Combat Maid Harem

Lawrend froze after listening to her words. He tried to take a step back, but she firmly held onto his arm. Her smile never changed, which only highlighted her confidence.

"I don't know everything, but I know what happened. Don't worry. I'm already yours," Reavire said and grinned.

She tiptoed and kissed him on the lips. Lawrend stared at her breathtaking appearance. For some reason, she appeared especially beautiful at that moment.

"Tch."

Lawrend turned to his maids, and he couldn't tell which one did it. His focus was on Reavire, so he wasn't paying attention to them.

However, Lawrend was quite familiar with his maids, so he focused his eyes on Humility.

She showed confusion, as if she didn't know why he was looking at her.

"Focus on me."

Reavire lifted his chin with her fingertip and turned him towards her. She grinned at him and slightly leaned forward to expose her bountiful cleavage.

'She r-recovered her strength…'

As expected of a Goddess, it didn't take long for her to regain her strength and start teasing him even after being exhausted. Lawrend would have been happy if it happened at any other time, though.

Reavire's eyes suddenly turned serious. "I chose this," she spoke with conviction.

"I understand."

Lawrend nodded, and she let go of his arm. Ramiela followed suit, understanding that he was about to explain the situation to them. She ran to Aleshia and the others and placed her hands on her hips.

"Aleshia, Ella, Elena, Humility, Amene, Grape, Ramiela, Nao, and Ember, this is Reavire. Reavire, meet my maids."

"Hello, everyone."

Reavire faced the group and bowed. Her posture and figure reflected a divine grace impossible to match. Everyone in the group except Ember frowned.

Speaking of Ember, she took a few steps forward and pointed at Lawrend.

"Master, are you still our master!?"

It was a question filled with anger and disbelief. She poured all of her heart into becoming strong in order to support Lawrend in his goal of defeating the Goddess. And yet, here he was, appearing with her embracing his arm.

From their perspectives, it looked like he was seduced after he lost to her.

"How do I prove that?" Lawrend asked.

Knowing his women, he didn't believe that yapping and showing proof to them would work. He needed to know what was already on their mind. After all, these women were intelligent and should have decided on a way for him to prove his identity.

"Kill her!" Ember shouted.

The others didn't react as if they had been expecting that answer from her.

Lawrend turned to Reavire and awkwardly smiled.

"Master… Don't tell us that she's controlling you…?" Ember's voice trembled as she took a few steps back.

The others tried to control themselves. Aleshia took several deep breaths as she tried to rationalize the situation before her.

"She isn't."

"Then why? Why aren't you killing her? Isn't that what we have been working for all these years?" Ember continued, her voice cracking with heartache.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Ember…"

Lawrend stepped to her.

However, he was shortly stopped by a hand that grabbed his shoulder.

Reavire didn't speak. She arrived beside him and locked arms with him. Her confidence showed she believed she deserved to stand with him.

"Lawrend is my Master! I'm his first maid! He will marry me and give me a baby… Hehehehe~"

"F-F-First maid!?"

This time, Aleshia shouted. Her eyes widened, and anger filled her body. She had heard this before from Reavire's mouth, but she didn't expect to hear it again and with such confidence.

"Is that wrong, Master?" Reavire asked Lawrend, her smile still smug.

"Y-Yes if we order it by time…"

"What!?"

Aleshia's face twisted into pure anger. Her black maid uniform emitted dark miasma that sucked in all the light in the cavern.

Lawrend felt a headache. His Maid Energy wasn't helping even though it was supposed to improve his charm. That was how he knew that she must be genuinely angered.

Ella stood behind Aleshia with her face covered with disbelief.

"Let me explain."

"N-No…!"

"I altered her memories! I made fake memories with her! She was gonna die no matter what, so she took her chances and signed a soul contract with me! She gave me full access to her memories, and my maid energy infiltrated and changed most of her history.

"I was there before she became the Goddess, and I was there when she was the Goddess. It's hard to wrap your head around, but I simply changed her memories so she believes that she is my maid!" Lawrend shouted. Anxiety covered his face as he panted.

For the first time in a long time, Lawrend was scared. He was scared of losing Aleshia. He didn't want her to become angry at him. That wasn't what he wanted.

A fervent clap sounded beside him. Reavire looked at him with an amused expression.

"Is that really what happened?" Reavire asked.

"Yes. I know you found out for some reason but still chose to forget it again," Lawrend replied.

He trusted his guts and understanding of women. He knew that something was off with her before, and he was certain now that it must be because she recovered her memories in some way but chose to forget them again.

"Hehehe~ Yes. I don't care. I don't care about my past. I faintly sense that I forgot some memories so I believe you. My past must be so lonely for me to accept this new life you gave me."

Reavire never lost the smile on her face. She didn't even seem to associate herself with her true self. She would rather live a lie than live a worthless life.

"R-Really?"

Now, it was Lawrend's time to be shocked. A pang of pain spread through his chest as he tried to imagine how much pain that would have been for her to accept a lie.

It reminded him of his school days back on Earth. Loneliness could poison the heart, further destroying all bridges.
