the problem was this demon in front of her, her body started emitting sparks of electricity.

"Kill-buzu!"

Elena shouted towards Aezel and pointed her finger at her.

"ELENA! Stop this. I don't want to lose you."

Lawrend shouted to Elena gravely. If he didn't stop her, she would be killed by this demon woman in front of them.

Elena looked at Lawrend and gritted her teeth. In the end, she let go of his leg and gave him space.

"A smart human… perfect. If you hadn't stopped them, I would have killed them both in one strike."

Aezel had obviously overheard Olgar. She smirked at Lawrend as she spoke.

"Let's go!"

She grabbed Lawrend's arm and pulled him up into the air.

Olgar and the rest had no choice but to watch as Lawrend was taken by her.

"This is not right! We should save Master-buzu!"

Elena stomped her feet angrily while gripping her fists.

"Stop, Elena! Lawrend asked me to keep all of you safe, and I will keep my word."

Olgar shouted towards Elena.

"…. Even if that comes to us fighting."

Olgar continued sternly.

Elena had no choice but to silently watch as Lawrend was taken away. Meanwhile, tears were dripping down Aleshia's cheeks as she watched. She was angry at herself for being so weak. What will happen to him now that he was kidnapped by the demon woman?

As for Ella, she doesn't know Lawrend much, but she still felt worried. She reached out and held her big sister's hand.

Just as they were feeling sad and powerless, a loud whistling sound came from the direction of the capital.

"Noble Demon! Come back here!!"

The voice resounded throughout the surroundings. It was the voice of an old man.

Aezel, who was carrying Lawrend, immediately sped up after hearing the old man's voice.

"Who is that old man?"

Aleshia couldn't help but ask as she watched an old man with a white beard speed fast by them in the blink of an eye.

"A-A Grand Mage!"

Olgar exclaimed in disbelief.

"You're not gonna escape, you filthy demon!"

The old man shouted angrily.

Aezel panicked and looked left and right. There was nowhere for her to escape. She braced herself and dived towards the forest below.

"W-Woah!"

Lawrend felt his stomach churn from the sudden change in momentum.

"You're not escaping!"

The old man had already arrived behind her.
