Combat Maid Harem

Lawrend sensed the meaning behind Ella's lack of explanation. He felt curious, but there were still two Divine Magics that he needed to give away.

He looked over his maids. Grape, Humility, and Nao were the only ones who hadn't received a Divine Magic.

When their eyes met, Humility avoided him and turned away. She already knew that it wouldn't be her. After all, he had made it clear beforehand that she needed to keep up with the rest.

"My Divine Tree Seed Divine Magic will be kept in my world for future safekeeping. I want to keep it for Valentina. I know that it sounds impossible, but there might be a chance in the future to revive her."

Lawrend's eyes drifted to the horizon. He recalled that time when Valentina saved him in the magma pool. She sacrificed herself to revive him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If the Creator could create worlds and control all the infinite natural laws, then there must be a way to revive a dead person. He was hopeful that he would reach that level one day.

"Master…" Aleshia whispered, feeling heartbroken by his expression.

The others were the same, and they couldn't help but feel that they had failed to keep him happy by letting that happen to their Sister Valentina.

Lawrend's children looked at each other with a faint excitement in their eyes. They completely idolized their father, and they believed that he could do anything.

"Enough about that. My Ancient Earth Divine Magic might not have anyone to receive it."

After he finished his words, Lawrend looked at the three of his women who hadn't received a Divine Magic yet.

"I can't accept that, Master. I'm only good with potions," Nao said and took a step back.

"Nyaa." Grape agreed. "I'm not good with magic either. I'm a little too old to have ambition."

Shock showed on Humility's face. She looked at them alternately and felt shame and defeat well up in her heart. She bowed towards them, and determination flared in her heart.

"Master, I will take this opportunity! I will also prove myself to you!" Humility shouted.

Lawrend subtly glanced at Nao and Grape, and then his gaze landed on Humility.

"I will give you this chance to prove to me that you are the woman I saw that day."

"Yes!"

Humility didn't waste any time. She flew to Lawrend herself and prostrated on the ground.

"Master, I will not fail this! I promise!"

Her words were very weighty. His other maids looked at each other and swallowed mouthfuls of saliva. They wondered if this would be the time when they would lose another member.

Marano Courage Horiel, Humility and Lawrend's son, watched his mother with a frown on his face. He balled his fists and wanted to stand up for his mother.

However, he knew that this was not the time to be disobedient. He recognized that anyone here could easily stop him. It might only make his mother appear less favorable.

This didn't mean that Marano didn't harbor any dissatisfaction and disapproval towards his father. After all, he believed that his mother deserved some time. Not everyone could be talented or focused.

Of course, Lawrend was aware of the intricateness of his strictness. He didn't want his maids to become lazy and dependent on him. They were his women, but they were also his combat maids.

If there were things that he didn't want to do, they would have to do it for him. Otherwise, why would they be his maids if they couldn't even serve him well?

It could also be argued that he needed to be softer with them since they were his women, but that was not Lawrend's style.

They might be the mother of his children, but that didn't give them the right to slack off and become entirely dependent on him.

"Master, please. Give it to me!"

Humility banged her head on the dirt in front of Lawrend.

"Here."

Lawrend's feet synergized with the ground.

The surroundings shook as a strong earthquake hit the ground deep beneath his feet.

Then, Lawrend's right palm opened up like a ravine forming after a strong earthquake. A blood-covered object floated up.

As the blood dripped down, it became clear that it was a crystal of some sort. It was the size of the other medicinal pills he had made.

"This is a diamond formed with the strongest pressure of the Ancient Earth Divine Magic. I resonated with the ground here and formed it within my body."

The ravine on Lawrend's palm healed rapidly, and the blood on the diamond disappeared.

The Ancient Earth Medicinal Pill appeared like a tiny marble. It was perfectly round and reflected light in a complex manner. With one look, it was easy to tell that this was a diamond.

Earth-related natural laws circled around its surface. It trembled with each second, as if an earthquake wanted to break out.

"Are you sure?" Lawrend asked Humility one last time.

"Yes, Master!"

"This is more dangerous than the other Divine Magics. It might be better for you to give up," Lawrend continued.

He didn't just say these things to warn her, but he also wanted to test her determination. It might be a crappy thing to do, but it was a requirement if she wanted to risk her life.

If she tried it and didn't have enough determination, she might just give up in the middle of the process and die miserably. Lawrend might be disapproving of her, but he wasn't heartless.

"Master… I don't want to die, but… when I think of it day and night that you're going to leave me, it makes me feel like it's better if I die. Besides, you aren't going to let me die, r-right?" Humility asked as her emotions poured out in the open.

"I won't interfere until the last second. I will only save your soul and not your body."

Lawrend stared at her coldly. Since she said that she would rely on his kindness to save him, he gave her an ultimatum.

Yes, she would be saved if something went wrong, but she would lose her body. That price was the same as dying, and Lawrend wanted it to motivate her further.
